THE ADDRESS.
WIN. GERHARDT.

Text-"They that take the sword,
shall perish by the sword
SOLDIERS AND CoUNTRYMEN:
We have met this evening perhaps
for the last time. We have shared the
toll of the march, the peril of the fight
and the dismay of the retreat alike.
We have endured the cold and hun
ger, the contumely Of the internal foe
and the courage of the foreign OPP
pressor. We have sat night after
night beside the camp fire. We have
together heard the roll of the reveille.
which called us to duty, or the beat
of the tattoo, which gave the signal
for the hardy sleep of the soldier, with
the earth for his bed and the KNAPP
sack for his pillow.
And now, soldiers and brethren, we
have met in the peaceful valley on the
eve of battle, while the sunlight is
dying away beyond yonder heights
the sunlight that tomorrow will glim-
er on scenes of blood. We have met
amid the whiting tents of our encamp-
ment; in time of terror and gloom
have we gathered together-God
grant that it may not be for the last
time.
1t is solemn moment. Brethren,
does not the solemn voice of nature
seems to echo the sympathies OF the
hour? The flag Of our country droops
heavily from yonder staff. The breeze
has died away along the green plain
of Chad's Ford. The plain, that
spreads before us, glitters with sun
light. The heights of the Brandywine
arise gloomily and grand beyond the
waters OF yonder stream. All nature
holds pause of solemn silence, on the
eve of uproar and bloodshed and strife
of tomorrow.
"They that take the sword, shall
perish by the sword.
And have they not taken the sword9
Let the desolate plain, the blood
sodden valley, the burned farm houses,
blackening in the sun, the sacked
villages, and the ravaged towns an
swer-let the whitened bones of the
butchered farmer, strewn along the
fields of his homestead. answer-let
the starving mother, with her babe
clinging to the withered breast, that
can afford no sustenance-let her an
swer with the death-rattle mingling
with the murmuring tones that mark
ed the last struggles OF her life-let
the dying mother and her babe an
swer.
1t was but day past and our land
slept in the quiet of peace. War was
not here. Wrong was not here.
Fraud and woe, misery and want
dwelt not among us. From the eter-
nal solitude of the green woods arose
the blue smoke of the settlers cabin,
and golden fields of corn looked forth
from amid the waste of the wilderness
and the glad music of human voices
awoke the silence of the forest.
Now, God Of mercy! behold the
change under the shadow of pre-
text, under the sanctily Of the name
of God, invoking the Redeemer TO
their aid, do these foreign hirelings
Stay our peoplel They throng our
towns-they darken our plains, and
now they encompass our posts on the
lonely plain OF Chad's Ford.

Fifty-first Congress by kicking in a

A BREWERY FIRE.
A Lacrosse Plant Destroyed, Causing a
Loss OF Over 100000.

A Lacrosse Plant Destroyed, Causing a
Loss OF Over 100000.
Lacrosse, Wis, September 23-Early
this morning fire was discovered in the
roof of the brew house of the John
Gund Brewing Company's plant. The
night Waterman turned in the alarm,
and although every company in the
city responded, this morning nothing
but the bare walls of one of the most
extensive mailing and brewing estab-
lishments in the Northwest remained.
The roof and inside wood work were
dry as finder and the flames spread
rapidly to the other buildings of the
plant. The malt house contained sew
eral car loads of malt and about 5000
bushels Of barley, which was Destroy
ed. The Office building, which stands
across the street, was not burned, and
a part of the engine room was also
saved. The cold storage contained
about 10000 barrels of beer, which is
also destroyed.
The total loss will exceed $500, 900,
about half of which is covered by in
surance in various old line companies.
The plant will be rebuilt as soon as
the debris can be cleared away. The
output of the brewery was 100000 bar
res year, and it employed about $50
men. 1t was founded in 1858, and had
been one of the leading institutions
since that time.

LETTING SPAIN DOWN.
A Chance to Retire Gracefully From the
Cuban War

A Chance to Retire Gracefully From the
Cuban War
Madrid, September 23-The CORE
spondent of the Associated Press learns
upon high authority that the interview
of Saturday last between United States
Minister Woodford and the Spanish
minister for foreign affairs were mere
ly preliminary. Gen. Woodford repre-
sented to the minister the gravity of
the condition of Cuba, and requested.
on behalf of the United States. that
Spain would find a method of speedily
ending the war and giving justice to
the Cubans. He offered the good Of
fees of the United States in effecting a
settlement Of the Cuban troubles,
which practically gives to Spain an op-
portunity Of gracefully ending the war;
If she does not embrace it within a
reasonable time notice will be given
that the United States must interfere,
though Gen. Woodford has not said SO
yet.
Spain cannot expect aid of European
powers, as the United States ambassa-
doris have ascertained that all the
European countries except Austria rec
OgniZe that the interests of the United
States justify the latter's interference
in Cuba. Austria, in this matter. is
influenced by the relationship of the
two dynasties, the Queen Regent of
Spain being an Austrian Archduchess;
but it is not likely that Austria will
take any part in the question beyond
possibly making diplomatic protest
against the Intervention of the United
States.

