Ja a two story brick louse at the corner of Vliet and Sixth streets, was enacted at an early hour this morning the most unaccountable murder and suicide that probably ever occurred in this city. Annie Rosenstein a beautiful girl of fifteen years, while sleeping by the side of her little sister?, was shot and instantly killed by Isa3ore Seidenbaum, an eighteen year old friend of the family, who was enjoying their hospitality. The family occupy the lower floor of the house. About 1:30 o'clock Morris Kosenstein and his wife were awakened by the report of a revolver, followed quickly by a second shot. Mr. Rosenstein jumped from his bed and went into the kitchen for alight, when he noticed that the door of the children's room was open. On entering, his eyes met a horrible spectacle. With the dead body of their sister beside them, the four other children in Abe bed sat up and rubbed tbeir eyes, ignorant of the terrible deed. Seidenbanid was in his night clothes and lay in a fallen position partially over the body of the murdered girl. Both wr dead. Elocd flowed from a woend in the fide of the girl's head above the left ear, and from a hole in the breast of the young man. Messengers were sent to the police station and Seidenbaum's body was taken to the rnorjrne. None of the relatives of V-M. deceased could advance any theory as t t:e cause ci the doable tragedy. I taring Stable Humeri. N.w York, April 5. The stables of "William McMahon, at Parkville, L. I., were burned yesterday. Out of the stable consisting! Keva, Charley T.Iempland, Chiocha, Srpartacus, Counterfeit and Perilous, all owned by William McMahon, Chioeha and Perilous were alone uninjured. They scaped with a few slight burns. Reva Krihhed in the Maines, and Charley Kemprid bad to be killed. Counterfeit was fearfr.lly burned about the head and shoulders, and will lose the sight of one eye. Spartacus was terribly burned on his baca, the blanket having' been almost immediately consumed . before being removed. The loss on the racers is at least $20,000. Children. The appalling fact is revealed by mortuary statistics, that of all the children born more thaa one-half die before they reach the age of fire years. Jn London alone there are 40.000 such deaths annually. Such frightful mortality la not from lack of medicine, bat principally because parents pors&ess too little knowledge as to the proper care of children. ' II from his birth," ayi an eminent authority, "an infant has plenty of fresh air for hi longs, plenty of exercise for his muscles, plenty rf tleep for his brain, frequent sousing of fresh water for his body, and only proper nourishment for his stomach, he will srrvlve children s disea and will require but little for medicine.

The Times of last Sunday contained a correct accou.pt of Orth Stein's ignominious actions and sudden disappearance, which is said to be thoroughly reliable and authentic. The paper says that Stein did everything in accordance and with the knowledge of his mother, especially in drawing checks on her account. He would ask for money under tjje cover of using it for business purposes, and then go and squander it in gambling or in company with disreputable women. The Comet, although a very good paper ef Its kind, was in poor condition in regard to its circulation, and the support given it was insufficient to maintain its existence: nor was Lafayette a proper location for the Comet. A few days before leaving Stem announced in the city papers the proposed removal of the Comet to St. Louis, for tbe purpose of enlarging its circulation and give it a broader field of actio i, as it deserved. The remaining amount of the $-7,500 insurance is $200, with $700 outstanding debts. Several other persons were 'roped in" by Stein, in loaning him money, whose pockets are somewhat emptier now, and who are anxious to meet Stein. He has taken a position as reporter on the St. Louis GlobeDemocrat, and has given himself a wider field of action and will probably be beard from again. His first crime sinks into insignificance by this last action, in most cruelly robbing his mother of her entire fortune, who sacrificed everything in her ingrateful son's bebalf. Mrs. Stein sold the Comet office to Williams and LetTero, two young printers, who propose to establish a weekly paper in the interest of labor; also, her late husband's law library to Fugee it Gordon, for $4.0. Fhilip Buff, the Buck Creek desperado, who shot and latally wounded Natt Warfield at tbe Iatter's house about two month's ago, was sentenced to the State Prison for live years and a fine of $100. He will be taken to Michigan City at once. Slashed With a Hnife. Special to the Sentinel. Madisos, Ind., April 5. Yesterday evening Tom, alias Teddy McLaughlin, and George, alias Bunkey Lostetter, became engaged in a quarrel, when Lostetter pulled a knife and slashed McLaughlin across the throat, making an ugly, but not dangerous, wound; also across the left eye. Tht-n having worn off the edge of his knife, he pulled a picket ftom a fence, which he used with telling effect, breaking his adversary's nose, besides otherwise beating him about the head. McLaughlin is dangerously wounded. Lostetter has been arrested and is now in jail. Both mep are toughs. A Runaway Horse Killed. Epecial to tbe Sentinel. Cambridge City-, Ind., April 4. The large and powerful horse attached to the hack used for conveying passengers to and from the depot to the Centrai Hotel of this place, became frightened at escaping steam yesterday morning, and after breaking away from the hack ran against a freight car and broke his neck, dj jpg almost instantly.

