Tory Press Comment on O'Brien. | Copyright 1887 by James Gordon Bennet!.] LoNpoN, Sept. 20. — [New York Herald Cable—8pecial tathe BRr.]—The tory papers begin to attack the result in the O’Brien case.

The Pacific slope had searcely settled down ‘before the nearer west poured in with Colorado, Arkansas, New . Mexico and ‘Texas. The lowa and Missourt contingents reported mAny men and announced the coming of thousands more. Several hun- ared have reported from Pennsylvania. Early in the morning the Kentucky posts escorted their department commander to his headquarters and then moved to their tents, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois qnletl( passed through the streets, secking shelter and greeting friedns and comrades, By noon the railroads had brought in 10,000 citizens, sol- diers, and many more. ‘Ine feature of this encampment s the sheltering of large mumbers of old ve'rans in tents. ‘I'ried at each encampment before in small num- bers the rlnn 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 insp short a time, ~Within two months 8,500 tents with ample room for 25,000 soldiers have been put together and are now pitched in the ten beautiful parks of the eity, all within & radius of two miles. ‘The doubt whether the boys would take to tents has been dispelled, for more appli- cations for such shelter have been made than tents are ready for. All the after- noon and evening the arrivals of the veterans and their families have been in- cessant, ‘This evening 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 parade should take place as per rogramme, but in case it was impossible to form, or the ranks were broken by heavy rain, the parade should be postponed until Wednesday morning at 10 o’clock. In event of & postponement the annual encampment session F(up«r will not begin till Wednesday noon. General Fairehild, staff and party ar- rived this evening. A Lover's Desperate Deed. LiNcoLN, Neb.,, Sept. 26,—|Special Tele- gran to the Brr.)—Ienry Beer, a Bohe- mian stonecutter, shot and killed Augusta Seifert to-night because she would not marry him. "t'he tragedy occurred 1n the western part of the city, near the old stock vards, where the couple were out walking together. A man named Ed Sperlick saw Beer shoot the girl and immediately proceeded to capture him. He showed fizht, snapping his revolver at Sperlick and when it failed to go off he attempted to shoot himself. He falled, however, in this, and was easily arrested and lodged in the city jail. There was a great deal of excitament tor a short time, and the 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. The mother, however, refused to let the girl marry Beer, and when he importuned her to-night and she refused, he fired the fatal shots. ‘The re- mains of the dead girl were taken to her home. Both parties are quite well known. The murderer is a well appearing man and does not look like a hard character. After being locked up in jail he raved like a madman and begged to be furnished with a revolver that lie might blow out his brains. In his Jucid moments he wept bitterly and said he had killed the girl because he loved her and could not bear the thought that she would marry some other man. All Paris Discussing It. [Copyright 1857 by James Gordon Bennett.] PAnis (via Havre), Sept. 26.—|New York Herald Cable—Special to the Bek.|—Paris was too busy enjoying itself yesterday to give much attention to the latest frontier in- cident, news of which only reaches it In time to by read In the evening, but to-day this sub- Ject 18 in every mouth, though the fact that French blood has been shed makes the matter much more serious in some re- spects than the two Schnaebel nffairs. Last night, however, many hostile demon- strations might have been made. Outside the German embassy the government had extra police to hold off the crowd. Happily their services were not needed. The Bourse has not been much affected by the wild business 8hock, but the fall in rentes was much more trifling than after the arrest of the elder Schnaebel. AT THE GERMAN EMBASSY. 1 called at the German embassy this after- noon. Count Munster had just gone off to see Florence. I interviewed the embassy secretary, He took a sensible view of the episode. ‘'l knew nothing of the affair till last night,” sala he, “when I noticed an unusual number of police 1n the street and on inquiring why they wera there heard what had happened. No special communication of any kind has yet reached us, but the French embassador has probably asked for an expla- nation from Berlin to-day. Of course the matter will be raised there first, not here. Speaking unofficially 1 can assure you that the incident is deeply regretted at the German embassy, all the more so thai life has been sacrificed. It hardly seems credible that a deliberate outrage was com- mitted. It is possible that the Frenchmen had crossed the frontier or the German guards fancled they had and went beyond their instructions. There 1is, unfortu- nately, much excitement on the fron- tier, and guns at such times are apt to go off too quickly. If the offense 18 proved you may be sure France will tind us ready to give satisfactory reparation and punish offenders severely. No, the guards would not be handed over to France for trial. They woula be tried