Herkowitz was discharged from the Au
burn prison a week»ago last Wednesday.
He had served a year and a half for assault- !
ing • Policeman Granger of the Eleventh ',
Precinct. When he returned from prison
he learned that his wife was living with
friends at 74 Johnson avenue. He called
on her there L,- Sunday, but was not re
ceived cordially, and when he proposed to
his wife that he would rent a dat, he was
surprised to find that all her love for him i
bad gone, and that she had resolved that ;
she would never live with him again. The
man pressed his suit, but made no favor
able impression on his wife. Then he be
came angry and abusive.
He left the house in a rage, after saying
he would be back for a final answer to-day.
•Herkowitz reached the house at 9:30
o'clock this morning. His wife received
him in a room on the second floor. They
' ■were in the room alone for less than five
minutes when piercing screams were
heard. Then the man ran out. His throat
was cut and blood gushed from the wound.
He carried in his hand a table-knife, the

says, her husband approached her and
suddenly raised his arm and made a lunge

Is Growing to Be Over
". whelming.
OMAHA, Nebr., July s.— The body of
John Seijan, the murdered Pole, was foand
floating in the Missouri River to-night at
Vesta Springs, ten miles south of Omaha
and near South Omaha.
The body presented an awful and repul
sive appearance. The top of the head was
crushed in. the face was terribly bruised
and a deep gash six inches long was found
in the throat. The body had no coat, Test
or suspenders, all of which articles were
found in the fatal room on the river bank
near the house.
The body was taken in charge by an un
dertaking establishment at South Omaha,
under the direction of the Coroner. De
tectives and friends of Seijan went to
South Omaha to-night and fuily identiried
the body. Very little progress was made
to-day in the further detection of the crim
inals. The detectives are satisfied that
they have all the parties who committed
. the crime in the jail and claim that the ;
evidence implicating Anton Buckovitz is
growing to be indisputable and over- j

Mrs. Emma Thomas of Paulding came to
■gcott yesterday to join in the celebration
that was being held. She went to a Bowery
dance and began dancing with Will Miller

