A TERRIBLE DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
MILWAUKEE. April Ga terrible
double tragedy was enacted at the
two-story brick residence of Maurice
Rosenstein, $50 Vliet street, early this
morning, Isador Leiden baum, a,young
Hebrew aged Is years. shooting Annie
Rosenstein, the 15-year old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Rosenstein, and then
shooting himself, death in both cases
| being instantaneous. The murderer,
whom, it appears, was on the most
intimate terms with his victim and
her family, passed last evening
at the house. The time was pleasant
ly spent In playing casino. and when
the hour for retiring arrived, Ssiden-
baum, at his own request. was per-
mitted to remain all night At about
80 o'clock this morning, Lieden baum
quietly arose from his bed, without
disturbing mis- roommate, and, clad
only in his night clothes, proceeded
directly to the children's room. The
sleeping inmates apparently were not
disturbed from their slumbers by the
young mans entrance. He instantly
fred two shots in quick succession,
one entering the left temple of the
Oldest girl, Annie, the other lodging
in his own breast. The murdered
girl expired without uttering sound
and Leidenbaum fell dead across the
body of his victim. The young man
was the son of wealthy parents living
in Crakow, Austria, where he receiv
ed splendid education. On account
of his dissolute and irregular habits,
however, the young man was shipped
to America by his relatives some two
years ago. He was often aided by
his fellow countrymen and several
times lucrative situations were fur
nished him but he was unable TO hold
them because of his dissipation. The
JEWISH people finally began TO look
upon him as fraud,
Leidenbaum had been very despoa-
dept of late, but he did not appear to
be at all demented. 1t is thought
now, however, that he morbidly loved
Annie Rosenstein, although previous
to this mornings tragedy the young
lady's parents had no idea of such a
thing. The only theory regarding
the motive for the terrible deed, is
that Leidenbaum determined to end
his existence, which, owing to his dis
solute habits, had become burden to
both himself and friends, and then
conceived the idea of killing the girl,
jealousy driving him to the latter
crime. Lsidenbaum's body was re-
moved to the morgue shortly after
the shooting, and the body of the un-
fortunate girl reposes at her home.
An inquest will be held tomorrow
forenoon.
A SENSATIONAL DEATH.
WAUKEsHA, April 6.-Quite an ex-
element was created in this village
on Saturday afternoon, by the sudden
death of a twc-year-old child. 1t
seems that the mother of the babe
gave it to g family named Hunkins
for adoption, but afterwards sought to
have it returned by proceedings for
brutal treatment. The Hunkins' won
in the hearing, however, and this
made the emnity between the parties
more intense. On Saturday, while
the baby was eating, it became
suddenly convulsed, and the fos-
ter mother ran to the neighbors; ex-
claiming that the child was dying,
and that people would say she had
killed it. The strange manner of the
child's passing off soon took wings
and q coroner's jury was summoned.
Bruises and sores were found over the
child's eatire body, but the neighbors
testified that they had never witnessed
any i'll treatment. DR.. Philler, the
health officer, made an examination
and concluded that death was the re-
suit of natural causes. The jury rem
dered verdict accordingly.
A DISASTROUS COLLISION.
BELoIT, April "a serious railway
wreck occurred about 5 o'clock this
morning, on the Chicago & North
western road, at point in the out
skirts of the city. -Four wild trains
were involved in a smash-up. Three
engines, each with caboose attached,
and one engine drawing a freight
train-all going north-became
punched during the prevalence of a
dense fog. Three engines crashed
into the cabooses ahead of them in
quick succession, wrecking things
generally and badly injurlng Coa-
ductor A. w. Squires and Manley
Kenyon. a brakeman. The latter re
sides at Baraboo. Squires' injuries
will probably prove fatal. w. A.
Richardson, brakeman, was slightly
injured. Two engines and two ca
booses were badly wrecked. The re-
sponsipility for the accident has not
yet been placed, but it was no doubt
due entirely to the fog. The track
was soon cleared of the debris.
FIRE AT BOSCOBEL.
