The secretary Inutilgoi In a retrospection
of the work of thodoDnrtmont under his art-

prtuto in submitting his lost report. In It ho
brlclly refers to tlio specially Important
measures undertaken and carried out during
this administration : to the largo increase l.i
the divisions of the work and the Important
part wiilch the now divisions have played In
extending the usefulness and maintaining
the unicloncy ot the department.

CIIICAOO , 111. , Nov. 20. The annals of
Chicago record no moro horrible crltiio nor
ono accompanied by moro sensational details
than that which brought Heath Into n homo
his morning , liy the acts of n young man ,
a double murder was committed , two people
voundcd and the murderer narrowly escaped
iulonco nt the hand ? of n thousand citizens.
Herman Settler , a Gernuui , living with
its xvlfo and throe children nt tbo residence
of his wife' * parents , shot his father-in-law
and mother-in-law , , instantly killing each.
Us next visit was to his wife , but she was
only slightly wounded , lloforo the pollco
vcro able to disarm Selglor n number of
ihots wcro cxohango'd 'and ho wus wounded
n the right side by a bullet from a police
man's tovolver. Ho was removed to the
mspltul.
Solglor occupied ibo lower Hoar ot the
10U9U , while his wife's parents lived on the
leer above. It wns In the front parlor nnd
nillway downstairs that the shooting oc
curred.
At 8 o'clock this morning Bulgier put on
; ils hat nud overcoat prcpiratory to leaving
the houso. Ho told his wife ho hit ended go
tig hunting mm he went to the rosldeuco of
ds brother to borrow a shotgun. Ho secured
; ho gun , together with fifteen curtriJges.
Selglor did not tarry long at hU brother's
homu and returned to his own rosldenco ,
where ho arrived nt 10 o'clock. Ho entered
uy the front door , wont back through the
tiallwny and placed the gun in a small closet
In the kitchen. Ho took It out almost Imme
diately nnd returned to the parlor where his
children wero. Ills wife was In the rear part
of tto house and the first Intimation of any
disturbance wns when Selglcr's little 10-year-
old son began to scream.
Act I'll I.lkl ) it I'loiid.
" 1'aps , put dowu Hint gun , " ho was hoard
to say by Mrs. Siles , Soldier's niother-in-
law , who was with her husband upstairs.
Mrs. Silos hurried dow'n to ibo parlor and as
shu entered the room Soigler attempted to el
evate the cun us though ho Intended to shoot
her. She did not hesitate a moment , out
rushed up to Seiglor und throwing her arms
about bis neck tried .to take the gun away
Irom him.
"ICuop nwny , " shouted Solglor , as ho
pushed the aged woman aside. Then
pointing the gun against her left breast ho
llrod. She sunk to the floor dead.
Mrs. Scigler , heirlDjrtbosliot : , ran Into the
house of Mrs. Frcdosicka Heydcn , calling
tor assistance. As she passed through the
hallway she took lujr children with her.
Lo.wlntr the children'in ' Mrs. Hoyden's care
Mrs Soiglor hnstcm-d'ljacK ' to her home , and
as she entered the .front door another shot
was Hied by her husband. It is supposed
that It wus intended tfor the body of Mrs.
Sites , out some shoVmniruclc Mrs. Slocler.
Una entered her right breast. None ot those
wounds will resulufntally.
These shots arousedj Air. Silos nnd he do
tccudod into the hallway. As ho stepped
from the lower stepto/tho floor Soiplor moo
him and , raising the gun , which ho had re
loaded , llrod. At .tho same time Mr. Siles
raised his right arm-tn shield nis face. It re
ceived the full chnriso.asthc-two were within
two feet of each otyuii The Ilcsh was torn
from the bonoand a niiniber of shot entered
his right side. It is cbelievod that Selcler
then dUchargetljtbiTottic. ! ' lend of the gun lu
his fnlhuT-lr.-Iaw's face , for portions of the
neon and check were torn'away. The shoot
ing occurred' while the congregation was
leavluir the Lutheran , chttrch of Uothlehem
close by.
tiirrntinllml by n .Mob.
Soon between l.yofl.nnd 1,500 peopi' were
surrounding the house and a call "wns sent
for the police. They sooi. arrived. An
oftlcor opened the frontdoor nnd stepped
over the dead body of Mrs. Siles. Slcgler
WHS then in the dining room and as ho saw
the ofllecrs hn raised tuo gun which ho Mill
hold. Ho did not lire , however , Jor Officer
Simonson hurriedly turned nnd ran out to
the sidewalk. Slcgler followed and whou bu
retched the door hu threw it open.
The people who had collected In front of
the house foil b.ick , and us Onlccr Simonson
drew hU lovolvor ho ordered Siegler to sur-
icndcr. The hitter's reply was a shot from
"
the gun which hn aimed "nt the otllcnr , out
Ihonbol went high of its marl : ami hurt , no
ono. Hlmouson returned the lire , and Sieplcr
staggered back with a bullet hi .his right
side. Other ofllcora had arrived o.y thl-t
lime , mid nn advance was made on thn
house. Oillcer * Donahue and Poloy tried to
force open the front door , which Sioglor bad
locked whoa he staggered back Into the
house , and were greeted with a dl charge
from Slegler's cun. Ofliecr Donahue's
clothing was torn by the shot and ho re
ceived a slight 11 call wound in the face.
After this Selcler wunt to the rear of tbo
house und remained some time in the kitchen.
Qftleer McCartney stui-iod Into a residence
across the alloy and was standing on the
front stops when ho saw Solgler pass the
dining room window in hU own house , going
toward the front door. The latter came out ,
still holding l n gun und appearing da/ed.
Ho started north on Paulina street.
Ciipdirnil I Itu .Miinlnri-r.
Ofllcer McCartney slipped up behind him ,
seized him bv the throat and be fur o any re-
slstniico could ho offered wrenched iho cun
f.om his hands. With his prisoner In cu -
tody ami ' .vltli assistance from olhor patrol
men , Oftlcor McUirtnoy found It by no
moans an easy task to p'nco ' Soigler In n pa
trol wa..on. He and Olacor Simonson. each
holding the man with a linn grasp , started
toward Iho nearest patrol wagon.
"Ho will never gut out of this , " shouted
one man as ho made un oftorl to strike
eclor with hu list.
Throats of violence weio heard un every
hand , and the police saw n number of re
volvers drawn by citi/ens whose actions ir.
dlcnted that thov were anxious to punish the
murderer boioro ho could bo placed In the
hands of Iho low. Kepoatotlly Slogler wus
struck by men whoso Inicrt'urunco could not
bo prevented by thu policemen , Hu was at

