NEW YORK GROCER

Kills His Wife and Two Children With q
Ratchet, Then Puts a Bullet Through His
Brain.
NEW YORK, Jan. 1S.-John Matthews,
retail grocer, some time between
last Saturday night and Monday morn
ing, murdered his wife and their two
children, boy ten years old and a
girl twelve, by hacking them to death
with Ratchet. Matthews then com.
mitted suicide by shooting himself in
the head. Before dying it is
believed that he turned on the
gas with the intention that as
phyxiation should complete his
murderous work. The crime was COM
mitted in a small bedroom in the rear
of the store kept by Matthews. The
wife and her two children met death
while asleep. 1t is supposed that Mat
thews had become respondent from Pc
cuniary difficulties.
The tragedy was discovered through
the odor of escaping gas, which
prompted a milkman making his
rounds early Monday to call a police
man. On the floor of the sleeping
room the officer found the corpse of
| Matthews. In his hand was a revolver
and there was bullet hole just above
! his mouth.
There were two beds in the room.
On one of these beds lay Matthews
wife. Her head was chopped and
mangled almost beyond recognition.
On the other bed the two children lay
side by side. Their faces, too, were
frightfully cut and hacked.
That the murders and suicide were
premeditated was evident Matthews
| had waited until his wife and children
were asleep. Then he stripped himself
| to the waist, took the Ratchet and
! Drained his wife. OAfter that he at
tackled his children. From letters left
| it was ascertained that for some time
| Matthews had been intending to end
! his own life He had been in the dry
! goods business further up town and
! had failed. A few months ago he
! opened the grocery store and had met
with little success. His wife, pretty
little woman, had recently undergone
a severe operation. 1t was these things
evidently that prompted Matthews tC
write this letter which was found open
and unaddressed:
ut is terrible thing have to do tc
keep my word. promised that al
shall 60 with me, and delay is no good
If could only have died alone. 1 love
my wife and two children. l told them
[ did not want to go in any business
that my mind was gone and 1 guess
that my nerve is all that is left. Fol
five years we have talked the thing
over. I always wanted to go out in {
/ boat and accidentally capsize. 1 knew
that otherwise 1 would have a hare
time of it"
From letter left by Mrs. Matthews
TO a friend it was gathered that she
was party to a suicide agreement.
Mrs. Matthews left instructions a:
to the clothes in which the dead chill
dren should be buried and signified the
place of interment for the entire fam
lily as Highland, N. Y. Matthews wa.
30 years old.

Third DAY
OF the Coal Operators and Miners Join
Conference.

CHICAGO, Jan. O.-Wednesday's ses-
sion of the interstate joint conference
of bituminOus coal operators and min
ers was enlivened by an attempt on the
part of the Illinois operators to have
committee of 81 miners of this state
appointed to meet a like number of
operators and arrange a scale of diff
ferentialS. The session began with a
full attendance, but no report was pre-
sented by the scale committee, and
they were granted further time. Chair
man Sweet, of the committee, inform
ed the convention that nothing of
definite nature had transpired in the
committee, and that none of the ques-
tons discussed had been put to a vote.
Chairman Dalzell, of the Illinois OPP
orators, then presented a motion that
the Illinois miners be permitted to
name committee of p to meet the op-
orators and agree upon differentials in
the state. The operators, he said, had
agreed upon a basis of differentials
and in order to facilitate action in the
convention he proposed to have the
locals all ready for the convention.
Differentials seem to be a signal for
discOrI whenever mentioned, and no
sooner had Mr. Dalzells motion been
seconded than a storm of opposition
broke loose from Indiana, Ohio and
Pennsylvania.
President Ratchford supported the
Illinois plan, saying it would facilitate
the working of the convention and
could do no harm.
A motion to table Mr.. Dalzells plan
was put and declared lost under the
rules although it received vote of "a
against -.
Chairman HOlcomb stated that if the
Illinois representatives wished to meet
it was clearly without the pale of the
convention. and that any action they
might take would necessarily need the
approval of the convention.
Mr.. Dalzell thereupon withdrew his
motion, having, as he stated, secured
all he desired, the practical consent OF
the convention for meeting of the
miners and operators in the state.
No other business being presented
the convention took a recess, awaiting
the scale committee A report from
them, however, was not expected Wed
nesday.
The Pennsylvania and Ohio members
of the scale committee did not reach
an agreement Wednesday night but il
is probable that Thursday they viii
agree on a differential of four cents
Pennsylvania wants nine cents anC
the Ohio men are willing to grant four
The feeling is good between the two
states and an agreement Thursday il

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have rumblng
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

may prove combination that will
piock the resumption Of operations in

threatens to stop operations at the
Phillips factory unless Altman is taken

mittee that Ne would have to return to

applied to the other factory and was
refused.
The argument Of the firm Is that as
Altman had arranged to work for the
cunningham factory he had no further
claim against them and his place was
hllled by another. The manufacturers
held a meeting yesterday to consider
the case. and from the testimony pre-
sented to them consider President
