Again he fred, and Boettcher fell. He does not remember how many shots he fired, but thinks three or jour, probably the latter num- ber, as three took eflect. His weapon was a six- shooter. He acknowledged that he went to the house INTENDING TO KILL HIS SISTER'S SEDUCER. He shot him for interiering with family matters in various ways. Alter the tragedy he drove to his uncle's, on Second Carondelet avenue, and stated ‘what had happened. ‘The prisoner stated that We- ‘ber, Who was at first suspected as the murderer, had nothing to do with it, Bidding «the prisoner goodby the reporter started ier the Cronenbold mansion, about three miles distant, to get the statements of Mrs. and Miss Cronenbold, but mceting a friend of the fam- ily he was induced to give up the undertaking, as neither of the ladies were in a proper condition = talk on the subject, and the young lady is liabie ‘to lose her reason if not her life, Inan interview with the reporter of the Globe young Cronenbold stated :— In February or March last, I forget which, we meeded a servant at the house, and [applied to the German Emigration office lor a man, BOEITOHER INTRODUCED, The room was crowded when I went there, and while I was talking with Mr. Hulse # the subject Boettcher a ped up and said he would like the gtaatos thonghr he would give satisfaction. hin and took him to the house.

I suspected something wrong. di yr came to see Cora rather more oiten thanI thought necessary, and! believed then, as I be- lieve now, Boettcher had seduced her. They were to be married on Thursday evening last, and he came tothe house for that purpose. He wanted to amarry her’betore I was married, and in that way hurt my interests. The Glove’s pete says:— THE YOUNG LADY. The facts about the yous lady, between whom and Cronenbola Boettcher and the family inter- dered, are briefly :—Some little time ago Cronenbold ‘became smitten with the charms of a female do- mesticin the house, His mother and sister disap- roved his passion, and he, to insure his marriage, flowed the example of Count Fathom, at Bath, and bound the girl to tebe by such ties that she ‘would be giad to marry him at his pleasure. This fact was discovered at home, and, to sepe- rate him from the girl, he was sent to Europe and she was discharged. Upon his return he could Jearn no tidings of her, and to this is to be attrib- uted his dispirited state. Somehow he connected Boettcher win the girl's disappearance, and be- came embittered towards him, and when _ he learned of Boettcher’s intention to marry Miss Cora he determined to fou him, as he imagined himself to have been foiled by him. The Daily Times closes its report of the murder 8 follows :— Boettcher was about 37 years of age. He was born near Berlin, Prussia, and came to America 18 months He had a ratoer aristocratic air, and some of acquaintances suspected that he was ‘the “prodigal son’’ 0! some noble family, He was reticent about his history, but his habits were bpd ofa man of education and refined associa- It is hardly necessary to say that young Cronen- dold’s suspicions as to the improper relations detweon his sister and Boettcher were utterly unfounded, No two ladies in St, Louis stand higher in the estimation of those who knew them than Mrs. Cronenbold and her daughter. BOARD OF APPORTIONMENT. Additional Appropriations Granted and Asked For=A Proposal to Pay Eight Millions ot City Debt. A meeting of the Board of Estimate and Appor- tionment was hela yesterday afternoon at the Comptroller's oMce. There were present the Mayor (in tne chair), the Comptroller, the Presi- dent of the Board of Aldermen, and the President of the Department of Taxes and Assessments. ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATIONS. An appropriation of $10,000 was transferred from the apy ot jor heating the county offices to that of cleaning them, ee: Bere cial of $9,500 for stationery and law SB aed claims ‘already incurred, was asked tor od the Comptroller. ‘BIGHT MILLIONS IN DEBT. e Comptroller movea a resolution authorizing the rang ‘Of $8,310,307 55 to pay city bonds falling due on the 16th of January and the lst of Feb- ruary. THE PUBLIC LAMPS. A communication was received from the Com- missiover of Public he TE) for an appropri- ation for public lamps. The document was not read, and was Jaid over. “The President of the Board of Aldermen read a resolution, which he also asked should be laid over, sasking for an rt ela for the public lamps amounting to MORE MONEY WANTED. Communications were read by the Mayor, re- ceived by him since the last meeting of tue Board. One was from the Mount Sinai Hospital, asking for information as to why this institution was ex- eluded from. the list of Appt ppriacionay The Comptroller replied that Mount Sinai Hos- pital, St, Luke’s and several other hospitals had Not received any appropriation, because they never have received any, and were, therefore, not on the list. They were all very worthy institu- ‘tions, and he knew ol no reason why they should not receive an appropriation. BOARD OF POLICE ASKING FOR MORE. The Board oi Health applied for an additional ap- i riation Of $10,000, needed by the extension of diction. The Board o! Police also applied for $20,000 for alike reason. ‘The Commissioners of Charities and Correction applied for an additional pa ape of $7,000, to meet extraordinary ex- consequent upon the destitution of the laboring class, All these applications were laid over.

