Jealousy Drove a Young Man to AttempY Murder of His Sweetheart and Suicide. THE WOMAN WAS SAVED. Had a Miraculous Escape From Death The Wouid-Be Murderer Shot Himself When Under Arrest. Philadelphia, May 25.

A sensational attempt at murder and suicide took place at a hotel here last night, when John A. Jenkins of Brooklyn, N. attempted to kill a young woman named Mae Barber of this city, and then blew his brains out while in the grasp of a policeman. The couple registered at the hotel last evening as man and wife. li was just about midnight when screams were heard coming from the fourth floor of the hotel.

A woman was seen to be hanging by her dress out of the window. A policeman ran up the stairs and met a man rushing down. He grasped him and was returning with him up the stairs, when the man suddealy drew a revolver from his hip pocket and blew out his own brains. Leaving the prostrate man 'On the stairs, the officer and several hotel servants wedt to the room from the window of which. the woman was hanging imd drew her in.

As soon as she saw she was saved she fainted. Jenkins's body was sent to the morgue, and Miss Barber was sent to the Central police station, where she made a statement. She said she had kepi company with Jenkins for more than a year. "He was of a jealous" disposition. He plagued me stf much of late that I notified him that I would have nothing.

to do with him. Yesterday afternoon he came to my boarding place and induced me to take a sail on the Delaware river to a pleasure resort near Gloucester. We returned to the city tonight and Went to the hotel for refreshments. The moment! we entered the room he locked the door, drew a pistol and told me he was going to kill me. He threatened to either shoot me or throw me out of the window.

He said he could not live vwithout me, and that I would be dead before 12 o'clock. pleaded with him to spare my life, but he was obdurate. Placing the pistol at my head he forced me to write at his dictation the ltttef to my landlady. Then I thought I might save my life by resorting to strategy. I asked him for one drink before I and he ordered beer.

When the waiter appeared with the beer, I sprang to the window and attempted to jump out into the street. My. dress caught and held me, and then I knew no more." Miss Barber Said that Jenkins was a geutlehian. finely educatedL. He had a position with the Keystone Telephone Company in this city, and he never dissipated.

"My intentions with him have always been good. Probably his life was ruined through jealousy." Jenkins was about 33 years of age and. Miss Barber about, 23. She was handsome and well dressed. She is said to have held the position of waitress In the restaurant of a large department store in this city.

i WORKS TO REOPEN. Commendable Action by the Brooks Company, for Which Dunkirk is Grateful. Special to. The Commercial: Dunkirk, May 25. The cheering news was given out last night to the employes of the Brooks Locomotive Works that the shops would reopen on Monday next.

However, this does hot indicate that the strike of machinists and metal workers is settled. The shops were closed on Tuesday last with the intention of taking a complete inventory before the works were transferred to the American Locomotive Company. President Stevens ordered that the shops be not closed during the inventory, oVing to the depression in business which it would cause and the great hardship maty employes wiitild endure. So, accordingly, a notice Was issued which reads as follows: Brooks Locomotive Works, Dunkirk, N. May 24, ,190 1.

I Notice. The presideht has received instructions from Harvey, Fisk Son, ths bankets in New York chaigs of the affairs of the American Locomotive Company, to Commence taking inventory at onCe and further expl litis that the original agreement with the purchasers provided that an inventory should be taken while plant is running. This for reasons easily understood would bean unsatisfactory method but was so arranged in crde that the employes would not be laid off nor the output depleted during the inventory period. The inventory can, of Course, be taken in a much more satisfactory manner with the AVOrkS closed. At least three weeks will be consumed In taking the inventory and whichever method is adopted will of necessity be continued until inventory is completed.

