Kennedy and Mr. Frank Padgett, the president and secretary of Columbia Typographical Union, 101, walked into the job printing office of Mr. Rufus Darby, ! and in ten minutes half of Mr. Darby's com- positors had put on their coats and walked out. It was the second edition of the strike of last March when all the compositors in job printing offices struck for 9 hours and higher pay, the Darby office being the only one to hold out against the demands. Since that time the fight has been carried on quietly, but with deter- mination on both sides, and the walk latest move on the checker ret strike Mr. Darby lost twenty-two men whose places he filled with non-union men and continued to run as usual. Ata simple signal today from President Ken- twelve of these recruits laid down sticks and it was seen that the dozen had been influenced by the arguments so plenti- fally showered on them snd had joined the union. Eleven men remained at iheir cases nd Mr. Darby's little army has been about evenly divided. NOW ON STRIKE ALLOWANCE.

ALL POUR PEOPLE MMPLicaTED IN THE AFFAIR The facts that have developed today in the Le Coint-Frost shooting would go to show that there is more im the story that yet remains to be explained and accounted for. Just who is most to blame is an un- known quantity and the mystery surround- ing the whole affair does not clear away stall. There are four principals in the affair, | the two men and the two women, and there are | also just four explanations. Were there more | People involved there would probably be more sides to the story. As it is the different ac- to each other and it takes a strong imagination | to harmonize anyftwo of them. Was the man who did the shooting jealous with cause of his wife or of the other woman in case, or was he insanely jealous of either or Doth, with or without cause, or}were be and the two who were shot the victims of a big mintake all around? These area few of the phases that present themselves in the case and go far toward mak- ing it a proper subject for a regular French detective story. Certain it is that Le Cointe | Was insanely Jealous, he claims, of his wife, while the Frost faction say it was on account | of the blonde art student who plays «uch «| Prominent part in the tragedy and with whom, they say, he had been on tris of considerable intimacy. WHEN LE COINTE nOUONT THE PISTOL. | It now turns out that Le Cointe summoned | cab on Friday evening and visited a number of places in search of a wexpou, finally pur- | chasing a thirty-two-caliber pistol, which he | carried loaded in his pocket until carly Sunday | morning, when he discharged ail stx bullets | at bis’ wife and at his erstwhile friend. In the door between the front and rear rooms of Miss Exton’s apartments are the marks of a bullet, which would seem to show that the angry man had fired his weapon before he entered the rear room where he says be found his wife aud his friend in a compromising situation. There are | those who say the Frenchman that an irascible, flighty and imsanoly | Jealous man, who had been drinking and who Was suspicions of some one, he knew not whom, as being too intimate with his wife, and that b shot at the first opportunity without stopping to inquire whether the position in which | he found the trio showed that the man was the more intimate with Mrs. Le Cointe or with Miss Eaton. ‘There | are certain features in the case that lead to the opinion that both men were devoted to the young and unmarried woman and that Le Cointe | was jealous at finding Frost there. WAS 4 SHOT INTENDED FOR Miss BATON? Inan interview at the Emergency Hospital | yesterday Mra. Le Cointe suid that the ebot | fired in the front room was intended for Miss | Eaton, but thet she threw up her arm and | caught the bullet in her right side. She was preparing for bed, sho mid, yoster-| day morning when her husband came'in. He | asked for the poker chips, and she inquired i: he was going to play cards. He said that he was, and just then Miss Eaton, who had a room across the hall, came in complaining that she | was very ill.” Mise Eaton asked for some | brandy, and Mra. Le Cointe said she bad a little, and proceeded to get it. | Mrs. Le Cointe then accompanied Miss Eaton | to the latter's room across the hall and was making her comfortable when ber husband re- turned. Miss Eaton wanted some water and an altercation occurred about procuring it. Le Cointe wanted his wife, the latter declares, to go down stairs and get the water, but she re- | fused to go. ‘Then he suddenly drew his pistol and fired. This morning Le Cointe and Miss Eaton were taken to the Police Court and committed for trial, the former as the principal and the latter as the chief witness for the government. Miss EATON'S SIDE OF THE sour. A Stag reporter saw Mis Eaton and heard her tell her side of the story. Miss Eaton isn young woman with light hair and blue eyes. | She is not at all a beauty and yet ahe is rather attractive in her features and manner. At first she was not anxious to talk, saying that she did not desive publicity and that she had already bad too much of it, but finally «be said that inasmuch ae Mre. Le Cointe had tempted to throw all the blame on her would tell just how the shooting occurred. She had been slow to say anything against Mrs. Le Cointe for the reason tha: they had been very good friends. “Saturday morning.” she said, “I break- | fasted with the Le Cointes, as 1 generall; did. |and Mr. Le Cointe asked Mrs. Le Cointe an me to go over to Baltimore and spend the da; We had not made up our minés when he cai in later and scolded his wife because she was i her wrapper and not ready to go. Frost heard of the Baltimore trip and said he would go, too. A friend of mine,» lady, asked me to spend the afternoon with her, and finally Mr. Le | this afternoon and the prise | thing ever said about immigration. them both aud I would do the same again, only would try to do the work ME. FROST'S EXPLANATION. Mr. Frost was not well enough to be seen to day, but he told his story through the medium of his brother. They were drinking and: rather he went back to put on Mins Faton's as a sort of Mra. Le Cou not well, when the bi front room attending to Miss Eaton, whe usband came in. attempts of the latter to force bi fnto the beck ‘room on of making some water, be thinks, wes chemo So pam’ Oe two im such @ compromising position that he could shoot them, being prime facie eve dence of their apparent guilt. Ther claim that Le Cointe’s devotion to Miss Eaton was the talk of the hoose and that the shooting was the resuit of his jealousy of Frost in that quarter. Frost knew that Le Cointe was insanely jeal- ousand that be was armed i hood and on the lookout, and is absurd to suppose for & moment that there was anything improper between him and Mra Le Comte. FROST DENIES INTIMACY WITH MRS. LE CONTE Yesterday morning when be thought he was dying Frost made what be was hie death-bed statement. In it he firmly denied baving had anything to do with Mrs Le Cointe.

Le COINTE SENT To Jan.

FISHING WITH NETS. A Question Which the Commissioners Have Referred to the Attorney. The act of Murch 2, 1885, prohibited the fiab- ing with nets in the Potomac river within the District of Columbia for five years. ‘The law was up this spring and the result was the river about the city was literally covered with nets of all kinds. ‘The law of April 6, 1880, prohibited the Siah- ing with nets within the boundaries of the Die trict of Columbia after the Sist of May in any year. ‘This morning the harbor master made a swoop upon the fishermen who maintained nets and ordered them to remove all nets with- im a day. The fishermen claimed that the act old act of April, ou us 10 the time 1s80, and there Was no prov of taking up the nets.

Frost was lying down in there and in a little while he came ont and said he would go to his room in the other house to see if everything was all right there. “While he was gone Mrs. Le Cointe came in and stood looking out of the window.