to-night under the auspices of the Ken
tucky Cbautauqua Assembly. Superin

SUICIDE OF THE CARRES
Additional Details of the
Double Tragedy in
Paris.
At the Last Moment the 'Loving
Wife Repented of Her Hus
band's Act.
>'ew Yobs. V. V., July s.— Farther de
tails of the double suicide in Paris of Eu
gene Carre, the well-known and highly
esteemed barrister, and bis wife show it to
have been a tragedy of unusually dramatic
character. Carre blew out his brains with
a revolver, and ilme. Carre, snatching the
weapon from his hand before he had fallen
to the door, followed his example. The
tragedy took place in Carre's magnificent
apartments in the Faubourg St. Honore
about 4 o'clock Monday afternoon. Carre
had returned home from the Palais de
Justice and was working in his office when
his wife entered after receiving visitors.
The last person with whom she had con
versed was a iady who had remained til!
all the other visitors had left on purpose to
speak to her alone of v secret which con
cerned her an-i Mme. Carre.
"Your husband," she said, "has been my
lover for the last three years. My husband
has recently discovered" the liaison and has
challenged y.»ur husband. The duel is to
be fought on Friday. I come to warn you
- 1 that you on your side may seelE to
prevent :t. a? I by all possible means am
trying to do on my side.
directly after Mine. Carre heard this she
went into her husband's office. After re
peating to him what had just been told a
violent quarrel arose between, theni. Sud
denly Carre exclaimed: '"Then there is
nothing left for us to do but to kill our
selves.' ' Mine. Carre replied: 'So, noth
ing; let us kill ourselves."
Those words were overheard by M. Bon
heure, Carre's secretary, who was inau ad
joining room. He at" once came out to
seek to prevent the catastrophe and fol
lowed ilme. Carre inUTber dressing-room,
where the had already seized a bottie of
poison. M. Bonheure snatched it from
ner. but at the same moment he heard the
report ox a pistol in M. Carre's office. He
and Mme. Cane rushed in. Carre, deathly
pale, stood erect with a revolver in his
nand. Blood was. however, pouring from
a buiiet wound in his lempie. Mine. Carre,
bending over her husband, who had fallen
into his secretary's arms, wailed piteousiy.
"Come back, come back. I forgive you!"
While Bonheure was trying to stop the
bleeding with bis handkerchief. Mme.Carre
snatched the revolver and. returnine to
her dressing-room, stood before the looking
glass. Thui taking deliberate aim. she shot
A through the head and died aimost
instantly, M. Carre dying about an hour
later.
M. Clemenceau states that he and Ber
nard Boisene were to act as M. Carres sec
onds in the projected duel. Carre had asked
taat it be deferred until Friday in order to
enable him to put his affairs in order.
Carre was 54 years of age and his wife 43.
His wife, who was passionately fond of
her husband, was an intelligent and
charming woman, who delighted ail the
numerous notabilities of the political,
literary and artistic worlds following the
brilliant soirees given by her husband and
herself in their apartments, which were
noted for their eiegance.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JULY 6, 1895.
HELM'S BIG SCORE.
Friends in New York Go
Almost Wild With
Delight.
DUPLICATES HIS RECORD
And All the Conditions Are
Very Unfavorable for
Shooting.
GEEAT RUN OF SEVENTY-FIVE.
Other Calif or n lan* Who Are Win
ning Medals and Honors at
the Grand Fest.
NEW YORK, N. V., July 5.-There were
sounds of uproarious and unmistakable
mirth in the Schutzenhaus at Glendale
Park to-day, and spectators came running '
from all parts of the ground to ascertain
the cause. When they got inside they saw j
GEORGE HELM, THE MA2J OF DEADLY AIM.
a big giant with a jovial countenance
which wears a smile at all times, but at
that moment the said smile had broadened
materially. He was surrounded by a, little
crowd of men whose life or death seemed
to depend on shaking his hand and shout
ing into his ears, while the big fellow
looked as if his interest in life consisted in
hU solving the puzzle of making one pair
of hands do the work of twenty.
When matters had quieted down some
what and the chief actors in the scene had
gone to open innumerable bottles, the
questioning audience learned that the big
man was George Helm of the San Fran
cisco Schuetzen Verein, that the little
crowd comprised his fellow clubmen, and
that the cause of rejoicing was the fact
that George had duplicated his own
record of 75 made in San Francisco two
years ago, which is *'moglich"' on the man
target.
The value of this phenomenal score can
scarcely be imagined except by those who
saw the atmospheric conditions under
which the feat was accomplished. All the
weather deities were against the shooter —
Jupiter Plnvius was sending down thunder
showers, old jEolus was blowing against
toe marksman in no gentle manner, and
Lux, that most essential necessary to a
sharpsbooting success, was decidedly un
generous. The score was phenomenal un
der such circumstances, aud in addition
the Californian only commenced shooting
in earnest to-day, having fired out a few
shots yesterday.
He said to The Call representative in
course of conversation last night, "When 1
commence in earnest I may show them
something," and George did, and did it
most emphatically.
A. Strecker now takes second place on
the ring with 78, and still leads on the
man with a duplicate score of his own
record made at the Milwaukee shoot last
month— 97. Thft score will hardly be
beaten. F. Schuester*s splendid score of
71 on the honor target Colombia is still
high, and will also take a lot of beating.
Young A. H. Pape was the first man to
make three bnllseyes on the honor target
Germany during the tournament, and
holds the record so far for four consecu
tive red flags on the point target, while his
47 on the standard is only one point below
the score, and he has made 65 on the
honor target Columbia.
Strecker is considered by those whose
judgment is worth putting some faith in
to have a very good chance for the Schuet
zen ring prize. His average is about 18}£
on the point target. .
All the foregoing named have won gold
and silver medals on the point target, and
so have Blodan, ''Pop " Ebrenpfort.Bendel,
Young, Faktor and Alpers. ■
Taking the standing of Calif ornians all
around it looks as if the prophecy of the
bystanders that "those Californians will
sweep the board" would come true. In
addition to their success at the ranges the
Golden City men are winning fresh laurels
in popularity every day, and the general
verdict of their host of new friends is that
they are the nicest crowd in existence.
To-morrow the California delegation will
do little shooting, as they are going up the
Hudson River as the } guests of the Win
chester Arms Company. : "

