WAS BEATING BERRY WALL.
A sharp Champagne Agents Game at
Long Branch.

NEW York, July Co. Special Telegram
to THE BEE The upper crust circles Of
Long Branch are at loss justin to explain
the disappearance of two well-known figures
from the turf and beach Of that American
Ostend. One is dashlng young French
man, whose noble department and elegant
attire have won him the favor of the monde
at the Branch. The other IS Berry Wall, ex-
potentate of duded ome. The young French
man was known as M. le Marquis de St.
Marceaux. Among his female acquaintances
was Baroness de BLAME, q well-known turf
woman, with whom he was frequently seen
on the course Nine la baroness also knew
Berry Wall. A few days ago, while riding
with the noble foreigner, she met the ex-
king and graciously acknowledged his bow.
In reply to the lady's inquiry as to whether
he knew Wall, the Chevalier de St. Mar
ceaux responded:
"Certainly. we know Mr.. Wall. He is in
ny employ He is an agent for my wine."
The baroness seemed surprised, and the
chevalIer remarked laughingly: "He gets 25
cents for every champagne cork he sells"
Next morning when the baroness met
side and whispered with a peculiar smile
~ did not know you were a champagne
agent, Nj. Wall"
MIR. Wall soon afterward was hurrying to
the west End Motel, and inquired Tor the
marquis. When Mr.. Wall saw the noble
stranger he could not refrain from uttering
q cry of amazement. Suddenly he recovered
from his surprise and then he rushed toward
the man and exclaimed: "Mr. Lippe, how
dare you assume such role here and circu-
late such things about me2 am going to
wipe the floor with you"
"You don't understand your business"
answered the attacked nobleman calmly.
"Well, l am going to fix you," howled
Wall,' and he rushed toward the depot.
Both boarded the same train for New York
Half an hour later the two gentlemen were
seen struggling desperately in the hallway
Of the building JIM which the Office of the
United Growers company is located, and
where both Mr.. Wan and Mr.. Lippe are en-
ployed as agents for champagne brand.
Who got the best of it history will never
tell, but they resem b4ed the picture of Sulli-
van and Kirain after the Richburg fight
Lippe, when down at the beach having q
good time, had been ,masquerading as Mar
quis de ST. Marceapx, He has succeeded in
making scores Of People believe that the
wine he sold was from his own vineyard. 1t
is said on good authority that Berry Wall
has been employed spme time to ''push'' cer-
tam brands, and that his profits are large.
He receives 81 . case, besides an expense
allowance, and squatders it all IN high liv-
ing. ....>.

THE BEE. This morning about7 o'clock
the family of Frank Kos, living in the south
par of the city, were startled by hearing two
pistol stots fired in quick succession in an
upstairs bed room, Otto, the nineteen
year-old son, rushed to the room and
found his aged father sitting beside
the bed in pool Of blood with smoking
revolver in his hand. AS the son entered the
door the father pointed the revolver at him,
saying to leave HIM alone or he would kill
him. The boy had scarcely reached the foot
OF the stairs when ano ,her shot was heard,
which caused him to return regardless of
danger. The last shot entered the old gen
tlemans heart, which caused his death In
twenty minutes. Mr. Kos was eighty-two
years old and until lately had worked ut his
trade, painting, In the B. & M. shops. He
had been considered slightly demented for
several years, and about four years ago he
shot himself in the leg in an attempt at sui

gram to The BEE. Marshal Jarvis this
morning arrested Miss Nora Gilbert, a
handsome young girl of sixteen, in response
to a telegram from her father, citizen Of
St. Joseph. 1t seems that she came here at
the request of an attache of travelling pict-

days before he left St. Joseph. She accepted
q ticket from him and was infatuated with
his manner and supposed he had honorable
intentions. He met her at the train on ar

having failed in his scheme. She is now in
the custody of the jailors family, awaiting
the arrival of her father.

