Alfred Patterson , colored , formerly a ser
geant In Troop F , Ninth cavalry , and who
lives with his wife and child nt Eleventh
nnd Chicago streets , was probably fatally
shot last evening nt 7 o'clock by Lou Gold
smith. Goldsmith tends bar for his father ,
Louis Goldsmith , at the corner of Ninth
street nnd Capitol avenue.
Patterson , accompanied by George Shep-
hard , William Grimes nnd David Ramsey ,
with whom ho had been working for an
expressman during the afternoon , wont Into
Goldsmith's saloon to dlvldo pay with the
others , they having been tendered n bill in
payment for their services. The four men
ordered their drinks und were waiting for
their change when Minnie Gray and Sadlo
Rush , two frail females who claim to llvo nt
the Falrchtld house at 110 North Ninth
itrect , entered.
.Story nt the Bhootlnp.
According to the evidence of Patterson's
companions , Goldsmith asked ono of the
women for n cigarette , which was given
him , after which Patterson nskcd : "Lady ,
won't you give mo ono , too ! " Upon this , it Is
'claimed , Goldsmith said : "Got out , you black
1" and followed up his remarks
with an assault upon Patterson , laying open
the back of the Inttcr's head with a billiard
cue. Not satisfied with this , It is claimed
that ho threw a beer bottle at Patterson ,
who was retreating all this tlmo ,
nnd then , when Patterson's friends
had gotten out of the sldo
door , and Patterson stood on the edge of the
pavement , Goldsmith took thrco shots at
the negro with n .88-callbor Smith & Wes
son revolver , ott3 of which caught him in
the lower part of the bactt and laid him low.
I'liiecd Cn lof"Arn t.
All of the parties excepting the women
who retreated at an early stage of the game
wcro at once arrested , Goldsmith , Shop-
hard , Grimes and Ramsay being taken to
the police station and the injured man to
the Presbyterian hospital , where Dr. Somcrs
attended him. It was found by the physl
clan that the bullet that entered Patter
son's back , had taken n downwnrt
course and could not bo reached , and that
the man's chances for recovery wcro verj
small. At a late hour last night Patterson
was resting easily , but thcro wore smal
hopes for his recovery.
Colored 1'eoplo Indlgnnnt.
Patterson , as nearly as Can bo ascertained
Is a sober , Industrious man , who has always
borne a good reputation , and is the last man
In the world to make trouble , unless pro
voked. All his colored fellow citizens have
nothing but good words for him , and .deplore
the fatothat has befallcnjilraThe jfocfiiig
"flinotigrthRin wns "very -Tittec-iisi nlgtitfi'lt *
being thu "opinion of most of them that Gold
smith would never bo brought to Justice. .
Jtetleoneo of Witnesses.
It is claimed by Goldsmith's father that
Patterson drew n knife on his son ; that
either Patterson or ono of his companions
took ono of the women by the arm
nnd used Insulting language to her
nnd toward young Goldsmith when
the latter Interfered , but this
statement Is backed only by the young man
who did the shooting. The women who
were primarily responsible for the trouble
had possibly been "coached" and could not
bo seen last night , and the woman in charge
of-tlio house where they are quartered would
say nothing , but that they would pivtMhofr
evidence when the time came for Goldsmith's
trial.
It appears , however , from till that can bo
learned , that young Mr. Goldsmith has long
hankered to make a record , nnd from pres
ent indications it seems as if ho had done it.
NOW THU IlltlUi : OF DEATH.
After Thrco IWntrlmonml Ventures Airs.
Arnonnii Weds Her Kitto.
"Kiss mo mother , for you will novcr have
nn opportunity to do so again. "
This was the remark of Mrs. Ole Arncscn
made to her mother at 5 o'clock'last evening.
nt her mother's cottage la the alleyway bo-
twecn Twenty-fifth and Twedty-sixth and
M and N streots. Two hours later the woman
was a corpse.
It was n clear case of suicide. Arncson
nnd his wife were wedded 9 months ngo in
Fort Omaha. Arneson is a harness maker
nnd has been in the employ of Pat Toner in
this city for a number of years. His wife
has been married twlco before. From ull
reports the couple have not lived happily to
gether , Arncson appears to bo n steady ,
hunt working fellow. His wife on the other
hand Is said to have been considerably ad
dicted to drink and the neighbors say that
the couple have quarreled frequently. On
Thursday evening Mrs. Arueson was heard
screaming and yesterday told her mother
that Arncson had been choking her. Arno-
son says that ho did not Injure her , but up
braided her for drinking.
Alorphlne'a Dun illy Work.
A largo crowd of people gathered at the
cone of the suicide us soon na the report
reached the streets , Arneson lives a few
doors above Jason Garrison's , It was in the
3I
lattcr's house that the woman died. Mrs. I
Arncson-bought 10 cents worth of morphine
in ono store and 0 rents worth 0o 0n
another. She swallowed it all before
going into her mother's houso. When she
first entered she said she was going to
0r
North Omaha nnd wanted to kiss her mother
Koodby. C A few moments later she said I ,
"Kiss mo again mother , for you will novci >
BOO mo again. I have taken enough raor-
phlno to kill myself nnd I am golup to die. ll
Jim Howard was sitting in the room at the
0d
titno and noticed that tho.woman looked
badly , A moment later she foil off the chair ,
She was picked up and placed on the bed
but did not recover consciousness from thai
itf
time until death relieved her suffering. Dr ,
Solomon was called in , but it was too late
for any medical aid ,

