The Arubs, hover- fagon the borders of this paradise, planned its invasion. ‘All the tribes of the desert united in one horde.

Thus mounted, the Bedouins—“ fabu- Jou enimals, winged men”—descended upon their prey, and seized it at the first swoop. The Pharaohs were exiled to Ethiopia, and the shep- herd-kinga taxed all Egypt. The Romans realized the value of superior weapons and the importance of aggressive war- fare. Rome wagonly saved from being crushed ‘gt Telamone, by the combined forces of the tes, Etruscans, and Gauls, through the su- ity of the Roman sword-blade. “ While the Gaul, whose badly-tempered sword had bent atthe first blow, was in the act of straightening itbeneath his foot, he was struck dead by the sharp, firm, and ready steel of his Roman ad- versary." The Romans were students of history, and, knowing the character of the peoples by whom they were surrounded, they realized that they must conquer or be conquered. Hence theylooked first to the quality of their arma, and next incorporated the nations they subdued into the Roman Empire, seeking thus to make them participants in the glory of the Govern- ment, which aimed at universal dominion. The Ghecks, by virtue of their high culture and supe- Horarms and armor, long resisted successfully thehontes of Persia under Darius and Xerxes. But neither their sagacity, their culture, nor thelr valor served ultimately to save them from the fate of the nations that opposed their war- like neighbors, the Romans. The outcome of the Fabian policy of Greece vindicated the wis- dom of the aggressive policy of Rome. ‘The man who Woitld successfully defend himself must strike ag well as parry the blows of his adversary. From the fall of the Roman Empire tothe twelfth contury there was scarcely any improvement in arms and armor. The battle of \ Hastings, by which “England was lost and won,” was foughtin the year 1066, was conducted on ‘oth sides by means of the lance, the sward, the mace, the ax, and bows and arrows.

Some additional details of. the attempted suicide of George Kénig, mention of which Was made in yesterday’s TrmmunrF, have come to light. Only one person at No. 20 Harrison street heard thé report of the re- volver. This was Mrs. Conley, who occupies the front room on the second floor:. She was awake, preparing food for: her babe. As soon as her attention was. ‘attracted by the noise she awoke her hus- band and. informed him, He raised the window, and, seeing. policeman (Halo- | Fan sole him some one had been shot, and asked him to arouse Mrs, Rice by ringing the bell. This” he did. Going up to the top of the flight of stairs, the officer found Konig lying on the floor nearly op- posit the door of the room he had formerly occupied. Beside him was a revolver, and a little blood was noticed on the carpet. He was insensible,—appeared like one in a sound sleep, breathing heavily. Haloran’ went to the Harrison Street Police Station and got a J¥agon, and, returning to the house, Kénig was placed inthe vehicle and taken to the County-Hospital. Before starting, however, Dr. Hildebrand was called in, and foundthat the, bullet had entered KOnig’s head just under the right ear. The Doctor.was unable, owing to the character of the wound, to say what the result would be, although the chances were against recovery. That Kénig shot himself was proven be- yond a doubt by the following letter, in- closed with another in an_ envelope, which was found in one of his pockets: - To whom it Lg ey lene Treanest tohave my body handed to the Chicago Medical College dis- secting room; but, should they refuse to take it, then please offer jtto some other college, A few months ago when I spoke to a student of the C.M.C.. asking hin what kind of a subject I would make for that purpose, he thought I was too fat to make a pleasant one.

Ko- nig or King had boarded with » Rica for abouta year and a half, but, becoming ob- noxious, being meddlesome and annoying, was finally told to get 2 room elsewhere. He leftin February, and since then had tried continually to get back. Meeting Mrs. Rice on the street, he would ‘ask her .if she hadn’t a room for, him, Her invariable answer “No.” ‘was Latterly, Konig seemed to his friends to be infatuated with Mrs. Rice. She, being a re- spectable woman, of course had given him no encouragement. ‘This, it is believed, angered him, and he made up his mind to bring reproach upon‘her. So he sat himself down and wrote a.vile letter, attacking her character, copies of which he. sent to, the newspapers, With the expectation, doubtless, that they would aid him in his revengeful scheme by. publishing. He kept a copy and put it into the envelope referred to, so as to doubly insure its getting into the hands of the reporters. he Sales Ore HAVING MADE THESE PREPARATIONS,“ Koing went to No. 20 Harrison street at half-past 1,/0’clock yesterday morning, and opened the Goor wit! anight-key which he had retained when he gave up Ifis room.

