Fatal Accident
A distressing accident occurred at
Claysville, Washington county, Friday
, morning, the 4th inst., resulting in the
death of Frederick Weills, of that place.
Mr. W., it appears, was engaged in a
steam saw mill at Claysville, and at the
time stated he attempted to start the
mill, when for some cause the fly wheel
- would not move, whereupon he got upon
It without shutting off the' steam, and
the wheel started instantly with a full
head of steam on. He was thrown into
the pit and crushed to death. The de
ceased was a respectable man and an,es
tim able citizen. He was a son of the Rev.
F. Weill% and son-in-law of Jos. Dowdy,
late Treasurer of Washington county.

The little folks were sadly disappointed,

they furnish a chaste and interesting

was at the time engaged in shaving a
man, and, noticing the boy look

into Alderman Albeitz's otnee,which was

lie expired in about twenty minutes after
he received the wound. 1)r. Duncan was
called in and arrived a few Moments af

the skin over the right side of 'the
sternum as previously stated.
Au officer was notified of the affair and
arrested Kauffman, who acknowledged
to having fired the shot, and took him to
the watch house.
BRUTAL HOMICIDE.
Coroner Clawson was sent for on Sat
urday evening, but having gone home
the inquest was_not held until yesterday
at twelve o'clock, at which time a jury
was empannelled, and after being sworn
proceeded to an investigation of the case,
when the following testimony was taken:
.Dr. J. L. Duncan, sworn—l was called
to see the boy, Edward Miller, Saturday
evening, February 6th, between five and
six o'clock, at the office of Alderman Al
beitz; found him dead; examined the
body and found the ball had entered the
loft side of the back between the third
and fourth ribs, near the spine; turned
him over and found the ball under the
skin over the right brast bone or sternum
opposite the sixth — rib, and cut it out; it
did not touch a bone; from the direction
of the • ball through the body the boy
must have been from four to six feet
above the point from where the ball was
fired. The wound was undoubtedly the
cause of his death.
Was. J. Friday, sworn—Was In my of
fice near the St. Lawrence Hotel about
a quarter past 'five o'clock, Saturday
evening, the 6th inst., heard a shot;
came to the door; heard a child scream
and on looking down Penn street, saw a
boy on his knees in front of Alderman
Albeitz's office; ran to him quickly and
picked him up; asked him how he was
shot; he was insensible and made no re
ply; asked some children whore the shot
came from and they told me from the
barber shop under Albeitz's office; car
ried the child into Albeitz's office and
sent for a physician; then ordered a
citizen to arrest the barber: I examined
the body of the child and found that the
ball had entered as stated by Dr. Dun
can; the boy never spoke after he was
shot, and died before the Doctor arrived;
Michael or George Kauffman is the name
of the proprietor of the barbershop.
Charles Wagoner, sworn—Was in Kauff
man's barber shop between five and six
o'clock Saturday evening; was waiting
my turn to be shaved; Kauffman was
shaving a man and was nearly through
when some boys came to the window and
were fooling about it; Kauffman told
them twice to go away, and they did not
obey. He went to a little drawer near
him and took out a revolver and shot
through the window, which was half
open. Heard a boy cry out, "you have
shot that boy." Kauffman said, "I won
der if I hit him." The police then came
down and took him away. He acknowl
edged to the policemen that ho fired the
shot, and pointed out the revolver, which
was taken by the officers. Don't know
who the man was who was in the shop
when the shot was fired. , I live at 418
Penn street.
Several other witnesses wore examined
but their testimony was in substance the
same as that reported.
The jury found "that the deceased,
EdwardiMiller, came to his death in the
Ninth ward, city (4* Pittsburgh, on Sat
urday, February 6th, 1869, by a wound
from a--pistol shot tired from the hand of
Michael Kauffman."
TEE PRISONER'S STATEMENT.
Some two 1:15lltS after the arrest of the
Prisoner he was taken befure Mayor
Brush, to whom' he made a voluntary
, statement, which 'was in substance as
He frankly acknowledged to having
fired the shot which killod the child, and
gave as his reason for doing so that he
had been annoyed and aggravated by the
boy and his companions, who had been
standing in front of the door darkening
his shop, that he could not see to work.
He had driven !hem away once, and Mil
ler, the deceased, returned, when he
(Kauffman) allowing hie passions to as
sume control of his actions, drew the re
volver and fired, with the fatal result as
described. He states that when he fired
the shot the boy was facing him. •
THE PRISONER COMMITTED
W. W. Miller, the father- of the de
ceased, having made information before
the Mayor, charging—Kauffman with
murder, the Mayor, after hearing the
facts, committed the accused to jail for
trial.
In a few momenta after the murder
was committed, a large and excited
crowd assembled about the barber shop
and Alderman's office, where the ,body
of the boy was lying, and bad the facts
or circumstances connected with the
atfAir at that time been generally known,
it is hardly pmbable that the county
would have had to incur the expense of
trying Kautfaisn for murder. The
prompt and decisive action of the police,
in ;wresting him and conveying him to
the lock-up most probably prevented the
perpetration of another crime, for as soon
as the facts became generally known,
there was an evident disposition on the

