A Strike Settled.

BRocKwAYv1LE, Pa, September 0.-The
strike in the Punxsutawney section has been
settled. The men got everything they asked
for. This will no doubt have the effect of
settling the strike on the Erie railroad, as
Superintendent Robertson said last week if
the raise were granted elsewhere, the North
west company would not be behind anybody
in giving the advance. This will have the
almost certain effect of forcing Reynolds
vile and the other sections to follow during
the week. The early victory is a surprise to
everybody.

FAMILY BURNED TO DEATH.
A Mother Thought to Have Deliberately Plan
ned the Destruction Of Herselfand Children.

MILWAUKEE, April Mrs. Margaret
Kinlein and her three children were burned
to death in their home early this morning.
The house is a small two-story frame build
ing, and Mrs. KInlein. with her three chill
dren, occupied the three rooms of the lower
floor. Upstairs an old man named Law
renee Jung lived with his son and two
daughters, and they were awakened about
O'Clock by the smell of smoke, which
soon got up and saw smoke coming from
the lower room. Jung smashed in the win
DOW, but got no response, and then turned
III flre alarm. 1t was an awful sight that
met the firemen, who arrived at the house
soon after o'clock in response to an alarm.
On the lower floor there were three rooms
and in the middle room, the doors of which
had been tightly closed the echarred bodies
OF Mrs kinleIn and two sons, John and
George, aged SIX and four years, respective
~. were found. Later the body of the infant
son, Richard. aged two years, was found in
the basement. n hole having burned through
the floor. through which the body had
fallen. There was every Indication that
the mother had deliberately burned herself
and children TO death They had all occu-
pied the same bed The smoke from the
fire built beneath it had smothered them
all. Mrs Kinlein's body was terribly dis
figured. The clothing and hair had been
burned OFF, and her two feet were nearly
burned. and it was shocking sight that
met the firemen when they had forced their
way into the little room. Mrs. Kinlein's
husband, who was a carpenter. died about
ten months ago, and she supported herself
by taking in washing.

Senator Evarts's Position.
Philadelphia Press

fniauepnla frtSS
If the public reports of the debate in ex-
ecutive session are trustworthy, Mr. Ev-
arts alone approached tenable ground in
his objection. He was one of the Senators
who was criticised by Mr.. Halstead. but he
was adroit and sagacious enough to dis
claim any feeling whatever on this score,
and assumed to place his opposition on
pulsive attributes of Mr. Halstead, and his
vehement denunciations of public men, in
dicated that he is untitled by habit of mind
for the delicate and discreet requirements
of diplomacy, and that it would not be wise
to intrust the great interests of the
government to one whose impetu-
Gus outbreaks had evinced this lack
of judgment and prudence, This was
very shrewd way of putting the objection,
and if it really rested on any solid basis it
would carry good deal of force. But the
trouble with it is that it is imaginary. Mr..
Evarts as advocate might hold one posi-
ton; Mr.. Evarts as judge might hold an
other. Mr.. Halstead as fighting editor
adopts one tone; Mr.. Halstead as a diplo-
matist would adopt another. If Mr.. Evarts
were brought face to face with the direct
question whether he regarded Mr.. Halstead
as really disqualified for any of the require
ments of our minister at Berlin, we suspect
that he would not seriously maintain any
such proposition: and If not, the whole OBJ
lection falls to the ground.
The opposition, however unjustifiable,
has been successful. and Mr.. Halstead's
appointment is defeated. He has less rea-
son to regret it than any body else. The
Senate has most to deplOre in its own ac-
ton, for it has placed itself in false posi-
tion before the country.
