Tlio tragedy occurred in the western part of the city , near the old stock yards , where the couple were out walking together. A man named Ed Sperliclc saw Beer shoot the girl and Immediately pioceeded to capture him. Ho showed lUht , snapping his revolver at Sporllck and when It failed to go off ho attempted to shoot himself. Ho failed , however , In this , and WAI easily arrested and lodged In the city Jail. There was a great deal ot oxcitamont tor a short time , and tlio acquaintances of the girl talked of lynching her murderer , but quiet soon reigned In the vicinity of the jail. The facts leading up to the tragedy are that Beer was desperately In love with the girl , who lives in the city with her mother. The parties all came over from the old country to gether some fifteen months ago. Tlio mother , however , refused to let the girl marry Beer , and when ho Importuned her to-night and she refused , ho lirod the fatal shots. The re mains of the dead girl were taken to her home. Both parties are quite well known. Tlin murderer Is a well appearing man and does not look like a hard character. After being locked up In jail ho raved like a madman and begged to bo furnished witli a revolver that ho mlelit blow out his brains. In his lucid moments he wept bitterly and s.xld ho had killed the girl because he loved her and could not bear the thought flat she would marry some other man. Clny County Hepubllcnns.

Thousands of Veterans Housed Under Can van at Bt. IjouU. ST. Louis , Sept. 20. The national salute from Camp Washington heralded the dawn ing of the day and aroused the army of vet erans and committees whoso duties called them to early trains. A fine mist dampened the atmosphere this morning and grad ually resolved into a steady rain , The first train this morning brought In great crowds ot veterans and visitors. The Pacific slope had scucely settled down before the nearer west poured In with Colorado , Arkansas , New Mexico and Texas. The iow and Missouri contingents reported many men and announced the coming of thousands more. Several hun dred have reported from Pennsylvania. Early In the morning the Kentucky posts escorted their depaitment commander to his headquarters and then moved to their tents. Ohio , Indiana and Illinois quietly passed through the streets , seeking shelter and greeting frledns and comrades. By noon tlio railroads had brought In 10,000 citizens' , sol diers , and many more. Tne feature of this encampment Is the sheltering of largo numbers of old ve'rans In tents. Tried at each encampment before in small num bers tlio plan gave such satisfaction and pleasure that it was decided thus to house vast numbers , and the executive committees arranged to care for a greater concourse of people In the field than has ever before been attempted In any land , except In times of war. Perhaps no canvas city of such proportion has ever been built In so short a time. Within two months 3,500 tents with ample room for 25,000 soldiers have been put together and are now pitched In the ten beautiful parks of the city , all within a radius ot two miles. The doubt whether the boys would take to tents has been dispelled , for more appli cations for such shelter have been made tlmn tents are ready for. All the after noon and evening the arrivals of the veterans and their families have been in cessant This ovonlng visitors were enter tained by receptions at the various posts and headquarters. Owing to the Inclemency of the weather It was agreed to-night that In case of a light rain or drizzle the piradu should take place as per programme , but In case It was Impossible to form , or the ran us were broken by heavy rain , tlio parade should bo postponed until Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock. In event of a postponement the annual encampment session proper will not bo in till Wednesday noon. General Falrchlld , staff and party ar rived this evening. BELLi WINS AGAIN. The Demurrer Sustained and the Government Suit nismlRHod. BOSTOX , Sept. 20. In the United States court lii Boston a decision was rendered this mornlrig sustaining the demurrer of the Boll Telephone company against the gov ernment suit and the case was dismissed. The opinion of the court was written by Judge Colt , who stated that the main purpose ot the bill was to cancel two patents granted to Bell , relating to the act of transmitting speech by electricity , on the ground that they were obtained by fraud. The court quotes opinions by Judge Shipley In other cases of like nature and says this opinion , to the effect that the "government In the absence of any express statement , has no right to bring In equity cancel " Is sound. "Our whole to a patent , pa tent system rests upon the constitutional pro vision and statutes passed by congress. Con gress could have provided that the govern ment snould have the right to bring suit to cancel a patent for an invention on the ground of fraud , but congress has not seen fit to in corporate such a provision into the patent laws , and that is a sufficient answer to this bill. " "The main grounds on which the va lidity of the patent are attacked , " says the decree , "can be raised In an Infringement suit. The question of power raised by the bill Is an .important one , and In view of the conflict of authority it can only be definitely settled by the supreme court. Tlio demurrer to the bill Is sustained and the bill dismissed. " Jenka Declines to Talk. WASHINGTON , Sept 20.

