THE STRIKING MINBRS.
A Strong Fight to Bring Out the Men' at
_ Plum Creek.
Pittsburg, Aug. 2.—Anxiety, expecta-
tion and suspense, which were the con-
ditions, in the coal mining situation
about De. Armitt’s mines yesterday.
have given place to peace and quiet-
ness. After running counter to deputy
sheriffs several times during the. day
the strikers peaceably .withdrew. The
week closed with the miners’ ofi'icials
satisfied that they had made a marked
impression on the diggers of the New
York and Cleveland Gas Coal compa-
ny, who, it seems, are wavering.
All the men are out at Sandy Creek,
and but few are at work at Turtle
Creek. At Plum Creek the men at
work appear determined to stand by
their employers, but the Strikers still
have hopes of bringing them out and
are now bending every energy to that
end. .
Camp Desperation at the McCrea
schoolhouse will be the headquarters for
many of the strikers for the next few
days. Committees and subcommittees
will visit the offending miners in their
homes with the hope of inducing them
to join in the movement.
Much interest is being manifested in
the big labor demonstration that is to
be held in Pittsburg on Thursday even-
ing. " Eugene V. Debs will be present
and deliver an address on the Monon-
gahela wharf.
In West Virginia.
Wheeling, Aug. 2.——The situation at
Dillonville and Fairmont remains prac—
tically the same as'yesterday. Judge
Mason has announced: that the injunc-
tion granted at the solicitation of the
operators was not permanent. The min-
ers do not‘ seem to care anything about
the injunction.
The Ohio Valley Trades and Labor as-
sembly has issued a call for a mass
meeting of all citizens in sympathy with
the strikers for next Tlfursday evening.
TARIFF LAWS COMPARED.
Showing Some of the Increases In Rev-
enue That Are Expected.
Washington, Aug. 2.—The comparison
of the present tariff law with the Wil-
son act, authorized by congress, has
been completed. It was made by
Charles H. Evans, who has been en-
gaged in some capacity in the prepara-
tion of all the tariff bills with which
congress has dealt since 1872. The com-
parison is made on rates expressed in
ad valorem terms between the present
law and the Wilson law. The state—
ment places the average duty rate un-
der the new law at 54.66 per cent ad
valorem, as against an average of 40.10
under the Wilson law, the averages be-
ing figured upon the basis of values in -
1896.
The schedules show the following in-
creases in‘ percentages:
Chemicals, from 28.53 to 30.67; wools
and woolens, 47.62 to 86.54; silks, from
46.96 to 53.41; earthenware and glass-
ware, 35 to 52.47; metals, 38.11 to 49.24;
sugar, 40.94 to 74.16; tobacco, 109.06 to
121.90; agricultural products, 22.44 to
38.42; spirits, etc., 61.54 to 68.83; cotton
manufactures, 42.75 to 52.33.
Some of the increases expected
revenue are as follows:
Chemicals, from $5,619,239 to $8,423,084;
earthenware and glassware,'from $8,-
006,839 to $12,303,148; metals, from $13,-
196,416 to $17,487,482; woods, from $605,-
749 to $2,439,536; sugar, from $29,910,703
to $54,207,642; agricultural products,
from $7,727,614 to $14,587,601.
These estimates are based upon the
supposition that the value and volume
of imports 'will remain the same.

Mr. Daniel S. Osterbanks, No. 23
Belden avenue says: “I am seventy-

very hard and for years 1 have been
troubled with kidney and bladder 00m-
plaint. My back ached so severely
at times I could not move and I was
compelled to get up often at night to
urinate and lost a great deal of sleep.
I tried medicines and plasters but they
would not cure me. I saw Doan’s Kid-
ney Pills advertised and I got a box at
Hale’s. They were just the thing for
my trouble. I have every reason to
think that they are just what the man—

