STABBED.
MORTAL WOUNDING OF ROBERT
BRIBACH.
PARTICULARS OF THE TRAGEDY.

The city was startled last night by the
report that Robert Bribach, a well-known
citizen, had been killed in q personal rem
contrc, in the saloon Of the city brewery,
with n stranger by the name of George
Moser.
The particulars of the tragedy were sub
stantially as follows:
Moser was in the saloon when Brbach
entered and was talking to some person
about playing cards. After listening for
few moments, Bribach get into the con-
versation and challenged Mosser to play
for wager. Moser accepted the chal-
lenge, but after he was seated said he
would not play for money but would let
the result of the game decide which should
buy the beer fer the company. Bribach
took offence at this conduct, and began
to use toward Moser decidedly uncompli-
mentary language, and would have struck
him if the bystanders had not interfered.
After the excitement had cooled down,
Bribach invited Moser to drink glass of
beer with him, and the invitation was ac-
copied. While the company were stand
ing at the bar Moser said to Brbach "You
can say what you please to me- but it would
not have been well with you if you had
struck me; you would have been dead
man." This remark seemed to frenzy
Bribach, who Immediately threw off his
coat and struck Moser three or four times
"If you strike me again will stab you,
cried Moser. Bribach did strike again
| and sprang toward Mossr, who made good
his threat by stabbing his assailant under
the left arm, sevsring an artery. As
Moser was in the act Of striking another
blow with his knife, Mr.. Swanitz caught
him around the arms. Bribach sank down
on the floor and feebly said; II am stab
bed; help me-" Moser Immediately lef,
the saloon and went in search Of DIR
Wadgymar, and finding him said: "Com,
quick, doctor; / have stabbed q man a,
tho brewery" And he returned to the
scene of the tragedy with the doctor, where
he was arrested by constable Weldon, who
lodged him in the comfy Jail. DR.. Wad.
gymar could do nothing for the unfortu.
nate Bribach, who died within an hour af.
ter he was wounded. The ARRAY occurred
at 10 minutes before 9 o'clock. Coroner
Gossman summoned q jury and held an
inquisition on the body. The verdict was
we are informed, in accordance with the
above facts.

he met was Rev. w. A. Bryson then at
81. Louis on business. The Captain know
ing that Methodist preachers were well

Bryson should go to the convention and
represent upon the floor the interests of
Cairo. The Captain told him what to

A LIE OF THE RADICALS RE.

MARTINS ASSESSMENT IN TOWN
AND COUNTRY.
FIGURES THAT TELL THE TRUTH

The radicals of Cairo, in order TO secure
the votes of citizens of Cairo in opposi-
ten to William Martin, the democratic
candidate for the county treasurer and as
SCISSOR, have been asserting that he
has Disseminated in his assessments
against the city and in favor of the coun-
try. This is falshood manufactured out
of whole cloth. There is not semblance
of the truth in it, As the figures given be-
low will prove. The following table
shows tho reduction in the assessments of
personal property, and towns lots in Cairo,
and the increase on lands during Mr.
Martins term Of oiice-ls70-7l:

THR Roman question IN the French
Assembly is becoming interesting. The
attitude of President Theirs surprises no
one, as we remember that all his el)
quence was used, in 1846, TO secure the
intervention OF the then Republic, but
Theirs evidently does not mean action
Just now; he simply seeks to tickle the
religious element, and keep them on his
hands. But Gambetts, as an advocate
for the Holy Father, is quite revelation,
which we are at a loss TO explain, unless
we suppose that q war with Italy is popu-
lar, and just the thing for reckless
politician TO smile on. Since the
memorial that we noticed last
week, petition for protest
against the Roman occupation, has been
received by the Assembly from the
Archbishop of Algiers. All the deputies
from ancient Brittany, now comprising
several departments, have laid before tae
bureau in their own names, an address TO
the same effect. At the last mail &C
counts, their example was being initiated
by the several other departments. The
Assembly has thus been compelled 10
discuss the matter, however unwillingly,
and however untimely it may seem to
every one outside of France.