WASHINGTON.

An Eloquent Appeal in Behalf f the Workiiigmin by Representative Lowry. The Indiana Delegation and Representative Bjnnm A Concerted Plan to Defeat the O'Neill Labor Bill General and Personal. Special to the Ben Unci. Washibutok, April 2. Tbe speech of Judge Lowry upon the labor bill was the only thing that has been said upon the subject by any of the Indiana delegation. The following is a brief synopsis of the same : "1 do not believe thai this bill is either a fraud or a cheat. I dovot believe with my distinguished friend from Georgia, Mr. Hammond; from Virginia, Mr. Daniel; frbm Texas, Mr. Reagan, that it infringes upon any provision of the Constitution. As I understand this bill, I conceive that the Committee on I -a bor has proceeded with the utmost caution and circumspection in framing it, and have sought to bring forward a measure that is entirely consistent with every constitutional provision, and one which may be calculated to meet as fully, as found to be feasible, the existing emergency and may prove to be a salutary aid in a settlement of the labor difficulties between capital and labor. It has been insisted that this act is unconstitutional. It Is al lectd that it undertakes to - confer judicial authority up a judicial tribunal organized by virtue of its provisions. Now, sir, I undertake to say that this bill does not provide for any judicial tribunal; that it does not undertake to confer jurisdiction of a judicial character upon any tribunal. It simply provides for an arbitrament, which may be voluntarily entered into by the parties to existing difficulties, and affords an op portunity for them to have tbe questions a issue between them arbitrated and an award made. It provides also that tbe awards made bv such arbitration shall be of such a character that tbe parties, it they so desire, will be able afterwards to enforce their rights in a court of justice. Suppose the parties meet and agree to arbitrate their difficulties, whether they be railway companies or other corporations or individuals citizens of one State, or citizens of different States. When the arbitration is held and theaward is made tbe parties, 1 apprehend, are bound oy the conclusion reached by the arbi trators, and their rights under the arbitration may be then enforced by proceedings in the courts. Bat, sir, the case of tbe Genessee Chief (12 Howard's Reports, 443) is cited here by the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Hammond) as an authority in support of the doctrine that this bill is unconstitutional. What was that case? That was a case where the relators, as owners of the schooner Cuba, as libeliants, proceeded against the Genessee Chief to recover dam ages in consequence of a collision that had taken place on Lake Erie. It was insisted iu the course of the argument of the case that the act under which the proceedings was brought was unconstitional, for the reason that the jurisdiction of the Admiralty Courts was conlined, under a proper con struction of the Constitution, to the tide waters Of the United States. Judge Taney in delivering the opinion in that case, with his accustomed incisive logic, brushed away the platitude in whici the courts had previously indulged upon the subject, and showed that the act of Congress providing for admiralty jurisdiction being applied as well to thy navagable lakes and rivers of the country as to the tide waters, was wholly free from all constitutional objection, and held that the enactment simply extended the jurisdiction of the Admiralty Court, and authorized them to take cogniz ance of and adjudicate controversies origin ating on such lakes and rivers in the same manner as were those arising on the tidal waters. It seems to me that matter was so plain there ought not to have been much controversy upon tbe subject. Tbe simple proposition contained In the act was the ex tension of the jurisdiction of certain judicial tribunals under provisions of law already existing. Now what Is the emergency that confronts us by reason of our existing social and politic economic conditions? In this country, as elsewhere, capital has the advantage of labor. Tbe common law and tbe statutes of every State in the Union' authorize the organization of capital in the form of corporations. These ftnploy vast multitudes of men. Questions arise between these powerful corporations and the operatives and laboring men. While