under rne eonrrOl or the clvfl service reform
rule, or else the adoption of law similar to
the one adopted in Pennsylvania in 1878, pro-
Eibiting the lease or consolidation by one
telegraph company of any competing line.
TheWitness cited figures to show progress in
the telegraphic business in England since
it came under the control of the Govern
flent: he also claimed that all additional
facilities obtained from new inventions
there directly benefited the public, while in
this country they only benefited the cor
poratiOns. He then gave list of the mum
her of telegraph companies absorbed by the
Western Union Company, and claimed to
show by figures that the capital stock of
that company had been greatly inflated.
Mr.. W. H. Forster, Secretary of the
Amalgamated Trade and Labor Unions, tes-
silied that one effect of trades-unions was to
name the hours of labor, without CORE
spending reduction of compensation. A
certificate OF membership was also looked
tpon in most unions as certificate Of
competency as a workman. The witness
concluded his testimony by giving a descrip-
ton of the condition of the working classes
in Cincinnati. He said that about five per
cent OF that class was in a very impoyer-
shed condition, and the general feeling be-
tween the employe and employer was one
of distrust.
Conrad Carl, for thirty years a tailor in
this city, said that nearly 10000 persons
We're working at that trade here alone, and
that they were compelled to turn out twice
as much work now as they did before the

nine dollars week, and women of four dol
lars week, on an average of sixteen hours
work day. He said his testimony was
given in the fear of being punished by his

Burt Scheibel shot and killed Josie Stubb
a sporting woman, in her room at Mrs.
Kinks, 141 George street at 9 80 O'Clock
Monday morning, and then shot himself in
the face, dying instantly. The discovery was
not made until noon, when a servant went up
to the room and found both dead. The girl
was undresSed and in bed, with her hands
uplifted and the man was lying on the floor.
Scheibel slept in the house Sunday night.
He and the girl did not get home until four
O'Clock Monday morning. The occupants
of the house heard quanelng, but the pis-
tol-shots were very faint, and no notice was
taken of them. Scheibel has been jealous
of the woman for some time, and has fire.
quently threated to kill her.
The two unfortunate beings had met in
Dayton, O., where both had lived. Scheibel
had left there on account of embeZZlement
while employed in an insurance Office, while
the girl had run away from her home after
her ruin. Scheibel had been employed as
book-keeper for shoe firm here, but had
been discharged for dissipation. He left a
letter regretting the killing of the girl, but
saying he could not die and leave her be
hind. He requested that their bodies should
be sent To DAYTON.

seized her. A can of kerosene oil was pro-

then applied, with the evident intention OF

tracing the neghbors, who speedily
smothered the flames and secured her from
impending death. Not content with the re-
suit OF their first attempt TO end the ehild's
days. the little fellows repeated the attempt,
but were again unsuccessful, owing to the

In the southern part of this city Monday
afternoon. The colored people became
excited, and their demonstrations while

Fifty shots were fired, and when

fifteen were found to be wounded, three
fatally. A crowd of whites returned later In
