Rev. T. A. Smoot, ex-headmaster of
Trinity High School. was on hand to
see his old charge start off well.

THEY WERE HER RINGS
THREE WITNESSES TESTIFY THAT MRS
LUETGERT WORE THEM.
The Judge Visits the vats- Damaging Evidence
Against Defendant The Great Crowd
Shut Out.

Chicago, Sept. 3.-Three women gave
damaging evidence against the defen-
dant in the Luetgert trial to-day. They
positively identified the rings found in
the vat as being the property of Mrs.
Luetgert. and said that they had seen
them on her hands. The defense made a
desperate effort TO break down the evil
dence OF the women but they all stuck
to their stories and swore that the rings
were those which the wife of the sausage
maker had worn before she disappeared.
The session Of court was short in the
afternoon, as Judge Tuthill said that
he desired to make a personal visit to
the factory and see for himself where
the murder is said to have been commit
tied He took with him one attorney from
the side of the defense and one from
those engaged in the prosecution. Dur
ing their visit to the factory no other
person was allowed around the premises.
Carl Noelker, II chemist who had been
at one time engaged with Luetgert in
the manufacture of permanganate OF
potash, and was also a shipping clerk in
the factory. testified during the after
noon session that he was familiar with all
Of Luetgert's processes for the making
Of sausage and that he had never hal
any occasion to use caustic potash a.
round the place The defendant could
not, he said, have secured it for the pur-
pose Of using it in the making of the
sausage. During all of the time that
Voelker was around the factory, he said
that the watts were never used.
Eoelker told the jury that on one occa-
sion he saw Luetgert use violence toward
his wife. She and another woman came
into the office in the factory one after
noon and Luetgert appeared to be rage.
The witness was not in the office but he
saw Luetgert push his wife and her
companion out of the door of the of
fee. Mrs. Luetgert and the lady hur-
RED away much excited. He heard Mrs.
Lnetgert say: ''IIe has revolver and
will kill u.s."
The witness said he did not see the
revolver.
The crush around the court room has
Increased to such proportions that it was
found necessary to-day take active meas.
ures to keep the crowd away from the
trial The court room is on the third
floor of the Criminal Court building and
orders were given that none of the pas
senger elevators should stop save at the
second. and fourth floors. Officers were
then stationed Mt the stairways and only
those who had business in the court room
were allowed to pass.

ATLANTIC TO THE GULF
A NEW SHIP CANAL TO CUT THROUGH
FLORIDA.
Capital SIS, 900, 600 and the Passage to Texas
t, be Shortened by Three Days--fve
Years to Finish

New York, Sept. 3.-Articles have
been filed with County Clerk Purroy
for the incorporation of the Florida
Trans-Peninsular Ship Canal Company.
The chief incorporators are Robert May,
California; Freeman II. Baldwin, Fl.
Bolet Peraza, Consul-Gcneral for the
Greater Republic of Central America in
this city: Benz. r. Cromwell and Fran
els p Fleming.
The capital is $75,0OO,0OO.
The projectors have in mind the build
ing OF ship canal and railway to con-
meet the Atlantic with the Gulf. The
new canal will be of sufficient capacity
for the passage of ocean going vessels.
Consul General Peraza to-day said:
THE new canal will be of great adj
vantage in the defence Of the country in
case OF an international war, as well as
being Of the greatest commercial bene-
fit 1T viii shorten the time for YES
sells going to Texas or Mexico by three
days. The waters around the Southern
coast or Florida are very treacherous,
owing 10 the numerous currents. Ali
this danger will be done away with
I'VE expect that 100000 tons of
freight viii pass through the canal year
ly. and even light tolls on this will make
the enterprise pay. We have applied
for the charter and will probably get
it next month. As soon as it is issued
we will begin work.
Mr. Caffal, our civil engineer, had
already surveyed the ground. and all
arrangements have been made to push
the work"
The Consult General further said that
the barbor of st. Augustine would be
the eastern entrance to the new canal.
The width of the waterway will be
200 feet through its entire length, and
it will be deep enough to allow the
largest ship TO pass through 1t will
probably be about FIVE years before the
canal is finished.