. ' The llrltiR by Slugler continued nnd some
windows In the basement of the church were
broken. Some of those who had remained
at the service now rushed forth und then the
batllo began. Stcglor would suddenly ap
pear ul n wliutmv then lire nnd dodge back
so quickly thst the ofllcors could not cot a

madunt the Dudley observatory by i'rof.
Lewis Boss Indicate clearly that the Holmes
comet Is not identical with the comet of
Blola , nnd that it will not coiuu near thu

the very slow apparent .movements of the

observations thus far. The slightest
deviation in the nccuraoy of observation
changes the position of the comotln hp.ico bv
enormous intervals.Vcuks must elapse be
fore thoroughly Vflliablii results can bo ob
tained. It Is likely that the Holmes comet Is
very far beyond thu orbit of the earth ,
It appears almost certain that the distance
of thu Holmes comet from thu ourth is in-
cruuslng rather than diminishing. Why it
was not discovered weeks or months ugo is
n mvstury , for It should have been brighter
lu October limn It Is now , The ascertained
facts In icgiird to this comet will oajsu a collapse -

HOMKSTEUI , Pn , Nov. 20. The great
sliikent Uarnogio's IloinoiteaM works hn
been declared off. After u tlvo months'
struggle , which , for bltternoji , has prooably
never boon equaled in this country , the
strlkor.i finally decided today to glvo up the
Ight. This action was token nt n meeting
of the lodges of the Amalgamated nssoula-
tlou at llomustoad this afternoon , the vote
standing 101 in favor of declaring the
strike off , and uluoty-ouo ncnlnst lu Among
; hose present nt the mooting were Vlco
[ 'resident Carney , Secretary Kllgalton ,
Treasurer Madden und David Lynch of the
idvisory bo.ird. The olllumls nddroisod the
members und in plain words told them the
strike wus lost nud advised them to take
steps to hotter tbctrcondition.
The remarks mot with considerable oppo
sition , but xvhun thu vote was taken it
showed a majority of ton lu favor of declar
ing the strike off.
Those who \vuro In favor of calling Iho
strike off were jubilant , while those who
worn ngalusl It wtro badly put out. Most of
the latter were men who wcro nusllrnto , und
muny of thorn were men who had elthor uu-
plied for positions h : tln > mill and hud been
refused or felt sura their names were on thu
company's blink lUt and could not got posi
tions. A member of the advisory bo.ird said
today that ho had been trying to got the
strike declared off for some weeks , as Ho
know It was lost and it , would have been bet
tor for thu men , us a grout many more of
them could have gotten their places bank.
Condition of the
Those who cannot got bark lira In a bad
llx , us the relief lands will bo stopped
ami mauy hundreds of them have
nothing to llvo on. The people In
Homestead , especially , are highly elated
over iho declaration to cull the strlko
off , for if It hud continued much longer It
would Imvo ruined the town. Mativ houses
have fallen Into llio hands of Miorifti since
tbo slriiii ) bus been on. Husinuss Is ex
pected to resume its no nun I condition suon.
The Homcstoad strike has proved one of
the most disastrous in the history
of the country. It , originated from a
reduction lu wiigcs In thoaopartmeuts whcro
members of the Amalgamated Association of
Iron and StuelVoikors were employed. The
wngos were on what is known as the sliding
sculo. This Healo regulated the price of
wages by the murkol price of stunl.
Nearly every map in this villaso
Mcned thu scale Including olhur
inlilt of the Carnegie company.
At the refusal of the linn to sign the hn.ilo
for the Homoileiiu mill a lock-out occurred
by the Am-ili : limited association and they
were joined by tnc mechanics and laboreis ,
who struck out ol sympathy only , their
wages not being reduced.
1'he strikers worn determined tn Itcop non
union men out of the mills and adopted mili
tary discipline. The story of iho arrival and
bloouy light with the Pinltertons on .lulyO ,
thu.subsequent military proceedlnss nnd the
calling out of the national ginii-d and its do-
pirturo utter throe months' duty is too well
known to repjat.
ItL'liiM'd lo Ailnill Don-ill ,
For.six weeks tha mill bus been running
almost as well u ? before the strike , but until
within thn Inst week the slilkoiMUavu stead-
lasily retuscd to admit defeat. Thu news of
today's actions was iccoivud with dismay by
the strikers in thu two Lawrcncovillo mills
of the Carneglcs. These inun were In sym
pathy with the strikers and went out when
the men at the IK'.ivor Pulls und Duqucsnc
mills struck. Tlio Duquesne men gave up
the strike In three weeks and the Heaver
Palls strikers decided to go buclr jojtoulay.
The La\\eucevlllo men , however , were
sienatast and had no intention of giving in.
They arts now in Hto poiition of strlUInu for