capital has every facility for enforcing its exactions, there are no adequate means by which labor can enforce its rights. The laboring men appeal for arbitrrtion. We saw iust the other day the magnates of a railroad corporation higgling with the representatives of the great labor oganizations throughout the country, who submitted, in reference to existing difficulties, the simple proposition, 'Let us arbitrate. Call ye in council one of your friends, and we will bring thither another. Let them call in a third, aud we will submit these questions.' "The agitation of this proposition has extended to this House. What will be the probable effect even of this, since the meeting of the present Congress, when it was proposed to regulate the relations between operatives of your lines of street cars and the corporations which employ them, which had been exacting from the bone and brain and muscle of these men from fifteen to seventeen hours a day of hard labor for tbe comparative pittance, for a wage here, of from $1.50 to $:?? These cor; poratious speedily came to terms and proposed to limit their day of labor to tivelvo hours and to compensate that labor by the payment of $2 for each and every day. "The bill is a step in the right direction. It is in response to a cry of distress; it is Ship ahoy' to the struggling sailor. By the pastage of this bill this Congress will put its sien in the heavens aa a token of a covenant I that there shall be redrew offered to the

laboring interests of this country: that labor shall not always be subject to any unwarranted exactions of capital and monopoly." . Technical Desertions. Special to the Sentinel. Washington, April 3. General Bragg, of Wisconsin, on behalf of the Committee on Military Affairs, has reported favorably a bill passed by the Senate to remove from the records of the office of the Adjutant General of the Army the charge of desertion against soldiers under certain circumstances. The bill provides that the charge of desertion standing on the rolls and records against any soldier, by reason of his having enlisted in any regiment, troop or company without having first received a discharge from the regiment, troop or company frVwhich he had previously served, shall be removed in all in all cases in which it appears to the satisfaction of the Secretary of War, from the rolls and records or from ether satisfactory testimony, that his re enlistment was not made for the purpose of securing bounty or other gratuity that he would not have been entitled to bad he remained under his original term of eulistmenL No soldier is to be relieved who, not being sick or wounded, left his command without proper authority while the command was in the presence of the enemy, or who,.at the time of leaving his command, was nnder arrest or charges, or in whose case the period of absence from the service exceeded three months. It provides that in all cases where the charge of desertion shall be removed, tbe Adjutant General of tbe Army shall issue to

the soldier, or in case of his death to his heir or legal representatives, a certificate of dis charge from the regiment, troop or company in which he first served. Tbe period within which applications for relief may be made is limited to five years from the passage of the act by Congress. All applications must be made to the Secretary of War. General Bragg says the passage of this general law would do away with a large amount of special legislation, aud it provides a speedy re lief to a large and deserving class of men, who never were guilty of the crimeof deser tion, in a moral sense, but who fall techni cally within the class under the application of the fiftieth article of war, and it has suf ficient safeguards, if properly applied, to prevent unworthy men from taking benefit nnder it. Tariff Revision. Special to the Sentinel. Wafhisgtox, April 3. The tariff reform ers have at last agreed upon a bill, which is to be submitted to the House on Tuesday. The bill is much the same as the one presented early in the season, though many of the articles then placed upon the free list have, under the revision, been put on tbe classified tariff side, and the articles, such as wool, hemp and all kinds of lumber, are placed upon the tree list. The action of plac icg wool upon tbe free list will fire the heart of the Ohio people, and will as well make that State so hopelessly Republican that the.

