Father Weichmann Dying.

Father F. C. Weichmann, well known by many residents of this city is reported to be dying at Gas City. Father Weichmann has held a number of important pastorates and is among the brightest and most popular Catholic clergymen in the diocese. Until last Saturday he was, apparently, in his usual health. He then suffered a succession of hemorrhages from the lungs and his reoovery is deemed improbable. Father Weiohmann is a celebrated popular orator, especially on patriotic subjects, is an old soldier, a Republican in politics and; we believe, a member of the G. A. R.