FINANOIAL AND COMMERCIAL The Market To-Day and Its Relationships. MONEY AND GOLD. id the eo aE NI A Sharp Advance in the Price of * Specie and Its Cause. as SES Railroad Bonds Firm—A Chance for Investment. ‘ALL STREET, FRuay, pion 12-6 P. iu. } There are no events to-day that require spectal comment. [f there has been an advance in prices on the market it has obeyed the general law of the hour which has compelled decline as the result of realization, The market has attained position which might have been an inducement to large buyers. Yet in the face of this tact PROBS ARE STEADILY WEAKBNING. We may. nevertheless, witness alternate strength and weakness as the result of the operations of men who, having been success- ful in moving the market upward, still retain a certain speculative strength. Nor is it tobe ex.) & pected that these men will let go their hold until they have accomplished the purposes for which they originally labored. The situation is in a nut shell, While cliques can maintain their individu. ality and a half dozen men may represent 4 million dollars each, and employ brokers to do their bidding, IT IS ALWAYS EASY TO ADVANCE PRICES to acertain point; yet, that point will always be, as it 18 at the present moment, consistent with the ability of the moneyed community to maintain their ‘vantage ground. Just so soon, however, as the element of ex- haustion develops itself, it seems to be apparent that the chief operators, from a feeling of sheer affright, must be forced to commence real- izing, which as @ result compels the market to resume its normal condition. The same powers that are necessary to advance values may depress them. It is, therefore, a fallacious belief on the part of A, Band C, who use mere MONEY AS THE LEVERAGE INFLUENCE of a combination, that a few hundreds or thousands can add to or detract from the public confidence. If the advance, which has already taken place, were consistent with the general improvement of the country; if it were not purely local, artificial and personally stimulative, strong faith might be feit tn the altitude of the market; but even the most casual observer must have seen to-day how FEVERISH, ELASTIC AND YIELDING the market was whenever the speculative support was withdrawn. We have but one thought to add. While the market is in this condition all outside parties should promptly realize and dispose of their holdings. Speculators owe it to themselves to avoid the well-known cliques of the market and retrain from selling that which they do not own. THE STOCK MARKET. The movement tn stocks to-day was not encour- aging to those who favored higher prices, There were various periods of weakness and recovery, but at no time was the general range of prices such as to command successful predictions. The decline and want of hope was largely based upon the action of Secretary Richardson, who fairly represents the administration in his en- deavors to resist inflation, and in his efforts to supplant any attempt thereat by recommending a system of internal taxes. THE MONEY MARKET. Money to-day was generally easy at seven per cent, exceptional transactions being mide at six per cent. Foreign exchange was somewhat active in the early part of the day, but less buoyant at the close, when rates for actual business were 108% for prime bankers’ sixty days sterling and 10934 a 109% for demand, THE GOLD MARKET. Gold opened at 109% and moved to %, then ad- vanced amid some manifestations of excitement to 110 a 110%, but at the close the bear influence pre- vailed and carried prices down again to 109% a 109%. There 18 reason for the assertion that the fature of the gold market will be attended by féver- ishness. Jf it be true that the government is a buyer to-day we have a cause for the sudden ad- vance that has occurred, and we may expect other important changes, based on the weakness of the Treasury Department when it is called upon to meet the demands of the Ist of January. We assume it to be true that other parties than government agents were algo buying, ana it is not difficult to understand the logic of their ac- tion when we review, a8 has already been done, the condition of the government coffers, A na- tion without practical money, without gold or silver, without anything as a basis for its credit but public faith, is excusable when it sends its representatives into the pubiic marts to purchase the tokens of value recognized elsewhere in the world, and it is therefore equally excusable on the part of speculators if they take advantage of the situation to advance the price of # very rare commodity.
