COLUMBUS, o., May l.-Robert Town
send, a amulatto, who was received at the
penitentiary from Lucas county three
years ago on fifteen years sentence for
assault to kill, committed suicide last
night in a most shocking manner, and
in the presence Of Warden Coffin and
Warden.elect Dyer. Townsend was en-.
ployed in the administration building as
a cook for the Warden's family. He was
about % years old, OF very light color and
good.looking, and he had made partial
conquest Of female convict, who was
also employed in the administrative
building. He made her his conlidant,
and she worked his ruin.
Townsend had laid plan to escape.
He secured some coloring material and
and dyed prison suit brown. This
suit he intended to put on under bis
uniform and then walk out, his position
in the Warden's house making this pos.
slble. But he told the female convict,
and she unbosomed herself to Warden
Coffin. About half,past o'clock Messrs.
Collin and Dyer went upstairs to Town
sends room. He was in the act OF at-
titing himself in the dyed suit. Warden
Coffin remarked: "This is pretty bad
business, Townsend" The convict saw
he was discovered, butanswered coolly
II suppose it is all up with me. Well,
you'll not keep me here, anyway" Be.
fore bis purpose could be known he
stepped to shelf at the side Of his
room, snatched from it an old razor, and
before the eyes OF the Mortified Wardena
cut his throat from eur to eur. He died
in less than ten minutes.

men carpenters OF this city went on Il
strike this morning as they previously
announced they would do. Their dc.
mand is for nine.hour working day
with pay at thirty.fve cents an hour.
The present union rate Of wages is thirty
cents per hour. A majority OF the mas.
ter carpenters ut meeting Tuesday
night decided TO resist the demands OF
the men for an increase. A few, how.
ever, including John Wanamaker, who
employs sixty men, and Allen b. Borke,
prominent carpenter who has l75 men
on his rolls, notified their men several
days ago that beginning to-day their
wages would be increased to So Is per
day. Over 500 are thus affected.
Atthe carpenters headquarters all was
confusion this morning. The strikers
had been ordered to report early, and
from till noon continual stream OF
men, a number OF them carrying their

local brotherhood, declared that all the
union men had struck as ordered this
morning, and with them great many
non-union men. He was unable as yet
to say how many men were Affected by
the strike, but he roughly estimated that
in the neighborhood OF 5000 men are
out.
Six master carpenters employing two
hundred hands, after holding out until
noon conceded the demands OF the men.
The reception OF this news ut the head
quarters Of the strikers causing great
deal Of rejoicing and strengthened the
belief OF the men that they would win
the strike. In adition to these another

he smilingly replied that be had not any

event he would never retire under the
fire OF tue enemy. Some months ago he
had concluded to resign in order to
relieve himself OF the labor it i'm

vote to his official and private business,
but now ne would not be permitted to
take step that would at this time be
so gratifying to the Democratic leaders.

Fnilurc.
New YoRK, May 1.-The New York
city and worldwide demonstration to-
night, was not great success as far as
members who paraded and who attended
the Union Square mass..meeting was con-
cerned. The threatening weather may
have kept many away. Probably not
more than 1000 people were at the
speakers stand at one time. In the
procession that preceded there were
about 500 paraders. 1t was not the
meeting that the labor leaders expected,
$4,000 men, but the rain partly excused
this apparent want OF enthusiasm. The
meeting was under the auspices of the
Socialis,ic Labor party. The fear
that there might be some trouble
had induced the police to
make very careful precautions.
IN the shadows behind the combine
ton cottage and speakers stand were
fifty blue coats with long night sticks,
really to curb any lncipient disturbance,
Several hundred policemen were in the
neivhborhood. But the police had no
excnse to use their weapons, for tho
t,rnins OF the Marseillaise did no more
thun stir up some enthusiasm.
Resolutions were adopted by the
meeting reciting the fact that the day
Ind i;ecn fixed by the American Fedora

eight hour movement; that the interna-
tional labor congress a. Paris last July
had ISSUED such call TO tho working

rary relief from tho workings Of
