ment but he desired to put in the same exceptions

A Murderer Arrested.

ST. LOUIS, MBy 9.-The man who 20
atrociously murdered Mrs Christine
Peters, near Centerville, April 2lst, was
captured to-day twenty miles below
Potosi, Washington county, Missouri
brought to this city and taken TO Belle,
vile, Illinois, this afternoon, by Sheriff
Hughes, OF st. Clair county. A con
siderable crowd gathered at the depot
in East st. Louis, when he was being
put on the train, and fears were ex-
pressed that he would be lynched. BE
admits having attempted to violate Mrs.
Peters, but denies that he killed her.
A finger ring belonging to Mrs. Peters
and the clothes OF her husband, which
were stolen at the time OF the murder,
were found on him. He gave his name
at that Of White, which is evidently an
assumed one.

Communist Troops DemOralixed-
Dissenstons i'm the Commune.

PARIS, May l0-The fall Of Fort
D'Issy has caused panic in Communist
circles. The Federalists regarded it as
one OF the most powerful auxilaries, and
its capture by the Versailhsts is consid-
cred ominous. The troops are greatly
disheartened and demoralized by recent
events. They have lost faith and hope.
They are openly and fearlessly regard
less of orders. They have but little
confidence in their leaders. A few, off :.
GERS retain their influence and enjoy the
confidence Of their men.
Feuds are increasing in the Commune.
General Rossel and the committee of
Public Safety are at variance with
reference to certain points Of military
policy, in which the General is firm.
Differences have also arisen among
members individually, and it is not
improbable that their frequent discus
sions may lead to an entire..dissolution
of the Commune.

THE PRIZE RING.
The COburn.Mace FIght-Mace the
FavOrite In the Pool Selling.

FOOI SeIiIuSs
New YORK, May l0.-As the time
draws near for the long talked of fight
between Mace and Co5urn, which is ex-
pected to take place tomorrow, the ex-
citement among the friends Of the pugi-
lists, and sportsmenin general increases.
1t was the all obsorbing topic Of COZ
versation last night at headquarters OF
the fraternity aud many conjectures
were advanced respecting the field of
contest. An enormous amount Of pas
sage tickets to the field of battle have
already been sold; many of the sports
have already left the city, but a major
ity of them will leave by the afternoon
trains to-day. Betting sill continues in
favor OF Mace, although Coburn has
many heavy hackers who willingly
stake money on him. At the pool selling
last night, betting men were rather shy
and but little business was done. In
one pool sold Coburn brought fourteen
dollars and Mace twenty-five; in another
Coburn stock was little better, bringing
twenty-one dollars while Mace brought
twenty-six. The result of the fight is
anxiously waited for by the sporting
fraternity generally.
ERIE, Pa, May l0-The excitement
over the coming fight is increasing.
The crowd Of visitors has grown con-
tinually, till it has reached an unpre-
cedented number New York being
largely represented. The trains are
loaded with the friends Of both parties.
Mace and his trainer arrived here this
morning in a special sleeping car, on the
Pennsylvania railroad and took rooms
at the Reed House. He is in the best
of trim and excellent physical spirit and
condition. Jim Cusick guards him
faithfully, and is bound to see him
through without any misses on his
part.
Ceburn came in this afternoon from
the Northeast, where he has been in
training for the past few days, with
Mcintyre and McManus. He is also in
good spirits and unusually fine condi-
ton considering his accustomed care
lessness. The Mace party seem to be
the strongest in number, but they are
outdone by Coburn's friends in busi-
ness point Of view. The betting is
about even, although anything on Mace
finds easy takers among the Coburnltes
The two parties left here on special
steamers chartered from the Fisk-Gould
line, after manifestations of the greatest
enthusiasm. Several tugs had been
chartered bv the citizens and others,
but could not obtain clearances and
were warned not to leave the harbor,
under the severest penalty. The exact
point where the fight will take place is
not definitely known, although there is
a rumor that the steamers will put in
at Port Dover, and from there the party
will proceed to convenient and se-
cluded location. Every one connected
with the affair has so far observed
guarded silence and but little is known
concerning either party.
The Buffalo papers are very severe
upon the authorities for not interfering,
publishing the laws OF the State, which
definitely forbid the setting on foot, in
stigating or encouraging Of any such
performance, and call upon the Cana
dian police to interfere and prevent q
landing on Dominion soil. o.
