The Murder OF an Austrian COuut-A
Curious History.


The body which was discovered on Sunday
last, floating Ia the water near the Elysian
Fieds, with knife plunged in the heart. has at
last been id, ntided as that Of Frederick Wes-
ser. an Austrian nobleman. The face was re-
cognized last evening by Mr.. August S,hmeditz.
formerly the proprietor OF ST. Georges Hotel,
at the corner of Third and Hudson streets,
Hoboken. That gentleman, in company
with q reporter. visited the Office OF the
undertaken, Mr.. Parslow, where the body has
been kept since its discovery, last evening.
From the description which Mr.. SchmeditZ saw
in the newspapers, he surmised that the corpse
was that of his former friend, and upon seeing
the face he positively identified the features as
those of Count Wesser. The recognition OF the
face and the development OF the lacts which
were related by5 Mr.. Scbmeditz will, without
doubt, furnish satisfactory clue 10 the muir
derer. Wesser cane 10 this country in 1866
fIom Austria, where he belonged to one OF the
nobest and poorest families OF the country
to which he belonged. He had led life OF
dissipation and recklesssess at home, and came
to this country it is said, to escape the con;
acts. When he landed he was penniless, and
| being wholly untitled for physical or mental
labor. he was, during his residence here, the
J He found friend in Schmeditz, and was offered
situation by the latter in his hotel. He ac-
copied the offer, and Tor nearly a year acted in
the capacity Of clerk and bartender in st.
| Georges Hotel While residing there he be-
came acquainted with German citizen of
Hudson City, and frequently visited at his
| house. He is said TO have become intimate
| with the lady OF the house, and a desperate
| conflict took place at last between Wesser aud
the husband of the lady; but although the latter
was severely hurt no serious consequence re-
| suited, other than deadly enmity between
| the two men. The husband and wife
soon separated, and Wesser subsequently mar
| rled the woman, living with her until Friday
morning last. Her residence was not kuOwn
| by Mr.. Schmeditz. but he remem bered fully the
ciTcumstaDces,of Wessers acquaintance With her,
as they we're told him by the latter. The hotel
in which Wesser had been employed was sold a
few weeks ago, and since that time he had been
out of employ yment On Friday he was seen in
Hoboken, and stated In reply TO inquiries that
he was going to New York to obtain a situation
in an express office. After that time he was
seen no more until his body was found in the
Ely sian Fields.--N Y. Tribune OF This moraiaq.

Something About that 300, 900 Fortune in

The Davenport Democrat save, 1--WE don't

the sensation OF Davenport lady falling
heir to a 100000 fortune but then we sup
pose it is a way the papers down in that
semi civilized country have Of doing things
Here ia the article:
"A lady in Davenport, Iowa. has suddenly
discovered that She is one Of the heirs of
some large laudhU,der who died in Texas
years ago, and she becomes the owner in an
interest worth only one hundred thousand
dollars. She has placed the case in the
hands Of lawyers who are going to work to
obtain her Inheritance. There is one ad-
vantage the case possesses over the great
land stealing case reported t ON Missouri
recently, and that is that the land in which
she claims an interest is still at the same
place, where John McMullen mot MulleusI
obtained the grant therefor. Il lies between

The land was located upon and divided up
by surveys in 1888, and has been in htiga

of this inheritance would do well to consult
some others than the lawyers of Davenport
