"a family quarrel, that bears a strik-
ing resemblance to the late Wilder
tragedy, eliminated last evening at the
residence of the parties, No. 1856 Clark
street, in the stabbiDg of wife by her
husband, in such a manner that it may
result in her death
The parties in this case are Conrad
Keck, a German, about 40 years of age,
and his wife Caroline. They have lived
together about five years, and during
that time it is claimed that the wife,
who, by the practice of her profession
that ola midwife-has amassed quite
a snug fortune, and has supported the
family. .-'t ~

bears, was aMr. Henry Probst BY
him she had two daughters, who are
now married. BY her last husband

The family, Including the married
whose names are, respective.
Iy Augusta Eckert and Josephine Volz-
man, reside together in the same house
on Clark street. According. to Keck's
statement, the daughters seem to be
troubled by the thought that, in case Of
the death OF Mrs. Probst, he (Keck)
win inherit her property, and this is
one cause of the ill-feeling between
himself and the rest of the family.
Keck is a drinking man, and, it is
said, on previous occasions has threat
ened violence, and did attempt, once.
to burn his bed up, for which little d.
vertisement he has been restricted in
his sleeping accommodations ever since
Yesterday morning about | O'Clock
he came home, and, on going up TO bic
room, declared there was not sufficient
covering on his bed, and proceeded to
some by cutting up his bed

ever, by the entrance Of his wife and
her daughter Augusta, who, it is said
Keck took the pock-
ct knife (the one nc was usiug), with
curved blade about three inches long,
aud made a lunge with it at his wife,
the blade penetrating about an inch and
a half into the abdomen under the left
