THE OMAHA DAILY BEE. AL PATTERSON WAS PLUGGED Bequel of a Quarrel Over Oigarcttes and | Boiled Doves, lOU GOLDSMITH'S READY REVOLVER Pragedy in the fenderloin Distriot—Patter- son Was a Colored Man—Goldsmith Had Certain Idens of Etiquette and Race Prejudices Alfred Patterson, colored, formerly a scr geant in Troop ¥, Ninth cavalry, and who lives with his wife and child at Eleventh and Chicago streets, was probably fatally shot last evening at 7 o'clock by Lou Gold- smith, Goldsmith tends bar for his father, Louis Goldsmith, at the cornerof Ninth street and Capitol avenue. Patterson, accompanied by George Shep- hard, William Grimes and David Ramsey, with whom he had been working for an expressman during the afternoon, went into Goldsmith’s saloon to divide pay with the others, they having been tendered a bill in payment for their services. The four men ordered their drinks and were waiting for their change when Minnie Gray and Sadio Rush, two frail females who claim to live at the Fairchild house at 110 North Ninth street, entored. Story ot the Shooting. According to the evidence of Patterson's companions, Goldsmith asked one of the women for a cigarette, which was given him, after which Patterson asked: ‘“Lady, won't you give me one, too?’ Upon this, it is *claimed, Goldsmith said: “Get out, you black —— —— ——1" and followed up his remar! with an assault upon Patterson, la the back of the latter's head with a billiard cue. Nov satisfied with this, it is claimed that he threw a beer bottle at Patterson, who was retreating all this time, and then, when Patterson's friends had gotten out of the side door, and Putterson stood on the edge of the pavement, Goldsmith took three shots at the negro with a .88-caliber Smith & Wes- son revolver, ou2 of which caught bim in the lower part of the back and laid him low. Placed Under-Arrost. Allof the parties excepting the women, who retreated at an early stage of the game, were at onco arrested, Goldsmith, Shep- hard, Grimes and Rumsay being taken to the police station and the injured man to the Presbyterian hospital, where Dr. Somers attended him. It was found by the ph cian that the bullet that entered Pa son's back, had taken a downward course and could not be reached, and that the man's chances for recovery were very small. At a late hour last night Patterson was resting easily, but there were small hopes for his recovery. Colored People Indignant, Patterson, as nearly as can beascertained, is a sober, inCustrious man, who has always borne a good reputation, and is the last man in the world to mako trouble, unless pro- voked. All his colored fellow citizens have nothing but good words for him, and deplore the fato that has befallen him, The feeilng: “mwong them was very ‘bitter last night, it being the opinion of most of them that Gold- smith would never be brought to justice, Retloonce of Witnesses, It is claimed by Goldsmith's father that Patterson drew a knife on hisson; that either Patterson or one of his companions took one of the women by the arm and used insulting language to her and toward young Goldsmifh 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 be seen last night, and the woman in charge of- the house where they are quartered woula say nothing, but that they would give their evidence when the time came for Goldsmith's trial, It appears, however, from all thatcan be learned, that young Mr. Goldsmith has long haukered to make a record, and from pres- ent indications it scems as if he had done it. NOW THE BRIDE OF DEATH, After Three Matrimoninl Veutures Mrs. Arocson Weds Her Fate, “Kiss me mother, for you will never have an opportunity to do so again.” This was the remark of Mrs. Ole Arnescn made to her mother at 5 o'clock last evening at her mother’s cottage in the alleyway be- tween Twenty-fifth and Twenty-sixth and M and N streots. Two hours later the woman Wwas a corpso. It was a clear case of suicide. Arneson and his wife were wedded 9 months ago in Fort Omaha. Arneson is & harness maker and has been in the employ of Pat Toner in this city for a number of years. His wifo has been married twice before. From all reports the couple have not lived happily to- gether. Arneson appears to be a steady, hard 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. Arneson was heard scrcaming and yesterday told her mother that Arneson had been choking her. Arne- son says that he did not injure her, but up- braided her for drinking, Morphine's Deadly Work. A large crowd of people gathered at the scene of the suicide as soon as the report reached thie streets, rneson lives a few doors above Jason Garrison's. It was in the latter's house that the woman died. Mrs Arneson-bought 10 cents worth of morphine in one store and 5 cents worth in another. She swallowed it all before golng into her mother's house. When she first entered she said sho was going to North Omaha and waated to kiss her mother goodby. " A few moments later she said, MKiss me again mother, for you will never seo we again, I have taken cnough mor- vhine to kill myself and I am going to die.” Jim Howard was sitting in the room atthe time and noticed that the woman looked badly. Amoment later she fell off tho chair. She was picked up and placed on the bed, but did not recover consciousuess from that time until death relieved her suffering. Dr. Solomon was called ib, but it was too late for any medical aid, Rogret of Her Arneson was seen by a reporter for Tue Brrand sald: *1do not know why my wife should do anything like this. When I was homo for my dinner she was in good spivits, Bho had been washing in the forenoon.” Arneson feels very badly but suys vothing. It is said thav this is not the first time that Mrs. Arneson Las attempted suicide. At oue time in Fremont she took a dose of laudanum with the inteution of killing her- self, but fortunately the dose was Lo lurge and her life was saved. Mrs. Aroeson had one daughter, & child 7 years of uge. ‘I'bis child bas always wade usband, 19, 1871, OMAHA, SATURDAY — MoRNING, her home with her grandmother, Mrs. Gar- rison. It was @ pitiful sight to seo this little one at the bedside of its dead mothe begging for her to “‘please wake up.” Coroner Maul came down and after view- ing the corpso said that he would hold an inquest at 11 o'clock this morning in Brewer & Sloan’s morgue on Twenty-fifth strect, HE; AT TO SIGHT, Friends of Byron Kahne Are I an Alleped Mystery, ‘Where 1s Byron J. Kuhne? Several people in Omaha would like to know the present whereabouts of the young gentleman in question. According to a quict tip from the tongue of Dame Rumor ¢he young man disappeared from his usual haunts on or about June 26, Tt is claimed that since that date his in- timate friends have not seen him in Omaha. Kuhne went in good society. He was well liked. He wus employed by the Rich- ardson Drug company in this city and it is said that he is in good standing with his employers, They regard himas a faithful and bonest employe. This adds to the mystery of his disappearance, Just why he should drop out of' sight just at this particular time is not known by his intimate friends. Several of them last evening expressed the opinion that he was evidently sojourning in some other city for awhile, but at any event they re- garded his disappearance was a mysterious procedure. Last night a- Ber reporter called at 524 South Twenty-sixth_avenue, where Kuhno formerly resided 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 o late hour last evening. 1t was impossi- ble to find any trace of the missing man, Some sensational rumors are afloat in re- gard to the young man's disappearance. It is sald that the aid of the police will be in- voked today to locate Kuhne, as his friends are becoming somewhat worried over bis prolonged absence. erested In - WORK OF DES MOINES WOMEN.

