Murderer Breaks the Rope

MoRGANFIELD, Ky, April 23.-Robert Fowler, colored, was hanged at 10:30 this morning for the murder of a young colored woman, Lydia Burnett, August 16, 1885. Fowler weighed 245 pounds and the fall broke the rope. It is supposed, however, that his neck was broken by the fall. He was raised by several men, the rope was tied to the beam and he was left hanging for twenty minutes.
 The crime for which Fowler was hung was one of the most brutal murders that was ev- er committed in this State. His victim, Miss Burnett, lived with her grandmother, Mrs. Dr. Meyers, where Fowler was employed on the farm. Fowler met and fell in love with his victim and repeatedly asked Miss Burnett to marry him, but she steadily refused. Fi- nally giving up all hope he proposed to a ried. About three weeks before the murder Fowler and his wife separat- ed and he again tried to win the hand of Miss Burnett under promise of securing a divorce. He was rejected and he then told her that she would never marry any other man. On Sunday, August 16, while Miss Burnett was returning from visit to her aunt on horseback, Fowler waylaid her in the woods and gashed her throat in horrible manner almost severing the head. Fowler was arrested, but stIenuously denied having committed the crime; but he was tried and found guilty and sentenced to be hanged on November r, but through legal proceedings the execution was postponed until o-day.

THE CONDITION OF TRADE.

Business Irregular and Moderate as a Result Chiefly of the Labor Troubles.
 NEW YORK, April 23.-Special telegrams to Bradstreet's show moderate gains in the movement of general merchandise. The greatest activity relatively is at Kansas City, Detroit and Cincinnati. At eastern centers trade is irregular, but generally of moderate volume. The most depressing factor is the uncertainty of the labor situation. The New less. The gold shipments this week in the direction of Paris have been thought to be indicative of further decrease in the sur plus bank reserve. Money on call has ac- cordingly ruled higher, though in fair sup ply. Interior domestic money markets re- port moderate improvement in mercantile collections. The general situation is more aggravated than 8 week ago, there being at least forty-three thousand strikers reported among the bituminous coal works, railways and miscellaneous employments, as com pared with thirty-one thousand April 16. The pal increases are among street rail way, sewing machine and miscellaneous in dustries.

1t $ a,s established fact that Hoods Sar- saparilla has proven an invaluable remedy in many severe cases of rheumatism, effect ing remarkable cures by it's powerful action in correcting the acidity of the blood, which is the cause of the disease, and purifying and enriehing the vital fluid.
 It is certainly fuir to assume that what Hoods Sarsaparilla has done for others it will do for you. Therefore, if you suffer the pains and aches of rheumatism, give this potent remedy fair trial.
 A Positive Cure.
 "I was troubled very much with Yheuma- tism in my hips, ankles, and wrists. I could hardly walk, and was confined to my bed 8 good deal of the time. Being rec commended to try Hoods Sarsaparilla, I took four bottles and perfectly we'll I cheerfully recommend Hoods Sarsaparilla as one of the best blood purifiers in the world" W. F.

A ACompRom1sE AT CHICAGO.

The Striking SWitchmen on the Lake Shore Road Go Back to Work and Trains Running as Usual.
 CHICAGO, April 23.-After nearly a weeks cessation the striking switchmen of the Lake Shore road resumed work this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock An hour later all the available engines and the whole day crew of the strik- CTS were hard at work, while at 6:30 the first trains started since Saturday last, leaving the cempany's yard at Twelfth street. Whose victory it was could not be ascertained. The railroad officials emphatic in asserting that they have not made the slightest con cession to the strikers, and the latter insist that the agreement upon which the resump- tion of work was based is in readiness at the depot and everyone in authority asserted most emphatically that these men should take the places abandoned by the strikers even if the aid of the State and Union had to be evoked But when Division Superin- tendent Amsden received information from Committeeman Stahl after o'clock that the strikers had gone to work the imported men were paid off and despatched to their homes. In this point at least the company has 'sgiven in" The eight objectionables on whose account the switchmen went out were sent to the round house at three o'clock and went to work. It is asserted by the strikers that this is but temporary. President New ell when asked about the settlement said the company had made no concessions. ''The eight men," he added Twill be on the same equality with the rest of the men as before the strike. They will not be removed just because they non-union men. This company does not H, ignorance of the existence of an agreement between the company and the strikers and seemed to treat the close of the fight on his lines as complete surrender on the part of the strikers. The results of to-day are un- doubtedly the outcome of compromise, and this is most likely the reason why the strik- CTS refuse to say what the details of the arrangement between them and the railroad company are. The most plausible theory is that the important business involved became successful mediators between the company and the men. Had the former insisted on putting the imported men in the places of the strikers Sheriff Hanchett would have been compelled to afford protection, and had the arrangement entered into been unsatis- factory to the strikers operations would not have been resumed by them.
 The following communication is given out tonight by the strikers as the agreement on which they returned to work this afternoon:
 CHICAGO, April B. To William L. Stahl, Chairman of the Committee
 of Strikers:
 Sir-If all the switchmen of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern railway in Chicago and Cook county will return to work at once will personally guarantee that within sixty days from this date the eight objectionable switchmen will be furnished other employment and permanently removed from their present places.
 The name of the signer is withheld and can only be surnaised. Many think that Sheriff Hanchett acted as mediator or that Yardmaster Jones submitted the agreement to the strikers.

The Sugar Reflners Still Out.

NEW YORK, April 23.-The riot of yester- day afternoon at the sugar refneries in Brooklyn not resumed oday. Great crowds visited the scene in the morning, but the police were out in force and the throng dwindled away as the day wore on. The cooperage firm of Palmer &c Wilman shut down this morning, throwing 1 1000 men out of work. The suspension the direct result of the strike, as the sugar houses were the best customers ot the cooperage. Havemeyer's refinery issued circular to the men to-day saying they could hire new men at S1 .25 per day, but preferred to pay S1 45 to the good men who had been working for them. The demand for $1.75 would never be granted. New men would be hired No trades union would be recognized. The cir cHlar advises the men to return to work for a certainty instead of holding for an illusion and to treat all trades unions seeking to con- trol wages through strikes with contempt. It is reported that the other firms will hold 8 conference with the strikers tomorrow.
 Although no disturbances occurred to-day the police did not relax their vigilance, and it is understood the Forty seventh regiment officers held secret meeting tonight to jay out districts and to issue instructions to their men to hold themselves in readiness to be called out at any moment. The strikers to the number of three thousand held a meeting tonight. The circular issued by Havemeyer 6 Elder was read and it's propositions were rejected. After the meeting adjourned sev eral hundred strikers started in the direction of the refneries with the announced inten- ton of preventing non-union men from go- ing to work. Up to a late hour there were no reports of trouble