Konig is an infidel, and doesn’t beliéve that he ig accountable for acts done in this: world. Hence, he could slander Mrs. Rice without compunction. “In the suppressed letter he says that he had. told her that he intended to return to her house and kill himself, Thisshe denies. ‘Konig was conscious for about fifteen minutes yesterday, but. said nothin “about: the shooting. At midnight his condition was somewhat improved, and if was thought he would recoyer, though he is by no means out of danger. ~ SHE LOVED WELL, BUT NOT WISELY. of these, A, youn, rl named Annie Helgerson oR Sot birthday yesterday By to commit suicide ‘through attempting agency of an ounce of Jaudanum.

The Milwaukee Avenue Jewelry-Rob-" bers Held to Bail. ‘ ANOTHER MURDER. A hanging in the County Jail is exactly what is needed in. this crime-ridden city,. lynch talk to the contrary, The scaffold is. there in readiness. Last night a new candi- date presertted. himself. He is colored, and. combines for his use the appellations of thief, desperado, gambler, pimp, and mur- derer.. His .crime, too, ,is of ,the most ageravating character, and not one single point can be given in palliation. The mur- der was the work of a bloodthirsty villain who has been looking for just what he has now found. for years,—the’ opportunity of filling’ a murderer’s grave. His name is Charles Campbell; that of his victim Fenton M:: Beattie. In every respect Beattie yvas the opposit of his assasin, save in color alone, in which both were matched, which is avery light hue. Beattie was honest, hard- working, saving, and was .at all times en- gaged in looking: after the welfare of hfs wife and son, who aided: him. in ranning a | restaurant at No, 10¢ Van Buren street, in the rear. of which. ‘the family lived., The story of the killing is short and easily told. The location was the south side of Harrison -street, midway in the block between Fourth avenue and Clark street, and the hour was about 9;3% Camp- bell, under the influence of liquor, was walk- | ing, or rather staggering, west, and Beattie was walking east, evidently intending to call upon gome of the many colored people in the neighborhood, Uponreaching the spotnamed Campbell : staggered against Beattie, and knocked off his own hat. Then, instead of asking. pardon, he. swore at Beattie, and ordered him with an oath ond a, threat to pick up the hat and replace it. This Beattie refused todo. Campbell ranted and swore, and, “Beattie “still refusing to comply, he drew a. revolver and began flour- ishing ‘it, Beattie under_ this menace picked: ‘up the hat and replaced - it upon Campbell’s head. . Then, seeing he had a hard customer to deal with, Beattie began ta retreat across the street, but he had got only'a few paces away when Campbell, swearing all the time, fired two shots at him in rapid succession. Beattie, upon. feeling that he was shot, staggered across the stre into a cigar-shop Kept by Charles Landers also colored, and fell to the floor with a loud groan. é : : Campbell remained on the sidewalk for a few moments, flourishing his. revolver and uttering a string of oaths and violent talk. He was going to shoot down any one who came before him, and was looking about for some one else to shoot, when a gray-bearded man walked unwittingly right into his arms. Campbell stuck the weapon right into his face, but fortunately, the old-man never flinched, but faced him and said, “You wouldn’t shoot me, would you,” in a kindly tone. ‘You're too old.” replied the ruffian, as he turned away.. Then apparently recol- lecting: that he had better not remain ‘there, Campbell ran through a saloon, and out into an alley running south. By a rear way he gained entrance to Lizzie Moore’s house ‘of fll-fame, No. 118 Fourth avenue, and there made an attempt to shoot his mistress, Hattie Kehoe, but the cartridge failed to ex- plode: He then told her hastily he was in ‘ouble, gave her the weapon, and ran away. ‘The shots fired were heard distinctly at the Armory, only @ block anda half away, ant took Capt. Ebefsold .and a few policemen only a few moments to start out on the. trail of the murderer, A hasty description of him was obtaimed, and a few minutes later the Cap- tain and Officer Shandley saw aman emerge from the alley into Polk street and walk east- ward. The Captain ran and, springing upon the fellow’s back, arrested him. He “went along peaceably to the station, and had but little to say. e From the cigar-store the injured man was taken to the Armory, and thence to his home. Drs. Hildebrand, : Phillips, and Me- Donaid were summoned, bat they could do nothing saye to say that the wound was fatal. ‘The bullet had entered the right side of the wall of the abdomen, a little below the line of the navel, and