[ Cop/ri0M | 1857 by James Qonlon Rennetl. ] PAUIS ( viaHavre ) , Sept. 26.-New | York Herald Cable Special to the BEK.J Paris was too busy enjoying itself yesterday to give mjch attention to the latest frontier In cident , news of which only readies It In time to bo read 1n the evening , but to-day this sub ject is lu every mouth , though the fact that French blood has been shod makes the matter much more serious In some re- pects than the two Schnaebnl affairs. iast night , however , many hostile demon- tratlons might have been made. Outside the ierman embassy the government had extra lollco to hold off the crowd. Happily their ervlces were not needed. The Bourse has not been much affected by the wild business hocK , but the fall In rentes was much more rifling than after the arrest of thn elder jchnacbel. jchnacbel.AT AT THE OEIIMAN EMBASSY. 1 called at the German embassy this after noon. Count Munster had just gene off to oe Florence. I Interviewed the embassy ocretary. Ho took a sensible view of the episode. " 1 knew nothing of the itfalr till last night , " said ho , when I noticed an unusual number of pollco in the street and on Inquiring why liny wern there heard what had happened , tfo special communication of any kind has ret reached us , but tlio French einbassador las probably asked for an expla nation from Berlin to-day. Of course ho matter will bo raised there first , not lei e. Speaking unofficially 1 can assure . on that the Incident Is deeply regretted at .lie German embassy , all the more so thai Ife has been sacrificed. It hardly seems credible that a deliberate outrage was com mitted. It Is possible that the Frenchmen tad crossed the frontier or the German guards fancied they had and went beyond .heir Instructions. There Is , unfortu- lately , much excitement on the fron tier , and guns at such times are apt to go off too quickly. If the offense s proved you may be sure Franco will rind us ready to give satisfactory reparation and punish offenders severely. No. the guards would not bo handed over to France for trial. They would bo tried In Germany. Our relations with France are most courteous lust now. Neither nation wants war on such a quarrel and the German government : annof be held responsible because one or ; wo petty officials have exceeded their or ders. Believe me , In a day or two all will be peacefully settled. COOIrllEADED FI.OUIIENS. Flourcns , the clear-headed foreign minis ter , had been too full of business dispatching and receiving telegrams to-day to bo ap proachable , but I have authority to say he will reat this Incident as ho did the Schnaebal at. 'air , going to work quietly , making sure of ils facts first , then liriuly , though courteous teous/ ! , pressing for satisfaction. TALKS WITH JOtm.NAI.lST3. Great self-restraint is shown by the French press. Violent dletrlbes appeared In one or iwo Paris papers , but most of th , articles are singularly moderate. I discussed the ques tion to-day with a number of Journalists , among others Maenard , the able director of the Figaro : "It is pretty safe to assume that the German explanation of the tragedy will be that the soldier , Kauffman , who , It now appears , fired the shots which killed Brlgno- mand , warned his superior. Lieutenant Wanger supposed he was settling accounts with a German poacher , From all I know , " said Magnard , "I am inclined to regard the shooting of Lieutenant Wangor and his attendant as the result of a misinterpretation of orders by the brutal German functionary rather than wanton provocations. Things will doubtless be arranged quietly here with out Immediate 111 consequences , but the repetition of these episodes must cause mis chief In the long run. Sooner or later the explosion must come. " Charles Ltudert , editor ot the republican Journal de Paris , took the affair as tragic. "The shots whicii have been fired across the frontier at our. compatriots , " said he , "will cost Germany dear. The chancellor will have to give us serious satisfaction. " Ills neighbor and rival , Charles Lalou Boiilangier , director of La France , was moro philosophical. "I don't foresee a rupture tills time , " said he. "An arrangement will be patched up , but we can't keep on endur ing forevert" _ In tlio absence of M. Shrove , director of the Oleanlst Soialli , I interviewed M. Do La Hollen , a gentleman representing him : "The affair calls , " ho said , "for proper reparation , which 1 cannot doubt Germany will give. To hold the German government absolutely responsible for all the crimes of Its petty subordinates Is hardly fair. I can't believe any deliberate provocation was meant. It Germany wanted war it would find a better pretexC" "The present state o ! things on the fron < tier can't continue , " said Arthur Meyer , di rector tof the Galois. "Tho existing laws are different on the two sides , and unless the neutral zone Is marked out there will bo war soon. There Is something ominous in the spectacle of the French and German gendarmes glaring at each other across the line. Equally significant Is the steady reapproaclnnent of the French-Russian pee ple. .If France was what she was we could not tolerate such things as are happening In Alsace-Lorraln. See how they grow In gravity. First they entrap an official ; now they shoot French down in cold blood. I re peat this can't go on. The frontier Is a standing menace tothe peace ot Europe. " M. Mayer , director of Lo Lantoruo , the leading radical organ , said : "The affair ir In Itself Is not important , but reveals a verj serious state of affairs ou the frontier Whlcl i may cause a collision any moment Tin 9 poor fellow who was shot did hli i country a great service by calling attentlor to this frontier fermentation.

