now being waged between the Arbuckle Coffee
Company and the Woolson Spice Company, the
sales of coffee during the week now ending nave
been far in excess of any similar period during
the past year. Coffee brokers declared to-day
that their sales had been doubled. The Woolson
Spice Company, which is controlled by the Have
meyers. is selling Rio No. at &c a pound Not
to be outdone the Arbuckles have made a reduc-
tion in their prices. Coffee is now cheaper than
IT has been since before the say the old
dealers and if the fight lasts there is no telling
at what price it will go for. Another reason for
the low price is to be found in the enormous
quantity Of green coffee now here.

and vows of fidelity: They Informed
the woman that if she would stand by
Luetgert he would go away with her
when the trouble was over and they
would ever after be happy in each
others company. i i. -.
Luetgert was placed in the strong
light of lover who was waiting to
gain his freedom to join the woman
with whom he was infatuated. 'Dear
precious Cristine" his letters were ad-
dressed. Their effect upon the jury
was remarkable. Here was a man
charged with the murder of his wife
posing as the lover of another woman
and writing her letters which showed
that their relations dated far back OF
the alleged crime. Luetgert trusted the
wealthy widow. He expected that she
would furnish him the money to pay for
his defense, and when he had gained
his freedom they would be happy to-
gether.
How the state induced the woman to
desert the man who felt that he had the
right to send her such letters did not
appear. Until recently she was con.
sidered the strongest and stanchest
friend the defendant had. 1t even had
been limited that she was cognizant
of the sausage makers guilt. 1t was
known that she had been forbidden the
house by the wife of the defendant. II
was also known that she had supplied
him with money while in Jail and had
lent him money before his trouble
came. 1t was the original purpose OF
the state to make Christine Feldt the
motive for the crime. There was evi

dence to warrant this. The woman
realized the position in which she had
been placed by Luetgert and deter
mined to place herself right before the
public.
Luetgert was visibly affected by the
appearance of Mrs. Feldt as witness.
His effort to appear unconcerned was
painful. Slowly the great drops of per-
spiration came upon his forehead and
trickled down his wrinkled face and
ran down his huge neck. The fear that
showed in his face was intense. He
tried to laugh, and it was hollow
sham. Then he sank deep down in his
chair and diligently wiped from his
face the perspiration that was coursing
down it. The blow had struck home.
Gottlieba Schimpke, IA years of age,
testified that on the night of the disap-
pearance of Mrs. Luetgert she saw at
about II o'clock, as she was returning
from dance, the defendant and his
wife enter the factory This was at a
time when the Waterman was absent.
Luetgert having sent him on an errand
to drug store. On cross-examination
the girl broke down badly, and denied
several things she had previously said.
She was given time to compose herself,
and took the chair again. She broke
down second time, and then the court
took matters into his own hands, and
asked her if she saw Mrs. Luetgert en-
ter the factory that night in company
with her husband. She was very posi-
tive that she had seen them.

COST OF THE STRIKE.
II IL Estimated That the Miners Have
Lost $40 500. 600

Pittsburgh, Pa, Sept. 6.-Itis safe to
/ say that the miners strike will end
within "A week. 1t is understood here
that the national officials of the miners
union are willing to accept the opera
tors offer of a compromise at IS cents,
an advance of II cents, although the
strikers wanted 60 cents.l The Pitts
burgh miners, or majority of them,
are still insisting upon the 69-cent rate,
but as their delegates to the Columbus
convention will go uninstructed it is
probable they will be persuaded to vote
for the compromise. s25s#5t
The battle has been costly one for
the strikers, according to estimates
made by their own officials. It is hoped
work will be resumed by Friday next,
just ten weeks since the strike ordered
went into effect, and in that time the
strikers have lost in wages $10,500, 600.
1t is estimated that in the bituminous
coal districts of the country, including
Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, In
diana, Illinois, Iowa and other states,
$4,000 men were idle. The average earn
ings of the men is put at ST 40 day.
! If the compromise is accepted it will
take two years of steady work for the
strikers to recover what they have lost.
Although the strikers are by far the
heaviest losers. the operators claim that
they too have lost, or rather will lose,
$1,ooo,0oo. The operators say that up
to date they have lost no money, be-
cause they have been able to sell at
fancy prices immense piles of slack and
mine refuse that is ordinarily worth
nothing. But the advance of IL cents
proposed will result in their filing a
number of large contracts at loss, and
for this there is no remedy until new
contracts are made. The operators
say there is but 100000 tons yet to be
shipped to the lakes under contract,
but they are afraid they will not be able
to get it out in time, because there will
be shortage of cars just as soon as the
miners resume work.

Some antiquarians in the state of
Washington, who were evidently under
the impression that nothing is sacred
to a scientist, have been required to re-
inter the remains they recently removed
from an Indian graveyard. 1t seems
that the relics belong to an existing
tribe who are not particularly inter-
ested in ethnology, and desire to be let
alone. Learned pundits should be care
full to restrict their grave explorations
to prehistoric man, who has no surviv-
ing friends, and who should regard it
as very high compliment to be ticketed
and given a place among the properties
of a scientific museum.

Awful Result of d Boiler Explosion at

Peoria, ILL.,, Sept. 6.-Morton, Taze-
well county, ten miles from Peoria, was
the scene of terrible explosion Sun
day afternoon. Title and Emma Boyer
were killed outright, and Albert Boyer,
Frank Boyer, Cassie White and Mrs.
Louis Moschel were badly injured. The
Boyer boys will probably die. The
boilers in brick building used as
mill, electric light power house and
pumping station exploded, demolishing
the building and damaging the water
tower, $50 feet distant. Houses for
blocks were also damaged. Fireman
George Grimm entered the builing a few
minutes before five o'clock, started the
fires in the boiler and then went home
for supper. He says there was Is
pounds of steam and cannot explain
what caused the explosion, The Boyer
children were playing in the yard next
to the mill and were unable to get away.
The boiler caught one of the little girls
and carried her $50 feet, she landing
on the top of barn. She was crushed
to pieces. Flying iron crushed the skull
OF her sister, killing her outright.