in Germany. Our relations with France are most courteous justnow. Neither nation wants war on such a quarrel and the German government cannof be held responsible because one or two petty officials have exceeded their or- ders. Believe me, in a day or two all will be peacefully settled. COOL-HEADED FLOURENS, Flourens, the clear-headed foreign minis- ter, had been too full of busindss dispatching and recelving telegrams to-day to be ap- proachable, but I have authority to say he will treat this incident as he did the Schnaebel at. fair, going to work quietly, making sure of his facts first, then firmly, though cour- teously, pressing for satisfaction, TALKS WITH JOURNALISTS. Great self-restraint is shown by the French press. Violent dietribes appeared in one or two Paris papers, but most of tha articles are singularly moderate. I discussed the ques- tion to-day with a number of journalists, among others Magnard, the able director of the Figaro: “It is pretty safe to assumne that the German explanation of the tragedy will be that the soldier, Kauffman, who, it now appears, fired the shots which killed Brigno- 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 Wanger 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 ill consequences, but the repetition of these episodes must cause mis- chief in the long run. Soonmer or later the explosion must come.” Charles Laudert, editor ot the republican Journal de Paris, took the affair as tragic. “The shots which have been fired across the frontler at our compatriots,” sald he, “will cost Germany dear. ‘The chancellor will have to give us serious satistaction,” His neighbor and rival, Charles Lalou Boulangier, airector of La France, was more philosophical. *I don’t foresee a rupture this time,” said he. *‘An arrangement will be patched up, but we can’t keep on endur- ing forever.” . Inthe absenceof M. Shrove, director of the Orleanist Solaili, I interviewed M. De La Hollen, a gentleman representing him: “The affair calls,”” he said, *‘for proper reparation, which I 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. If Germany wanted war it would find a better pretexf” “The presant state of things on the fron- tier can’t continue,” said Arthur Meyer, di- rector sof the Galois. “The existing laws are different on the two sides, and unless the neutral zone is marked out there will Cleansing the Augean Stables, W ASHINGTON, Sept. 26,—|Special Telegram tothe Brg.|—There Is more daylight on the political horizon for the republicans of Mary- land than there has been at any time since they met their Waterloo In 1867, For twenty years Gorman and his gang have ruled the state, Their ruling has been so arbitrary and their methods so disgusting that at last the respectable element in the democracy of Maryland has determined to cut off the incu- pus—Gorman—with all that that name im- plies. No one can have an idea of the stench which arises from corruption n Mary- land politics. Thieves, cutghrarts, jail- birds and ballot box stuffers absolutely rule everything. There has not been an honest election in Baltimore for fifteen years, but this year the citizens of that city are deter- mined that there shall be 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 leading democratic business men of the monwmental city. Among the names are those who are the most prominent bankers, merchants and ship owners and in fact the respectable business men of all classes. They have succeeded in convicting not less than ten ot the men who have raided the ballot- boxes and they have a great mauny more under indictments, Gorman and his hench- men—for Gorman s all powerful in the state of Maryland—have put up a state ticket of respectable tigure-head, but the platform upon which these dummies are to make their fight is entirely at varlence with the views of the citizens of Maryland, who are anxious for clean politics, The German faction refused to pay attentlon to the warning of the better eélement of the democratic party and as a result the leaders of the independent movement informed the republicans that if they would nominate clean men and adopt a platform such as was desired, which should give a pledge for an election law, based on that in operation in New York, thev would vote for .and support the ticket. This was done, the republicans complied with the request of the independents and the result 18 that the latter prowmise that the ticket shall be elected. Your correspondent spent several hours in Baltimore to-day looking into the situation. He saw twenty or thirty of the leading 1ndependent democrats and 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 6,500 at the most it will readily be seen that if the independents can keep their promise they have only to secure count .~ of the vote to insure the election of the entire republican ticket. Mr, Willlam L, Marbury, a leading member of the Baltimore bar, who has been a demo- I8 life, voiced the sentiment the "tTridependent party when he stated tu-day that nng attempt to tamper with " the ballots of the independents this year would certainly lead to bloodshed, as each and every man among them s deter- mined that the ballots shall be fairly counted. was the United States consul at Warsaw in 1875, the date of the lotter to Mrs. Mitkiewicz, Postal Changes.

