OPPOSITION TO BURNS
GLASS WORKERS AT PITTsBURG RE-
PUDIATE HIS AGREEMENT.
Signs That Point to a Break-Up in the
Ranks OF the WindOw-Glass
Unions Over the Country.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Oct. 1.-THE situation
in the window-glass trade is very much
mixed on the question of going to work,
but the developments of to-day tend to
simplify matters by concentrating the fight
to the ranks of the workers. The indica-
tons tonight are that the strike now on
will be broken by the workers themselves.
"A meeting of the blowers and gatherers,
numbering nearly six hundred, representing
five States, who desire to overthrow the
regime of Simon Burns, held meeting this
evening and it developed that the majority
present was anxious and willing to go to
work. A resolution was unanimously passed
repudiating the Burns addenda to the orig
inal scale as signed by the wage scale COM
mittees of the blowers and gatherers and
the manufacturers two weeks ago. This
action may mean a break from the regular
organization of blowers and gatherers and
prove of vast benefit to the manufacturers.
The deciding fight in the East is now being
made at Hazelhurst, Pa, where the firm
and all of the trades have signed the scale
and all is ready to start up. Simon Burns,
however, has notified the firm that work
cannot be resumed unless the blowers and
gatherers are paid a relative advance over
the cutters and fiatteners.

MURDER AND SUICIDE.
Michigan Man Kills His Insane wife
and shoots Himself.

FLINT. Mich, Oct. Nv. p. Murray, of
Clinton. Ia. to-day shot and killed his wife
Harriet. an incurable inmate of Oak Grove
Asylum, located here. and then committed
suicide. Their bodies were found in a grove
where they had gone late in the afternoon
for walk, each shot through the head. In
Mr.. Murray's pocket was found letter ad-
dressed to the physician in charge of the
institution explaining the reason for his
action. He said the only way to relieve
his wife from her suffering was to kill her,
and that as it was against the law to do so
the only thing he could do was to shoot him
self also. Mr.. Murray left number of
other letters giving minute direction as to
the disposal Of both their bodies, the dis
tribution of his estate and other matters
which tend to show that the crime was done
with cool deliberateness. Mrs. Murray has
been an inmate of the asylum for some
time, and her husband was here to-day on
a visit. The letter explaining his motive for
the tragedy was written while he was
guest at the Russell House in Detroit sew
eral days ago

attend the first meeting of the industrial
commission recently appointed of which he
is member. Concerning the Illinois strike
he said just before leaving here: Gov
ernor Tanner is sworn to guard life and
property of citizens of the State of Illinois.
He is perfectly justified in taking the ac-
ton that he has. The class of men he has
to stand out against are mainly ex-convicts

morally or legally, to import such class OF
people into State to take the places OF men

a good citizen in Illinois who would not up
hold Governor Tanner in the effort he has
been making to keep beyond its borders a
class of people with nothing but criminal
and penitentiary records to recommend
them. l have sent word that all the union
miners who have been killed in the recent
clashes at Pana should be given decent
burial at the expense of the union. We are
in this fight to win and win we certainly

AMUSE MENTS.

Grand-"AlI the Comforts OF Home.-
1t was daring jump OF the Grand stock
company from a Belasco drama to Gillette
farce last night, but the players made the
leap with much grace and no little credit
to stage manager Bellows. "AlI the Com
forts of Home" which opened the stock
cOmpany's second week. was as beautifully
staged as The Charity Ball." and promises
to furnish excellent entertainments The
actors have shaken off entirely their early
nervousness. and the first performance of
TIE new play went with snap and dash
not always seen even after a company has
been on the road q month"; It was really a
great first performance and the audience
warmed I'D to the many fun-making COM
plications In the farce and had little rest
between laughs throughout the four acts.
All tie Comforts of Home is as up-to-
date as IL just written, and its long absence
from this city makes it seem like a new
pay. The carefully selected music for
many OF the situations adds no little to the
successful handling Of the Gillette situa-
tons. 4 httle less biting Of finger nails.

THE VIRDEN RIOT.
Manager Lukens, OF the Coal Com
pany, Examined by the Coroner.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Oct. 1.-THE cor
oner's inquest into the killing of the miners
and guards in the riot at Virden last
Wednesday, was resumed this morning, and
Manager Fred w. Lukens, of the Chicago
Virden Coal Company, was examined. Mr..
Lukens's testimony failed to develop any
thing that has not already been brought
forth. He positively declared from the posi-
ton he occupied on the inside of the stock
ade he had seen the miners fire the first
shots at the train, and that the train guards
did not return the fire until the train had
nearly reached the stockade He went into
detail and told of the differences in the
scale and other matters that led up to the
riot. He denied emphatically that any shots
were fired from the tower from which it
has been claimed that so much death-deal-
ing lead was poured into the strikers on
the outside. His testimony will be re-
sumed tomorrow morning.

Andrew Mack, who is an entirely new
proposition in indianapolis, made his first
appearance at English's last night in the
title role of THE Ragged Earl" No one
has visited this city since the days Of w.
j. Seaman who could imDart such a rich
flavor of romance and Irish comedy to
role as that which defines the character
taken by Andrew Mack in his new drama.
1t has generally been supposed that Macks
speciality was singing Irish ballads, but that
is only a dash of color which he introduces.
A song is heard in the distance, the sweet
tenor notes float in as serenade on
moonlit night, and then the handsome fig
ure of Mack appears From that moment he
is a faNorite. He does not sing his way
through the piece but rushes into the
sympathies of the spectators with his ever
happy art that makes his personality
pleasure to behold and one which nearly al
The touching little love story in which he
figures gives him an opportunity to display
his histrtonic graces 10 admirable advan-
tage. He should become as popular with
the women as Henry Dixie. Mack's role is
brim full of Irish wit and the Ragged Earls
love of fun does not desert him even in the
most trying moments. He may be sur
rounded and overpowered by treacherous
enemies, but he always has a cutting
as his ever-ready sword Mack is destined to
win friends in Indianapolis as he has in
other cities.
''The Ragged Earl is staged with an at
scenery, and the costumes, together with the
characters, are well chosen to assist in lend
ing the proper atmosphere" to the produc-
ton. There is the old Irish schoolmaster,
couple of necessary English lords, and the
retainers and tenents of the two families
who furnish the feud for the thrilling sit
uations. A couple of runaway sisters, one
in boys clothing. of course fall in with the
Ragged Earl and are taken under his pro-
lection Later on he has two fights with
the kinsmen of the disguised girl and ends
the play by marrying her with both families
glad to let the quarrel rest while Mack sings
his my Sweet Maid song with it's popular
Tilt. Annie Ward Tiffany furnishes large
share of the comedy in the role of Sarah
Mchugh, the old servant of the Ragged Earl,
and little child actress, Georgia Florence
dip, was as clever as the grown-up people,
in the part Of one of the runaway sisters.
Josephine Lovett is sufficient as the leading
woman, whether in dresses or disguised as
boy. All the members of Mack's company
are capable and the performance good.
There will be one more performance OF