No Nosd Now for the Labor Congress in
Chicago.

No Noed Now Tor the Labor COnEreao In
Chicago.
Washington, d. c., September "a
The executive council Of the American
Federation of Labor met at the head
quarters OF the organization in this
city to discuss the mining situation.
There were present President Samuel
Gompers, Secretary Frank Morrison,
P. ]. Mcclure, of Philadelphia; James
Duncan, of Baltimore; James O'Con-
nell, of Chicago; M. NJ. Garland, Of
Pittsburg; NJ D. Ratchford, President
of the United Nine Workers; Cameron
Miller, of the executive board of the
United Mine Workers, and Frank j.
Weber, one of the Federation's labor
organizers in the West Virginia min
ing district The council issued an adj
dress, which in part, is as follows:
"a ,call has gone forth to the trades
unions and public for labor conven-
ton in Chicago next Monday. The os-
tensible objects are to take measures
in aid of the miners on strike, and to
offset the sweeping powers of the
courts in granting injunctions in def
ance of popular rights during labor
disputes. Those objects are very COM
mendable snd worthy of the active
practical support Of every trade I'M
ionist and of every lover of his fellow
man. But conditions have somewhat
changed since that convention was
agreed upon. This week fully $4,000
miners have gone to work on terms
fixed jointly by the miners and the
operators. 1t is the greatest victory
gained by trades unions in years. 1t
was won against the combined power
Of wealth, judicial usurpations and in
human tyranny.
I'VE can see no need for the labor
convention in Chicago next Monday.
We advise our unions not to be repre-
sented there. The money it would
cost to send delegates had better go to
help the suffering miners and their
families. 1t is not by conventions with
irresponsible talk, infammatory de-
claration and revolutionary buncombe
that the cause of labor can be advanc-
ed. Violent appeals to the passions of
the multitude can serve no good pur-
pose. 1t is only systematic organiza-
ticn of the working people in trade
unions, with united hearts and united
funds, and a fraternity of purpose
which knows no bounds of creed, color.
nationality or politics, that will uplift
the masses"

WITNESSES FOR DEFENSE.
Continued from First Page.

that she was with Emma Schimpke
on the night of May until IL O'Clock
and remained with the Schimpke girl
until the latter entered her home. She
denied emphatically that either of
them had seen Luetgert and his wife
leave the latterS residence and go to
the sausage factory, as described. She
denied also that Gottlieba Schimpke,
who testified that she also saw Luet-
and herself that night. Furthermore,
the witness said that Emma Schimpke,
since she had testified in the case, had
admitted to the witness, in the pres
ence of others, that she had lied. Ac-
cording to the witness, Emma
Schimpke said she lied because Got
lieba, her weak-minded sister, had
got her into the Luetgert case, and
she would not testify on Luetgert's
Side. The witness also stated that
Emma Schimpke tried to get her to
tell the same story Emma had told to
save the latter's reputation.
States Attorney Deneen went at this
witness with one of the most remarka-
BILE cross-examinations ever heard in
the Criminal Court. His questions
were fired at her with the rapidity
of repeating rifle worked to the limit
of its speed. The witness was quick
witted and replied promptly for
awhile, but she was not as resourceful
as the lawyer, and after half an hour
she became confused and her face
blazed with excitement. Then she be-
gan to contradict herself as to impor-
tant particulars, and made corrections
which weakened her evidence.
Late in the afternoon the witness who
had testified that he saw Mrs. Luetgert
in Kenosha and that she was a woman
weighing 140 pounds, announced that
he desired to correct his testimony. He
took the stand and delivered himself of
the following:
when l said the woman weighed
140 pounds | meant to say she weighed
about lis. l was thinking of her age
when l made my former statement"
Whats that?" asked States Attor-
ney Deneen.
Il was thinking of her age when
said she weighed 40 pounds"
You mean, do you, that she was
about 40 years old and weighed lis
pounds. Is that it?"
That's it, 1 was thinking of her
age"
That's ALL" said the States Attor-
ney, and Sholey stepped down.
The crowd at the court house to-day
was larger than usual and the strug-
gle to secure admission to the court
room partook of the nature of a riot
Hundreds were turned away, and the
Ulcers on duty at the door had several
encounters with unruly visitors. \