Some of the Good Scores Made During
the Day,
NEW YORK, N. V., July s.— The 1 sixth
day of the great National Schuetzenfest
was devoted to the bowlers, and from 4
o'clock in the afternoon the twirlers held
sway. Jupiter Pluvius was a little more
agreeable " than yesterday, but was
by no means on his best behavior,
and heavy showers fell at intervals during
the day. The 900 spectators, however,
were philosophically inclined, and, having
found shelter in Schuetzen Hall, dancing
pavilion and booths during the rain,
emerged from under cover when the blue
sky showed through the rain-clouds.
Owing to the inclemency of the weather
the committee decided to extend the time
of shooting at honor targets, which was to
have ended at 7 o'clock to-morrow, until
Monday evening, when the snooting on
the general priz«- targets will also close.
The prizes will be distributed on Wednes
day. While a doubt may exist as to the pow
ers of the committee to make this extension,
and it certainly is rather hard on the men
who have already shot at the honor tar
gets, as they can only shoot one ticket of
three shots, there is no doubt whatever
that the manner in which the announce
ment of the extension was received by the
sharpshooters reflects the greatest credit
on their broadmindedness and true sport
ing character.
The team bowling competitions were
rolled off to-day. The highest individual
score was 110, made by A. Schuting of the
Has Beens Bowling Club of New York
City, and the club also made the most
points in the King contest, scoring 437. L.
Wingenfield of the Linden Grove Bowling
Club of Hudson City, N. J M was sec
ond in the King contest with 99
points, and the Linden Grove Club was
the second best team with a score
of 417 point?. The Linden Groves
objected to the -'Has Beens" on the ground
that they were not a regularly organized
bowline club, and the air was rife with
talk of affidavits, etc., and the matter was
not decided by ihe bowling committee
when the United Press representative left
at 9:4.5 p.m.
The shooting to-day was of a very high
order, and some scores made are wonder
fuL The number of competitors was
greater than at any other day since the
tournament began. The following are the
best scores made on the targets of honor:
Colombia— A. H. Merriman oi Bridgeport, t?.

Chmntbers an* the Tom Money,
CHICAGO, 111., July V— The police
here have received word from Lexington,
Ky., that John Chambers of that city left
four months ago for Seattle, and intended
storming in Chicaso. and it is thought he
may be the man who tore np the 13000 in
bank bills and shattered them over the

