Shocking Tragedy

ESPECIAL TO THE's SENTINEL
shocking Tragedy.
CINCINNATI, Dec. IA shocking tragedy
occurred this morning in the Court room
of Magistrate Cumming at 10 o'clock. The
case of Louis Keller was called. The fell
low was charged with having threatened to
murder Miss Kate Inner, who had been
engaged to marry him, until a quarrel
ended their courtship, when Keller COM
menced to make threats and complained OF
the young lady. She was on hand to pre-
fer the charge, and as her eyes met those of
her former lover, the latter, with q NUT
tered curse, drew q revolver and rushed
up at the woman. The court officials
scattered in every direction, with the ex-
ception OF Drumming, who pluckily sprang
between the pair, and called on Keller to
put up his weapon. The furious man
| paused a second and then pressing the point
of the pistol to his left breast, fired. The
| bullet penetrated his heart, and he dropped
| to the floor dead as a stone. Theiclothing
| of the suicide was ignited by the flash of
| the weapon and burned briskly, as the
! body lay there m~otionless, until it was ex-
| tinguished with a pitcher of water. Miss
| Inner exhibited no emotion. When the
| pistol wal first pointed at her, she neither
| screamed nor tainted and stood silently
watching three or foul men who picked
| up the smoldering remains of her former
| lover and laid them upon a table. She
| then walked from the courtroom without
| looking back.
Danger0use Strike.
SOUTH NoRwALK, Conn.,, Dec. 6.-The
| striking hatters situation to-day remains
| unchanged. The headers disclaim that the
men are bent on any breach of the peace
and will participate in one if possible to
avoid it, although they seem disposed to
| prevent. if possible, any hands from the
| outside towns taking their places. Sheriff
| Schurtz expresses himself confident OF
| maintaining order without the necessity
| of calling on the troops, as has been re-
| ported would be done. Gen. Smith OF the
National Guard and Col. Watson of the
| Fourth Regiment, have heard no appre-
hension that the militia will be called out
| and fear no trouble that will necessitate
| buCu hCttOns u ACPOAtOa To- -
| ter will visit the scene of the disturbance
| during the day. The streets are full Of
| idle men, and crowds are watching the
| trains for outside workmen, but as q gen.
| eral thing the men have been quite and
| orderly up to this writing.