should do anything like this. When I wai
homo for my dinner bho was In peed spirits

Arncspn feels very badly but ajs nothing
It Is said that this is not the first Unit
that Mrs. Arneson Un attempted suicide
At one time in Fremont she took n dose 0.r 0.t

ro
self , but fortunately the dose was too larg : o
and her life was saved ,

Where is Byron J. Kuhnul
Several people in Omaha would llko
to know the present whereabouts of the
young gentleman In question.
According to a quiet tip from the tongue
of D.imo Rumor cho young man disappeared
from his usual haunts on or about Juno 20.
It Is claimed that since that date his in
timate friends have not seen him lu Omnhn ,
Kuhno went In good society. Ho wns well
liked. Ho 'was employed by the Rich
ardson Drug company in this city and it
is said that ho Is In good standing with his
employers. They resrard him as n faithful
and honest employe. This adds to the
mystery of his disappearance.
Just why ho should drop out of sight
Just nt this particular tlmo is not
known by his intimate friends. Several of
thorn last evening expressed the opinion that
ho was evidently sojourning in some other
city for awhile , but nt any event they re
garded his disappearance was a mysterious
procedure.
Last night a-Bun reporter called at 524
South Twenty-sixth avenue , where Kuhno
formerly rcstded with his folks. Several at
tempts to bring a response to the chimes of
of the door bell failed. The rumor of the
disappearance spread its wings over the city
at a Into hour last evening. It was impossi
ble to find any trace of the missing man.
Some sensational rumors uro afloat in re
gard to the young man's disappearance. It
is said that the aid of the police will bo in
voked today to locate Kuhne , as his friends
are becoming somewhat worried over his
prolonged absence. ' *

Dns MoiNns , July 14 [ Special Telegram to
Tun BEE. ] The Des Motncs women who
went to Pomeroy in a special car last Tues
day returned today. They took with them
their own provisions , cots to sloop on and
sowing machines , besides * quantities of
ready made clothing nnd'matcrlal for mak
ing now garments. They wcro thoroughly
organized for work ana hence accomplished
a great deal in a short space of time. Mrs.
F. T. Montague says that neither tongue
nor pen could in any way describe the con
dition of the Pomcroy victims , for after the
cyclone had swept over them , having blown
them lu every direction and loft them liter
ally stripped of all their clothing with
pnpincr wounds and bruised flesh , the hail
descended hard and sharp'UpDii their quiv
ering bodies , rendering their recovery doubt
ful if ttio brcatli of life had not already
been dashed out of them. Those who were
not killed or injured wcro in a pitiable condi
tlon , having absolutely nothing to wear , nnd
it was most painful to see the women who
cumo to the car for assistance. As soon as
they were provided for many of them left
fortho homes of.thoir friends in other to wns ,
and ns soon as the wounded can bear it they
are being sent to other towns that have
signified a willingness to care for them , so
that now there nro only about fifty of the
wounded to bo taken care of. They have
sufficient clothing for the present , but need
moro stoves and more good strength-giving
food-sandwiches and. coffee forming the
principal diet for both sick and'well. '
Dr. J. F. Kennedy , secretary of the State
Board of Health , has been called to Pom
croy on account of thn condition of the town
and vicinity , produced by decaying bodies of
animals. The people undertook to burn the
dead nnlmals , and not having good facilities
the work was not well done.