W ASiiiXQTON. Sept 2fl. ( Special Telegram to tlio BKK. | Thorn Is moro daylight on the political horizon for tlio republicans of Mary land than Micro has been at any tlino since they met their Waterloo In 1807. For twenty years Gorman and his sang , have ruled the state. Their ruling has been HO arbitrary and their methods so disgusting that at last the respectable element In the democracy of Maryland has determined to cut off the Incu bus Gorman with all that that name Im plies. No one can have an Idea of the stench which arises from corruption in Mary land politics. Thieves , cutjfhrarts , Jail birds and ballot box stutters absolutely rule everything. There has not been an honest election lu Baltimore for liftoen years , but this year the citizens of that city nro deter mined that there shall bo a fair vote and a fair count. A few months ago a reform league was organized and money subscribed to banish the tricksters who have controlled the elections In the past. This movement has been fostered and aided by almost the entire Baltimore bar and within the rank of the Independents are the leadlnc democratic business men of the monumental city. Among the names ate those who are the most prominent bankers , merchants and ship owners and In fact the respectable business men of nil classes. They have succeeded in convlctlne not less than ten ot the men who have raided tlio ballot- boxes and they have u great many more under Indictments. Gorman and his hench men for Gorman Is all powerful In the state of Maryland have put up a state ticket of lospoctable figure-head , but the platform upon which these dummies arc to make their light Is entirely at vnrlenco with the views of the citizens of Maryland , wiio are anxious for clean politics. The Gorman faction refused to pay attention to the warning of the better element of the democratic party and as a result the loaders of the Independent movement informed the republicans that if they would nominate clean men and adopt a platform such as was desired , which sjiotild give a pledge for an election law , based on that In operation in Now York , they would vote for and support the ticket. This was done , the republicans complied with the request of the Independents and tlio result is that the latter promise that the ticket shall be elected. Your correspondent spent several hours In Baltimore to-day looking Into tlio situation , lie saw twenty or thirty of the leading independent democrats ana was assured by them that there will be at least 8.000 votes , usually democratic , cast for the republican ticket In Baltimore alone. As the democratic majority In that city does not ex ceed 0.500 at the most It will readily bo seen that If the Independents can keep their promise they nave only to secure a count of the vote to Insure the election of the entire republican ticket. Mr. WilliamJL.JUarbury. a loading member ot the Baltimore bar , vine has been a demo crat aU Jhls life , voiced tlio sentiment of the'-TTndepcndent party when he stated to-riar that any attempt to tamper wlttrtho ballots of the Independents this year would certainly lead to bloodshed , as each and every man among them Is deter mined that the ballots shall be fairly counted.

