confidently expects that it will last as
long as he remains In business.
The body in question has been in the
very warmest workroom Of his estab-

like flesh of the corpse is totally free

far as learned no one was injured. On
Pearl street. near Meyers avenue.
shower of heavy stones fell upon Brook
lyn car No. 49, smashing the windows and
otherwise damaging the car The. con-
ductor promptly drew his revolver and
fred five shots in the direction whence
the stones were thrown
Three shots were fired through the
windows of a Pearl and Seoyille avenue
ear near the Nickel Plate station on the
West side. ana a little later two rocks
we're sent crashing through the windows
of the same car. NO arrests were made
The troops have been gradually with
drawn from the city during the past few
DAYS until now not more than 500 soldiers
remain. Fear is expressed in many quar-
ters that as a result of this the lawless
element will again resume the outrages
that marked the early stages of the
strike
Chas. c. Trieste, a barber with snop
at No. 345 Jennings avenue. was the first
man to be placed under arrest for taking
part in the boycott. The warrant which
charges violation of the statutory rights

Charles Yager, forty years old, of Brandt.
small manufacturing village, five miles
south of here, murdered his three sn,aili
children early this morning by cutting
their throats and then committed suicide
by the same means. There seems to be
no doubt that the father had gone insane
during the night. For years he was en-
ployed in the chair factory in the town
and was a steady, industrious man.
He was a widower and since his wife's
death had devoted himself to the three
children. Their ages ranged from five
to twelve years. Neighbors noticing thar
no one was stirring about the house this
morning entered the house. The three
little ones lay in bed with their throats
cut and the beds and floor covered with
blood In an adjoining room, stretched on
the floor. was found the body of the
father. Clutched in his hand was raz-
or which he had drawn across his own
throat after killing the children. The
latter had evidently been murdered while
they lay sleeping. Nothing was left to
indicate what had inspired Yager to COM
NIT the crime. other than he became sud-
denly insane brooding over the loss of
his wife and the motherless condition OF
his children
