MURDER AND SUICIDE.
Disclosed by Fire In u Dressmals
Apartment.

--
disclosed by Fire In Dressmaker's
Apartment.
Salem, Mass, April 9.-What the
police believe TO be a murder and
suicide was disclosed to-day, when
those who responded to an alarm of
hre, given for slight blaze in the
apartment occupied by Miss Josephine
Manning, dressmalSer, buret into the
room. The fire was in folding bed.
On the bed lay the dead body Of Miss
Manning, while across its foot James
Flynn, who had been keeping company
with her for some time, was writhing
IN pain, from a bullet wound, and
gasping for breath. He died before a
physician could reach the place.
The fire, which probably resulted
from a flash from pistol among the
bed clothes, was extinguished before
any serious damage had been done.
Flynn was widower about 30 years
OF age. Tho woman was 2S. The oc-
cupants of the house do not know at
what time Flynn called last night, but
state that he had been in the habit of
visiting Miss Manning very frequently.
Lodgers state that they heard the re-
ports of a pistol shot at about A O'Clock
this morning, but did not investigate
the matter. This evidence is thought
By the police to confirm the theory that
Flynn shot the woman and then killed
himself. Three shots were fired, two
of which penetrated the woman's head,
while the third, directed against the
skull OF the man, pierced his brain.
The revolver, a pack of cards and a
pocketbook were found on the bed.

RESULTS OF THE STEEL POOL.

A Leading Producer Saws That II win Close
Down Every rin-piate Mill In the Country.I
A recent dispatch from Pittsburg,
Pa, is us follows
Z. ii. Laufmgn, "A leading tin-plate
producer, asserts that il the new steel
manufacturers' pool holds together for
90 days, 1t will result in closing down
every tin-plate mill IN tho country.
There are between 35 and 40 of the
plants, and nearly all were started dur
ing the last five or six years. The
black plate from which the tin Ia
made comes from steel billets, which
are advancing as result Of tho meet
ings in New York. The tin plate manu-
facturers say they cannot afford to pay
more for steel and compete with the
Welsh manufacturers, who are now
underselling them.
Quotations on the black plate used
by tin-plateN manufacturers have
been advanced about 80 ton, in keep
ing with the advance of billets to SIC
which was made several days ago.
Curiously enough, the competition now
Is not between the Welsh and the
Americans, but between American
manu- facturers themselves 1T is as,
pUitpt ~ VIZ Ilhlluldtluibib tuhl INT
new firms in tho business are running
at a loss and have sold tin-plate al
lower prices than it can be imported
for. A difference of about S3 ton In
the price of billete, from which tn,
black plates for timing are rolled, will
change all this and enable the Welsh
manufacturers to sell their goods here
provided that the steel pool hold
together long enough to tire tho Ameri
cans of running at loss in the hope o
better things. Before the formation
of tho pool the prices ON billets wer,
very nearly the same in Great Britain
and this country. 1t is believed tina
the advance and the difference in tn
labor cost of rolling black plate il
Wales will soon make difference o
So ton against the Amerian producer
MIR. Laufman, however, does not be
lieve the pool will be a success Tn
desire to get the best of each other. h
says, is 80 strong among the manu-
facturers that they will not long han

Two regiments revolted and, at a

must have been wiped out OF existence.
Not a soldier lived to tell if the maya
zine went off by accident or designedly.
All within hundred yards of the
magazine were killed by flying shells
The story Of the mutinv is told by
those who watched it from distance
Besides an immense quantity of shells

case. Two theories are advanced. One
is that Hitch attempted to kill the

other is that the husband Of the woman
came suddenly upon them and did the
shooting. Stamps and his wife had
had trouble and separated. Hitch had
been paying attentions to the woman.
