HAVE NOT DECIDED TO STRIKE.
Ar. mOrrissey Denies Report about
ChIcagO-AIton Men.

GhicRsO- Alton Wen.
st. Louis, March 16.-P. II. Morrissey,
grand master of the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen, to-day denied that
the trainmen of the Chicago and Alton
railroad have decided to strike. Mr..
Morrissey made the following state
ment:
THE report sent out from Chicago
that the trainmen of the Chicago and
Alton have decided to go on a strike
unless their demand for an increase in
wages is agreed to by the officials of
the road has no foundation in fact.
There has been no proposition to strike
submitted to the employees of the sys-
tenn, and there can be no strike unless
the employees authorize it by two
thirds vote. The committee represent
ing the conductors and trainmen is con-
ferring with the general officers of the
railroad company as to rules and wages
governing their employment, and there
is every reason to believe that they will
reach an amicable agreement. The
fact that an officer of each organization
conferred with the committees in Chi
cago yesterday has no particular signi-
ficance."

BURDICK MURDER INQUEST
YOUNG DAUGHTER OF THE DE-
CEASED TESTIFTES.
Authorities Unable to Get Any Inn
portant Information from Her-Dr.
Marcy Admits That He Tried to Have
the Medical Examiner Determine 1t a
case of Suicide.

Buffalo,N Y, March 16.-Miss Marion
Burdick, the pretty rosy checked
daughter of the late Edwin L. Burdick,
was the most interesting witness at the
inquest before Judge Murphy to-day.
Marion is sixteen years old and bears
striking resemblance to her mother.
Like Mrs. Hull. she volunteered no in
formation. She answered in monosylla-
bles whenever possible. 1t was Yes"
or mo or when these replies would
not suffice she used as few words as
possible. She was not easily confused,
and there was no sign of agitation or
emotion when the district attorney
questioned here closely regarding the
father was murdered.
Mr.. Coatsworth began by speaking
kindly to the girl and carefully choosing
his words in putting questions to her.
Later he fred questions in rapid sue
cession, all of which were met with
replies both sharp and decisive. At one
time when the district attorney asked
the same question several times Marion
caused a murmur in the court room by
raising her voice sharply in clear en-
phatic II don't know" Nothing of i'm
portance was elected from the young
girl while she was on the stand and the
district attorney finally gave her up in
despair. She said chat Grandmother
Hull first informed her that her father
was i'll in his den" That was before
DR.. Marcy arrived and before Mrs. Hull
knew positively, according to her own
testimony, that it was Burdick's body
lying on the couch. The district attor-
ney tried to get Marion to tell why she
apparently took so little interest in her
fathers illness when she was told of it
by her grandmother. Marion replied
that she knew when 1t was proper for
her to know Grandmother Hull would
tell her. She loved her father and he
had always been good to her, but she
would not admit that there was any
thing wrong in her not inquiring about
his Illness or that she should have done
differently. Marion admitted that she
knew of the divorce proceedings insti-
tuted by Mr.. Burdick against her moth
er. She sympathized with her father.
but would not admit that she thought
that he was right in driving her mother
from home. Neither would she admit
that she knew of her mother meeting

JACKSONVILLE BANK CLOSED.
Oldest National InstitutioM In Florida
-Suspemsiom Due TO Loans

Suspension bue 20 Loans.
Jacksonville, Fla, March 16-The
First National bank, the oldest nation
al bank in Florida, failed to open it's
doors this morning. 1t was closed by
order Of the comptroller Of the curren-
cy. James w. Norvell, of the treasury
department, is in charge of the bank
as receiver.
The suspension is due to three large
loans which the bank has been carry
ing for more than ten years. On the
recommendation of the examiner some
time ago the bank proceeded with the
hope of collecting the outstanding in
debtedness, but the crash came unex-
pectedly to the officials.
The president of the bank, James NJ
Schumacher, is a native of Herkimer
county, New York. He came to Jack
sonville in 1874, and in connection with
his father-in-law, General Francis E
Spinner, formerly treasurer of the
United States, established the bank in
that year. The failure has caused no
run on other banks. The officials of
the bank say that if collections can be
made the depositors will be paid in full.

ATE POISONED APPLES.
Two Bridgeport Children Dend--Others
Critically III.

Bridgeport, March 16.-Two children
of Mr.. and Mrs. James Weldon, of
Whiting Lane, are dead, and three 9TH
ers are critically ill, the result of eating
apples which had been poisoned with
paris green to kill rats. The children
while playing entered an unoccupied
house and there found the apples last
Friday. On Friday night all were ill,
and two physicians diagnosed the trou-
bic as scarlet fever, of which there is
an epidemic in the southern part of the
city. One died Saturday night. Two
other physicians were called in and
they recognized the symptoms as those
of poisoning. Another of the children
died this morning. The recovery of the
other three is hardly hoped for.

terday afternoon. The story as told by
the police last evening was as follows:
Several Italian laborers were doing
some iron work on the roof of the gas
plant and as some Irish laborers were
wheeling barrows full of coke out of
the engine room underneath, the Ital-
ians kept throwing down pieces of iron
on their heads. The Irishmen expostu-
lated and notified Mr. Green, who was
in charge of the work, who spoke to the
men on the roof, but to no purpose and
it was continued for some time.
the roof Mr.. Coffee said something to
them and four of them attacked him.
One of them picked up heavy piece
of lead pipe and swinging it in the air
brought it down on Coffees head split
ting the skull. He sank to the ground
in an unconscious condition and was
then carried into the blacksmith shop
Someone notified Sergeant Klaiber, at
the Grand avenue police station, by
telephone, and he sent Sergeant Dunn
and Patrolman e. Lawlor and E. j.
Reilly in the ambulance, Immediately.

placed in the ambulance and Patrolman

him to the hospital Just as the am
bulance turned into Fair street the in
jured man died.
When the murdered man fell to the
ground, Michael TERRIBLE, who the po-
lice claim struck the blow with the
pipe which killed Coffee, ran out of
the yard and just as he was escaping
he was caught by a one-armed man
named Charles Hertzsizer of 50 Quinni-
piac street, who tripped him up and
then sat on him until Patrolman Lon
ergan arrived. This occurred at the
corneP of East and Chapel streets.
Another Of the italians by the name
of Giulio Fappiano, who was in the act
of escaping from the gas house, was ar
rested by Sergeant Dunn and Patrol
man E. J. Reilly. He was limping
| along in badly mutilated condition
with his nose and leg broken. These
officers also caught Antonio Guarnio,
| another Of the quartette, and Patrol
| man Lawlor caught the remaining one,
Lorenzo Mercughana, at his home next
to the Barnsville bridge, to which he
escaped after the murder.
All four oe the men were under ar
rest and locked up at the Grand ave-
nue. station in less than an hour after
the murder took place. They were all