Star Pointer Won in Three Straight
Heats-Crowd Disappointed in Time
Hartford, Conn, Sept. 3.-Star Pointer
won from Joe Patchen with apparent
ease for purse Of $4,000. 1t had been
agreed that each horse should alternate
at the pole and the toss Of a penny de
cided which should start in that position.
Mr.. Murphy, owner Of Star Pointer, won
the toss. In the second heat, when
Patchen had the pole, Pointer had to
travel a little faster to get to the wire
first and that heat was done in 2:03%
The crowd was disappointed in the
race. In the three heats the two horses
travelled the mile side by side, Pointer
going about half length ahead in the
home stretch and keeping it to the wire.
The race was without any other feature
and there was a general belief Il ut the
horses were not driven as fast al they
could go. There was disappointmei at
the slow time and there were no cheers
when it was announced.

White Squadron in Two and a Half
Hours.
Washington, d. c., Sept. 3.-A mes
sage by a carrier pigeon was received
from Admiral Sicard on the flagship New
York of the North Atlantic squadron at
the Norfolk Navy Yard at o'clock this
morning. A copy was at once wired to
Acting Secretary Roosevelt at the Navy
Department. The message was as fol-
lows:
September 8, $50 a. m. Position, 80
degrees east northeast, Cape Charles
| lightship, distant IS miles. The squadron
consisting of the New York, Brooklyn,
Massachusetts, Indiana, Texas and
Maine is approaching the southern drill
ground and will probably anchor about s
o'clock. Will dispatch anchorage later
Puritan is in sight"
At the Navy Department this is said
to be the first instance in our naval his
tory of the successful use of the carrier
pigeons as a means of communication be
tween naval vessels afoat and the shore
stations. 1t is the result of several
months hard work on the part of the
equipment bureau, which has collected
aboard the ships pigeons from various
Atlantic ports, so that the commanders
might be prepared to despatch messages
| to any desired naval station. The result is
highly gratifying to the department Off
Gals indicating as it does the possibility
of developing a most valuable means OF
communicating with our off-shore fleets
Later in the day another message was
received from Admiral S:card, by the
same means as the first-a carrier pigeon
This stated that the water was 80 rough
that the ships could not undertake target
practice, so that they had turned to fleet
revolutions.

TRIES TO DODGE CIVIL SERVICE.
But Collector Brady Will Have an Eligi-
BILE List Promptly Mailed to Him.

Washington, D. c., Sept 3-The re-
fusal of Col. James d. Brady. collector
of internal revenue for the Richmond
Va, district, to reappoint the deputies of
his predecessor has been informally called
to the attention of Secretary Gage 1t
seems that while civil service examna-
tons have been held in that district the
pressure Of business has prevented the
civil service commission from certifying
an eligible list so that Col. Brady, in APP
pointing outsiders was acting within the
emergency Of the law. These appoint
ments are, however, temporary. There is
no information at the Treasury Depart
ment as to the report that Collector
Brady has discharged the clerks in the
office who were under the protection of
the civil service.
The civil service commission, at the re-
Quest of Secretary Gage, is preparing an
eligible list Of deputy collectors, which
will be forwarded to the collector at once
and probably will reach him tomorrow
morning.
The civil service commissioners are
watching the progress of the affair with
interest, as a test Of the issue as to
whether internal revenue deputies can be
classified. Col. Lamb, representing the
deputies, has been here consulting with
the officials and has advised the COM
mission that ON Section 1853 of the Re
yised Statutes he would rest the case and
will bring quo warranto proceedings at
Richmond today.
MIR. BRADY'S VIEW.
Richmond, Va, Sept. $50 far as
% hfa Ia nod
taken here in the matter Of Collector
Brady's removals from Office The col
lector sends to the Dispatch which will
appear in the morning:
Internal revenue service, Second dis
triet of Virginia, Collectors office, Rich
mond, Va.
Editor Of the Dispatch: AS matter of
fact, / have made no removals from Of
fee in the internal revenue service Of
this district.
The term of office of all the employees
who, under the law, were commissioned
by Collector Ryan and gave bond to
him, expired with his term OF office,
August 81. 1897.
l have strictly observed the law and
civil service rules in every appointment
made since I assumed charge of the col
lector's office on the first instant.
The law in respect to the appointment
and retention in service of department
employees at Washington, custom house,
postoffice and other officials throughout
the country, is entirely different from the
law in force relative to internal revenue
believe that my construction of the
law is correct and in this opinion l am
sustained by the proper authorities at
Washington.
Yours truly,