THE BREWERY SYNDICATE.
A Probability That the Omaha Con.
Germs win Pass Into Its Hands

American breweries are, it seems, re-
garded as good places to put English gold.
Several of the big eastern breweres sold
out. Only month ago the Denver brewer
les were absorbed. Kansas City was also
bought up, and now the representatives Of
this great syndicate are at work in ST. aul,
Omaha and other western cities, where large
brewing interests are located. Except that
which is feast expected interposes, the syn
dcate will own every one of the Omaha
breweries within month. The Rothschilds,
bankers Of London and Paris, are at the
head of the corporation which Is consoli-
dating the American brewing interests
under one head in the manner alluded to.
A reporter for The BEE called last night
at the residence of MIR. Fred Krug, the
owner OF the Krug brewery. His son
ness, responded to the ring at the door bell.
Mr.. krug said that for a month past repre-
sentative of the Rothschilds had kept at
them to sell their brewery. They were not
ready to sell. Their business was good and
future prospects were fattering. as
the matter had finally been
laid before them in such light that they
had agreed to name price at which the for
egn syndicate might have thirty days OPP
said, alluding to Storz & Her and Metz have
been approached in the same way and with
like results.
"To-morrow," he continued, 1--WE will meet
the RothGhilds' representative, and name a
price at which he can have a thirty day OPP
tion. l don't care TO give you the exact fig
ure we will demand, but we will ask be-
tween 100000 and S1,0O0,000. This
includes all our machinery, etc,
he entire business and the five
lots on which the brewery stands"
Mr.. King was 10th to speak regarding the
probability that his figures would be accepted
by the parties who are here to buy, but at
least declared that he really thought they
would be taken up. For the others he could
not speak, but believed that all would sell.
Mr.. King stated further that the agent,
Mr.. l.. j. Maloney, was registered at the
Murray from Kansas City, Mr.. Maloney
was found at the Murray-Mr. l.. j. Ma
loney, of Kansas City, according to ihe reg
ister-but he avoided answering any leading
questions by simply saying that he didn't
represent the Rothschilds, wasn't buying
any breweries, and knew nothin q about it.

THE cFFICEsEEKERs' RUSH.
Notwithstanding the fact that the hotels
seem to be free from outside visitors,
Secretary Window had scarcely taken his
seat at his desk this morning to resume
formal charge Of the duties of the treasury
department when he was met by forty or
fifty eager applicants for places or the
friends Of applicants who came to urge their
claims. The secretary was compelled to re-
treat into his private office and to hear the
delegations IN squads OF two or three at a
time. There were colored republicans from
South Carolina, white republicans from
Tennessee and. mixed republicans from
other states of the south. The
southern men seem to be more
persistent IN their eH0rtS 10 got places now
than those from any other section, and the
secretary OF the treasury is beseged as
eagerly as the postmaster general. These two
members Of the cabinet are bearing the
brunt Of the work just at this time because
they have more patronage at their disposal
than any of the others, although Secretary
Noble has his full share of callers who are
pressing the clair.s of various applicants for
office. The state department corridors were
quite deserted to-day, and the absence Of the
attorney general gave the conductor of the
elevator in the department of justice build
ing brief rest. He said that he had not
taken up solitary outsider, except two or
three lawyers who called to look after busi-
ness before the department
PHELPS IN NO HURRY.
Some inquiry has been heard as to the
probabilities of Minister Phelps assumption
of the duties of of his new position, because
that gentleman has not shown any dispos-
tlon to start for Berlin. At the state depart
ment to-dayit was said that there is no i'm
mediate necessity for Mr.. Phelps presence
in the German capital, and Mr.. Walker
Blaine expressed the opinion that the new
minister would not sail until the first week
in September One Of the reasons which
probably actuates Mr.. Phelps IN delaying his
departure is the fact that it is reported here
that every berth has been engaged upon the
French and German lines of steamers during

The stock dealers have nothing at stake, and
as rule are Indifferent in regard to the
matter. 1t is the packers who oppose It, and
for this reason: They have bought Texas

they naturally feel Incensed at being unable
to get their purchase into the state.
