cH1cAGo's MURDER MYSTERY.
The Police Claim to Have Uncovered
the slayer of Miser Meier.

The lOI1ce ~
the slayer of Miser Meier.
Chicago, June 26-The police claim to
have discovered the identity of the MUIR
derers of miser Martin Meier, who was
robbed and then murdered in his home on
the night of Monday. June 5. From in
formation received through man whose
name the police refuse to reveal, 1t was
learned that the crime was committed by
Frank, alias Matt" Smith and Coffee"
Brauer, alias Sigmond Brock. old-time
criminals, who were released from the
city prison few days before the murder.
Smith and Brauer intended only to rob
the aged miser, and left him gagged and
bound. believing that he would soon be
found and released. Contrary to their ex-
pectations, nobody discovered Meier's con-
dition for four hours. and he probably died
in great agony. Smith and Brauer left
Chicago the day the murder was discov-
cred, and went to Michigan. The informant
of the police claims to have heard from
them once since they left Chicago. He
says they told him beforehand of their in
tention to rob Meier, and afterward they
told him they had committed the robbery
and got only $1S for their trouble. Chief
Ripley believes he has positive clew to
the murderers, and has sent detectives to
Michigan to locate them.

MASTER PLUMBERS
Held a Special Meeting Last Night
to Discuss Matters.
Many Applications For sNunt.ons
Being Received by sIafi-Union
Journcymcn Dnins Work and lny
start n Co-Operntiyo shop,

The Master Plumbers Association of
Norfolk held special meeting last
night, behind Chased doors, and refused
to divulge any of the proceedings. 1t is
understood. however. that this meeting
was caused by the strike of the jour
neymen plumbers.
Secretary LAWYER. of the master
plumbers. stated that an advertisement
for plumbers has been placed in 1.-The
Metal Worker" Il leading trade paper,
and the Philadelphia Inquirer. AS q re-
suit of this, and perhaps of the fact
that the news OF the strike in Norfolk is
spreading, the master plumbers are re-
ceiving dozens of applications for sit
nations. Jos. ]. Lawlcr & Co, yesterday
had q total OF - applications for posi-
tons, and Mr.. Carey also had Il large
number.
1t is intlmated that the master
plumbers are not unanimous on the
subject of employing non-union labor
and that some OF them will oppose en-
ploying non-union men.
Some of the journeymcn plumbers of
the city are working on their own ac-
count. and state that theS cav Get what
materials they need. All of .hc striking
plumbers are receiving funds from their
national organizations. IL the matters
at issue are not soon adjusted the
journcymen may open cooperative
shop in this city.
Last evening the journeymen found
n newly arrived plumber in search of
work. After Il conference lie consented
to leave Norfolk, and went to Newport
News.
The next regular meeting of the Mas
ter Plumbers Association will be held
on the second "Wednesday of this month
1t is intimated that business of great
Importance connected with the strike
will be considered at that meeting, If
the strike is not off before that date.
Work is said to be piling up on the
plumbers on account of the strike. Some
of the master plumbers of the city are
not seeking for much new work. as
they are not in n position to handle It.

That the Virsinian-Pilot's report that
the circumstances attending the crime
in Princess Anne county and the i'm
pending danger of lynching, were
greatly exaggerated. is borne out by

JURY PLACES NO BLAME ON ROAD
IN CASE OF MRS. LAMBERT.

The coroner's Inquest in the case Of
Mrs. Sallie Lambert, the former ma
tron of the almshouse, who died at st.
Vincent's Hospital from injuries re-
ceived by n train on the Norfolk, Vir-
glnia Beach and Southern railway last
Sunday, was held last night at the
high constable's office. The verdict of
the jury was that Mrs. Lambert's death
was caused by the injuries as stated No
blame was attached to the railroad or
anyone.
Mr.. Lee, the gentleman with whom
Mrs. Lambert was driving when the ac-
cident occurred. was among the wit
nesses sworn, as was also the engineer
on the train which ran into the buggy.
The evidence given by the witnesses
differed somewhat. Some testified that
the engineer didn't blow his whistle
while others said that he did. and that
the horse which Mr.. Lee was driving
became frightened and ran in front of
the engine. Mr.. Lee said he did not
hear the engine blow.
THE GUNTER INQUEST.
The inquest in the case of James Cum
ter. colored, was concluded after be-
ing several times postponed. The YER
dict was to tho effect that Gunter came
