PROBABLY A MURDER CASE.
The Mysterious Death of Farmer In Null
licn Township, N. j.

ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. 15-Yesteriay
Coroner Senft, of Egg Harbor City, was
notified that John Miller, formerly far
mer, living in Mullica township, this
county, had met with strange and tragic
death, and he hurried Immediately to
Miller's house and found him sitting bolt
upright In his bedroom in chair dead,
clutching half loaded revolver in his
hand. He had several bullet wounds in
his face, his cheek and teeth being torn
away.
AT first suicide was suspected, but the
discovery OF compound fracture Of the
skull, coupled with the mute evidence Of
the disordered condition Of tho room,
which plainly showed that fierce struggle
had taken place, led tho coroner to believe
that II murder had been committed. Mrs
Miller was interrogatcd, but answered all
questions in an unsatisfactory way, and
seemed to be laborinS under intense ex-
citement. Prosecutor Perry, who was also
present, recommended detaining the
woman until an inquest could be held,
which tho coroner acceded to, and Mrs.
Miller was placed under arrest.

Three Men Shot in Fight Between
Strikers and Nom Unionists,


CLEVELAND, Aug. 15.-Three men wero
shot and one badly wounded in a conflict
which occurred last evening between a
party of the Brown company strikers and
several non-union men who were going
home from the works. Two of the wounded
men are non-unionists, the third Is u
striker and the fourth spectator.
The names of tho injured are: J. W.
Caldwell, non-union, shot In the thigh
and struck on the head with billy;
George Plumb, non-union, shot through
the abdomen, will probably recover;
Thomas Evans, striker shot in the back,
badly hurt and may die; William Laurey,
bystander, struck in the face with tele-
graph insulator and badly hurt.
The trouble occurred nearly two miles
from the works, at the corner of Wade
Park and East Madison avenue. A num-
Der OF the non-unionists live in that vicin-
tty, and eight or ten Of them were going
home from the works together. Just as
they turned the corner crowd of strikers
who had been in hiding behind n saloon
attacked them. Stones were hurled, and
George Plumb one of the non-unionists.
pulled revolver and fired Plumb was
then shot, Us he claims, by Henry Smell, a
striker.
The firing become general, at least twenty
shots having been exchanged. The fight
lasted but u few minutes, and rs soon as
1t was over the strikers disappeared. The
police had not anticipated any trouble in
that section, and it was some time before
they arrived on the scene and began an
investigation. Ambulanccs took the in
jured men to hospitals or their homes.
The police have arrested J. Fl. Whitlan,
striking machinist, formerly employed
by the Brown Company. Ho was seen to
throw IL revolver, all the cartridges in
which had been fired, through an open
door into II barber shop.
The Brown company strike has been ex-
tended to Pittsburg. The strikers learned
few days ago that the Schaife Foundry
and Machine company, of ,Pittsburg, was
doing work for the Brown company and
sent representative there. He sent back
word yesterday that he would probably
succeed in getting the patternmakcrs,
machinists and iron moulders of the
SChalfe company to strike.

morning Romeo, said to be the largest
male lion in captivity, now quartered at
