smith shop of Joseph Sminll May had
shot his sweetheart and then blew out
his own brains, The murderer and
suicide was blacksmith, and up to the
time Of his death had been employed
by Mr. Smink.
The couple had been lovers for some
time, and last week they arranged to
90 away and be quietly married. The
parents of the young woman objected
to the marriage a9d this caused post
ponement Being thus opposed by the
parents of the girl, the young couple
evidently made up their minds
to end their troubles by dy-
ing together. They met Fri
day night and, it is supposed,
made all arrangements to carry out
their terrible plan The girl left her
home at an early hour and went direct
to the blacksmith shop, where May
was in waiting. The couple went into
the second story of the building. The
first news of the double tragedy was
learned when Mr.. Smink found the
bodies lying side by side, Mays right
hand still grasping an old-fashioned
revolver. lie had blown the girls
brains out and then sent a bullet
crashing into his own head. The bodies
we're still warm when found.

There is a check to the inward sweep Of de
mand in the staple lines noticeable throughout
the country for the past six weeks. The yellow
fever quarantine which extends from Texas to
Georgia. has brought wholesale business to a
practical standStiIl throughout the greater pOr-
tion of the region embraced by the gulf states.
At ceuterS OF distribution in central, eastern

The demand for heavy textile fabrics has
been stimulated by colder weather. and St

will have no effect upon trade at that city. as

iron and steel prices will go higher in She near
future Wool is also higher and wool goods

increased volume OF general trade is also
stimulated by the continued heavy move

THE $3.50, 900 PARK FUND
IT MAY NOT HAVE TO BE REAPPRO-
PRIATED BY COUNCIL.
Mayors Cabinet Holds Its Final Meet
ing for 1S97-NO New Fire
Headquarters.

The final meeting of Mayor Taggart's
cabinet for this year was held yesterday
afternoon. Reports were made by the vari-
Gus departments of the progress of public
improvements, attention being directed to
the fact that the new fire houses and police
stations will soon be ready for occupancy.
There was some talk about the reports that
the fire headquarters building is unsafe, but
the board was informed that the conditions
are no worse than they have been any time
the last twenty years, and it is doubtful if
anything will be done in the way of a new
building.
Controller Johnson submitted report
showing a balance of $751;, 46S.53 in the city
treasury Dec. 20, divided as follows: Park
purchase and labor fund 1865, O17.S3; station
house fund, $42.S2624; police patrol and
equipment, $49,940.47; miscellaneous funds.
$97, 1929.
City Attorney Kern was present and there
was some discussion of the subject of the
reversion of unexpended moneys to the gen
eral fund Jan. 1. Mr.. Kern was inclined to
think that where money had been appro-
priated for specific purposes, like the
amount appropriated for the station house,
for instance, that such sums could be ex-
pended by the board in carrying out the
original idea. Mr.. Johnson has always I'M
derStood the charter to require all money
unexpended to revert to the general fund at
the end of the year, whether appropriated
for specific purposes or not. Mr.. Kern will
investigate the question more fully. The
matter is Of some moment inaSmuch as the
$780, 600 park fund has not been expended.
Mr.. Kern has held that it cannot be divert
ed to any other purpose than the acquire
mont of parks, but If it goes back into the
general fund it will have to be appropriated
again by the Council.

A BALL THROUGH THE LEG.
j. j. Hamburg Accidentally Shot by
Thomas Hamilton.

j. ]. Hamburg, living at 10 Bell street,
was accidentally shot last evening by a re-
volver in the hands of his friend, Thomas
Hamilton, of 1920 Bellefontaine street. The
bullet was from a 3S-caliber revolver and
struck Hamburg in the right thigh, grazing
the bone and making a serious, though not
dangerous, wound. The shooting occurred
in Joseph Heiders drug store, at the cor
ner of Bellefontaine and Twentieth streets.
Heider had Hamiltons pistol Hamilton
and Hamburg had been together during
the afternoon, and on their way home at
night they stopped in at the drug store
so that Hamilton might get his pistol. Hell
der handed it to him and, while the three
men stood together talking, Hamilton be-
gan examining the pistol to see IT the cham
bers were loaded. 1t was discharged and
the bullet struck Hamburg. The smoke
blackened Hamilton's hand and the flash
from the discharge burned him.
Hamburg was removed to his home IN
the wound. The ball went entirely through
the leg and carried a small piece of the
bone with it. DR.. Ridpath gave the wound
a thorough antiSeptic treatment and be-
lieves that the use of the leg will be fully
recovered in time. Hamilton went home,
never thinking that a police investigation
might be made, but at IL o. clock Patrolman
rest and sent him to the police station,
charged with assault and battery with in
tent to KILL Several of his friends were
there before the patrol wagon reached the
jail. prepared to furnish bond for his re-
lease.