Des Moixes, July 14—[Special Telegram to Tue Bee.]—The Des Moines women who went to Pomeroy in a special car last Tues- day returned today.

Mrs. Montague says that neither tongue nor pen could in any way describe the con- dition of the Pomeroy victims, for after the cyclone had swept over them, having blown them in every direction and left them liter- ally stripped of all their clothing with Tmhw wounds and bruised flesh, the hail descended hard and sharp upon their quiv- ering bodies, rendering their recovery doubt- ful if the breath of life had not already been dashed out of them, Those who were not killed or injured were in a pitiable condi- tion, having absolutely nothing to wear, and it was most painful to see the women who came to the car for assistauce. As soon as they were provided for many of them left for the homes of their friends in other towns, and as soon as the wounded can bear it they are being sent to other towns that have signified o willmgness to care for them, so that now thero are only about fifty of the wounded to be taken care of. They have sufficient clothing for the present, but need more stoves and more good strength-gi ndwiches and coffee forming th» food, sat principal diet for both sick and well. - Dr. J. F.

YESTERDAY'S DEBATE WAS A LIVELY ONE Count Herbert Blsmarck Hecomes Obstrop- erous and Is Called Down—ie De. nounces the Sociallsts and 1s An- swered in Plain Langunge, Benuty, July 14.—A vote was taken today on the amendment to the army bill offered yesterday, providing that the two years ser- vicesystem be fixed legally. Theamendment was defeated by 160 majorit; During the debateon article i of Section 2 of the bill, Count Horbert Bismarck made & speech that aroused general interest. He declared that he was satisfied with the bill, though Ne was opposed to the two years ser- vice system because the socialists, through thesshort term of service, might corrupt the army. ‘There would not be time in two years to expel the socialist polson from these re- cruits. The third year of service would serve as a reformatory school. “This remark caused a great uproar. When order was restored, Herr von Kardoff of the Reichspartei apvealed to the house not to allow such a scandalous violation of the right of debate. Count Herbert, proceeding, explained that he voted for the bill because the government had not fixed two years as the permanent term of service. Chancellor von Caprivi followed Count Herbert. Count Hervert frequently inter- rupted the chancellor, who at last appealed to Herr von Levetzo w. The latter called Count Herbert to order, The chancellor then proceeded, and at the conclusion of his remarks Herr Bebel, one 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 unablo to kill social democracy, and still less was the son able to do 'so. With regard to socialism permeating ‘the army in the two years system. he could assure the government the permeation had already been effected, and, in tones of triumph, he conclud “Wo exist. You will not be able to get rid af us except by killing us.” Herr Bebel's remaris decided sensation. Later, in the _discussion of article if, Cornt Herbert Bismark planted himself before the chancellor in reference to article i of the bill. This gaverise to another uproar. Herr Von Levetzow reminded Count Her- bert that the articlo on which he wishea to comment had been passed by the house, Count Herbert returned to his seat amid & storm of howls from the soclal democrats and Richterist members, Toward the closs of the discussion Bis- marck apologized to Count von Caprivi for his interruption. The chancellor bowed his acceptance of the apology. caused a most = PARISIAN BLACKMAILERS, They Bleed M. Buloz Out of Large Sums of Monoey. Pans, July 14.—A great sensation was caused in literary circles today by the expose of a gang of blackmallers, who, for a long time bled M. Charles Buloz, editor of the Review des Deux Mondes, of an immense sum of money, said by some to the amount of 16,250,000 fratics, ~The blackmailers are said to be mon of the best Parisian families, who moved and still move in good society, These men had for thew accomplicos dis- solute women who had carried on liasions with M. Buloz. These women imparted to the men all the secreis of their relations with M. Buloz and such other matters con- cernng him as came to them. Then the blackmailers would write to M. Buloz threatening to expose hum to his family and acquaintances if he did not pay to them cer- tain sums of money. M. Buloz, it appears, was fearful lest knowledge of his wrongdoing should