Republicans will have sixteen out ot the twenty-one Congressmen, ten of whom are now Democratic. General Warner said to-night that if they insist on placing wool upon the free list, the manufacturers must expect to find the manufactured article upon the free list also. It is a thrust at the farmers, and it is safe to say that tbey will not stand idly by and allow it to go on without protesting. Telephone Talk. Special to the Sentinel. Washisgtox, April 5. A petition was presented to-day by Mr. Bynuni from citizens of Indianapolis, asking the appointment of a committee to investigate whether the cause of the Bell Telephone Company in withdrawing from doing business in tbe State, is not done for the purpose of influencing legislation. In this connection it may be well to state that, in view of the retirement of the Bell people, the Trumbull Telephone Company are preparing to go to Indiana to establish their phones, and hope to take the place of those retiring. The new company will not rent their instruments, but will sell them. They propose selling at a price about equal to one years rental of the Bell, and to be the sole property of the pur:haser to do with as he may desire. The Indian Commission. Special to the Sentinel. Washington, April 5. The report circulated a few days ago tc the eflect that the Indian Commission, which went West last year to investigate the Indian problen, of which Judge Holman was chairman, had expended $18,000, is considerably at rightangles with the truth. The report of the expenditure, taken from the clerk of the Committee on appropriations, who was the clerk of the Indian Commission, shows the cost of the Commission was $4,200, and the Commission numbered six persons, including the clerk and stenographer, which, in fact, was what might be considered a very economical investigation much more so than the average Congressional Commissions. The President and Secretary Maniing. Special to the Sentinel. Washington, April 5. The reported trouble between the President and Secretary Manning at the Cabinet meetine immediately preceding Mr. Manning's attack did not occur. There has been a difference of opinion between the President and Mr. Manning, as concerning the letters affecting the confirmation of Internal Revenue Collectors sent by Mr. Manning to the Senate Committee on Finance. The firt of these letters was prepared by the Secretary in the presence of tbe President and was read and approved by him. Will OOer If is Resignation. Special to the Sentinel. Washixgtox, April 3. Captain Webb, of Covington, Ind., who last spring was appointed to the position of Register of the Land Office In Utah Territory, is here, and it is said for the purpose of offering his resignation. This makes the second Indiana man who has resigned W'thln the past month. A .

THE GO OLD STRIKE.

Quiet All Along the Lias and Freight Trains Gettisg in Motion. The Action of the General Executive Board Indorsed by the Knlsjhta Secretary Turner Leave St. Loots for Fort Worth, Texan. St. Lovis, April 5. It was generally believed yesterday that to-day the freight blockade on this and the east side of the river would be raised, and that the resumption of traffic would be completed. There was but little interference last Saturday with the running of freight trains from L'ast St, Louisand it was the expectation of the officials that they would be able to prosecute their regular business to-day, the same as though there had never been any trouble. The Bridge and Tunnel Company announced yesterday that they would be ready to handle all business given them. The joint notice agreed upon at the general meeting held Saturday, giving the men until 1 o'clock to-day to. return to work, evidently had the desired effect, as the Superintendents were notified yesterday by many of their former employes that they would be on hand to day ready for duty. President Tanzy, of the Transfer Company, also re ceived official notice from his employes that they would report for work in a body at the company's stables this morning. The striking Missouri Pacific Knights, it is understood, also Intended to apply for positions to their employers. The formal revocation last night by the General Executive Committee of their order to the Knights of Labor to return to work makes the outlook to-day less hopeful, and the strike may not be so nearly ended as it was thought The Missouri Pacific has already employed a sufficient number of new men to carry on its business, and the officials of that road anticipate no trouble in keeping the road open, and in spite of the renewal of the strike. In East St. Louis, however, the situ ation is different, for those who have already returned to work, as well as those who an nounced their intention of returning ta-dav. are Knights of Labor, and are subject to the order of the executive committee. It is ex pected, therefore, that those who have gone back to work will to-day strike again, and that tbe others will withdraw their applica tions for their old positions when they shall receive the official announcement of the committee's action. Tbe Iron Mountain sent out five freight trains this morning and