was enacted, at the corner or IRENE ana Y
Hospital streets. 1t appears that Mrs. Schu- /.
maker, a widow woman, about forty five .
years of age, who kepta cake and confection-
airy store at the corner indicated, had for
some years been living on terms of intimacy
with Antoine Kreppel, a German baker, and
that, on condition that she paid him 81 600
he had agreed to marry her. On Friday af-
t~ernoon, when baking q batch of biscuits,
Antoine neglected them so that they were
burned, and when the widow learned how
careless he had been, she rated him sound
ly for his neglect. A lovers quarrel then
ensued, which lasted all night and the next
day. As the evening Of the glorious Fourth
approached, Antoine seemed more than usu-
ally moody and morose, and suddenly arising
from a seat which he had been occupying for
n quarter of an hour, he seized a knife and
commenced a murderous assault upon the
widow. She ran and screamed, and be pur-
sued her across the street, still stabbing her
whenever she came within the reach OF his
yengeful arm.
At length she fell, with no less than eleven
wounds in her body, several Of which were
mortal, and as she did so he turned the Weap-
on on himself, and with one stab In his side
and another In his abdomen fell beside her,
and together the blood of the murderer and
his victim flowed in one common stream
Tn widow was conveyed to her residence,
where she died in the course of a few hours,
and Kreppel was taken to the Charity-Ho
pital. 1t is thought that he will recover
but escaping the fate of G. suicide, he will
have TO. stand before the courts a murderer,
for when en- the way to the hospital he de-
cIared repeatedly that the act had been con-
templated for months.-Picayune of 9Th.
The REPORTED DIFFICULTY BETWEEN Cox
AND MASON CoNTRADICTED.-The Louisville
Journal of the 18th instant expresses the opin-
ion that the report Of the late difficulty be-
twaen Messrs. Cox and Mason, candidates
for Congress in the Ninth District il. incorrect.
It says:
The difficulty is said to have occurred in
Morgan county. The first appointment of
Mason and Cox in Morgan county was on
Wednesday, the 9th of July. We have be-
fore US the Mt. Sterling Wing of Friday, the
10Th. The report of the difficulty reached
Cynthiana on the morning of the 10TH
Morgan county, of which West Liberty is the
county seat, adjoins Montgomery county

Guilty, as that reported, occurred IN Morgan
county on the 9Th, it would have been known
it Mt. Sterling, in an adjoining county on the
9th. The Mt. Sterling Wing of the 10th has
not a word in relation to it. If the affair oc
Cured on the 9th probably not before the
middle of the day. the news could not have
reached Cynthiana on the morning Of the 10Th
for by any route that can be travelled, Gym
thiana must be at least one hundred and
twenty miles from West Liberty.
