Doing! of the Utiilan and Austrian Oor- einmenti Cam. AlHrm. lKN.tA. Nov. 20. Tho newspapers of e Continent aro liristllng with alarm ist rumors, dark references and seus tlonal Intimations. Prominent among these is the report, said to be well founded, tbat the Rus sian government has ordered a reinforce ment of. 40,003 troops to be dispatched to the frontier and that orders have been Issued largely to increase the bar rack accommodations at various points along the Russian frontier generally. Coupled with this announcement is the report, believed to be correct, that the Austrian government, In addition to the relnforconients recently sent to the Galiclnn frontier, has ordored a large body of troops to be dispatched to strengthen the frontier guards. - Tacked on to these significant state ments is the fact that the German War Ofllce has ordered a large number of portable tents to be manufactured for the use of the Eastern Army Corps, with the view, it is openly stated, of sheltering the (iurraau troopi from the inclemency of the weather In tho event of war this winter with Russia. Additional barrack room is also being provided In many towns along the Russo-Gorman frontier, and soveral cav alry corps havo been strengthened in the i(lltary districts which would have to 9hr the onslaughts of the Russian -.rmlos. It Is the general opinion that the Czar and his advisors are being driven to des peration on account of the famine troubles, internal political difficulties and financial complications brought to an acute stage by the recent failure to float the now Russian loan. That war would be a positive relief from these complications seems to be gaining ground rapidly, and may be the cause of the present uneasy feeling. The Russian Minister of War is said to have suddenly abandoned the project of purchasing new smokeless powder small calibre rifles in France and to have ordered the government ammunition factories to work night and day at thi task, on hand for some time past, ol filling old Berdan cartridges with smokeless powder. Many veteran regiments are being transferred from Finland to the Aus trian frontier, while the recruits aloni are being sent to the Baltic provlnoes. Best work done at Bronnan's steam laundry.

DAUGHTER'S ACT- IT SAyED THE SLAYER OP HEP PARENTS PROM LYNCHING. THE BRUTA. Q NIPSH MURDER' Butohor Keck .Ato Dinner With tho Agod Couplo Boforo tho Shooting Tho Exoitemont Intense. InoNTo.v, Ta., Nov. 20. The brutnl double murder of Jennnetto Nlpsh, and her husband, William, at Smoketown, near here, Is the great nnd only theme of dlicusslon. William Keck, the mur der, is in jail at Allentown. The aged couple lived In an old one story log cabin In an isolated part of the county. Keck, who had been on terms, of Intimate friendship with the Did folks, went to their house Wednes day. Ho had with him a double bar relled shotgun and he Biild he had been gunning. He was asked to remain for dinner, and did so. So far as is known there was no trouble bctwoon him nnd the old folk, and robbery seems to be tbe only motive for the crime. The story of the shooting is told by tbo husb.ind, who, although mortally wounded, crawled on his hands and feet to the house of Henry Druckoumlller, who lives about a hundred yards away, and notified them of the tragedy. After dinner, he said, Keck went to tho corner of the kitchen where his gun was standing, and took up tho weapon. Nlpsh was sitting at the window look ing at the chicken?, Keck deliberately fired at him, tho charge taking effect in the old man's back, near tho right shoulder, felling him to tho floor. Mrs. Nlpsh went to her husband's assistance, but wns burled aside by Keck, who then wont out to the wood pile, seized an axe, and returning struck Nlpsh on the back ot tho head. The old man tried to defend himself by holding up his hands, whereupon Keck picked up a heavy piece of kind ling wood and struck his victim a ter rific blow across the head, making him insensible. Mrs. Nlpsh had run out to glvo an alarm. Keck followed and caught her, dragged her back Into tho house and threw her upon the floor. Picking up his gun, he shot her, the load taking effect in the back of her head, crashing through the skull and penetrating the brain. Supposing that he had effectually dis posed of his aged victims Keck went into the bedroom and from tho top drawer ot the bureau took all the money the aged couplo possessed. It was about SO, mainly in silver. He then left. It was two hours after tho murder when Nipsh reached Druckeiiinillcr's home. A party went to NIpsh's house and found Keck there. He hud returned to sue the remit of his work. He was put under arrest, and under a guard was kept In tho house until policemen from the city should arrive. In tho oveniugn hundred men entered the house and took Keck out, intending to hang him to the nearest tree. They were dissuaded, however, by Mrs. Joseph Masonheiinor, u daughter of his victims, who besought them not to wreuk their vengeance upon the murderer, but to let the law punish him. Nlpsh U not expected to live tho day out. Squire Kelcher look his ante-mortem statement lase night and it was presented to the coroner's jury. Charles Lobuch tostifled that shortly after the murder Keck bought coal lrom him and in payment gave him silver, which, tt Is believed, he stole from Mr. Nipsh's house. Keck says he Is innocent, but ret uses to give any explanation of his move ments. Ho is 50 years old, has a wife, from whom ha is separated, aud a daughter. He served six mouths iu Easton jail for threatening to kill his family. He served iu the 81st and 47th regiments durlug the war. Hawaii Slay Have Kitrolutlon. Baltimoke, Md., Nov. 20.