the Missouri Pacific an equal number, no opposition being offer ed by the strikers. The resumption of freight tramc on these roads may now be considered complete, and the raising of the blockade on that branch of the company's business permanent. The Ohio and Mississippi and Indianapolis and St Louis Roads sent out freight trains from East St. Louis this morn wig without interierence. None of the strikers have returned to work, either in the yards or on the ttidze. A majority of tbe employes of, the Transfer Company resumed to woik thW morning. Sheriff Ropiequet has notified the strikers who have been indicted for obstructing traffic to give bond, otherwise they will be arrested and jailed. A number of them have availed themselves of this notice. A new development in the strike on the east side of the river, and one which occasioned considerable surprise and uneasiness among tbe railway officials, occurred this morniDg, when the Chicago and Alton switch engineers struck. They say they will not go back to work until the trouble betwei'n tbe railroads and their employes-shall have been settled, and feel confident that their brotherhood will support them. 3:10 p. m. The local Lxecutive Committee has been in informal session to-day, but nothing of public interest was done. Secretary Turner says the whole matter now rests in tbe hands of District Assemblies 101, 93 and 17, end that they will hereafter conduct the strike. There is talk that more men will be ordered out by both 93 and 17, bnt that is not definitely decided upon. District 93 covers the Wabash, and 17 is local and embraces only East St. Louis. Further developments may occur this afternoon. The situation up to a late hour to-night Is practically unchanged. The General Executive Committee has held no formal session to-day, nor has the local Joint Commi done anything that they will make public beyond the fact that they have telegraphed to all points on the Gould system the statement which was issued last night by the general committee. To these telegrams the committee say they have received replies from most of the principal points to the effect that the action of the general board is commended and indorsed, and that generally the men who have returned to work have again gone out, and the strike is practically as active aud as Btrong as it has been at any previous time. Secretary Turner left to-night for Fort Worth, Tex., and will make a tour oPthe southern part of the Gould system before his return and learn himself the exact condition of affairs. Specials from Fort Worth say that Deputy Sheriff Townsend and Frank Pierce, a striker, who were wounded in the fight on Saturday, died to-day. The Reason Hall Was Discharged. New York, April 5. A Dallas (Tex.) special to the Sun says: Among the men in humble circumstances who have been thrust into sudden notoriety by the strike on the Gould Southwestern system is Charles A. Hall, the former foreman of the passenger car repair shops of the Texas Pacific Railroad at Marshall. It was he whose discharge from the service of the Texas Pacific Railroad precipitated the present labor revolt on the Southwestern railroads. A year ago Mr. Hall was active in the first great strike on the Gould Southwestern system when the men won an Increase of wages and better terms generally in their relations with the railroad. These benefits were secured through the Knights of Labor. Hall at that time was quite conspicuous in tbe local management of the strike at Marshall, although he was only an ordinary workman in the passenger repair shop. A few months after the settlement of that strike he was promoted to the formanship of the chop. He was discharged on February 14. I have every reason to believe," said Mr. Hall a few days ago, "that I was promoted to theforemanship because at that time I was the most competent person at hand to take charge of the shop. I was constantly impressed, however, with the fact that the railroad had a grudge against me on account of

my activity in the strike, and early this year felt sure that the officials were only waiting

a preteit to discharge me, and put in my place some one w bo was not a Knight of Labor. Mr. Wheelock, oae of the officials under the Keceivers, indicated as much a day or two ago when in speaking of ray case he said: "ice case of Hall was a particularly aggravated one. He made himself obnoxious in the trouble of a year azo, and we only took him back for the sake of peace. Hoping to encourage him and secure his rood will for the company, we promoted him to be foreman of the car repair shop. Bat he proved more troublesome than ever, and besides, he was incompetent' " This shows that there was a grudge against me, and that tbe company was watching me and only waiting for some pretext to turn me adrift When, therefore, I attended the Knights of Labor meeting of my assembly, Mr. Crosbie, the general shop foreman, who is a bitter opponent of the order, was the instrument they ued to bring about this entire trouble by discharging me on the allegation that I was absent three days without leave, although I can prove by good men that I had Crosbie's permission to be gone