That Is just the way ho treated Thocbe's candidacy , and he seems to think It presumptuous In a laboring man to contest with him for a seat in the national legisla ture. He and his friends claim tliat there Is nothing In the testimony taken by Thoebo to entitle the latter to his seat , and they seem to expect tlio democratic majority In the house to adopt their view of the case without so much as In vestigating the testimony. But if Mr. Car lisle Is to retain his scat upon no other ground but that he Is the democratic leader and because the democratic majority In the house can award the se.at to him , tbero will be music in the air. Mr. Carlisle says there is nothing in the testimony taKen In the case to give Thoebe the seat. That may be his opinion , but there are others who have welched and sUidlooUho testimony and hold a different opinion. The Knights of Labor , who are Interested in this matter , are convinced that Thoebo has made out his case and propose to stick to him. District Assembly 48 , Knights of Labor , which take * In Urge portions of Ohio , In diana , Kentucky and West Virginia , has taken up Thoebe's case and will see that jus tice Is done him or know why not. An as sessment has been levied to pay the expenses of the ronte.st , and In addition to the attor neys now representing Thoebe , lawyers of national reputation will boengaged to pre sent his claims before congress. We me.in to bo treated fairly , and If we am not we will know how to revenge ourselves. " Close Relations With Guatemala. WASHINGTON , Soot. 21.

Shortly after 5 o'clock both men stooped Into the middle of the ring , and a moment later ono of the games ! battles of recent years was begun. After sparring for an opening Du'lTy landed light ! } on Watson's stomach , and In return received a left-hander on tlio jowl. Fierce lighting followed , and tlio round ended In a clinch. Both men wore cautious In the second round , and the lighting , which was weak , was done at long range. In the thlnj round Duffv got a crack on the nose that started thn clarot. First blood was claimed for Watson and allowed. Cautious lighting followed until the seventh round , when Dully caught an upper cut from Watson's right that lifted him off his feet and laid him against the ropes. WCIIK lighting followed until the twelfth round , when Duffv forced Watson to his cornerwhere hn dealt him two heavy blows on the nose. Watson replied with a swinging rlght-handcrvwhch ! split Duffy's lip and sent a stream of blood running down his neck and bosom. When the two men came up In the thir teenth round they presented a battered np- \ pearance. Duffy's breat > t and arms were smeared with blood , and his mouth looked as , though It ran from ear to ear. Watson was ' bleeding freely , too , but lie appeared to have better wind. In the thirteenth round Duffy broke a small bono in his right wrist In at tempting to reacli Watson's jugular , but ho continued to light despite the pain his self- Inlllctcd Injury gave him. In the fifteenth round Watson broke Duffy's HOSO with a swinging left-hander , and followed It up with a rattling blow on the neck. Terrific slugging followed until the twentieth round. Both men were covered with ouch other's blood , and tlio floor was bcspattoiod with crimson spots. At ono time the laces of the game lighters were completely plastered witlicore , and Duffy's upper 111) , which had been split nearly to ills broken horn , hung upon his chin. As It was now after ( I o'clock lamps"wero extinguished , the doors thiown open , and and the tight continued by daylight. Duffy's terrific body blows In the twentieth , twenty-lirst , twenty-second and twenty- third lounds had n demoralizing ; effect on Weston , who up to this time had escaped much disfigurement. Both men sparred for wind In the twenty fifth , twenty-sixth. tw nty-seventh and twenty-cluht rounds , but In the twenty * ninth Duffy lonowed hlu attack on Watson 8 ribs. In the thirtieth round Watson smashed JutTy In the mouth with his left and caught i hard one on the body In return. Both men ivero bleeding so ireely that It .was itnpossi- > le for their seconds to send them up clean. Duffy's face was mangled In a most horrible nanner. Ono eye was completely closed , .ho other was nearly tight and the blood from ils broken nose and cracked lip ran m streams to the floor. There were huge lumps on his cheek. ! and his breast above the ribs was lacerated from the seams on Watson's gloves. In the thlrtv-sevonth round Duffy sent Watson to the roues with a ringing eft-hunder , but caught n solid blow n the mouth In return. A clinch followed and continued till time was called. Hie spectators declared that they had seen enough and negged the referee to call Iho fight a draw. It was now broad daylight tin ! people were stirring out of doors. The seconds , however , wanted to sou the tight out : o a finish and sent their men np for the thirty-eighth round. Both were too weak to do any effective work , and for live rounds scarcely n solid blow was struck. In the forty-fourth round the men were so clearly exhausted that the referee called the light a draw. The contest lasted two hours and Forty minutes and was , without doubt , one ' of the gamest tights over witnessed in 11- 'Inols. . National League Gamo-i. ] 'iriiAiUi.riiiA , Sept. 20.
