yOuxa MANS CLOTHES COVERED WITH
BLOOD FOUND ~ A LONELY STREET.
ST. PAUL, January 2.--Onc Of the io,ilest
and most mysterious OF crimes occurred In
st. Paul last night, Richard A.. Pierce,
son OF s. J.. Pierce, the wel-lNnown st.
Paul attorney, being the victim. Yester-
day afternoon young Pierce went to
Minneapolis TO sec about q position
IN. wholesale store which he was
expecting to secure. IL was bis nten-
ton TO return to st. Paul on late train,
but when he did return II not known.
This morning I'm overcoat, coat, collar,
crayat, handkerchief, shirt-s,ecve, and
pocket-knife were found near ElevatorA,
at the foot Of Seeter street, on the railroad
track. The coat-sleeye was nearly torn
of. and the other evidences around iudi-
Gated terrible struggle, which undoubt-
cdly ended. In his death and the conceal
ment OF his body by throwing IL into the
river. 1t is supposed that Pierce
left the train at Eagle street,
switch station in lonely and dis
above the place where the struggle
occurred. How he WAS got where he
was Is n mystery, as his home lay the other
the vicinity, and it may be possible that he
was waylaid above aud taken to the mouth
OF the sewer and thrown in. Pierce and
perhaps all who were engaged In this deed
were there, rs the snow was covered with
blood within two feet OF the man-hole
caused by the sewer flow; hut Ii his
body had been thrown in, or II
he had gone down the bank to wash
his own wounds, and tainted at the brink
and tunbled in himself, 10 marks OF
broken ice were left. The clothes that
were foxnd indicate that in the struggle
he received three wounds-one in the
back. about three inches below the neck,
one in the arm, and one in the throat. the
latter being the one which proved fatal, II
any. THIS cut was made by sharp knife,
as it cut the collar and crayat in two, and
was probably cut from the left side and
into the jugular-yein. The collar was
saturated with blood. and was in the Vi
cinity Of the rest OF the clothing found.
The fact that his own knife was open and
covered with blood shows that lie made q
desperate defence. The left sleeve OF his
coat was torn nearly Off, but the cut in his
arm was made after it had been taken from
his body. One sleeve OF his shirt was found
covered with blood, but whether it was torn
of in the struggle or whether he himself
tore 1t of to stop up the wounds will
probably ever remain a mystery. There
Is not the smallest cluc TO the body or
TO the murderers. Some believe that he
may yet he found alive; that after the
struggle he went to the house Of friend,
so as not to disturb his own family; but
all the houses TO which he would be likely
to 90 have been visited without finding
him, and his friends have given up all hope
Of ever seeing him again alive. The police
are vigilantiy following the singular and
battling traces Of the mysterious crime that
exist.

Gambcftn's Mystery.
THE FATAL SHOT FIRED by A wONAN-AN
STARRED LOVE MATCH.

STARRED LOVE MATCH.
A special dispatch from Paris to the New
York Times gives the circumstances Of the
death OF Gambetta, in which the mystery
OF the 1istol-wound in the hand and wrist
the primary cause Of DEATHS thus solved ::
"Throughout his illness his friends have
sought to conceal the gravity OF the sitla-
ton, and, above all, the agency NJ a woman
in the tragedy. Nevertheless. no doubt il
permissible that the shot which, directly or
Indirectly, caused his death was fred by =
lady who is well known In Paris. and whose
pseudonym, Leonie Leon, conccals the pa
tronyinic OF one OF the most honorable Is
raelitish fenilies OF Bordeaux. She left
her husband, the Conseillcr-Geucral Of the
Gironde Department. TO follow the for
tunes OF him by whose cloqueEce in
the Bludn subscription and trial
she was completely fascinated, and uniting
with him in 1868 she deserted her family.
Their connection has lasted ever since. He
was impatient Of the chain he could not
break. especially AS u cnid was born the sue
cecding year, whose paternity he refused to
acknowledge. These rcIusals caused scenes
OF rccrimination and often Of positive yio-
lcnce between the lovers. The man wcaried
yotedly 10 him for whom she had sacrificed
her honor. Gambctta disliked the child, who
Was sickly. but INTELLIGENT, and.lycd ~ his
nephew. He resembled Ganbctia in char
acfcr and features. Two Years ago Leonie's
husband died, and she summoned Gam