MAN ARRESTED FOB. MURDER
He Says the Dead \Voman. Who Was Hi-
\Vife, Fired at film and Then Killed
Herself In a. Jealous Raga—Com .
flicting Circumstances.
New York, Aug. 3.—Mrs. Augusta
Mahler, the wife of August Mahler, a
bartender in the_ billiard parlor of
Frank C. Ives, was found dead, with a
bullet hole in her right temple, in her
apartments at 312 West Forty-second
street, early today. Her husband is
under arrest on a charge of having kill-
ed her.
Mahler, who is about 40 years old,
handsome and fond of dress, declares
that his wife shot and killed herself,
after first trying to kill him, because
she was jealous.
The Mahlers lived in a handsomely
furnished flat in West Forty-second
street and had been married 15 years.
Mrs. Mahler had been married before,
and had five children by her former
husband, though none of the children
lived with them. '
There were loud voices, two pistol
shots, followed by excited cries from
the apartments of the Mahlers today,
and the entire building was aroused a
few moments later by loud shouts of
“Fire!” and “Murder!" 'Mahler was
seen rushing from his rooms in his
nightdress wringing his hands and act-
ing like 7a madman.
Professor B. J. Giannini. who occu-
pied a flat directly opposite the apart-
ments of the Mahlers, was awakened
by the sound of angry‘voices. He says
he heard Mr. and Mrs. Mahler talking
in a loud and excited manner, as though
they, were quarreling violently.
He heard two shots a moment later
fired in rapid succession. He rushed
out of his room, and running to the
Mahlers’p rooms, was almost run over
and knocked down by Mahler, who rar.
out crying “Murder!” -
He ran down stairs and Giannini fol-
lowed him. In the street Giannini
found Policeman Hughes of the West
Thirty-seventh street station and

quickly said that a murder had been
committed.
Shot In the Temple.
Hughes ran up stairs into the. apart-
ments of the Mahlers and there found
Mrs. Mahler stretched upon the floor.‘
a revolver by her side and the blood
flowing from a bullet hole high in her
right temple.
The room and the bed were in the
greatest disorder. Placing a pillow un-
der the woman’s head, the. policeman
went down stairs and placed Mahler un-
der arrest. He was frantic and could
scarcely be calmed long enough to
dress.
' The policeman took him up stairs and
questioned him as to the tragedy. Mrs.
Mahler had evidently died instantly.
“She shot at me and then shot her—
self,” said Mahler. “She killed herself."
He was taken away to the West
Thirty-seventh street station and there
held on suspicion.
Mrs. Mahler’s body lay outside the
bed and parallel with it. She was in her
nightdress. The bed was in disorder,
the clothes appearing to have been vio-
lently thrown about. The wound in
Mrs. Mahler's head had been made from
above, the bullet ranging downward.
There were no powder marks on her
face. In a wardrobe door, a few feet
from the body, was another bullet hole.
When Mahler had calmed down at the
station house he told his story. He said
his wife had always been insanely jeal-
ous of him. He said she was even jeal-
ous of her own daughter.
Once when he allowed the daughter
to wear a $1,500 diamond and sapphire
ring of his, he said, she flew into a rage
and demanded to know if she could not
wear rings as well as her daughter.
The Last Quarrel.
They quarreled again today, he said,
as soon as they woke up.
“She was jealous again,” said Mahler,
“and accused me of going around with
another woman. We had words, and I
finally got out of bed. I left the room
a moment, and when, I returned I found
that she had taken my revolver from
the closet.
“As I came into the room she said.
‘Now take your other woman,’ and
fired at me. The bullet went wide.
Without hesitating she placed the re-
volver to her temple and fired.”
Mrs. Myers, the housekeeper, said the
Mahlers had been in the house since
last spring, and she had never heard
them quarrel. .
Mahler said the pistol with which
Mrs. Mahler shot herself was one that
had been presented to him by former
Assistant District Attorney J erryWern-
berg of Brooklyn, his lawyer.
The revolver was found "pressed be-
tween the woman’s right hand and her
knee. l ‘
Mrs. Mahler was .43 years old. Mah-
ler has been with Ives’ billiard rooms
for some years and formerly lived in
Brooklyn. .
The police thought that the bullet
-mark 'in the closet door must have been
fired from the bed.
Mahler is a native of Germany and
served four years in the German army.
He was arraigned in Jefferson Market
court before Magistrate Deuel today.
Policeman Hughes of the West Thirty-
seventh street station, who made the
arrest, briefly told the circumstances
of it.' Mahler was remanded to await
the coroner's investigation.