6nt 6f consideration for employes hot parties jfo the issue and others involved who have expressed a desire to return to work Mr. Stevens directs that the shops be opened for work on Monday moming.May if sufficient number of men In mil departments report to justify it the Works will run While inventory is being taken as originally intended, otherwise the Works must remain closed pending the inventory, at the close of which the plant will be turned over to the American Locomo-tire Company; Brooks Locomotive Works. All the employes Will be paid this afternoon at three o'oloeki On Monday, it is presumed that all the strikers will return to work. This is the grheral te-llef In Dunkirk. The men are being advised to do so, and if they are dissatisfied with tho concessions already made by the company, it is an easy matter to hold conferences and try to adjust griev-Bheos later on.

The attitude of the officials of the shops is highly Commendable, and the effort ta settle the strike is appreciated by every residentf ijuukirk. The strikers, are making, no trouble and meet every day at Wheeler's Hall, The Brooks Company requested the appointment of 20 spef-ial policemen to protect the shops, and' the request was granted by the Board of Police Commissioners, Ney York Contractors, Will Fight.

American Endeavors to Plant Civil Nation Among the Moros Meet Little Encouragement.

Corresoondence of. the! Associated Press. Jolo. Island of Suln. March US.

-The hopefulness which has always beea a marked characteristic Of he United States Philippine commission was l.ot increased by that body's visit to the Suln archipelago. While little in the way. of improvement was expected from the Moros the unencouraged fact developed Ur the brief contact with those people was that they showed ho desire for anything different from therr old way of giving allegiance to the nearest dattos and to the Sultan; paying to them their trifling poll itax, and, when convicted pf a not uncommon occurrence, stealing more in order to pay thejr tines and avoid being sold into slavery. Close acquaintance with the barbaric" backwardness of these people was an object- lesson the commission, and at the close of the visit they were in a state of considerable uncertainty as to how to deal with the situation. They took a lot of testimony from military officers, foreigners and dattos, with a iew to future deliberation.

Slavery and polygamy appear to be as strongly implanted as ever among the Moros. It is a universal opinion of the Americans who tisit Jolo that any attempt to abolish either at present would be idle, and Judge iTaft, iu his first formal interview with the Sultan, assured him that there was no purpose of interference with any of the habits, customs or religion pf the inhabitants. The whole outfit from master to naked little boy, take far more pride in petty warlike prestige than in any sort of industry. The pdatto reads nothing, keeps no tct'ounts, maintains as many wives as pleases him and lives a life of idleness and ignorance. -His only la is the Koran, and he is very apt to interpret that to suit himself.

There can be no question that Jolo continues to sustain its claim to being the cleanest town in the Philippines, but being a' military reservation it is hardly so wonderful that its broad roadways are always neatly spread with clean sand, its gutters trimly built of stone, and its houses tscriuiulously neat in their frej ouent coats of paint and, whitewils.h. Malaria, however, is1 still very prevalent. A considerable percentage of the four companies 'of troops stationed here are usually ill, but the malaria rarely has a directly fatal result. The dattos talk much more freely When the-armv officers are not Within hearing." In sneaking with the Associated Press correspondent, they ins-isted that the town of Jolo ought to be freed from the restrictions and severities of a military government. They admitted that it would be out of t-he question for the Moros to have the slightest share in a self-government scheme, but they believe that the civil affairs of the place ought to be governed by a president, secretary-treasurer, and oossibly a small committee of councillors ari'ointed by the J.

commission. They would not, theyasaid, object to the presence of troops in fact, they were glad to have that protection but they wore of one mind in I wanting slight measure of civil town government in ac cordance with American ad against Span- ideas and customs. 1 GRAND BANQUET OF VETERANS.

MM M) 9 There isn't a man who would be seen running through the street munching a piece of pie. Why not? Because It would mean dyspepsia and stomach, trouble? Not at all; but because it wouldn't look well. As a matter of fact many a business man snatches a lunch in such a hurry that he might as well take it on the run. That is one reason for the prevailing "stomach trouble among men of business. There Is a certain remedy for diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition.

It is Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, The worst cases of dyspepsia and Catarrh of the stomach, have been cured by this medicine. It cures where all other means have failed to cure.

