AN ACTOR KILLS AN ACTRESS.
A Philadelphia Hotel the Scene OF
the Tragedy.

the IraEcuy.
Philadelphia, Feb. 1z-Madge Yorke.
aged % years, member of Charles f.
Blaney's Baggage Cheek company, was
shot and almost instantly killed in a room
at Seeiss hotel tonight by James b. Cen
try. an actor.
After doing the shooting, Gentry es-
capped and has not yet been arrested
Gentry is said to have been engaged to
be married to Miss Yorke and 1t is sup
posed jealousy was the motive for the
crime.
About 915 tonight Gentry called at
Seeiss' hotel and inquired for Miss Yorke
He was told that she was in and asked to
send his name to her room. He declined
to do this and said that if they would
tell him where the room was he would go
to 1t himself. This he did and when he was
told to enter, in response to his knock he
found Miss Yorke and another actress Of
the company, Miss Lilly Clark, in the
room together. Miss Yor1e was fully
dressed, as if to 20 out, and she presented
Gentry to Miss Clark.
He took no heed of the Introduction, and
turning to Miss Yorke, said: "Why didn't
you meet me?" and then without another
word, he began to fire at her with re-
volver. Just how often he shot at her is
not known, but three bullets went through
her head and one through her arm. Miss
Clark screamed with fright and Gentry
rushed from the room, and either made
his escape by the stairs or went down
fire escape leading from a window in the
hallway, but he was not seen to leave
the house.
An ambulance was hastily summoned
and Miss Yorke was taken to the hospital,
but she died shortly after being admitted
there. The girl lived with her parents, at
1863 West Seventy-ninth street, New York
city, and she is said to have been in that
city to-day and returned this afternoon,
but some of the members of the company
deny that she was out of Philadelphia
to-day. Gentry came from New York
this afternoon, and probably went direct
ly to Seeiss' hotel.
Miss Yorke filled one of the minor sing
ing parts in the Baggage Check COM
pany and was a member at one time of
the Marie Tempest Company and the
Casino Opera Company.

N EIGHT HOUR DAY DEMANDED.


70 strike.
New York, Feb. 17.--Another strike is
expected to take place tomorrow. when
some 100 electrical workers will stop
work. The men are members of the
knights of Labor. The trouble between
the men and their employers. who com
pose the Electrical Contractors Associa-
ton, is the demand on the part of the
men that eight hours shall constitute
days work, instead of nine as at present.
The Electrical Contractors Association
held a meeting yesterday and refused to
entertain any proposal from the men
IN relation to shortening the hours
of labor until May Is, at least. Both sides
are determined. and the result may be
one of the biggest strikes that has ever
taken place in the building trades of this
city. Not only will it include the cleo
7rical workers, but all other trades as
we'll, if the bosses try to fill the places
OF the electrical workers with non-union
men.
The Central union at meeting held
to-day agreed to call out every union me-
chanic in the building trades if necessary.
should this be done, work will be brought
10 a standstill on a number of large
buildings now in course OF construction in
this city and Brooklyn.
