Labor Strikes at Muslxegon.

MUSHROOM, Mich, May 24.--Twenty
bricklayers employed on Muskegon's
new court house struck yesterday and
work on the building is almost at a
standstill. Some weeks ago the build

whereas their rules require he should
be. The committee replied declining

while Millen did unless they threw up
their charter, and they did not want to
do that. ......

PARIS, May 24.-The Figaro to-day
relates a story Of horrible murdef
which Is exciting great public interest.
The names are not given, but If the de.
tails printed in the Figaro are true
they cannot long be concealed. The
story is that the wife of a government
official holding an important position
had long suspected her husband OF
intimacy with the wife OF
prominent deputy, whose name
has been frequently mentioned in
connection with measures OF
national Importance. The wife is
known to be woman of high temper,
and the tragedy THAT resulted is not a
surprise to those who have met her.
She got an intimation in some way that
her husband and the woman who had
captivated his affections might be
found ut 33 Rue Durecher The wife
went there alone last night. armed
with q revolver. She succeeded in pass
ing the porter of the building without
arousing suspicion, and proceeded at
once to the room which, as proved, was
occupied by the guilty couple.
EaThe husband was taken utterly by
surprise and neither he nor the woman
had an opportunity to- escape. The
wife poured out n flood Of abuse
on the guilty woman, charging
her both with betraying her own
she loved. The wretchcd woman
covered in a cerner and WAS too
stricken with shame to utter % word OF
reply. The fury of the deceivef wife
increased and drawing a revolver She
fired shot after shot direct into the
woman's body. tkk FE
The husband, when his wife drew
the revolver, thought it was intended
for him and dashed out of the room,
leaving his companion attho mercy of
the Infatuated wife. The latter did not
cease firing until five bullets were
lodged in the victims body, when, See
ing that her prey was not yet dead,
she drew dagger and stabbed her
repeatedly. The blood from the
wounds spurted over the, murderess
until sh presented as CORY an appear
ance as the expiring victim. When
people who heard the struggle came
into the room the dying woman could
not speak, but expired in IL few min
utes The police were called and the
murderess taken to prison. 1t is
said that she had reserved one bullet
in the revolver for herself.
The husband will undoubtedly be
dismissed from the government service
and the trial of the murderess prom
Uses to disclose a great deal about the