come to the ears of his wife, and he paid the money demanded of him. ' Some time ago M. Buloz w0k o vacation, He left the city and has not since been scen. It is feared by some that part of the money he paid out belonged to the Revue des Deux Mondes. During the first part of his absence he wrote frequently to his paper and to his wife, but no one knows where he now is. The discovery that he had been blackmailed was due to the fact that a note made by M. Buloz for a large sum of money fell into the hands of Mume. Buloz, who at once started au_investi- gation that resulted in un expose of the whole scheme. Mme. Buloz, who was married to M. Buloz in 1878, is the daughtorof Prof. Richel, a member of the Academy of Science. She has entered an application for a divorce. It is reported that among the women implicated in the affair are three wha contributed arti- cles to the Revuo des.Deux Monues, The shareholders of the puper will hold a meet- g tomorrow, Mme. Buloz will probably be made editor of the periodical. The exposure of M. Buloz's derelictions has been a great shock to his friends, who always believed that his ‘character was above suspicion. Further developments are awaited with much interest. IT WAS A MISTAKE. Attack by the French on the Siamese Con- trary to Orders. Loxpox, July 14.—A special from Bangkok, Siam, says twenty Siamese were killed and fourteen wounded yesterday during an ex- change of shots between the forts at the mouth of the Meinam river and French gun- boats.

The Bangkok correspondent of the Times says: “Neither thu forts nor the gunboats were damaged in the skirmish, but one Siamese gunboat ran down the French pilot boat and it is said sank it.

M. Lambertson of this city, who late this afternoon filed with the clerk of the supreme court a motion for arehearing. The motion was flled ufter the supreme court had finished the work of the extra session and is not likely to be acted upon for somo weeks. Mr. Lambertson stated this evening that his brief setting forth the grounds upon which the court will be asked to grant a re- hearing will be very lengthy and thav it would not be ready for filing until tomorroy. evening. The state officials interested in the matter look upon this newest phase of the impeachment proceedings with unconcealed disgust. Acensed Admit no Worry. Thoy express themselyes as being per- fectly satisfied that there are no grounds upon which the case can be reopened, and claim that the court of impeachment, having finished its labors and rendered its de- cision, could not again be invoked except by a.vote of the legislature sitting in joint convention. They denounce as preposterous the propo- sition that the supreme couct can again re- solve itsclf into a court of impeachment. Secretary Allen is outof the state, having been called to Ohio by the death of a brother, while the commissioner and the at- torney general refused to be disturbed by tho prospect of another trial for malfeasance in oftice. Attorney J. L. Webster of Omaha was in the state house for a few hours yesterday. He refused to admit that he had been called here 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 election.

RUSSIA IN AMERICAN WATERS, She Will Maintaina Powerful Fleet of War Vensels on Our Coust. New Youx, July 14.—The Times will say 1n the morning: 1t was learned from high Russion sources yesterday that the Russian government has decided to maintain a per- manent flect of wariships in United States waters,and the port of New York will be made Russia’s western headquarters. The opinion is ventured it nuval circles that in view of tne likelihood of the Bering sea case going against. GreatBritain and the late an- nouncement that England s reinforeing her nayal force at Esquimault, the proposed action of Russin was one of great import- ance to the United States.

NEW Yo York bauks after-July 1 resulted in prepar< ing to meet such requests, and, while nona such took place, the locking up of funds by cupitalists, bankers and others caused high rates for money eurly in the week, further restricted commereial discounts resulted in several banks cashing checks at the subs treasury instead of using the clearing house, and in other ways produced a ratner less favorable financial situation than at the close of vhe present week, which, however, has sivce been improved. Chicago has felt the increase in the de. mand for funds ew York's relative in. ability to supply 8 shme was commented on west and 10 Thus far, aps parently, New Yo' alone has increased commercial discounts, though only to u small extent.
