house no matter what happens A
brother of the girl, who was employed
in the store and who is bright
boy of IS, begged his sister to leave and
avoid trouble He told her the house be-
longed to Mrs. Woerner and that she must
obey her orders. The girl paid no attention
to her brothers. request, and matters only
grew worse in the dsMeraliZed household
until the final and fatal elimination Of the
trouble yesterday morning. The cause of
the girls conclusion to kill herself is a
decided mystery, aud is only accounted for
upon the grounds that WOerner and herself
entered into al agreement to both wind up
their earthly existence in the event any
any trouble came from their actions.
Katie's brother states that his sister had
been carrying
A VIAL OF POISON
about her clothes for several days preced-
ing the suicide, and that he was unable to
get it from her. The dying girl was first
discovered by her brother about 6:45
o'clock yesterday mornings She was lying
on the floor in the front room OF the up
stairs residence, having fallen, during her
commissions, from the lounge. Near her
head lay an empty tea-cup from which she
had undoubtedly taken the fatal
uOS6, WHICH IS dISU5 supposed TO
have been prussic acid. The brother
fastened to the store below and told
Woerner something was wrong with Katie.
The excited man hastily poured out some
brandy and told him to give her some of it.
The boy fastened to the side Of his dying
sister, but found her unable to take any
thing. He soon succeeded in forcing a
portion of the brady down her throat, but
in few minutes she was corpse. Katie
was aged 20 years, and was stsGt German
girl, by no means prepossessng, and a
blonde.
Coroner Quinn having been notified soon
arrived upon the scene of the tragedy, and
after examining ints the particulars. an
nounced that no inquest was necessary and
that none would be held. 1t is thought.
however. by some conversant with the par
ticulars of the singular affair, that a post

case of the girl.

and quite intelligent, comely and refined
woman. Soon after their marriage they
returned to New York, where Woerner went
into the dug business. While in that city,
the girl Katie, whose presence in the family
has resulted so disastrously, made her pa
pearance and was engaged by Mrs. Woer-

ago Mrs. Woerner purchased a drug stock
and set her husband up in business. Katie,
Mrs. Worner informed particular friend
few days ago, soon gave evidence of being
wild and hayward and some time ago she
left the Woerner house. The parents of
the girl who still reside in Germany, wrote
Mrs. Woerner an appealing letter to take
Katie to her home and endeavor
to make her good girl. Under this plea,
Mrs. Woerner again took the girl into her
household, and few weeks ago her sus-
plclons were aroused as to the probable
relationship between her husband and the
girl. Her fears increased daily, until sew

contains no direct statement about the we'd
ding, but what was said about the dresses
to be made in Paris was construed into
matrimonial admission. The Ida re-
ferred to is supposed to be Miss Gregg, but
there are good reasons for report that
there has been a rupture between her and
Miss Folsom. This grew out of the publ
cation Of her picture and some gossip, tho
responsibility of which is divided
between Miss Gregg and Miss
Jennie WEIGH, a Courier reporter. Miss
Gregg could not be seen, and said that
reporters with whom she was not ac-
quainted would have to talk to her father.

Alleged Crooked Dealing,

MONTREAL, May For some time past
the customs authorities have understood
that the firm of Patterson, Kissock & Co.
were passing goods at under valuation.
Several times they attempted to gain access
to the books of the firm and obtain the nee
essary information, but failed. This morn
Ing they made another attempt and strug-
gle ensued, as the firm had taken
legal advice and were informed that
their books could not be forcibly taken
During the alteration revolvers were
drawn and the police were called in and ar
rested the customs officers. They returned
to the store subsequently,, but were again
baked by the firm, who had locked the
books in the safe. The officers then seized
the stock, which is valued at $175, 900.
The firm have taken legal proceedings
against the custom house authorities. The
firm state that they are innocent of any
Wreng doing. It is said that the charge
against the firm is of very serious charac-

TRADE TOPICS.
Bradstreet,s Report on the Business
OF the Week.

New YORK, May Especial telegra ms
to Bradstreet's indicate that the general
trade situation is less favorable than a week
ago. This is due mainly to the partial
paralysis of business at Chicago as well as
to the disturbed industrial situation at Mill
wa ukee, Cincinnati, st. Louis, Baltimore
and elsewhere. At Chicago no business OF
wholesale character worth mentioning
has been done. and merchants generally are
awaiting the settlement of labor troubles.
A noteworthy incident is the determination
of Chicago metal furniture works
and lumber yards employees to shut
down rather than to accede to what they
regard as unjust demands. A similar
spirit is displayed at Louisville. The move
meRt of merchandise at leading cities east
and west has been checked by the Industrial
troubles. Bradstreet's telegraphic reports
indicate that $50, 900 men have taken part
in the short hour movement; that IT'S, 600
have struck and that 15e. 600 have received
concessions without having to strike. Some
IS, 900 have gained their peiatS by striking.
The outlook fer an early or general clearing
away of industrial disturbances is not
bright The New York stock market was
extremely weak the first two days Of the
week, but

