New York, April l6.-The brewery
lockout has begun and more than 5000
brewers, brewery wagon drivers, masters =,
helpers, wagon makers, coopcrs, painters
and apprentices in this city, BROOKLYN.
Jersey City, Newark. Patterson and
Staten Island are ont of work. The finan-
c,al week of the workmen ended at noon
to day. According to the instructions of
the unions, every brewer in every one of
the above named cities returned to work
as usual this morning, and there were few
outward Indications that the greatest lock
out that has ever occurred in this section
OF country would occur in a few hours.
just before noon the proprietors of each
brewery met the men and informed them
that their services were no longer wanted:
that they had unanimously decided to be
their own bosses, and could not submit to
anything dictatorial from their men. How
ever, II the men sought unemployment as
individuals, and ~disconnect themselves
from the unions, they would get work.
The men passed quietly to the cashiers
desks after they had heard what the pro.
prietors had to say, received their weekly
pay and departed. At noon time, accord.
ing to agreement, every brewers door
closed. and business for the time is sus-
pended.

A Possible Double MURDER.

CHEYENNE WELLS, Col, April To-
Word has reached here of a cold -blooded
murder which was committed five miles
north of Burlington and about forty miles
northwest of this point Saturday afternoon
at 3 O'Clock. Two young men from Iowa
were driving in company with a livery
man toward Burlington to locate on some
claims, and as they were passing the
shanty Of an old man named Baker they
were ordered to stop. As they did so the
wife Of Baker told him to shoot, and he,
raising his gun, without a word of warn
ing or explanation, fired at the party of
strangers
The shotgun had been loaded with
buckshot, seventeen of which entered the
back Of f. b. Mcconnell. and three
pierced che lungs of John G. Morrison.
The wounded were taken to Burlington,
and at 9 o'clock this morning they were
alive, but are unquestionably dead by this
time.
Old man Baker was always considered
a quarrelsome fellow. He says he did not
want anybody to drive oyer his land. The
road has been surveyed, but it is
the travelled line in that section.

ment that Senator Stanford's name viii
be urged for the presidency before the

fUrnia has brought out large numbers Of
expressions from papers on the coast.

Wife and Brother-in-Law.

New YORK, April l6.-Fourteen
years ago George r. Simonson, Jr, of
Bergen Point, N. j., married Althea
Birch. They now have n daughter IL
years old. Simonson is now 35 years old
and is one of the wealthiest men in
Bergen Point. Tuesday last he was in
his office in this city when his brother,
Clarence, entered and blurted out, in the
presence of George, the coachman, the
accusation that Mrs. Simonson was un-
faithful to her vows. The husband de-
handed to know what was meant, where
upon Clarence said he himself had been
intimate with his sister ln-law and was
ready to make an affidavit to the effect.
The husband at once called in a notary.
Clarence swore to the affidavit, and then
George demanded that his brother accom-
pany him home and face the accused
woman. Clarence feared to do this, say.
ing that Mrs. Srmonson had threatened
to kill him should he ever reveal their in
timacy. But the excited husband pro-
duced a pistol and threatened to kill his
brother unless he did as requested. The
two brothers, accompanied by a lawyer,
then entered a carriage and started for
the jersey ferry. On the way George
gave way to his rage and furiously as
saulted his brother, backing both his
eyes and cutting his face. The men were
separated by the lawyer, and, on arriving
at their journeys end, were met by Mrs.
%Simonson, a comely woman of 81. Her
husband at once accused her OF infdelity,
upon which she sprang at Clarence,
threw him to the floor and pounded his
already bruised face with her fists. Or
being liberated he ran from the house. Sc
bitter was she in her ~denunciation OF the
brother that her husband believed hel
innocent, but decided to leave the house
until all doubt was removed.
At 6 O'Clock in the evening he returned
for some articles of wearing apparel and
learned that his brother was up stairs.
Going to his wife's room he found him
there, but the intruder fed on seeing his
brother, leaving his clothes behind, Mrs.
Simonson then confessed her guilt, even
declaring that she loved her brother-in.
law better than her husband. She then
left the house, and Mr.. S~imonson, think.
ing she was going home. locked the place
up and returned to the hotel.
On Wednesday he filed suit for a di.
vorce, and in the evening came home tc
find his wife and brother there again.
They had evidently broken into the house
some time during the previous night.
The injured husband administered a sound
thrashing to his unnatural brother, but
allowed his shameless wife to 90 to hcl
home in the neighborhood.

Anderson Of Kansas has introduced a
bill which proposes a new solution of the
Pacific railroad problem. 1t applies to
those roads that remedy for existing evils
in general railroad practice which is pro-
posed by Hudson book on the railways
of the republic. The bill is drawn for,the
purpose OF providing a feasible method
for operating a Pacific road after its ac-
QUESTION by foreclosure of the govern
mcnt's mortgage. a method which shall at
once yield the United States an assured
income on is investment, and also
secure the people against the abuses of
discrimination, pools and monopolies.
FOrthis purpose it enacts that the govern
ment shall purchase the first mortgage
bonds with tho surplus in the treasury in
protection of its own second mortgage,
and, after i~orealosing the latter, that the
road shall be operated as a public high
way and be open TO any carrier of freight
upon the payment of uniform and regu.
lated tolls for the use of Its tracks.
Representative Amos Cummings of
New York to day introduced two amend
ments to the Interstate commerce bill.
The first provides that all contracts be-
tween railroads and transfer of freight
OF passenger traffic shall be public, and
the second prohibits all such t~ransporta-
ton in bond brought through Canadian
territory, as now takes place between San
Francisco and eastern cities, by way of
the Canada Pacific.
