situation here shows little change to-day.
More men are out, increasing the total
number of striking and locked-out men to
4, 200. The Baugh steam forge works shut

j. Murphy 81 Co., which was allowed by
the strikers to resume, owing to its COM
petition with the house Of correction shut
down this morning for the rest of
the week. All of its $50 employees
promise 70 report for work Monday morn
ing. A number of factories have volun-
tarIly advanced the wages of their en-
ployes or made some voluntary concession
regarding hours, with the hope of avoiding
trouble.
A conference was held this afternoon at
which the Michigan car shopmen tried to
persuade their late employers to take them
back at the terms demanded. The en-
ployers gave q peremptory refusal. 1t was
then decided by the strikers that they
would seek work elsewhere and none of
them return to the Michigan car shops A
meeting will be held tomorrow, when the
question of allowing the company to en-
ploy new men will be considered. The
number Of new men in this move is 1000.

the direct result of an illicit love and
an intatuation upon the husbands part
for a girl who was neither attractive i'll
appearance nor winning in diSpo-
sition. The first outside knowledge
Of family trouble at the Woerner
household was given by Mrs. Woerner on
Thursday evening when she called at police
headquarters and informed Mr.. Armstrong,
clerk i'll the office of the chief of police.
that she desired a warrant for the
the arrest of her husband, who,
she stated, had locked the doors on her and
refused her access to her home, and had
also threatened her with violence. The
lady was greatly excited and intimated
that servant girl was the direct cause of
her husbands cruel treatment Of her. Mr..
Armstrong advised her to wait until mOrn-
ing and then enter complaint against her
husband in the municipal court. 1t seems,
however, she was not inclined to wait, and
at once entered complaint, charging him
with Gisorderly conduct. Shortly after Z
o'clock yesterday morning Officer Sorenson
was detailed to go to Woerner's drug store
and make the arrest. He reached the place
about 7:40, and soon thereafter the
SINGULAR DOUBLE TRAGEDY
occurred. When the officer reached the
place. he found Woerner conversing on the
sidewalk with Dr.. Ames, and passed by.
He was then accosted by Mr.. Henry
Strange. an honest German citizen living
in a house just across the alley from the
building occupied by Weerner and family,
He told the officer there was somethiAg
wrong and suggested that he had better
stay around here to-day, as there is going
to be some bad work done" The officer then
entered the store, and at the request
of Mr.. Strange went upstairs where the
family resided. There he was shown the
dead body of Katie" who. he was told
had Just died from the effects of poison.

Distributing Anarchist Circulars.
Special to the Globe


PITTsBURG, Pa, May 7.-Considerabie
excitement was caused i'll the west end of
Pittsburg and the lower wards of Allegheny
City tonight by the appearance of num-
Der of strangers who hurriedly passed from
house to house and street to street placing
circulars in every doorway and handing
them to passers. Investigation showed the
contents of the circulars to be identical with
those distributed by anarchists in Chicago
and Cleveland. The police were notified
and officers dressed in citizens cloth
ing sent to arrest the distributors, who
are described as hard-lookiug set
of men. They had ceased their labors,
hover, previous to the officers appearance.
and could not be found. Similar circulars,
concealed inside of Chicago anarchist
paper to the number of several hundred,
have been received at the Pittsburg post
office for distribution. The fact of the cir
cuiars, concealed inside the paper, of which
they are no part, being violation of the
postal laws Postmaster Larkin has detained

PITTsBURG, May 1.-THE labor difficult
ties have caused depression in business
that is perhaps doing more injury to the
building trade than to any other. 1t is es-
timated that nearly half million dollars
worth of business in Pittsburg and Alleghe-
ny has been lost since the labor troubles be-
gan. Builders and contractors complain
about contracts that have been broken;
plumbers and supply dealers, furniture and
lumber men Of orders that have been count
ermanded; and architects are idly waiting
for orders for plans. The iron and steel
trade is suffering heavy losses from the
labor troubles. Orders are being counter
manded, and every one is uneasy. No
manufacturer is buying any stock, and all
are holding Oh to what they now have. The
advance in the price of carrying ore, of
coke, and the wages of the labOrers, added
to a feeling that the end has not come yet,
makes the iron men very shy.