one. two or three days, as circumstances would require. I told Mr. Crosbie further that if there was any objection to my being absent 1 would not go, and he said, That'aall right It was a direct answer to my question, and was the only kind of permission anybody received for leave of absence, verbal consent No one received written permission; and as my absence was only to attend a meeting in my own town verbal permission was all that I deemed necessary. I had been off a dozen times, and that was the only form of permission I bad ever received. After my discharge the Knights did all they could to have me reinstated, but without avail. The higher officials were appealedno. and they would do nothing. They refused to recognize the Knights of Labor as an organization that had a right to secure the just treatment of its members. After the Knights had exhausted all possible efforts at arbitration, the strike came. No one regrets it more than I do, because of the loss and trouble the men who are out have sustained and the inconvenience the business public have experienced. But the strike was right and founded on justice and on the broadest of principles. After Crosbie had positively refused any concessions whatever io the premises, he and I met and referring totbe matter he remarked: 'The men in the shop are not afraid of you, and I want a man over them they will be afraid of to which I replied: Xo, thank God, they are not afraid of me, and I hope you will have to hunt a Iod ? while before you find a man whom they will fear. This was my last talk with Mr. Crosbie." Mr. Hall has many sympathizers in Texas. . He is not a pestiferous agitator, and wat; Only a helpless instrument in bringing to a. bead the. question at issue between the Knights and the railroad companies. The Knights here assert that the discharge -of Hall was only an incident in the studied policy of the railroads to crush out all semblance of organization among their employes, but tbe matters had reached such a pass that nothing more than an incident like this was needed to produce an open rupture. Secretary Turner, of the Executive Committee of the Knights of Labor, having, stated yesterday in St. Louis that Mr. Hoxie was not acting in conformity with the terras of the agreement entered into at the New York conference, Mr. Gould wa3 to-day interviewed upon the subject and said : "The stenographer's notes of the New York conference show that there was no agreement direct or implied that the comIny would take all men back, with some comparatively few exceptions. On the contrary they how that not one of the committee expected the company to take back, any man not needed or any who had had anything to do with damage to the property of the company or obstruction to the running of its trains. Powderly said if the company would supply him with the names of these law-breakers they would be expelled from the order. The whole committee was very positive that its orders to retume work would be generally observed, and asserted most positively that those who refused to Obey its orders would be put out of tbe order. and, to use the words of one of tbe committee, 'kept out of it forever.' A message from Mr. Hoxie was read to the committee, in which he said that only a portion of the men formerly employed would be required by the company on account of a reduction in business caused by the strike and because a large number of men had been employed to take tbe places of the strikers, who would not be discharged." Governor Ireland at Fort Worth. Fort Worth, Tex., April 5. Governor Ireland arrived here this morning from the capital of the State and has been in consultation all the morning with the railway officials and military commanders. When tbe Governor's train stopped at Waco, on itsway here last night, several strikers mounted the engine and killed it. Another engine was procured and the train arrived this morning without further hindrance. Governor Ireland said that he was determined that the lawlessness which had prevailed here must cease, and that the railroad officials must be protected in their efforts to move trains. The report that the strikers had torn up a section of the track south of Ihis city proved, upon investigation, to be unfounded. A box of dynamite cartridges, however, was found, concealed near the depot. No Change at Parsons, Kansas. Parsons, Kan., April 5. There has been no material change In the striking situation to-day. Early this morning Iron's circular still urging the men to keep up the strike , was framed and hung in conspicuons places and the strikers in consequence announced that they will not a'low any of the Knights of Labor to resume work . It is said, however, that about 100 of the men have been re-employed, and the Master Mechanio announced that he has all the men engaged that he wants. Seven Knights were arrested to-day and held for trial. The citizens are organizing a Law and Order League for the protection of property. The militiamen are doing faithful work in the moving of trains, and it is proposed to have a portion of them return to their homes in a day or two. Trouble Feared. PiTTsti' kg, Pa., April 5.
