The fact that there was no cry for
help, that the house was so small that
escape would have been easy and the
position of the bodies pointed to the
conclusion that Fourhelm had cut the
throats of his wife and child with the
razor, fired the house and then Shot
himself with the gun. Fourhelm's
body showed a gunshot wound. The
necks of his wife and child. though
burned to a crisp. appeared to confirm

COST OF THE STRIKE.
Some Figures Compiled Showing the Ire

Pittsburg, July 1S.-According to
figures compiled by the Pittsburg Dis
patch. the steel strike is daily costing
the three companies involved $4,000
and the workmen $156000. 1t is esti-
mated that in the daily loss of nearly
$4,000 boxes of tin plate day the
American Tinplate company Is daily
losing $4,000, while the loss to the
canning companies unable TO secure
their material is enormous in addition.
Practically no stocks have been car
ried and consumption has kept pace
with the production for some little
time past. About 700 tons of the 1000
tons daily production Of the American
Sheet Steel company is being lost and
this represents a loss each day to the
combine of at least $4,000.

Will be Prepared to Decide
Technical Points.

There is a long, slender piece of

ly bound about it with closely wound
silk thread, in the Office Of Chief Of
Police John Durkin.
1t will be introduced in evidence at
the hearing of the horse-whipping
cases in Mayor Doyle's court Tuesday.
The article referred to is the small end
Of So horsewhip and it was used on
Samuel A. Kennedy, it is alleged.
Officer John w. Goodenberger has
been trying to locate the fourth man,
who, Kennedy declares, had a hand
in the assault. He has not succeeded,
though he has some evidence which
might show that there was a fourth
man.
The Kohler brothers and B. G. Work
declare there was no fourth man pres.
ent. They have always made this dec
laration, even when they gave them
selves up to the police and entered
their appearance for trial-wishing to
shield no one.
Many of the policemen are inclined
to believe that Kennedy is mistaken;
not being a fighting man, they say, he
might easily have imagined that a half
dozen men were in the assault upon
him.
Mayor Doyle has been spending more
time the past three weeks pouring over
law books, than he often gives to that
occupation. 1t is said that he means
to be prepared to pass upon any point
of law which may be presented on eli
ther side in the hearing of the case,
without delay. In this event, it is
| quite certain the hearing will be con-
cluded Tuesday, though the Mayor may
| take the case under advisement and
not pass sentence until day or two
later.
