TRAGEDY IN PHILADELPHIA
Detected at Robbery, Man Kills His
Sister and Husband.

PHILADELPHIA, August 5.-ImpelIed by
cupidity. Harry Fisher, thirty years old,
early today entered the home of his sister.
MRS. Elizabeth Shearer, in the northeast
ern section Of the city, detected in an
effort to steal 81 600 she had in the house.
he shot and killed her and her husband. Jo-
seph Shearer. His sister died instantly and
his brother-in-law died on the way to a
hospital.
The report Of the pistol aroused the wife
of a policeman who lived near by. She
FASTENED out of the house and found her
husband on his beat. With two other
patrolmen he returned to the Shearer
nome and found the wife dead and the hus-
band dying. The murderer escaped While
the ponce were searching for the perpe-
traitor OF the crime Harry Fisher. DISCO
lutte brother Of the dead woman, walked in
to the house with blood streaming from A
wound in the breast which he had inflicted
hlmself. He denounced himself as the as
sassin and confessed that robbery was his
pitai and. while his condition is serious.
1t Is believed he will recover
AFTER the commission Of his crime Fisher
concealed himself In the loft of a stable
morse he turned the pistol on himself. The
shot not proving fatal, he left his hiding
place and surrendered to the police
Mr. ana Mrs. Shearer had been married
only one month. The money which caused
flsher to commit the crime was to have
oeen expended in the purchase of a home.
Fisher died this afternoon Before he be-
came unconscious Fisher said Shearer had
broken UP his home, and this was the cause
of the crime. No credence is given this ex-
PLANTATION by the friends Of Shearer's. Ac-
cording to the police Fisher had persistent
ly annoyed his sister and brother-in-law
His reputation in the neighborhood was
bad, and he was wanted by the police for a
criminal offense committed Memorial
day, when he disappeared from his usual
haunts.
Mr.. and Mrs. Shearer went for a drive
last evening, and it is believed Fisher forced
an entrance into their home during their
absence.

itol avenue. today by a negro servant, and
died after his removal to the Hartford Hos
pital. He was secretary of the Durham

ness before death. during which, in reply
to a question, he said that Joe. the negro,
had shot him. 1t was also learned that the

Building Trades Union Strikers In Tor

NEW YORK. August 5.-The striking
building trades unions were SAID To-Day
to be prepared to accept the challenge OF
the building Trades Employers Asso-

the unions which have ordered strikes
in the subway and elsewhere in the
building trades is practically certain
When the ultimatum of the employers
was sent out two days ago, the strikers
were given until today to return to work.
The ultimatum stated that unless the de-
mand was met by the strikers the at
fected unions will be put on the street
on Monday.
At the Building Trades Employers AS
ISOLATION today it was announced that
none of the unions had reported for
work. and that consequently the lock
out threatened by the employers Will
become effective.
Unofficial statements were made which
show that about 10000 men, associated

that, from the builders standpoint, it
was merely question of maintaining a
mutual agreement made between the as
ISOLATION and the labor unions about a
year ago. This agreement which had
for it's purpose the mutual betterment of
conditions. according to Mr.. Eidlitz has
been violated by the men. He added:
We have done everything in our power

allowing the former type Of leader to get

Are More Severe Than at First Re-
ported.

LONDON, August 5.-The injuries sus-
tained by Mrs. Arthur Paget, who fell down
elevator shaft at her residence Monday
night, sustaining a fracture of the thigh.
turns out to be even more severe than at
first thought. A thorough examination by
Sir Frederick Rives, surgeon-in-ordinary to
the king. today showed that her right thigh
was badly fractured, that her right knee
cap was smashed. and that she received
minor injuries of the left leg, but no inter-
nal injuries or other complications. 1t is
feared that the inability to fully treat the
knee while the fracture of the thigh Is knit
ting may result in a permanent stiffness OF
the knee.
General Paget informed a representative
of the Associated Press that his wife was
in good spirits in spite of the severity Of
her INJURIES and said she would probably be
obliged to remain on her back for three
months.

SIGNS OF IMPROVEMENT.
Reports on the State Of Trade Gen.
orally.

NEW YORK. August 5.-From almost
every part Of the country from which the
International Mercantile Agency has re-
ceived special reports this week there are
signs Of an Improvement in trade. with bet
ter business on hand, than ia customary at
this season OF the year. and few cancella-
lions as a result Of the rather calamisous
reports that have been sent out the past
few days from the spring wheat sections
In the northwest. This IL q splendid augury
for the trade of the next six months. 1t is
quite remarkable how little alarm has been
evidenced by the labor troubles that al
ready exist and those that threaten. Lo-
cally. the strike Of the men in the packing
house trade Is Of small consequences. while
indications in the west are that 1t will soon
be settled.
In Chicago. Kansas City, Minneapolis and
st. Paul, cities that would naturally be eff
fected by these disturbances. there is very
little trace Of a reaction in trade. It is
equally significant that these same sections
should report very satisfactory distribu-
ton OF merchandise. in view Of the esti-
| mates that have been made Of damage by
rust to spring wheat. In some Of the coun-
ties Of North and South Dakota there has
probably been a material setback. but the
damage figures are being generally discred-
tied.
The best reports are from the south and
southwest. 1t is evident that preparations
are being made by merchants in those Sec
tons for an unprecedented business. Louis
v1ie Baltimore, st. Louis and Dallas all
tell the same story of a present good de-
mand, with satisfactory collections and the
prospect of much better business. Trav-
eiing men are sending In larger orders
than they have been known to before at
this season of the year. This condition ap-
pnes TO clothing, millinery, hardware dry
goods and building material
In the financial and mercantile worlds
there is no one influence that is having an
e eh at present equal to that produced by
the several aspects of the crop situation
The loss by floods probably reduced the
winter wheat yield 2S,OOO, 600 bushels. There
mas been extensive damage In the past week
to spring wheat by rust. If no further loss
occurs IN the northwest there will prob
ably be between $4,000, 600 and 600 goo 900
bushels harvested There appears to be no
warrant for the estimate Of a total yield
under 5000 coo bushels. With a produc-
uon or 6O.OOO.O0O bushels there will be a
small exportable surplus.
