New York SUM-
Fanny Davenport, the actress, whose
marriage to Edwin +. Price, at Can.
ton, Pa, is reported, is the eldest
daughter of the late Il. L. Davenport
the tragedian. Her mother was 4

that name, and her brother and sisters
are all before the public as perform
ers. Mrs. Davenport is moderately
wealthy, and lives in Philadelphia.
where she is to act next season. Miss
Fanny has more beauty and talent
than any of her sisters. She broke
her nose by a fall on the stage two
years ago, but a skillful surgeon
Strengthened it out so that no blemish
was left She was favored member
OF Days company, at the Fifth Ave
nue. Theater, and it was there that
she first became prominent in the
business. Of late she has been sue
cessful as star, Price has been for
two seasons member of her company.
In which his wife also acted during
one season; but Mrs. Price became
jealous in consequence of the admira
tion of her husband and Miss Daven-
port for each other, and an estranre-
ment ensued, Mrs. Price finally sued
for a divorce, and obtained it less
than two weeks ago but Miss Daven-
port was not brought into the lawsuit.
and there was no opposition by Price
to the granting of the decree. Price
was grocery clerk until eight years
ago, when he went on the stage in
Canada, afterward travelling with va
rious companies, and finally becoming
a fair leading actor. His divorced
wife was Kitty Baker, and no married
her while both were acting in Phila
delphia. Canton, Pa, is the country

CRIMSON CRIME.
Shocking Double Tragedy In Chicago.
Special to Cincinnati Enquirer

Special to Cincinnati EnQuirerl
CHICAGO, August 5.-An extraor-
dinary double tragedy occurred this
afternoon at a foundry on Polk street.
One of the owners, Solomon Sem,
having had some dispute with the
foreman, Conrad Engerman, regarding
the quality of some work he had done,
and this morning Sem, who anticipa-
ted renewal of the trouble, supplied
himself with revolver before going
to the foundry. He had already told
Engerman to consider himself dis
charged, but the two other members
of the firm endeavOred to have the
offending foreman make an apology
for his abusive language and to adjust
the difficulty But he refused to apol-
ogize, and the war of words was re-
sumed to-day after dinner, when Eng
erman came into the business Office
to get the money due him, preparatory
to leaving
Some heated words passed, and
Engerman gave Sem the lie. The
latter rushed to his private office and
from his desk got the revolver he had
purchased in the morning, The book
keeper had gone to the safe to get
Engerman's money, and Mr.. Schille,
one of the firm, who was standing at
the desk, hearing click, turned Just
in time to see his partner level the
pistol and fire. His aim had been
true, and Engerman fell to the floor,
shot through the right temple, the
bullet lodging in the back lobe of the
brain. Sem attempted to fire again,
but Schille succeeded in preventing
him by knocking the revolver from
his hand. Sem now rushed back into
his private Office, while his partner
and book-keeper gave their attention
to the wounded man, who lay on the
floor motionless and unconscious, the
blood and brains oozing from the hole
in his temple.
Hearing the sound of falling body
in the adjoining private Office Mr..
Schille rushed into the room, and ia
his unspeakable horror saw his rash
partner senseless on the floor, with a
perfect torrent of blood rushing from
a fearful cash in the neck. Sem well
knowing that he had committed mur-
der, and supposing Engermau to be
dead, had drawn his pocket-knife, an
old-fashioned weapon with a dirk.
shaped blade about four inches lone
and sharp as a razor, and stabbed
himself in the right side of the neck
The blow was as well directed as the
pistol aim, and severed the jugulal
vein and the man died almost instant.
| ly.
Engerman survived his slayer only
an hour, remaining unconscious to the
last. He was about twenty-six year:
of age, German, and was sober, indus.
trious and well liked by all with whom
he came in contact. He leaves wife
and one child, who were dependent
upon him for their support.
Solomon Sem was about forty years
old, and resided on Dearborn avenue
on the north side. He leaves a wife
and five young children. He wa,
comfortably well off, and it is thought
his family will not be in want.
