MURDER AND SUICIDE.
A Fifteen Year. Old Girl Murdered by Young
Man Who Was Guest in Her Home.

MILWAUKEE, April Sin two-story brick
house at the corner of Vliet and Sixth streets
was enacted, at an early hour this morning, the
most unaccountable murder and suicide that
probably ever occurred in this city. Annie
Rosenstein beautiful girl of fifteen years. while
sleeping by the side of her little sisters was shot
and instantly killed by Isadore Seidenbaum, an
eighteen year-old friend of the family, who was
enjoying their hospitality. The family occu-
pies the lower floor Of the house. About 130
o'clock Morris Rosenstein and his wife were
awakened by the report Of revolver, followed
quickly by second shot. Mr. Rosenstein jumped
ffom his bed and went to the kitchen for light,
when he noticed that the door of the children's
room was open. On entering, his eyes met a
horrible spectacle. With the dead body of their
sister beside them, the four other children in
the bed sat up and rubbed their eyes, ignorant
of the terrible deed Seidenbaum was in his
night-clothes. and lay in fallen position, partly
over the body of the murdered girl. Both were
dead. Blood flowed from wound in the side of
the girls head, above the left ear, and from a
hole in the breast of the young man. Messen-
gers we're sent to the police station. and Seiden-
baums body was taken TO the morgue. None of
the relatives of the deceased could advance any
theory as TO the cause of the double tragedy.

the Vandalia road applied to the foreman of the
yards of that road for work, and offered to re-
turn to their old positions, provided they should
be granted their demand for an increase OF wages
Of 25 cents per day. While they were discussing
the situation with the foreman they were ap
preached by delegation of Knights who per

their applications. and they are therefore still