CROPS THE FEATURE. Splendid Outlook, Enormous Returns Being Promised, Es- pecially in. Kansas. New York, May 25. Bradstreet's weekly report of trade says: The general situation is still largely favorable, the primary encouraging feature being the fine outlook for tho country's crops, Industrial conditions head of disturbing features, but con-fideilco in conservatism and good Counsel is widespread and the effect Upon general business exerted by the largest number of men idle for several years past has been apparently minimized.

The iron and steel, leather and shoes, lumber and coal; trades return the best-reports. Despite-the prospects for an enormous crop of wheat, prices hold steady Owing to the growing impression that foreign demands will be considerably enlarged. Germany, especially, is expected to be. a liberal, buyer. All in all the situation therefore may be Classed as one Of much encouragement, With prospects fof legitimate business generally equal to and in some respects, superior to anything in the past.

Such unanimity as to good crop reports has rarely been seen at this period of the year. From the winter wheat belt reports continue very Optimistic, especially favorable advices being received from Kansas Which promises a yield of 100,006,000 bushels nnd the only anxiety expressed is for a sufficient supply of labor to harvest the enormous crop, Stock exchange transactions at New York have fallen Off in a decided manner, the public Interest in speculation being on a limited scale. Dun Company's Dun's Wenkly; lieviey of Trade saysi The labot situation Is the cloud hover ing over the business world, but the diffl-1 culties are not sufficiently widespread at present to seriously -interfere with the progress of manufacture and distribution. Some settlements of strikes Others seem probable at ah early date, others seem probnbl at an early date. Meanwhile prices hold firm and the capacity of producing plants in thel leading industries is well employed.

A feeling of confidence in the per-marence of talues appears to have settled in all divisions of the Iron and steel manufacture. Correspondents cf R. CJ. Dun Company report the winter wheat outlook steadily improving and there is every reason to anticipate an abundant harvest. Atlantic exports have been large for the past week, including flour, amounting to 3,092,413 bushels; against in the same week last year and in 1890.

Speculation in May corn has quieted down, but the general level of this cereal continues far above normal prices and more liberal receipts have been attracted to interior cities; for the week 3,667,042 bushels were received against last year. On the other hand, foreign buying is restricted, Atlantic exports being only bushels against 3,534,073 A year ago. Comparative quiet prevails-as to cotton. Liabilities of failures in three weeks of May were but $4,779,103, of which were in manufacturing, in trading and $1,176,809 in other commercial lines. In the same weeks last year defaults aggregated Failures for the week numbered: 180 in the United States, against 185 last year, and 22 in Canada against 20 last year.

Crop Conditions In Europe. London, May 25. -The, Mark Lane Express, commenting upon the adverse weflther conditions, says: "At present there is no probability of the wheat harvest beginning in July, even in Sussex and Thanet, in East An-glia it is not likely to be gathered before the third week in August. The present Cereal year, therefore, will have to find food for 55 weeks. "Reports from Austria-Hungary show over an average wheat promise in the Austrian Tyrol, Hungary, Bohemia and Silesia; a fair average in Croatia ihid Bosnia, and below the average in Galicia and Transylvania.

"In -Algeria the harvest is beginning and a good yield Is anticipated." RAILROAD LOST HEAVILY. Floods Damaged Property of South ern Ho ad to txtent or Asheville. May 25.

Butler. Mr. Schelling said that the city's expenditure was so great at this time, and a stenographer's charges so Small, that It Would he better for the members of the committee to "chip in" and pay the Stenographer for the first month anyway.

He said that a first-class stenographer could be secured for $75 a month. Mr. Butler said that he did not want to establish a precedent. He Said that for 14 years he had been serving the city, on the grade' crossing commission; the board of managers of the Grosvenot Llbfary, the normal school and the Society for the Prevention ot Cruelty to Children, of which he Is no president, that he thought he was doing enough If he gave up four-fifths of 'his time without paying out any money.