passed through, or almost through, the body. While ‘in the station, Campbell was brought before Mr. ° Beattie, and he promptly identified him _in the hearing of a dozen or more persans. Nevertheless ap Dell said he nor nobody else. could idgntii ¥ him. Shortly after reaching his home, or at | twenty-two minutes to 11, Mr. Beattie ex- pired. He was a fine, manly-looking colored man, 83 years of age, and leaves a wife and ason about 12 years.of age. He came to this city about four years ago from Zanes- ville, O., where his relatives live, Capt, Ebersold, upon retracing shis steps, called at Lizzie Moore’s bagnio, and through the aid of Hattie Kehoe found the revolver in an ash-pile in the alley, where she had hidden it. It was one of the Robin Hood patt ‘and carried a 32-calibre bullet. The Iist of the witnesses is along one, the street having been fairly filled with people at the time. Dayid Milward, of No. 285 Kin- zie street, and William Smith, colored, a teamster at No, 14 Fifth avenue, are the chief ones, inasmuch as they actually saw the shooting and what immediately preceded it. Joseph Loeb, & No. 346 Clarice ‘street, aso saw the shooting, and heard Campbell threatening to “down ” the deceased, and to shoot everybody off the face of the earth. Thomas. Soars, a gray- peared gentleman living at the Adams House, was the one whom the assasin ex- cused because of his age. Besides these, ‘Albert Herbst, of No, 150 ‘Third avenue; L. Sternberg, of No. 111 Fourth avenue; Joseph Deprato, of No. 107 Dearborn street; Katie Kelley, of No. 96 Polk street; and a half dozen others, whose names were not taken, saw some portion of the affray, and are able to identify Campbell as the assasin. Campbell is very light in color, of short, chunky build, and slightly bald, He ts abou 98 years of age. Years ago he was a pimp at Lizzie Moore's house, and has only recently yeturned there, 2 vacancy having been caused by Tom Johnson shooting Charles Moody some, few weeks 0go. Not long ago Campbell stabbed a negro known as “Rip Van Winkle,” but he compromised, and escaped prosecution. In his possession was fourid a neatly-written and well-spelled poem written, by himself, the burddn of Which is found in the last two lines of the following, which is a fair sample of the whole: ‘When first I saw my Susie de ar [Twas on @ summer eve, ‘And ever since her face;I saw T've reason to believe” That she has robbed me of my bi ‘And now that I'am free : I will be true to Susie dear If she will be true to me. tis trie: ell is yery willing to at he ote italy that nothin ante made out of him. The only intel jigent thing he a as a hint that it was all a woman ern which is hardly true, as the men did not know each other. . ARCHER AVENUE MURDER. James B, Boyle, alias “Cap” Dixon, the alleged murderer of Jacob Miller, on Archer avenue, was yesterday arraigned before Jus- tice Wallace. Joseph J. Hayes, keeper of & saloon and boarding-house, testified to the facts which he told a TRIBUNE reporter some days,ago. The servant girl, Amina Franzel, testified. that Dixon, . to the best of” her ~ knowledge and belief, was the murderer, and called to niirid that in furnishing the reporter: with a description of the murderer she deséribed Dixon exactly. She also told oyer again the stor} of the rer.

On the way Dixon said he was afraid of the strikers, and went.ina different direction. This was the last he saw of him. At this point the case was continued to the 26th, in $1,000 bail, in order to give Dixon a chance to get witnesses for: his defense. om Croft's evidence—and there is every robability that he tells.the truth, and that: fis story will be corroborated—it was im-: ‘possible for Dixon to Jaave been at No. 543: ‘Archer avenue at 5 0’ ‘clock, the hour of the murder, Mr. Croft’s hotse is fully oné and one-half miles distant’ from there, and the route between the two places is rather cir: cuitous. Le + f THE, JEWELRY ROBBERS, * ‘Eddie Garrity, John Grady, William Dwy- er, and John Adlam, the four men charged with the daring robbery of Nordahi & Olsen’s | jewelry store, No. 213 Milwaukee avenue, were befgre Justice Walsh yesterday after- noon for a preliminary examination. At- torneys W. J. Hynes and Coffey con-" ducted the defense, and te police, after making ineffectual, attempts to get the Prosecuting Attorney, Intrusted the prose- cution to Lieut: Bonfield. Messrs. Nordahl and Olsen testified as to the facts of the rob- bery, and identified the jewelry recovered. by the police as the property then stolen. they also identified @ pine stick with a piece of clothes-line attached, which the thieves used to. fasten, the door. Adiam, the hack-driver, thought he was not to be ranked with the . thieves, and so, in order to get aseparate trial, took: a-change of venue to Justice Ingersoll, by whom he.was heldin $1,000 until Monday afternoon. The chief witness for the prosé- cution was Andrew Anderson, machinist and an ex-member of the Fire-Department. ‘He had just come outof the adjoining saloon, when windows were brokeft in, and he saw and recognized Eddie Garrity, who had been introduced to him some time before by *“Fat-Man” Burke. * When he attenipted to stop'Garrity, he put a revolver into his fave, Whereupon ‘witness simply said, Oh! very well; go on.” He gave information concern- ing this to both the police and the jeweler: Nothing could be done to’ shake {iis tes mony, Anderson swearing positively to Gar- rity’s identity.