TRAGEDY DUE TO JEALOUSY
Charles schlegel Murders His Wife and Tries
Suicide.
Husband Was Sixty and the Wife
Twenty Years YOunger-SOn
Witness.

NEW YORK, November 9-Charles Schle-
gel murdered his wife, Caroline, in their
home in East 77th street today by shooting
her hehir the left ear. Death was almost
instantaneous. Schlegei then tried to kill
himself with a shoemaker's knife, hacking
his left arm and causing severe wound.
He was placed under arrest before he could
accomplish his purpose.
A son, Charles, fifteen years of age, is
held as a witness of the fathers crime.
The son says that his mother had been ac-
crsed by his father of being too frequently
in the company of other men. The father.
according to the son, often threatened his
wife Charles is son by former wife of
the man.
Disparity In Their Ages.
The Schlegels lived in rooms in the rear
of the grocery store. Schelegel is sixty
years of age and his wife was twenty years
younger. Neighbors who had heard a dis
turbance in the Schlegels' quarters called
policeman, who entered and found the
sen bending over the body of his mother,
while the husband lay half dead, with his
left wrist and arm badly lacerated and two
bloody knives alongside of him. He was
in the kitchen. Schlegel doggedly refused
to talk about what had happened.
The son said he had arisen about $50
o'clock and had gone into his mother s
room to awaken her. He found her dead.
He did not know what the matter was, and
he ran into the kitchen, not seeing his
father. Then he found his father with two
knives and with his left wrist and arm
siashed several times. The boy said he then
ran TO the door, where he met the milk
mans boy. whom he asked to go for po-
liceman, but the boy did not come back.
He then went back to his mothers ROOM
and in a few minutes the policeman came.
Had Often Made Threats.
The boy said his father had often threat
ened his mothers life The father was a
drinking man and this caused frequent
quarrels at home. He did not know what
precipitated the tragedy of today. but
thought it was one of the usual quarrels.
Charles also said that he found $13 in his
pocket, which he believed his father put
there. The money was not in his pocket,
he said, when he went to bed last night.
Schlegel and his second wife had been
married fifteen years.

SHELTERS WANT BETTER PRICES.
Combination Forming to Fight New
York JObbers.

DENVER, Col, November 9.-The Repub-
lican says: For several days the managers
of all the smelters from Texas to British
Columbia have been comforting together in
this city, with a view to the promotion of
the allied interests of mining and smelling.
There appears to be a unanimous determi-
nation to devise some means, if possible.
to obtain the true market price for their
products, instead of the doctored and in
sufficient quotations now furnished by GER
tain New York jobbers.
I'm the case of lead, for instance, there
is no good reason why the market price in
New York should not be quoted daily at
S4.25 instead of $3.75, and it is believed
that through concerted action on the part
of all the lead smelters justice can soon be
obtained in this important matter.
THE same is true of silver

miners to be held next Wednesday after
neon in this city. Every craft will send

organizations will get together and take ac-
tion.
1t is understood that Wednesdays meet

the craft throughout the state, as it Is
claimed that IL Cinnamon are allowed to
go to work here and elsewhere 1t will only
be a matter of time when mines employing
that kind of labor will be able to undersell
those employing skilled hands. and thus
the price will be again forced down. The
situation here Is looked upon by business
men as most serious. The Chinese Ques-
ton has put an entirely new phase upon 1t.

Busfness In Affected Districts Shows

NEW ORLEANS. La, November 9-At
10 O'Clock this morning one new case and
two deaths from yellow fever were report
ed to the board of health. All interest in
the fever has about died out. The news
papers are paying but little attention to 1t,
confirming themselves to simply the official
bulletins.
From all infected points the same diminu-
ton in the disease is reported and it is ex
pected that the next cold spell will wipe
out the pestilence entirely. Today is bleak
AMI cold. Prospects for a real cold spell
are excellent and in anticipation the mer-
chants throughout the city are preparing
for a rush of business.

CENTERING ON BUSHNELL
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
CLEVELAND, Ohio. November 9.-Anti-
Hanra republicans in this part of Ohio now
understand that Gov. Bushnell is a recep-
tive candidate fer the Senate to succeed
Senator Hanna. In popular political par
lance. 'he is in the hands of his friends
The governor has been non-committal on
the subject of Mr.. Hanna's candidacy since
the election. Democratic leaders Of Ohio
are reported to lave met in Columbus last
week and decided to throw the support of
enough democratic members Of the gen.
eral assembly to Gov. Bushnell to insure
his election to the Senate. This pledge was
made by democrats on the condition that
the anti-Hanna people should be able to
swing enough votes to elect Gov Bushnell.
Republican leaders here are worried over
the rumors which have been circulating
with increasing frequency since election
day concerning the intentions of some of
the republican legislators-elect to vote
against Hanna All Of these rumorS have
more OF less foundation in fact. 1t is now
said the republicans will caucus before the
time for voting. in order to bring into line
the refractory members. No caucus was
held when Foraker was elected two years
ago, but there was then much larger ma
tor.ty OF joint ballot.
Would Precipftate n Rupture.
The open hostilities between the Hanna
and anti-Hanna people would be precip-
itated when the latter refuse to attend the
caucus. 1t is not thought that they would
dare go into the caucus and then refuse to
stand by the nominee of that body BY re-
fusing to be present, however, they can
maintain the position that they are in no
way Instructed or pledged to vote for
Hanna
While Senator Hanna and Colonel Chas
Dick profess to have no fear at the same
time they cannot certainly be pleased with
the situation in the delegation from this
county. Not one of the three McKisson
members has openly and frankly stated
since the election his intention to vote for
Hanna On the contrary, each one of them
has studiously avoided giving direct an
swer to questions. The published inter-
views with these gentlemen show that
there is dangerous ambiguity in their
replies 1t may be stated. however, that
Mr.. Hanna has no fears for his ultimate
triumph, but that his friends are a little
nervous.

MIR. Gustave Beutelspacher. foreman at

new post of duty.

York today. He announced that he was
