SICK MAN KILLS THREE.

Baltimore, Nd, July 16. -Orazed by
fear Of the white DEATH - which
made him powerless to work, and from
brooding over family troubles, Louis
Eisen early yesterday morning cut the
threats VI his wife, his two infant chill
dren and himself at his home, No. 1908
East Lexington street.
Eisen was consumptiye and had
suffered alarming hemorrhages. On
account Of his weakened condition he
was unable-to work and support his
family. Once previously his wife had
teen taken away from him by her par
ents on this account and he evidently
feared this would he done again. He
had threatened to exterminate the
family, and doubtless after brooding
over his condition determined to carry
out his threat.

lying on the floor of the ring. Nc
Govern adopted the tactics which he
said he would. He rushed in on Erne
at the very beginning and sent left and
