NORTHEASTERN ROAD Nor SOLD
No Bid for the Property Received.
The Minimum Price 1921, 900,

The Minimum Price $2S7, 900.
Atlanta, Ca, June 21.-The proposed sale
of the Northeastern railroad to-day fell
through. No bids whatever were received.
The governor said he knew this was a
bad time to sell the road, but the resoIu-
ton of the general assembly was man
datory. The road will still be operated
under the management of the state. No
trouble is expected. The railroad is amply
able to make enough to pay interest on
the outstanding bonds in the opinion of
the governor. The minimum price at to-
days Offering was $2S7, 900.

PERRY's PLEA.
Supreme Court Hears the Application
For a New Trial.

Atlanta, Ga, June 21.-The supreme
court has been engaged all day with the
case Of II. L. Perry, who killed L. 3.
Lanier, at Decatur. for an alleged assault
on his wife. THE PLAINTIFF in error
through his attorneys, attacks the judges
charge. The judge should they say. have
defined manslaughter. They also attack
their failure to get continuance, and
they say that the special term during
which the case was tried was not regn-
larry called. The prosecution contends
that the defendants statement was
enough to convict him.

1t was sorrowful news that came over
the wire yesterday afternoon, telling of
the defeat of Savannah by Augusta. The
fans had confidently looked for victory,
and their disappointment was great.
However, the weakened condition of. the
team, and the fact of the game being
played away from home must be taken
into consideration. This makes two
straights for Augusta, and Savannah will
have to wake up and get in the push. The
next game will be played in Savannah
some time next week.

LUETGtRT GOING ON STAND.
Says He Will Demolssh Prosecutions Theory
and That Truth viii Prevail.

Chicago. Sept. 2S.-Luetgert. it is
thought. VIII be put on the witness stand
with little delay now, to tell his story.
He is apparently anxious to get on the
of his innocence. "wait till I tell my
story" said Luetgert. today. II will de-
molish the theory of the prosecution. |
have no fear as to the result of this trial.
The truth must prevail
DIR. L. l.. Riese. one of the medical ex-
perts of the defence. testified as to ex-
~perirents he made at the Luctgert fac
tory and elsewhere with bones and other
material found in and about the watts.
The defence introduced its first medical
expert witness. DR.. b. L. REESE was called
to the stand to tell OF the experiments he
had made in d~isintegratiIs human bodies
with Il 10 per cent. solution of caustic
soda or potash. DR.. REESE first expert
which the body of Mrs. Luetgert is al
legged to have been placed. He said that
the first experiment was with the body Of
a woman s feet. 2 inches tall. and weigh
ing so pounds
The crude potash was emptied into the
vat in the manner Luetgert is alleged TO
have placed the potash in the same recep.
tacle. and the steam was turned on. In
"A few minutes the body was put in the
vat and the whole covered with gunny
for several hours with the result that
very little of the flesh was left. The
physician described the color of the liquid
in the vat which resembled, he said,
vinegar.
The effect of this testimony. which in
fact bore out to a considerable degree
the claims of the prosecution was to es-
tablish enc important point which the
defence has kept in view from the begin
ming. Frank Odorofsky and Frank Bialk
testified that the floor of the basement
near the middle vat was covered with
grease that had flowed from the vat. DIR.
REESE testified that the residue from both
of the bodies boiled in the vat was very
little.
The fat did not amount to over one
twerticif part of an inch. the physician
said. Judge Vincent declared that this
statement substantiated the story of the
defence that Luetgert was making soap
in the vat and the grease in the soap
boiled over.

the regulation ingle-nook in the hall. but
to have a well-equipped hearth today one
needs to spend a goodly sum. Furnish

one comes to get irons, tongs, shovel,

For portieres for both windows and
doors. particularly for those that are
rather large. nothing is so warm or beat
tiful as dark liberty; some of the shades
of brown and terra Gotta are especially
attractive.
Nothing seems TO vary less in design
than chairs. This autumn there is very
little or no change in them. Leather
binding in peculiar and delicate tints put
on with brass nails, either perfectly plain
or fancy, is very much used.
, For a room with gay wall covering.
plain dark coloring for the upholstery of
the furniture will be found more accept
able and vice versa. Dull browns and
shades of dark red will be much in vogue
for chairs this autumn.
The furniture coverings for the COM
ing season are handsomer and more ar
tiSNc tndH ever. Liberty yelvetS are
considered very smart. and deservediy.
The tones are splendid. especially the
blues: the yellow tints are exquisite. and
a sunfiower design seems to be most
prominently is popular favor. All the
color schemes are exceedingly large. so
much so that one blossom or conventions
allied flower will do for a chair seat.
while for the back two with a leaf or two
will suffice. They are one and all charm
ingly effective.
The average housewife. when IN fur
nishing thought intent. is too apt to con-
slider fashion rather than bility.
Don't let this influence you unduly. OF
course. in getting new things one wants
the latest ideas. but make the relative po-
sition best suiting the existing conditions
and requirements your first consideration.
Framed photographs, not portraits,
hung upon the wall are as much in vogue
as water colors or etchings. Bog oak
makes a most effective frame for such.
and a tiny gilded molding inside next the
photograph further nhance it. As a
usual thing a gray mat is better for this
than a pure white one Often the mat
IS omitted altogether.