but finally consented, and accompanied the
child and his father 10 Dresden. This was
the journey 80 much commented upon last
year 10y the European press, which ascTibcd
Leon Massabie et q dame nj the German
hotels. The connection was continued
after their return, LeOnie going every
Saturday evening TO his villa, where she
was accepted as mistress by the servants,
and returning Monday morning in his
carriage. Their quarrcls also continued.
Within week three discharged domesiics
revealed the mysteries Of the ii-starrcd
establishment. Finally the dlsscnsions
eliminated in the scene OF the I'M
happy pstol-shot. Gambctta lost his
temper, giving vent TO abuse and
coarse language, such as he was wont to
employ in moments OF passion. He was
exaspcrlted, seized a revolver, and fired.
lie raised his had TO turn aside the
weapon and received his death wound.
Everything else is conjecture. None but
they know the truth, and Gambetta died,
yet made no sign. / can veuch for the
authenticity OF this version OF the unhappy
story, and l assume the entire response

may be from the others which may obtain

Us. Jesse Slingufr and others, deyisees and
leeatees under the will ~ Charles ID. Sling
lnll, were heard In the Circuit Court yes
terday before Judge Duffy. The suits
were brought to obtain the estates OF Mrs.
Ella Siinguf, wife OF Fielder C..Singluff,
Mr.. Slingluff having taken out letters Of
administration in April, 1870, on the
supposition that there was no will,
and afterward, the will having been
found in February, 1882, letters were
granted TO the complainant. The bal
ance OF the estate shown by an admins
fration account settled by Mr.. Slingluif in
September, 1870, was over $4,000, large
part OF which ne appropriated toward CON-
pleting the binding OF Il house which had
leen begun in the lifetime OF his wife. The
controversy in the case is as 10 the right OF
Mr. slingluff to have used the money in
completing the house, which he turned
over to Mrs. Sewell when she administer

George l.. Waters. the colored janitor OF
the City Hall, related an incident to-day TO
Nail reporter concerning big poker
game in which Senator John y. Jones, OF
Nevada, was player. Waters had been in
the employ OF certain congressman around
the Capitol at Washington for many years,
and his statement may be accepted as true.
It was several years ago, before the Million
aire had become thoroughly posted in the
ways OF Washington society. Almost be-
fore he had comfortably settled in his seat
in the Senate he was introduced into the
District Club, OF which Boss Shepherd
was . prominent member. Poker at that
time was the prominent recreation OF the
Club. and Jones was induced to take
hand. Although a,gOOd player, he retired
from the game loser to the amount OF
$4,000. The Senator, having few silver
mines at bis back for probationary, was
game, aud did not allow the least eXIscs-
sion OF chagrin or dis,rust 10 escape BIN.
The next morning he tclegrIphed to ono
OF the most expert card-sharps in Nir-
ginia CITY. EIGHT days aiterwafd the
gambler arrived in Washington, dressed
IN a very expensive suit Of clothes aud
sporting y sraall fortune in the way Of dia-
monds. jones introduced him TO tie Club
as a mining millionaire from Nevada, and
the star-r0utc frauds and uayy-yard thieves
Immediately made arrangements to pluck
him. lie accepted an Invitation 10 play.
The stakes ran high, and the spurious mil
lionmrc was well supplied with Jones's
money. At ilc end OF the tournG,rcnt n
stranger rose from the table the winner OF
$500. 600 OF thc Club. II was a severe blow
TO the fingsters. but they made the people
OF the United States pay it back 10 them
indirectly and in short order. Jones d.
yided The swag with his friend and never
set foot IN the club-roOms again.
