HAVAElAN BLOOD.
1t BOilS Over with Jealousy and
Causes a MurderOuS
Assault.
A Girl aud Her Lover Both In
jured, and the Assailant
Lodged in Jail.

Sheriff Hamilton, Of Carroll county,
yesterday brought q prisoner to this
city, named Sebastian Meyer, and
lodged him In the county jail to await
trial on q charge of assault with intent
to commit murder. 1t seems that
Meyer came to this country from his
native Bavaria about three months
ago. On board the same ship was q
young girl, who was coming here with
her mother, her passage money having
been advanced by young man named
Baker, living In Carroll county, and
who had been over here a year or
more. This young man was the be.
trothed lover OF the girl, but on the
voyage the prisoner, Meyer, fell des.
perately In love with her. After
reaching here Meyer stood but little
show, the betrothed lover naturally
claiming the girls time and company.
Meyer and Baker had q little ROY
over the girl q few weeks ago, the for.
mer insisting on taking her to tho
dance, while her betrothed objected.
A..week ago yesterday Meyer was In
this city, and left on the evening train
for Carroll. 1t seems that he pro-
ceeded directly to the girls house, ar
riving there In the evening, and SEE
ing a horse and buggy standing out
side, naturally concluded the lover
was Inside the house with the girl.
Pulling off his boots and srming him.
self with a whifl etree, he stole quietly
into the house ~sndreaohed unobserved
the happy pair, who were standing
talking In the hallway In the dark.
He called the girl by name, asking II
1t was she, and on receiving an afirma-
tive answer, struck at her with the
whIfi etree. The blow, instead
of falling On her head,
glanced and struck her shoulder,
causing . very severe wound and
bruise. He then struck her young
lover soross the head with the same
weapon, causing a bloody wound,
tearing the scalp for several inches,
but not fracturing the skull. After
the young man fell he pounded and
Kicked him, causing other injuries.
He then skipped out. The affair wa,
kept quiet until Tuesday night when
1t was thought that the wounded mar
was dying, and q physician was sem
for. Sheriff Hamilton started In searol
of the jealous assailant and succeeded
In finding and srresting him. 1t Il
claimed that Meyer has served n O
more terms In the old country ant
that on account of another scrap,
there he left for this country, ant
that he Is In general "a bad one.
He admitted heing at the house ant
having q whlm etree In his hand, Blu
says that he took it because he wa
afraid of the dog, and wanted to de
fend himself II that animal pitched

The Nay 0r,a.

The Nashville drill has proved as
great success as was anticipated.
Infantry companies, batteries and
brass bands from all parts of the
Union have participated in the con-
tests. A representative of the
CHRONICLE visited the city We'd
nesday. When he arrived at IL, a.
m., the grand parade had just taken
place and the streets were densely
packed with living mass of peo-
pie. Locomotion was difficult
among the great throng and hotels
and restaurants were so crowded
that it was almost impossible to get
accommodations. The numerous
visitors embraced people from ali
over the State and many of the adj
joining States were largely repre-
scented.
The drill took place at the Fair
Grounds, which is about two and
half miles from the square. The
contest begun wednesday afternoon
and has continued during Thursday
and Friday. The following is the
names of the competing infantry
companies in the order in which
they drilled: Company C, Third
regiment Missouri National Guards.
Company B, Illinois National
Guards, Collierville Guards, Nor
gan Cadets, Lawrence Light In
fantry, Detroit City Grays, Mobile
Rifles, Company F, Fourth regi-

Savannah Cadets, Governors

The CHRONICLE man only saw
one company drill, the Busch
Zouaves, from st. Louis. So far as
he was capable of judging this was
very finely executed.
The city was very gaily decorated
and in its festoons of evergreens and
profusion of bunting presented a
very handsome appearance. The