- ohn J. O'Connell, 14 years of age, a walf employed by and living with John Erickson, testifiéd to finding one of the stolen chains on the street, near wheré Officer Beck over- hauled the hack. Lieut, Bonfield and Capt. McGarigle swore that Adiam, in relating his story, statea twice that Grady was the only one of the party known to him, They and several other policemen testified that, upon searching Gar- rity, a chain, a revolver, a pocketful of red epper, and some papers, together with a small piece of window-glass of the same thickness as that of the broken windows were found. . Officer Thomas Beck, who effected Gar- rity’s capture, told his story, and several others aided him in relating the daring and repeated attempts made to assasinate him. He positively identified Dwyer as one of the men who gotout of thehack, just before Garrity escaped. ‘ The defense was not prepared to go on, and the case was postponed to Tuesday afternoon, Dwyer and Garrity belong held in $1,500 each, and Grady in $500. Upon’ an- other charge of robbing O. C. Land’s jewelry store, at No.-229 Milwaukee avenue, a couple of months ago, Garrity and Grady were held in’$800'each to the same date. It is said that the evidence: against them in this case is overwhelming. Garrity wasalso held in $500 to thesame date upon o charge of robbin the till of Casper Urbach, No. 298 Sedgwi street, of $13 cash some few weeks ago. WITH A RAZOR. | Two colored laborers, David Corning and Billy Allen,.yvorking side by side in a barber- shop at No. 591 Halsted street, at 4:30 yes- terday afternoon quarreled over some trivial thing, and Allen, being under the influence drew a razor, and, making several Co’ succeeded in on the left arm above the elbow. Corning knocked tim senseless with a chair, and then by- standers ‘rushed in and separated them. Allen packed up his:traps and left, and Corn- ing, after having his wound dressed, went |* about his work as usual. A BLOODTHIRSTY BOY, Boys’on West Indiana street are tempered with but little mercy. Yesterday Oscar Homberg was arrested for an assault to kill a companion named Reausso, ‘living at No: 224 West Ohio street. _ They auarzeled, and Oscar cut his antagonist in the back with his pocket-knife. He drew a revolver and fired upon Albert Reausso, when he attempted to assist his brother, and then the boys disarmed. him. But instead of going about their _busi- ness, they began fooling and firing off the captured revolver, until a citizen, fearing danger, confiscated the weapon to himself. THE JUSTICES. ¥% Samuel Levi, a Hebrew gentleman whose business is generally designated by three golden balls, was sent over to the Criminal Court yesterday in bonds of $400 by Justice Summerfield. He was ‘charged with receiv- ing stolen goods. Eugene M. Hartman went before Justice Hammer yesterday and swore out a search- warrant for the premises. of Dr. How, who resides in Hyde Park. Itis said that a hired girl who was in the employ of Hartman stole a guantity, of jewelry and wearing apparel belonging to his wife, and that the girl is now in the employ of Dr. How, hence the search- warrant, Andrew B. Lacy, colored, by suspiciously loitering about the corner. of Ashland avenue and Adams street, succeeded in getting him- self arrested. Upon being searched. at the station some sfiverplated knives and forks, sixteen commutation meal tickets, and a long screw-driver were found upon him. The former were identified by Mrs. French, of No.- 337 Adams street, and the meal tickets “belonged to | Mrs. by, of No. 63 Desplaines street. Upon a. charge of burglary Justice Walsh held him in $800 tothe 2th, and in $500 addi- tional upon_a charge of stealing a large marble clock from. the residence of Mrs. Clifton, No. 488 West Monroe street. The clock was recovered’ some Gays ago by the olice in the Cottage Grove district, Lac: having hired an expressinan to cart the cloc! to a place where it was not wanted. Lac; has been doing a great deal of thieving, an the police hope te be able to prove up against him something like one dozen cases.