MASSACHUSETTS REPUBLICANS
Assembling at Boston Tor the Annual State
Convention. Today.

Boston. Sept. 2S.-The night before the
state convention is noted among the Re
publicanS as one devoted to the social
side of life. and tonight was no exception
to the usual custom. The American house
was the Mecca to which representatives
of the party from all sections of the
state flOcked. The hearty grasp of the
hand. the happy greeting of pleasure
when one old friend met another. and
pleasant words of welcome were heard
on all sides. The chief feature of the
evening. however. was the annual recep-
ton rendered by Gov. Wolcott and the
members of the state tick to the visiting
delegates.
Shortly after 8 o'clock. Gov. Wolcott.
attended by Lieut.. Gov. w. Murray
Crane. State Treasurer Shaw, Attorney
General Knowlton and Secretary of State
Olin, appeared in the large reception hall.
which was tastefully decorted for the oc-
casion. and from that time until nearly 10
o'clock. the party Were busily engaged
shaking hands with n continuous line of
enthusiastic delegates and their friends.
Up stairs. above the din and confusion,
engaged preparing the platform for the
party. The convention is expected to
work with regularity. No OPP
position has as yet manifested itself and
the present state officers are expected to
be renominated by reclamation.
Governor Wolcott will be placed in NOM
ination by Senator Henry Cabot Lodge,
while Congressman Moody will ~officiate
in a like position for Lieut.. Gov. Crane.
State Senator Alfred S. Roe of Worces-
ter. will place Attorney General knowl-
tons name before the convention. Some
proceedings of the convention proper will
not take over two hours time. and if
they stay longer it will be to listen to
speeches of favOrite leaders.

National rsbor csavsstssa Having is TsssbIss
with ihs Financial Question.

Chicago, Sept. 28.-When the report
OF the committee on resolutions OF the
National Labor convention was pre-
scented. today, a big row ensued. A
resolution was handed in, yesterday,
approaching the free coinage Of silver
at the ratio Of 16 to !, and the free sill
Yer people In the convention felt GER
tain thai the resolution would be m
bodied In the committees report. When
1t was returned. today, however. 1t
said: I'VE favor the issue OF a staple
legal tender by the government direct
and the establishment of government
savings banks"
1t was finally voted to have the reso-
luton accepted and printed, and at to-
morrow's session will come up for final
passage the silver men will make eff
fort TO have a free silver plank in
serted.
The report is about 1900 words long
and is addressed ITO the Labor and
Reform Organizations OF America" 1t
refers to the Battle against
ly" and speaks of the ballot as the
safest means for reform. It says
among other things I'VE admit the
failure of the strike method. We favor
a series Of national conventions to
which we invite the friends of labor IN
a movement looking toward political
action. We recognize the necessity Of
strikes, but the most effective strike
is the ballot box"
Eugene V. Debs was not present at
today's meeting, and it is understood
that he had nothing to do with the cur
rency plank of the platform.

Nitrogen Wastes.

Nearly he Whole of the nitrogen in
the fodder fed to farm stock is to b.
found in the excreta of the animals, and
one-half of it is contained in the urine.
1t is further well known that rs per cent
of the potash contained in the food of
oxen and sheep may be by
carefully saving the liquid manure only.
II has, however. been ascertained that
stable yard experiences consid-
cradle loss of its fertilizing constituents,
but more especially of nitrogen. when
left to itself in the dung heap. According
to the experiments of Wolff this loss
amounts to SIS per cent of the nitrogen
contained in fresh manure from horned
cattle. The later experiments of Heiden
and Holdefleiss place it at 1874 per cent.
These results were obtained when ordi-
nary reasonable care is taken of the ma
nure. but give no data for estimating the
loss which ccurS when, as is very fire.
quently the case. the manure is treated
with the groSsest neglect. 1t is safe to
assume that. generally. so per cent of the
nitrogen contained in the barn-yard ma
nure of this country returns unutilized to
the atmosphere. or is otherwise lost by
careless treatment. Surprising that an
average quantity of 81. 900 pounds Is pro-
3uced annually by each animal, and that
it contains GA per cent of nitrogen, it fol-
lows that a loss of y pounds of nitrogen.
worth $.64. takes place for each head of
cattle. This loss can be prevented by
daily Strewing the stables with two
pounds of ground plaster for each animal.
This means a quantity of 700 pounds. or a
cost of about $3.50 annually for each 1900
pounds live weight, but by adopting this
plan the farmer would be to a great ex-
tent relieved from the necessity of pur-
chasing the nitrogen of artificial fertiliz-
ers.-Canadian Bulletin.