GETTING INTO SHAPE.
The st. Paul Base Ball Club Prac-
tees On the New Grounds.


The members of the st. Paul Base Ball
club went out yesterday afternoon for their
first practice on the new ball grounds.
They appeared in their new suits, which
set off their athletic figures handsomely
Quite q number Of spectators wsrs in the
grand stand and watched the players during
their two hours work. The grounds yes
terday were in rather poor condition, being
uneven and a tri1e soggy, but Workmen
are busily engaged leveling and by Sunday
they will be in prime shape. A board
walk has been laid from the
grounds to the Milwaukee track to a
point where the Short Line trains will stop
and from the street car line they are but
two minutes walk. The location is very
convenient. The men yesterday showed
up in good shape and gave premise OF sharp
work. In the field they are especially
strong, and the basemen held their points
finely. Their practice yesterday was not
hard, as they wish to save themselves for
their opening game with the Duluths
which is to be played next Sunday, begin
ming in the afternoon at 3 o'clock. 1t is
probable that Wilnlot and Racraft will
form the battery. Racraft gives promise of
doing COED work behind the bat, as he holds
lio Odli WISH titQ ID ltiudl hdDly Straight
and swift threwer to the bases. Wilmot
went into the box yesterday afternoon and
gave an exhibition Of pitching. He has good
control of the ball. The members of the
club are not heavy men, but they are active
and every enc is swift base runner.
There is roomy grand stand OH the ground,
with water-tight roof. No teams will be
allowed inside the fence, arrangements
having been made for the hitching of hsrses
outside, and during the game they will be
watched by special policemen appointed for
that purpose. The game next Sunday will
undoubtedly be good one, as the Duluth
club has proven in its games with the
Brainerd boys that 1t is strong one.

CROP REPORT.

The Agricultural Department authorities
report for the month of September that the
conditions we're very unlavorablc to the
present corn crop in New Jersey, and that
there was a much larger reduction in the
State thar during the month OF August.
Excessive rains in the early season, fol-
lowed by drought, have been exceedingly
injurious to the corn crop prospect. The
wheat crop in New Jersey was injured by
rains after the harvest, and in many in
will show an average OF 90. 9 per cent.
Pennsylvania stands first with its rye crop,
at 101 per cent, With New Jersey second,
at 100 per cent, and New York third, at
OF per cent. The barley crop as a whole is
satisfactory. Tho general average of
| potatoes has fallen from SO. 3, in August,
to 81. A on Sept. /, this being the lowest
September average for ten years, with the
single exception of 1881. While the loss
is general, it is more apparent in New
| Jersey, where the greatest decline 15
points, occurred. The damage from rot in
the State has been widespread and still
continues. OF the three great peach-grow-
lug States New Jersey, Delaware and
| MARYLAND, tho former leads with sc per
cent, Maryland with 67 and Delaware
| with So. There is much complaint of the
| fruit rotting, both before and after being
| picked. In New Jersey the average Sep
tember condition of crops was: Corn, "a
per cent; wheat, 90 per cent. when harvest
| ed; rye 100 per cent. when harvested; oats,
100 per cent. when harvested; buckwheat,
81 per cent. potatoes. 50 per cent. apples,
so per cent; peaches, sc per cent; grapes,
T6 per cent. The number of stock hogs
fattening in New Jersey, as compared with
last year is % per cent. their average
condition as to weight and size being 90 per
cent.
A recent publication of the Agricultural
Department gives the total area OF New
Jersey, as All, 200 acres, of which 1880
900 are comprised in the forest area and
100, 600 in the farm area.