STREET-CAR AFFAIRS.
No Importation of Employes-The New
Heaters.

Miller Elliott, superintendent of the Citi-
zens Street-railroad Company, was asked
yesterday concerning reports that motor
men are to be brought here from the East
to take the place of men who are regarded
as careless and unsatisfactory by the COM
pany.
There is not word of truth in that
statement" said Mr. Elliott. This is the
first 1 ever heard of such a thing. The
story is absolutely without foundation.

The men here are as careful and competent
as those in Philadelphia or any other place.
AS a matter of fact we have dismissed one
of two men who were in our employ that
came from the East, as they We're not re-
table,
Mr.. Elliott explained that they have men
coming and going like any other concern,
some of whom are unsatisfactory and have
to be dispensed with.
Concerning the heating apparatus in the
street cars Mr.. Elliott said there had been
some trouble on account of one of the large
machines breaking down. You have no
idea said Mr.. Elliott, how much power
it takes to run those heaters. l have not
estimated the subject closely, but L believe
it takes about 600-horSe power more to run
the cars day with heaters than it would
without them" When the break is repaired
Mr.. Elliott does not anticipate so much
trouble.

POOR CHlLDREN'S CHRISTMAS.
Plans for the Salvation Army's Cele-
bratiOn.

The Salvation Army of this city will give
the poor children a Christmas celebration
Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock. 1t will con-
sist of Christmas tree, with appropriate
services, and distribution of substantial
gifts and luxurieS. The affair will take
place in the army's hall, in the west room
Of the Cyclorama building None but the
children of poor parents and the street ur-
chins will be permitted to receive any of
the presents, but arrangements are being
made to provide for about two hundred of
these. Donations for the purpose are being
chiefly relied on, as the army has no fund
to draw on for the purpose. Donations of
clothing, fruits, nuts and other articles are
being received at the hail.. A good deal has
already been contributed, but great deal
more is needed
The Christmas tree will be exhibited
Thursday night, and there will be an enter
tainment, to which an admission fee of 10
cents will be charged. The, money thus
raised will go to making the children
Christmas pleasant. Again on Friday night
and Saturday night there will be holiday
entertainments at the hal, in which some
good talent will participate.

THE QUART SHOP DECISION.
Wholesale Dealers Placed in an En-
barrassinE Position.

The Wholesale liquor dealers of the city
are in a state of uneasiness on account of
the recent decisions of the Appellate Court
on the quart-shop law. Under the courts
ruling it appears that any dealer selling
less than five quarts of liquor at a time
without retailers license is rendering
himself liable to prosecution under the act
of 1897. AS the wholesalers frequently sell
smaller quantities than five quarts to their
customers, question whether they are vio-
atng the law forms a serious matter for
discussion among them.
Col James r. Ross said last evening that
the court had placed the wholesalers in an
embarrassing position, but that he did not
think IL was the intent of the trainers of
the law to make IL apply to those doing a
strictly wholesale business There are
eleven wholesale establishments IN the city.

SEYFRIED'S ASSIGNMENT.
Attorneys for a New York Firm In
Vestigating.

Attorneys for H. Marquardt Co., of
New York. are pursuing an investigation in
relation to the recent assignment of Henry
Seyfried. A number of witnesses were ex-
amined in the Circuit Court yesterday as
to certain transfers of securities made by
Seyfried shortly before his assignment.
Marquardt & Co. claim Seyfried is indebted
to them for about $4,000 worth of cement,
which he purchased while carrying out his
street Improvement contracts.
J. M. Martens, who holds Seyfrieds notes
for considerable sum- was one of the
witnesses yesterday He testified he had
loaned Seyfried money from time to time
without security. These unsecured loans,
he said, amounted to about $780, He final
ly took security in the shape of a mort
gage. Before turning over his business to
an assignee, Seyfried assigned his assess
ment rolls on street Improvement work to
Martens. The latter said Seyfried owed him
between $4,000 and $4,000 when the transfer
was made