some work to do" and he at once stepped
to the telephone to summon the
patrol wagon. While thus engaged he no
tlced Woerner step quickly behind his pre-
ScrlptOn case and a moment later saw him
retire through rear door, He quickly fol-
lowed and saw his man enter the closet q
few feet away and close the door. He
forced the door open, when he found from
Woener'S actions that he
HAD TAKEN SOMETHING,
as he was then in choking condition
and gasped for water. The officer
hurredly procured a glass Of
water, but when he returned the
poisoned man was unable to swallow it and
the officer forced some down his throat. A
young man in an adjoining yard was sum-
moned and assisted the officer to drag the
then dying man into the store, where he
was laid ON the floor. DR.. Pool, whose
office is but a few hundred feet away, was
quickly called. He states that Woerner was
beyond all aid when he arrived and that he
expired inside of two minutes after he
reached him. DR.. Pool also states that the
swift death-dealing dose was undoubtedly
pruSsic acid, as he says he smelled 1t upon
the dead man. Thus, inside Of half an
hour, both the man and his servant girl
hurried themselves to eternity. The body
OF the former lay stretched upon his store
floor, while i'll the residence portion up
stairs lay that of the girl-a double tragedy,
sudden andsmysterious as to the real cause.
TIE FAMLY'S HISTORY.
The victim, Peter Charles Woerner, was
German, aged 40 years. He was
born in Hessen, Germany, and en-
igrated to America twenty years ago.
After landing in New York he
learned the drug business, and also gradu-
ated with high honors at an institute of
pharmacy. He came first to st. Paul
about seventeen years ago, and at that time
clerked in several drug stores. Some six
teen years ago ne married his wife in this

gatherings for the police to dlsperse, al
though their watchfulneSS was not in any
manner lessened. The lumber district was

by officers, all Of whom had participated
in the riot. Officer Flarins leg was ampu-
tated to-day. This was the only hope Of
saving his life.

STILL STRIKING.
PittsbUrg SOrkmen Continue to
Q;ast Work

QuIt Work.
PITTSBURG, May 1.-THE "teaSerS'' and
thinkers" in twenty South side glass facto-
ries, who recently demanded a ten per
cent. advance in wages, struck this morn
ing, the increase not having been granted.
The factories are still in operation in the
other departments and general shutdown
is not anticipated. Between 200 and 300
men are engaged in the strike. The build
ing trades strike for shorter hours promises
to result favorably to the men. -Four furni
ture factories started up to-day at the
strikers terms. and all of the
others are expected to follow within
twenty-four hours. The stone-ma-
sons report similar condition
of affairs. Fully two-thirds of
the men resumed work. There is no change
in the situation of the carpenters or stone
cutters strike. The threatened strike Of
engineers and fremen Of OF the Pittsburg &.
Western and Pittsburg, Cleveland & Toledo
railroads will not take place. The COM
plant originated with the men on what is
known as the Newcastle run, who were
not granted an increase at the time the
crews on the other runs were advanced.
This morning a committee of engineers
called upon Supt Johnston and notified
him that there would be no strike, as the
pay was satisfactory.
Work was suspended in nearly every de-
partment of Byers' rolling mill to-day,
about 800 of the employees having struck
for an advance of from 10 to Is per cent.
\ settlement is expected tomorrow.

CHICAGO, May Estates Attorney Gun
nell has stated that he has obtained ample
legal evidence duplicating Spies, Fielden
and Schwab, as the leaders in getting up
the terrible riot on Desplaines street, which
resulted III the destruction of several lives
and the manning of several persons. This
evidence will be very damaging to the three
men named when they shall come to be
tried before the criminal court In order
to find out whether the opinion of other
prominent members of the bar sustained or
not the conclusions of the states attorney,
several well-knoWn members of the bar
have been interviewed. The opinion of
all of them, without any exception. is that
SO far as they know what the evidence is it
is fully sufficient TO secure the conviction
OF all three men. They also hold that the
evidence is sufficient to secure their convic-
ton for murder and the inhiction of the
death penalty.
ARREST OF AN AGITATOR.
William Stahlknecht, the president OF
the Cabinetmakers' union. was arrested
shortly after midnight on warrant issued
by Justice Of the peace. Stahlknecht is
accused of intimidatiDg wOrkmen, and is
alleged to have participated in the riot OF
Tuesday night. 1t is said that the Furni-
ture Manufacturers association has de-
nounced him as professional agitator,
saying that, besides melting strikes, he has
prevented strikers DESTROYS of settling their
difficulties from comforting with their en-
ployerS, except through him.
DYNAMITER JAILED.
The police arrested suspected dynamiter
named William Seliger on the north pier
this forenoon, and afterward searched his
room at No. 442 Sedgwick street Here
was found large quantity Of dynamite,
two guns and large quantity of cartridges.
The fear exhibited by the man when taken
into the Central police station about noon
was almost painful. His face had deadly
pallor and he could hardly keep from fall
ing. What evidence the police possess
against him is not stated.