At present it is not known who tore up the

provides for auctioning off the eight beat

sale will probably take place Monday, Au

THE "DE LONG BROTHERS"
Two Smooth Swindlers Caught
With a "Come-On" Man
in Tow.
WAS AFTER THE REAL MONEY.
Prepared to Rob the Operators
Who Live by Fleecing
Countrymen.
NEW YORK. N. V., July s.— They were
prosperous-looking men, well dressed and
well fed. They smoked good cigars and
were gentlemanly in their behavior. To
day they were arraigned in the Tombs Po
lice Court, charged with being green-goods
aen, and sen; to the Workhouse.
The police want to learn more about
them. For nine years past these men,
who to-day figured in the Police Court as
Henry F. Daly. 42 years old, and George
Roberts, 36 years old, have occupied room
10 on the fourth floor of 108 Broad street.
They were known there as the "De Long
brothers,' and had the bearing of business,
save that they were a trifle irregular at
times in their hours. The building is oc
cupied by erain brokers, agents and busi
ness men who need only small, quiet of
fices. No one in the building fcnew the 'De
Long brothers" except by name and sight.
They received large quantities of jnail and
occasional visitors, and sometimes the vis-
itors looked like country customers. But
they came and went quietly, and so at-
tracted little attention.
When the other tenants heard lately
that the De Long brothers had been ar
reited by Policeman Boaz of the old Slip
station they were much surprised. Not
one said, "I told you so."
Janitor Anthony, who is a colored man.
was dumfounded. Anthony, with his
wife and family, has been in charge and
lived in the building for five years. He
said to-day that the old janitor who was
there for three years before he took charge
told him that the De Longs had been there
before he came.
"That was nine years ago," said An-
thony. "and in all that time they have oc- ,
cupied No. 10 and been perfect gentlemen.
They objected to us when we came here
because we are colored people, but by
and-by they were kind and forgot our .
color. In the building they were supposed
to be dealers in patents; that they were
thought to buy patents from inventors
and sell them to capitalists or to do a brok
erage business between the man who had
a patent to seli and the man who desired
to buy."
Now the police say that they have been
green-goods men all these years, and that ;
j their office, situated in a respectable neigh
-1 borhood. among genuine brokers, was
■ simply a place to which they could lure their
victims, otherwise known as "come on.'
There they kept paraphernal a, circulars,
letters, documents, newspaper-clippings,
boxes filled with sawdust, and a full outfit
for an expert in their business. When the
[ men were caught yesterday they were in
i company with a "come on.' who described
himself as Joseph N. Pelieter. aged 35 ;
years, a butcher of Chicopee Falls, Mass.,
who had come on to secure s4tOo. Pelieter,
who is also a prisoner in the Tombs, was
armed with two bulldog revolvers, and ad
mitted that he intended to frighten the
green-goods men out of the real money
when he got them to the Grand Central
depot, where he had a friend, also from
Chicopee, waiting for him.
Pelieter said he knew all about the
green-goods game. He came here to get the
swindiers' money, pretending to be green,
and but for the arrest oi himself and the
•De Long brothers' he might have been
in the Tombs on a more serious charge
than that of carrying concealed weapons.
The arrest of the 'De Long brothers"
sent a chill through many offices down
town in the vicinity of Broad and New
streets and Exchange place, which is in
fested by bucket-shops, poolrooms and
similar places. There were many whisper
in is in doorways and hallways to.day, and
the rumor gained credence that the police
would hereafter look after the gentlemen
downtown who lived by their wits and
pass as brokers and business men.

BRIGHTON BEACH, N. V., July 5.—
Considering that the weatner was any
thing but fine and that yesterday was a

Managers of the Western Association
Hoi* a lift '.ing.
OMAHA, Nebs.. July s.— The managers
of the various teams of the "Western Asso
ciation were in session in the Paxton
Hotel regarding the Omaha baseball team.
Most of the time was spent in talking over
the situation. The consensus was that it
would be unwise for the team to leave
Omaha, and the others in the association
joined in with President Kent that the
team should and would remain in this
city. Some opposition to Manager Rowe
of the Omaha Baseball Club was seen, and
it was clearly shown that his connection
with the -team caused the trouble. It was
at length determined to keep the club here
if Omaha would show sufficient encourage
: ment to the club, and President Kent of
; the association will visit the businessmen
to see what the feeling is. This settles the
matter, it is believed. Th*» victory of
Omaha at Lincoln to-day has revived base- j
bail spirit wonderfully here and % the club
will receive a hearty welcome home.
Aside from the "business of the Omaha
! club the managers considered protested
games. The first was where the Peorias
and Rockfords played until the score was [
5 to 3 in Peorias' favor, when Peoria left !
to catch a train. The umpire gave the'
j same to Rockford. The managers reversed
j this. The second protested game was
where Lincoln missed a train and the
game was given to Peoria. The managers
! decided that this game should be played off.
PITT3BURG. Pa., July 5. — Pittsburg

I Can't Sleep
Is the complaint of many at, this season.
The reason is found Jin the fact that the
nerves are weak and the body in a feverish
and unhealthy condition. The nerves mar
be restored by Hood's Sarsaparilia. which
feeds them upon pure blood, and this med-
icine will also create an appetite, and tone
pp the system and thus give 3weet refresh-
ing sleep and vigorous health.
Hood's Sarsaparilia
Is the only true blood purifier prominently
in the public eve to-day. $1; six for $5.
