uuncrOuntable Murder ana suioide
Mt Milwaukee.

MILWAUKEE, WIS, April Sin a
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 sui
eide that probably ever occurred in
this city. Annie Rosens elm, beau
tiful girl OF sixteen, while sleeping by
the side of her little sisters, was shot
and instantly killed by lsadore Seid.
enbaum, an eighteen-year-old friend
Of the family, who was enjoying their
hospitality, The family occupies the
lower floor of the house. About l:3O
o'clock Morris Rosenstein and his wife
were awakened by the report OF re.
volver, followed quickly by second
shot. Mr.. Rosenstein jumped from
his bed and went into the kitchen fol
n light. Then he noticed that the
door OF the children's room was open
On entering his eyes met horrible
spectacle. With the dead body OF theil
sister beside them, the four other chill
dren in the bed sat up and rubbed
their eyes, ignorant OF the terrible
| deed. Seidenbaum was in his nigh
clothes and lay in fallen position
partially over the body of the muir
dered girl, Both were dead. BlooC
flowed from wound in the side o
the girls head above the left ear an'
from a hole in the breast of the younl

Good Grounds for Believing That He
VIII he Nominated for the
Position.

Speculation as TO the probable sue
cess or of the late Judge Baxter, OF the
United States Circuit Court, was rife
Yesterday among the lawyers and
about the courts, and the theme was
a leading one in the clubs aud at the
hotels. The name OF Col. b. M. Estes
was mentioned everywhere in the
most complimentary terms, and a be-
lief that he will be appointed is geo.
eral. There is probably not a mem
her of the bar who does not indorse
the view already expressed by the AP-
PEAL, and all of the most prominent
LAWYERS are doing more-working like
beavers to secure the appointment OF
Col. Estes, whom they do not hesitate to
saw possesses in an eminent degree the
qualities necessary TO fit him for the
discharge OF the duties OF that high
position. Hundreds OF letters have
been forwarded from various portions
of the State in bis behalf. Lste yes

position at the bar for twenty years or
more, rising at orce into prominence
when he resumed practice here imme-
diately after the close OF the war; al
which time Howell +. Jackson, now
United States Senator, became his law

until 1874. During port on OF the

President MADDEN and Secretary
Pullen Yesterday removed lock, stock
and barrel from their cramped quarters
in the Court House to the new City
Hall. The move was precipitated by
an intimation from the county that

would be required, though when
all preparations for removal were
made, an offer to furnish rooms free
was made. Those who have not had
occasion TO visit the receiver at the

would hardly recognize the place
now. Four Offices, having Windows
opening on Center alley, have been
gorgeously fitted up, paper Of an orr
