from Duluth and went to work to un-
load her. All went well till the noon
hour, when crowd of strikers appeared
on the dock and asked that they be al

vessel. They were satisfied to have a
committee of three visit the Workmen
or to have like number from the YES

all been drawn aboard the vessel, and
neither request was granted. The strik-

run out and the men filed down amid
much cheering. No further attempt
was made to-day to disharge the cargo

coal aboard. At the Lehigh dock there
is no stir. No attempt has been made
to unload either of the three vessels at

though correspondents in some sections

pearance, the general averages OF con-
dition show decline in all the states
covered by correspondents save Michi-

and 10 per cent below the average con-
dition May l, 1889. In eighteen coun-

ROCHESTER,. Minn., April 29.-Do-
nestle and financial troubles resulted
in a sensational murder and suicide four
miles northwest of this city this evening.
The victims are Richard Sntke, Ger
man farmer, and his three-year-old boy.
The news was brought into this
city at s o'clock tonight by
Snitke's hired man, who tells the fol-
lowing story: To-day, after dinner,
Snitke went to the house of his father
in-law, William HaleDg, where his wife
was staying, got his three-year-old
child, and returned home during the af-
ternoon. At o'clock the hired man
returned from the field, and after
stabling his team and doing some
other chores went into the house
for supper. He was horrlied
to find Sntke and his little boy lying
dead on the bed. The man made no in
veStigation, and does not know by what
means they came to their death, but in
stantly fed from the house, mounted
horse, alarmed the neighbors and came
into town to notify the coroner, who has
gone out to view the bodies, and an in
QuOSG Will U6 HSlu Ill Iue IHOIulllS.
Snitke was thirty-fve years old,
and was born near Pommerania
Prussia. He came to this country in
1882. He was at one time an officer in
the German army, and there is good
reason to believe that he was for some
reason fugitive from the Fatherland.
In 1884 he married Miss Amelia Haleng.
Their married life was very unhappy,
the wife several times going home for
time to live with her folks. Those who
knew them say their troubles were ow-
ing largely to the intermeddling Of
the wife's mother. About a year
ago Mrs. Snitke became confirmed
invalid. This, together with the death
of their oldest boy and financial troubles
and other misfortunes, made matters still
worse. About week ago Mrs. Snitke
was taken to her parents home to
die, taking her only remaining child
with her. Since then Snitke and
the hired man have been keeping
house alone. Whether the wife is dead,
or what happened at the house of the
parents to-day that distracted the un-
fortunate fathers brain and caused him
to commit his terrible deed cannot be
learned tonight. Snltke was very in
duStriOuS and intelligent man and
good citizen in every way.

ELECTRooUTloN Is CRUEL.
The Ground on Which the Writ
Issued

4 UTICA, N. z, April 29.-Clerk Doo-
little this evening put the seal of the
court upon the Kemmler writ and it
was sent to Auburn. The petition upon
which the writ was granted urges that
the statute of this state under which
Kemmler was to have been electro
cuted is in conflict with the
constitution of the United States
in that the punishment i'm
posed thereby is cruel and unusual, and
in that thereby the said state abridges
the privileges and immunities of him,
the said Kemmler. to be exempted from
cruel and unusual punishment for
crime. Moreover that said statute
is in conflict with the constitu-
ton of the United States in that
the punishment imposed thereby
deprives him, said Kemmler, of
his life without due process of law, not
only in this that the said mode of put
ting him to death is unlawful, but also
in this that the judicial function of fix
ing the time of his de ath is thereby
taken from the court and delegated to
an executive officer or some uncertain
ubStitute upon some underlined unac-
countable cause. The section of the