NO DOUBT OF ITS PASSAGE
Von Oaprivi's ' Pot Measure Sure to Pasa the
Gorman Reichstag ,
YESTERDAY'S ' DEBATE WAS A LIVELY ONE
Count Herbert lllsmnrck llecomes Obstrep
erous nnd la Culled Down tin Do.
nonnccs thn Socialists nnd Is An.
gwcred In 1'lnln Language.
July 11. A vote was taken today
on the amendment to the army bill offered
yesterday , providing that the two years ser
vice system bo fixed legally. The amendment
was defeated by 109 majority.
During the dobatn oil article 1 of Section 2
of the bill , Count Herbert Bismarck made n
speech that aroused general Interest. Ho
declared that ho was satisfied with the bill ,
though no was opposed to the two years service -
vice system because the socialists , through
the short term of service , might corrupt the
army. There would not bo time in two years
to expel the socialist poison from these re
cruits. The third year of service would servo
as n reformatory school.
This remark caused a great uproar- When
order was. restored , Hcrr von Karuoltof the
Rolchspartcl upDcalcd to the house not to
allow such a' scandalous violation of the
right of debate.
Count Herbert , proceeding , explained that
ho voted for the bill because the government
hud not fixed two years us the permanent
term of service.
Chancellor von Caprlvl followed Count
Herbert. Count Herbert frequently Inter
rupted the chancellor , who at last appealed
to Hcrr von Lovotzo . The latter called
Count Herbert to order.
The chancellor then proceeded , and at the
conclusion of his remarks Hcrr Bobcl , ono of
the leaders of the social democrats , said
that In listening to Count Herbert Bismarck
the house had heard the father
speaking through his son. The great
father had been unable to kill
social democracy , aud still less was the son
able to do so. .With regard to
socialism permeating the army in the
two years system , ho could assure
the government the permeation had
already been efTeoted , and , in tones of
triumph , bo concluded : "Wo exist. You
will not be able to got rid of us except by
killing us. "
Ilerr Bebel's remarJts caused a most
decided sensation.
Later , in the discussion of article ii ,
Cornt Herbert Bismark , planted himself
before thu chancellor in reference to article
i of the bill. This gave rise to another
uproar.
Hcrr Von Lovotzow remindedCount | Her
bert that the urticlo on which ho wishcu to
comment had been passed by the houso.
Count Herbert returned to his seat amid
n storm of howls from the social democrats
and Rlcbtcrist members.
Toward the close of the discussion Bis
marck apologized to Count von Caprlvl for
his interruption. The chancellor bowed
his acceptance of the apology.
' PAltlSIAN ULAOK.AtAir.KRS.
They Uloed M. lluloz Out of LirRo duui §
of 'Money.
PARIS , July 14. A great sensation was
caused in literary circles today by the expose
of a gang of blackmailers , who , for a long
time bled M. Charles Buloz , editor of the
Review dcs Deux Mondcs , of an immense
sum'of money , * said' by some to tho' amount
of 16ar 0,0oa fraiics , Thu blackmailers are
said to bo mon of the best Parisian families ,
who moved and still move in good society.
These men had for their accomplices dis
solute women who had carried on liasions
with M. Buloz. These women Imparted to
the men all the secrocs of their relations
with M. Billow nnd such other matters con
cerning him as came to them. Then the
blackmailers would write to M. Buloz
threatening to expose him to ills family and
acquaintances if ho did not pay to them cer
tain sums of money.
M. Buloz , it appears , was fearful lest
knowledge of his wrongdoing should coma to
the ears of his wife , and ho paid the money
demanded ot him. Some time ago M. Buloz
tpok a vacation. Ho left the city and has
not since been seen. It is feared by some
that part of the money ho paid out belonged
to the Revue des Deux Mondes. During the
first part of his absence ho wrote frequently
to his paper and to his wife , but no one
knows where ho now is. The discovery
that ho had been blackmailed was duo to
the fact that n note made by M. Buloz for a
large sum of money fell into the hands of
Mine. Buloz , who nt once started an investi
gation that resulted in an expose of the
whole scheme.
Mtno. Buloz , who was married to M. Buloz
In 18T8. is the daughter of Prof. Richel. ft
member of the Academy of Science. She
has entered nn application for a divorce. It
is reported that among the women implicated
in the affair are three who contributed arti
cles' to' the Revue des.Dcux Monties. The
shareholders of the jxtper will hold a meet
ing tomorrow. Mmo. Buloz will probably bo
made editor of the periodical.
The exposure of M. Bulo/'s derelictions
has been a great shock to his friends , who
always believed that his 'character was
abovo.suspicion. Further developments are
awaited with much interest.
IT WAS A MISTAKE.
Attack by the French on the .Siamese Con
trary to Order * .
LONDON , July 14. A special from Bangkok ,
Siara , says twenty Siamese were killed and
fourteen wounded yesterday during nn exchange -
change of shots between the forts at the
mouth of the Molnum river and French gun
boats.
In the House of Commons today Mr , Glad
stone stated that the foreign ofllco had re
ceived news of the ascent of the Mo'nam
river by a French fleet , but it had not heard
of actlvo hostilities between the French and
Siamese. The prime minister added that ho
rolled upoa the assurances on the matter
given to Great Britain by the French gov
ernment being kept. Mr , Gladstone's state
ment was greeted with cries of "Hear ,
hear. "
BANQKOK , July 14. The French minister
has Informed the Shimeso government that
the commander i of the gunboats Comotonnd
Constanta misunderstood thojdtuation when
they fired upon the Paknam 'forts and
ascended the Melnam river. Their instruc
tions contemplated no such action. The
anxiety which prevailed throughout the city
yesterday and last night has been partially
allayed by the arrival of another British
gunboat. The announcement was made to
night that an armistice has been concluded
nnd the Incident might possibly bo explained
by Franco as regrotablo.
PAHIS , July 14 , A semi-official note ex
plains the Bangkok incident thus ; Franco ,
learning that England and other nations
were Bonding war vessels to Bangkok , noti
fied the Siumoso government , as required by
treaty , on July B of her intention to Increase
the French naval force at the mouth of
Melnam river. Later , when It was found
that no other than British vessels entered
the rlvor , Slam having objected to the pres
ence of moro than ono foreign vessel , Franco
instructed Rear Admiral Humann not to
cross the bar of the Meinum river , aud noti
fied the Siamese government Accordingly.
The order wns received too late by Humuuu
and ttio gun boats ascended to Bangkok.
The Bangkok correspondent of the Times
says : ' Neither thu forts nor the gunboats
were damaged in the skirmish , but ono
Siamese gunboat ran down the French pilot
boat and It is said sank it. The Siamese
warships are ready for action and 4,000
troous are under arms around the palace.
The city is tranquil , but intensely anxious.

