Sprung a Leak During
Night and Went

New York, Sept. 1.-THE tugboat
Heath, belonging to the Savannah
Steamship company, without a mo-
ment's warning, went to the bottom at
the lines pier in Hoboken at o'clock
this. morning, and it is believed that
every one on her is drowned: The
boat was pulling at her rope in the
tide and as there was no sign of life
on her, the crew was supposed to be
asleep. When the boat tied up last
night four or five men were on board
and retired for the night. These mer
are supposed to have been in their
bunks this morning.
So suddenly did the boat sink that
men standing on the pier to which she
was tied did not notice that she was in
trouble until the sound made by the
fire in the engine room as the water
rushed in, attracted attention. 1t is
supposed that the Heath sprung leak
during the night.

Washington, ID. c., Sept. 12.--Her-
man f. Denham. letter carrier, shot
and killed his wife and then himself at
his home, 426 Eighth street Northeast
this morning. He had been in the
postal employ for 15 years. He was
33 years old. Six years ago he mar
ried Mae Kilgore, the daughter OF
Judge Kilgore Of Newberry, S. c. His
wife's father and mother had been liv-
ing with them for some time. The only
reason for the tragedy that can be
assigned is insane jealousy on the part
OF the husband.
At 5 o'clock this morning Judge Kill
gore was awakened by a pistol shot
He rushed into his daughters room and
found her lying in bed dead, with a
shot through the temple. Denham was
beside her, having shot himself also
through the temple. The pistol was
lying on the floor near his hand.

ing gallery will be another of the spe-
cial features, which, with the Ferris

Men are Surprised by
Notices Of Wholesale
~-- Discharges.
FIGHT RECENTLY SETTLED
Is AGAIN Being Renewed
Company's Demand That EN-
pioyes Violate Union Agree
ment Said to be Cause
OF Trouble.

Aware of the fact that the men in
their employ were on the verge of
declaring strike, the officials of the
Stark rolling mill company, at 1
O'Clock Friday afternoon, posted a no.
tice in the plant stating that the works
would cease work after the first turn
had finished, and would remain closed
for an indefinite period
The cause of the trouble is the re-
fusal of the officials of the Amalga-
mated Association of Iron, Steel and
Tin Workers, to grant to the Stark
mill the same privileges now being en-
joyed by the American Sheet Steel Co.,
q component part of the billion dollar
trust.
According to the rules OF the Anal.
gamated association 1876 pairs of sheets
irrespective of size or guage, constitute
days work. Any man working more
than the specified amount in one turn,
of eight hours, is heavily fined by the
mill committee, which represents the
association in each plant
CAUSE OF TROUBLE.
The result has been that the locat
company has been handicapped in It's
endeavors to compete with the trust
in the open market. Some time ago
the officials of the labor union removed
the limit in mills controlled by the
American Sheet Steel company. The
result has been that men employed
by the latter concern, turn out two
and even three extra sheets each turn
that is, from 40 to 60 pairs over the
limit prescribed.
About five weeks ago, the Stark COM
pany made an effort. TO have the limit
removed and falling this, decided to
fight the men in its employ. A strike
was declared and the plant was idle
for some time. Finally, the customers
becoming so persistent in their de-
mands for material, the local people
capitulated and gave in.
AT that time, T. j. Shaffer, presiden,
of the Amalgamated association Wis
tied Canton and his views on removin,,
the limit were consulted Mr.. Shaffer
so it is stated, declared that the matter
could not be considered and there mat
ters remained until about a week ago.
Then the Stark people informed theiI
employees that the limit would have to
be removed. The head officials of tho
union were consulted and orders were
given that did the mill owners attemp,
to do as they threatened, the mes
were to strike.
WILL PAY OFF.
Several of the men were seen and |
they declared themselves in favor of |
"hogging" it-that is taking off the |
limit. More money would be made BY
every man and the advantage would !
be theirs as well as the company's.
There is rumor prevalent that the
mill would resume shortly with non
union men. Superintendent Irwin re-
fused to discuss this phase of the mat
ter, saying that the company will is.
sue a statement in few days, giyinJ
its side of the question.
On Tuesday, all of the men will 10
paid off in full. They have been or
dcred to take their personal belongings
from the plant and are given to under.
stand that each and every one of them
has been discharged.
