DEED OF A WOMAN.
Mrs. Engman Cuts Her Wrist
With a Razor.
TEEN JUMPS INTO THE RIVER.

Commits the Desperate Act While Her
Children Are Asleep Her. Body r sing
Found In the River Today at the End
of u Rope.
Mrs. John Eugmar, a woman re-
siding at the loot VI Seventeenth
street in Moline. committed suicide
in a most singular and cold blooded
manner sometime during last night.
Her body, around which she had
tied a rope which she had attached to
a barge before making the fatal leap,
was taken from the river near her
home this morning.
The cause of Mrs. Engman's des-
perate act is unknown, though it is
supposed to have been the result of
worry over reports which had been
circulated concerning her morality.
She resided with her two sons.
Charles and Robert, aged IS and IL
respectively, and took in washing
with which to gain LIVELIHOOD
When the boys arose this morning
their mother was absent. They fin.
ally came across half flied basin OF
blood, alongside of which lay a
stained razor. This gave rise to the
suspicion that something was wrong.
Death Came Too slow.
1t is thought Mrs. Engman first
tried bleeding to death. having cut
her wrist with the razor, and let her
gore drip into the basin. But this
was too slow. So she tied a rope abou,
her body and attaching it to barge
in the river. jumped in and ended
her life.
Deputy Coroner L.V. Eckhart con
Quoted an inquest over the remains
and a verdict of suicide was returned

THOMAS DIVERS TRIAL.
Man Who Stole Cloth TryinE to Prove
His Iunocence.

Man Who Stole Cloth Trying to Prove
His Iunocence.
The case Of the people against
Thomas Oliver. charged with steal
ing two pieces of cloth from Zim-
mer's store last May, which was be-
gun yesterday afternoon. was con-
cluded today. The defendant, who
was represented by Messrs. Looney
and Mckaskrin, attempted to show
ov Messrs. Hoppe, Dixon and Englin
that the cloth taken was not OF the
value of SIS, and thus attempt to re-
duce the offense to petit larceny, and
then went On the stand himself as q
witness and protested that he did
not take the cloth; that it had been
given to him by one OF his pail.
This plea is so often made by crimi-
nails that it is getting threadbare.
But it is not without distinguished
precedent; in fact, holy writ says
that. Adam when accused by
his Maker of the theft of the forbid
den fruit replied: Not l, twas the
woman did give to me and did eat. -
1t is often very effective plea end
sometimes, where as in this caseUthe
goods were found on the defendant,
the only defense that can be made.
The states attorney made q very
thorough cross examination of the
defendant, but did not seem to make
much out of him. The speeches were
all made before the adjournment of
court at noon, and the jury were
charged upon the reconvening OF
court.

Beidune Hill Tells Why Quincy and St.
Joe Went Under.
Base ball is on the "hog" in the
Western association and it is antici-
pated that other clubs will follow 10
the footsteps of the Quincy and St.
Joe aggregations before the fading
of another moon.
The Cedar Rapids team passed
through today enroute for Peoria.
George Mutton, who played with
Rock Island in 1892, and Beldune
Hill, whose work on the third bag
for this city when it was in the
Western association two years ago
won him a warm spot in the of all
enthusiasts of the game. were along
the former being an umpire while
Hill is holding down his old position
at third. "ihings are pretty tame
this season." said Hill. land l wonld
not be surprised to hear Of moro OF
our clubs going to pieces any day
now. All the clubs are playing good
ball, but enthusiasm has sort of gone
to sleep for this year. The attendance
has been very poor and that's what
made Quincy and St. Joe throw up
the sponge. But brighter times are
coming, as think next season will
be good for the base ball business.
You know interest in most every
kind of sport dies out for time;
but it is bound to wake up again"
Al Mauck, who pitched for Rock
Island in 1894, was with the St. Joe
team when it "busted." He passed
through the city on his way to join
| the Des Moines club.

The Bakers Union Did II.

The Legislature of New York,
of 1895, passed a law for better
sanitary provisions in the bake
shops of that city, and prohibit
ing more than ten hours labor
per day. n number of factory
inspectors were appointed to
especially enforce this law.
The last Legislature, that of
1896, amended the law in many
salutary respects, chief among
which are those to insure suf-
ficient ventilation, prohibiting
bakeries in acellar or basement,
prohibiting further that no per-
son be permitted no sleep in the
bake shops; also, providing
that a certificate shall be con-
spicuously posted, stating that
the bakery has been duly in
speCted by the factory inspec-
tor. The new provisions of the
law go into effect July 1, 1896.

The Socialist abor party represents

wage working class against the
capitalistic system by which the
workers are oppressed and exploit
ed. Its ideal is the cooperative
in which the
means reproduction shall he owned
by the people who use them, not by
class of parasites, and in which
each worker shall get the whole
product of his labor. TO bring
about this condition the Socialist
Labor Party carries on a straight
forward campaign, turning neither
to the right nor the left, making no
compromise with misleaders, grant
ing no concessions to the enemy,
satisfied to advance slowly on the
right path rather than to 90 swiftly
on the wrong one. 1t is the foe of

your intention to the secretary, and
pay the dues, ten cents month IRE