LINCOLN , July 14. [ Special Telegram to
Tins Ben. ] All speculations concerning the
intention of the managers of impeachment
to have the cases against Commissioner
Humphrey , Attorney General Hastings and
Secretary of State Allen reopened were sot
nt rest by Attorney G. M. Lambortson of
this city , who late this afternoon filed with
the clerk of the supreme court a motion for
a rehearing. The motion was filed tiftor the
supreme court had finished the work of" the
extra session nnd is not likely to bo acted
upon for some weeks.
Mr. Lambertson stated this evening that
his brief setting forth the grounds upon
which the court will bo asked to grant a re
hearing will bo very lengthy and that it
would not bo ready for filing until tomorrow
evening. The state officials interested in the
matter look upon this newest phase of the
impeachment proceedings with unconcealed
disgust.
Accused Admit no Worry ,
They express themselves as being per
fectly satisfied that there nro no grounds
upon which the case can bo reopened , and
claim that the court of impeachment , having
finished its labors nnd rendered its do-
cislon , could not again bo invoked except by
a.vote of the legislature sitting in Joint
convention.
They denounce as preposterous the propo
sition that the supreme court can again re
solve itself into a court of impeachment.
Secretary Allen is out of the state , having
been called to Ohio by the death of a
brother , while the commissioner and the at
torney general refused to bo disturbed by
the prospect of another trial for malfeasance
in ofllcc.
Attorney J. L. Webster of Omaha was In
the state house for a few hours yesterday.
Ho refused to admit that ho had been
called hero by the newest turn in the now
celebrated case , and denounced the attempt
to reopen the whole matter as a piece of
politics intended to influence the fall

of the likelihood of the Boring sea case
going against Great-Britain ana the late an
nouncement that England Is reinforcing her

ance to the United States. With a Russian

ability of a powerful British fleet on the
