MAILMBN OF PARIS !.
ORGANIZE A STRIKE
Postoffce Carriers Decline to
Deliver Letters
A Disastrous Stoppage Of Business
Throughout the City Results.
The Move Regarded by the Cabinet
as That of State Employees De-
flying the Government.

Paris, May 1S.-Business In the postof-
fees is at a standstill this morning owing
to general strike Of the employees. Not
a single postman is on duty. and conse-
quently not letter has been delivered in
the city. The mails are lying In the ofiices
unclassified, and as the sorters and collect
ors struck suddenly the postmasters were
unable to make any provision for deliver
ing the mails.
At the head Offices all business Is stop
ped and already there is disastrous stop
page of much of the business throughout
the city. which, II the strike continues,
may resu t In panic. The strike went into
effect without the knowledge of the gov
eminent.
The strike was due to the refusal OF the
senate to concur in the increase OF the
wages Of the pOstoffice employees. which
was granted by the chamber Of deputies
This increase raised the compensation OF
new employees 200 francs a year, and also
increased the wages OF each class OF en-
ployes in the service 100 francs. The cab
met has decided to order the discharge OF
all postofice employees who do not resume
work by / o'clock this afternoon. The min
istry does not regard the men as strikers,
but insist that as state employees they are
defying the government.

HANGED THOUGH INNOCENT.
Claims of Minister Concerning
Marion Browns Execution.

SAdi"h Oh Mln1hter CONCERNING
Marion Browns Execution.
Toronto. May 1S.-"God forgive US and
God forgive Canada" said the Rev. DIR.
johnson at the hanging OF Marion Brown,
tramp with one leg, at London. Ont, for
the killing OF Policeman Twohey two years
ago. Mr.. johnson went on to protest
against what he characterized as an over
straining of justice" in the case of man
against whom the crime OF murder as de-
scribed by any statute under British law
had not been proved.
Brown opened his heart freely to me
with regard to the crime, and he was as
innocent of murder asJthe birds that 6y,"
said the minister.
Brown was trespassing on railway prop
erty. He knocked down with his crutch a
watchman who ordered him to leave, and
when Twohey attempted to arrest him he
shot the officer. At least. the jury SO de-
cided. An hour later Twohey's body was
found and Brown had escaped. A reward
was offered, and many tramps with wooden
legs were arrested in various parts of
Canada and the United States on suspi-
cion. Finally Brown was found in Seattle
and brought to Canada. Brown alleged
that he was kidnapped from the Seattle
jail and brought to Canada against his will.
His counsel petitioned the Canadian gov
ernmept to move In the matter and also
endeavored to get the American Govern
ment to interfere and demand the return
Of Brown, but neither government would

A GAME THIS AFTERNOON.

Washington and Pittsburg play at Ma

are bright for the Senators to win one, II
not both, Of the games. The record of the
Pirates this season has not been particular

The locals have rounded to, and for the
last two games have put up fair article
of ball. Irwin's youngsters have the ability
to play good game. and should give a
good account of themselves. After two
games with the Pittsburgs the Senators
leave for a long tour Of the West.
The race for the pennant has become
close and exciting, and each day is liable
to bring about change in the respective
positions of the leaders. The Brooklyns
are playing. perhaps. the fastest ball in the
league at present. Casey, who was thought
to be too weak for the Senators. has proven
to be one Of the best third basemen in the
business, and his hitting has won several
games for the Superbas since he Joined
Hanlon's team. St. Louis has kept the po-
sition at the top merely through magnifi-
cent work in the field. and when the Te-
beau tribe meets the heavy hitting clubs
of the East there will be different tale to
tell. Philadelphia, which club made such
a splendid record on its home grounds, has
fallen by the wayside and no longer ap-
pears to be dangerous. Chicago's defeat
by Pittsburg yesterday knocked the Or
phars out of second place. and the Super
bas are now hanging on the trail of the St
Louisans. This years pennant possibili-
ties are all pretty evenly matched. and

Kill Her Aged Husband.
Snow Hill, Nd, May 1s.-Alice Turner,
Samuel Morris, John FELTON,, and Dude"
Field, all colored, of Pocomoke City, were
day afternoon under an indictment charg-
ing them with the murder of John Turner,
the aged husband of the frst-named pris-
oner.
The crime was a most cold-blooded one
and II was nearly month before enough
evidence was secured to justify the arrest
of those now accused. Turner was about
sixty years old and his wife about thirty.
On the night OF December q last Tur-
ners body was found on the public road
near Pocomoke City. His skull was crush
ed and in his throat was a cash about
three inches long and two inches deep.
The indictment charges Morris with hav-
ing dealt the blow which crushed the
mans head and Alice Turner with having
cut her husbands throat. Dude Field
and John FELTON, are charged with being
accompllces. All four are jointly indicted.
They stood in line yesterday just inside
the bar while the clerk of the court read
to them the lengthy document upon which
they will be tried in a few days.
Alice Turner Is a very small woman and
light in color. She wore gold-rimmed
spectacles and was otherwise decorated.
She followed every word Of the indictment
and had rather a defiant air when she said
Not guilty." Morris stood next to her.
He is a large and powerful looking man,
and is said to be one of Alice Turner'S nu-
merous admirers.