ADDITIONAL COURT ROM
Proposed Improvement In the Court
House and Jail—elan Submitted and
Adopted. ,
At the meeting of the Prison Board
Saturday morning, Mr. J. U. Barr, of
the firm of Barr & Moser, architects, sub
mitted a plan of proposed improvements
in the present Court House and jail
building, in order to provide the addi
tional court and office room, which is re
quired to transact the business of the
county. The plan contemplates the va
cation of the present jail building ffor
prison purposes, and the erection of a
new jail, or rather two buildings, one on
either side of and in line within° jailors'
house, fronting on Ross street. The one
next to Fifth avenue, which is to be thir
ty by fifty feet, to be occupied by female
prisoners, and the building next to Dia
mond street for male prisoners, will be
thirty .by eighty feet. These nrisens to
gether will contain sixty cells, a suffi
cient number, it is presumed, for the ac
commodation of court prisoners, after
the Work House is completed. The only
entrance to the jails will be through the
jailor's house.
The cells will be removed from the
present jail, leaving a room on the first
floor of forty-five by ninety feet, with re
cesses of nineteen by twenty-four feet.
Hero it is proposed to locate • the Pro
thonotary's office, which will be fire
proof, and offices for the Commissioners
and Sheriff. The room being on a level
with the rotunda floor, will be reached
by a halt leading from the rotunda to
the proposed Prothonotarv's office. As
this will separate the offices now in use
by the Sheriff, it is proposed to construct
a room in the rear of each of the rooms
on either side of the hall, the one the
right or next the present Quarter Ses
sions room, to be used by the Shtriffy and
the other for the Commissioners. The
hall separating these offices and leading
to the Prothonotary's office will be oppo
site the main entrance to the court house
and will be teu feet wide. In rear of the
Sheriff and Commissioners offices there
will be a cross hall ten feet wide, in which
will be stairways leading to the floor
above, where it is proposed to locate the
Criminal Court room immediately over
the Prothonotary's office. It will also be
connected with the rotunda by stairs
and a passage leading from the platform
of the main stairway in the rotenda. A
Private passage will be constructed from
the second story of the jail, connecting
with this court room.
The plan also proposed the construc
tion of stairways leading from the rotun
da to the corridors running through
the basement of the building, by which
access, gained to the various offices lo
cated there. Over the rooms occupied
by the Commissioners will be a large
room which may be fitted for the Law
Library, and over those of the Sheriff
are rooms which can be fitted up as a re
tiring and consultation room.
Haying disposed of the present build
ing, the plans submitted contemplate
the erection of a one-story stone build
ing on the Fifth avenue side of the pres
ent jail building, in which offices for the
Controller and 'freasurer will be located.
These offices will have communication
with the rotunda through the passage
way already referred to will be commo
dious in size and well ventilated, and
will be provided with the necessary tire
proof vaults, etc. Tho architects esti
mate that the, entire improvement
will not cost more than seventy-five
thousand dollars, and express the opin
ion that the work can be finished by next
fall. The location of the Criminal Court,
as proposed, would give four court
rooms, for civil business exclusively, in
the old build ng, which will be suffi
cient to meet the demand for some time
to come.
`The plan has been adopted by the
Commissioners, after a free consultation
with the members of the Prison Board,
and a Committee, of which Judge Kirk
patrick is chairman, has been appointed
to secure the necessary legislation to
authorize the Commissioners to collect
the tas required to meet t e expenses
incurred.
