SPIERLING FOUND.
Hoboken Wife Murderer
Lies in New York's
Potter's Field.
SOLVED BY a VISITING CARD
Complete Identif cation Of His
Glothing-Found Drowned in

Word was received. at Hoboken Police
of Christopher Spierling. the German
who murdered his wife in their cozy
apartments at No. 224 Madison street,
Hoboken, on the morning of February
IS last, was found floating in the East
River. off Nineteenth street, New York,
on April Is, and subsequently buried
in New York's Potter's Field.
At the time the body was found 1t
was in such a badly decomposed state
that it was beyond identification. The
Coroner's assistant, who inspected the
remains, said it must have been in the
water about six weeks. All the clothing
of the dead man was preserved. and 1t
was these garments which led to the
Identification of Spierling

At the time the body was found the

The authorities went to .Allermann
with the card and clothing, but he knew
nothing of the man and said he had
never seen him. Sometime afterwards.
Allermann called upon a young lady in
Hoboken and during the evening men,
toned the fact that one of his cards had
been found upon the body of man
who was found in the East River. The
young lady told him that she had given
one of his cards to spierling, the wife
murderer.

WHERE Is KLAPPERSTUCK2
Missing From FE ofle and is Supposed
SO be in Europe

About seven years ago Christopher
Schlemmer owned a saloon at No. 131
Washington street, Hoboken. A few
doors below was another saloon owned
by Albert Klapperstuck. Klapperstuck
and Mrs. Schlemner became very inti-
mate. One DAY during Schlemmer's alb
senee his wife closed up the saloon,
converted everything into money and
eloped with Klaperstuck, who had sold
his saloon a few days previous. The
clipping couple went to Newburgh, NY,
and opened a road house. Shortly after
they had got started, Mrs. schlemmer's
two daughters joined them.
schlemmer remained behind in Hobo
ken and made no effort to find mis-
runaway spouse.
He secured employment as watch
man in the Delaware, Lackawana and
Western Railroad yards and couple of
years ago married again. He is now lv-
ing with his second wife at third street
and Willow avenue, Hoboken.
A few months ago Klapperstuek sold
the Newburg business for 5000 and with
business with Henry Fisher. former pro-
prietor of the Continental Hotel, Hobo
ken, in the manufacture of a patent
covering for steam pipes. He and Mr..
Fisher went to Washington.
At that city, on June 9Th, they parted
Kfapperstuck saying he was going to
mer Mrs Schlemmer, received a letter
from him dated Baltimore June 10TH"
That is the last she or any one else in
HoboSen has seen or heard of him.
It is thought by many that xlapper-
stuck has gone to Europe with William
Diehm, a cripple, who used to live at the
Hansa Hotel.
Diehm sailed for Europe on the steam
or Weisland OF the Red Star Line last
Wednesday, and it is supposed klap-
sumed name
Mrs Klapperstuck, or Schlemmer
however, says that her husband always
acted like a crazy man when he had
money and she thinks he is only on a
spree and will return
Mr.. Fisher is very much put out as
his patent is already only waiting the

In an article on rose-growing, writer
in the Boston Transcript says: The most
curious accidental change en- record is
that of row of half-double, old-fash-

of neither doing well, and many abso-

soil and good cultivation by sending forth
large. full, very double roses, but only
one bud on each long stem and of a very
delicate shade of pink, and, stnangest of
all, the wonder of wonders, they were

double to double; from the habit of old

sultry and hazy and the crew did not do
much work.