The San Carlos Indian Trouble. ‘WASHINGTON, Sept, 26.—The war depart- ment has been aware for some time of the tureatened trouble at the San Carlos reser- vation in Arizona. The trouble appears to be similar to that of Colorow, arising from at- tempts by territorial officials to enforce civil rrmtnss on the Indians.

The Demurrer Sustained and the Government Suit Dismissed. Bostox, Sept. 206.—1n tie United States court in Boston a decision was rendered this morning sustaining the demurrer of the Bell 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 of 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 traud. 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 to cancel a patent,” is sound. “‘Our whole 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 suitto cancel a patent foran invention on the ground ot fraud, but congress has not_seen fit to in- corporats such provision into the patent laws; and thatisa sufliclent puswer to thls bill” “The main grounds on which the va- lidity of the patent are attacked,” says the decree, ‘can beraised in an Infringement suit. ‘Ihe question of power raised by the bill is animportant one, and in view of the conflict of authority it can only be definitely settled by the supreme court.

That is just the way hu treated Thoebe's candidacy, and he seems to think it presumptuous in a laboring man to contest with him for a seatin the national legisla- ture. Heand his friends claim that there is nothing in the testimony taken by Thoebe to entitle the latter to his seat, and they seem to expect the 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 retairr his Seat upon no other ground but that he is the democratic leader +and because the democratic majority in the house can awara the seat to him, thera 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 weighed and studiedethe testimony and hold a different opinion. The Knights ot Labor, who are interested in this matter, are convinced that Thosbe has made out his case and propose to stick to him. District Assembly 48, Knights of Labor, which takes in large 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. Au as- sessment has been levied to rly the expenses of the contest, and in addition to the attor- neys now representing Thoebe, lawyers of national reputation will be engaged to pre- sent his claims before congress.

FORTY-FOUR ROUNDS IN A BARN, Both Mon Badly Panished and the Referee Declares the Fight & Draw—Base Ball and Other Bports. A Prize Fight by Lamplight. KANKAKER, 11l., Sept. About 300 men gathered near here In a shanty yesterday morning to witness a prize fight between Billy Watson, of Chicago, and Tom Dufly, of Olilo, for $150 a side. Shortly after 5 o'clock both men steoped Into the middle of the ring, and a moment later one of the gamesy battles of recent years was begun. After sparring for an opening Dully landed lightly on Watson’s stomach, and in return recelved a left-hander on the jowl. Fierce fighting followed, and the round ended in a clinch, Both men were cautious in thesecond round, and the fighting, which was weak, was done at I""f range. In the third round Duffy got a crack on the nose that started the claret. ~ First blood was claimed for Watson and allowed. Cautious tighting followed until the seventh round, when Duffy caught an upper cut from Watson's right that litted him off his feet and Iald hi against the ropes. Weak fighting follow until the twelfth round, when Duffy forced Watson to his corner,where he dealt him two heavy blows on the nose. Watson replied with a swinging right-handery which splis Duffy’s lip and sent a strean of blood running down his neck and bosom. When the two men came up in the thir- teenth round they presented a battered ap= pearance. Duffy’s breast and arms were smeared with blood, and his mouth looked as though it ran from ear to ear. Watson was bleeding rrwl}l'. too, but he appeared to_have better wind. 1In the thirteenth round Duff} broke a small bone In his right wrist In af tempting to reach Watson’s jucular, but he continued to tight despite the pain his self« Inflicted injury gave him. In the fifteenth round Watson broke Duffy’s nose with & swinging left-hander, and followed it u) with a rattling blow on the neck. Terrific sluging followed until the twentieth round. Both men were covered with each other's blood, and the floor was bespattered with crimson spots, At one time the faces of the game fighters were completely plastered wittr gore, and Duffy’s upper lip, which had been split nearly to” his broken horn, hung upon his chin. 'As it was now after 6 o'clock Iampswere extinguished, the doors thrown open, and and the ficht continued by daylight. Duffy’s territic body blows in the twentieth, twenty-first, twenty-second and twenty- third © rounds had a demoralizing effect on Weston, who up to this time had escaped wmuch disfigurement. Both men sparred for wind in the twentys fifth, twenty-sixth, twenty-seventh and twenty-elxht rounds, but in the twentys ninth Dufly renewed hiy attack on Watson’s ribs. In the thirtieth round Watson smashed Duffy in the mouth with his left and caught & hard one on the body in return. Both men were bleeding so freely that it .was impossi= ble for their seconds to send them up clean. Duffy’s face was mangled in a most horrible manner. One eve was collmlmalr closed, the other was nearly tight and the blood from his broken nose and cracked lip ran 1n streams to the floor. There were huge lumps on his cheeks and his breast above the ribs was lacerated from the seams on Watson’s gloves, 1n tho thirty-seventh round Dufty sent Watson to the roves with a rlnqlnc left-hander, but caught a solid blow in the mouth In return. A clinch followed and continued till time was called., The spectators declared that they had seen enough and begged the reforee to call the ficht a draw. 1t was now broad duyl¥lne and people were stirring oyt of doors. 'he seconds, however, wanted to see the fight out to a finish and sent their men up for the thirty-eighth round. Both were too weak to do any effective work, and for five rounds scarcely a solid blow was struck. In forty-fourth round the men were so clearly exhausted that the referee called the fight a draw. The contest lasted two hours and forty minutes and was, without doubt, one fi( lh,l‘ gamest fignts ever witnessed in Il- nois. National League Games.
