and tried to get the key il order to give an
alarm, but did not sue eed. Atkinson then
took another doze OF the deadly drug, and
turning suddenly to his wife, said;
Say, wife, wouldn't you like to get this
key"
His spouse replied by grabbing dexter

the mocpline-sater hurled her back across
the bed and savagely told her that if she made
another such attempt he would Kill her as

lay down on the bed, stretched himself at

BRADsTREETs' STATISTICS.
On Strikes and Loclsouts Incidental to the
Eight-Hour Plan.

Eight-HOur Plan.
New YORK, May 24-One week ago
Bradstreet'& announced that the total number
Of reported short-hour strikers at most of
the more prominent industrial centers
within two or three weeks was about 200 900.
In addition to these there were within that
period, at most, about $4,000 strikers whose
demands were not for shorter hours of labor
daily, indicating the grand total of indus
trial strikers for all reasons, between April
"a and May IA, was about $50, 0C0 By ref
erence to memoranda covering the labor
troubles specified, it is found that at no ono
time were there more than u.s. 900 employees
on strike, that number being in the field as it
were, against the employers during the week
ending May II. The decline from that date to
Monday last was marked, the aggregate on
May II not exceeding $4,000 strikers for all
causes, The reports Of strikes from the
cities and districts named on May q showed
another heavy decline, owing in part to de-
feats Of remaining agitations for eight hours
at Chicago and to the practical failure of
the bituminous coal strikes. The totals
wired to Bradstreets, are as follows: Total
