Murder in Dubuque.


A bloody tragedy occurred in Du-
buque on Wednesday evening, which
resulted in the instant death of frank
Rhomberg, saloon keeper, by a shot
from a gun in the hands of Charles
Wagner, wood carver. The ac-
counts of the murder, given in the
Dubuque papers of yesterday morn
ing, state that Wagner about 5
o'clock on Wednesday evening bor-
rowed a double-barrelled fowling
piece from V. Duttle, baker and
brother-in-law of the murdered man,
which he loaded heavily with duck
shot. He then proceeded to the sa-
loon of Rhomberg, on the corner Of
Clay and Eighth streets, and, placing
himself outside a window, near the
bar behind which his victim was
standing conversing with couple OF
friends, took deliberate aim through
the window and fired. The heavy
charge took effect in the left side OF
Rhomberg's face and neck, cutting
the jugular vein, from which he bled
to death in few minutes. After the
commission of the crime, Wagner,
the fatal weapon still in his hands,
proceeded to the Jail and, giving him.
self up to Deputy Sheriff Salot, was
placed in confinement.
This fearful tragedy is the sequel
of scandal, in which Romberg fig.
ures as the seducer Of Wagner's
wife. The case was in the courts,
Rhomberg being under bonds to ap.
pear at court to answer the charge OF
adultery, preferred by Wagner. The
immediate cause of the bloody deed,
as stated by the murderer, was the
taunts of Rhomberg's friends that
he Rhomberg) would not be found
guilty of adultery on the trial of his
case; that Rhomberg's influential
friends and his money would secure
his acquittal Or, beaten in one court,
the case would be taken to others out
of Wagner's reach,
Wagner shows no signs OF COM
junction for the murder. declaring
to the Times reporter, who inter
viewed him in Jail, that he felt that
he had done right; that he meant to
kill Rhomberg, and was glad that he
did it. Wagner is German, about
80 years of age. He has resided III
Dubuque about eleven years, and
was married about four years ago
His wife is in Missouri, whittier he
sent her after the discovery Of hel
relations with Rhomberg. His vic
tim was quiet man, well liked, and
had rich and influential relatives in
Dubuque.

It strikes us that the standard OF

it is quite likely that the North would
submit to that kind of ''revenge'

AS evidence of the influence of the
liquor interest in giving Ohio to the
Democrats at the late election, it is
stated that in Cleveland, out of Lilo
saloons 1000 gave their aid land votes
to the Democratic candidates, and
the Saloon Association voted $4,000
to help the Democrats. All over the
State the Republican candidates met
the opposition of the free liquor inter.
est, particular of the anti-prohibition
Republicans. An effort is being
made to attach significance to the
election in Ohio and Indiana, as indi
eating the popular demand for the in
flation of the currency, but itappears
that the cause is one even dearer to
the Democratic heart than cheap
money, and that is free whiskey.

The New York Herald thus COM
ments on the late elections in OHIO
and Indiana. We commend it's opin-
ion to the notice of our Anti-Nonop
friends who are sure that there will
be three tickets in the field at the
next Presidential election
1t is not triumph of the farmers
movement, which at one time seem
ed formidable in the West; it is a
Democratic triumph pure and simple
and it warrants the expectation that
the minor side currents of our poll
tics will be absorbed in one or the
other of the two main streams. Ac-
cording to present appearance, every
thing is tending to a grand struggle
in the next Presidential election be-
tween the two regular parties, with
no side movements Of any impor-
lance.

The Treason and it, Excuse.

The responsibility for the election
of Democrat to Congress in this
District, over Republican SO able
and in every way worthy and accept
able as Judge Granger, will ultimate
ly rest with crushing weight upon
the men through whose agency it
was accomplished. If there be trait
ors in our own camp, as seems to be
pretty well established, it is well that
they be brought to light now, SO that
the party may know where to place
the brand, and where to guard
against treason hereafter. Confirm.
atory of reports from other sources,
we give the following from the Du
buque correspondence of the Ana
mosa Journal Dem.):
The election of L. L. Ainsworth in
this District to Congress is consid
cred great triumph. he being the
only Democrat thus elected from the
State of Iowa for nearly quarter OF
a century, and yet it must not be con
sidesed as the result of change OF
opinion on the part of any large
number of our people on questions Of
principle which may divide the par
ties, but simply determination on
the part of Senator Cooley's friends
to show the "Allison ring" that
treachery and bad faith, though sue
cessful in caucus, cannot win at tho
polls. 1t is not known how Cooley
himself voted, but it is known to bt
fact that large numbers of his
friends either openly or quietly voted
for Hon. L. L. Ainsworth, and thus
secured his election. The above is &
true statement Of the case as il
stands.

From the Danbury News Budset.
In dlngy room sat an old man
writing with Roman nose aud tall
hat. Not far from him, q broken-back
chair supported his daughter with
rickety legs aud cracked rungs. In
the same identical roou was an old
woman blowing the flre with lean
cat under an old stove being the wife
Of the old man writing with Roman
nose. In corner might be seen a
hungry boy eating onions with bow
legs aud red hair from table which
he swallowed without chewing. The
whole scene was overlooked by an old
clock ornamented with Pocahontas
saving John Smith with three legs
covered with cobwebs aud wound up
every eighth day by the old man with
n brass key. Ever aud anon the door
was ratified by a cold dog without any
hinges nor knob. Through tho broken
window might he seen woman cut
ting cabbages with baby on her arm
through the shattered panes OF which
daylight feeb'y shone. Another win
dow looked out upon the street where
stood little man wiping the sweat
from his face with hand organ, car
rying a monkey on top, by grinding
which he had tried Ia vain TO get
few cents from the old man writing
with tall hat. Such were the lodg-
ings OF the mlser being the old man
