Battle Of the Pygmles.

Once more unto the breach, dear friends,
once more,
Or close the wall up with our English
dead.
And you, good yeomen,
Whose limbs were made in England, show
us here
The mettle of your pasturc-let us swear
That you are worth your breeding,
king Henry V
EDITOR OF THE PREss:-
Will you kindly spare me space in your
valuable paper Perchance it will pre-
vent an effusion OF blood, IL nothing
worse. wish TO offer my good services in
arbitrament between "E P. u aud &c"
before their violent struggles to down
each other terminate tragically. 1t is said
that offered service takes on adisagreeable
odor, but 1 trust in this case, the sweet
fragrance of the odoriferous rose will rs
sail their dilated olfactory organs. Why
should they saturate the circumambient
atmosphere with the invectives, expletives
and epithets that they hurl at each other
Why, in fact, prolong the pygmean war,
now waging between them, when tho vic
tory would prove but ophemeral no matter
to whom it fell ? There are other matters
of greater moment to lombard with their
promethean fire, and would suggest that
they call an armistice and cease hos5lities
indefinitely "'rhe pen is mightier than
the sword, as "E. P U D." not long since
declared, then why not wield that potent
weapon in a just and holier combat Let
these two puissant and doughty knights
clasp hands DER the bloody chasm and
| pool their issues against a common enemy.
Let them buckle on their armor, an with
shields embazoned with the hernldic de
vice of goose or Goldfish couchant, enter
the list and throw down their gage of ba t.
tie to-well-to the Delaware school board
for instance, and smite them hip and
thigh until they cry 81 yield me vanqu-
ished, rescue or no rescue /" Then let
these redoubtable knights demand, as a
trophy for their valor, patent seats in the
schools that are now without them. II
they can accomplish this, they will de
serve canonization, and their names will
go echoing down the corridors of time
while the long suffering little pupils (who
will have Joined the angelic throng by
that time) will raise their Heavenly voices
in joyous anthems in praise of such noble
deed of humanity Again, there are oui
county commissioners, whose wondrous
and mysterious method of doing business
for the county makes a conspicuous mark
for the trenchant blades of these gallan
knights. Let them lower the draw bridge
no t the Deep Hollow bridge, by the way
as that has reached its resting place a
last, than k God y open the Sallyport ant
rush to the barbacan, and there sound tn
onset. There can be but one result in sucl
an encounter-Glory for themselves an,
ignominy for the foe, Selah. PIoToR.

THE LUETGERT TRIAL.
Prosecution Has Advantage-seriou
Result Of Handling Bones.

CHICAGO, October 1.-The close Of the
sixth week of the celebrated trial of
Adolph Luetgert for the alleged murder
OF his wife showed the case far from
completed. Luetgerts story has not
been heard. The big sausage-maker
may be on the stand a week. 1t is pre-
uicted that the anxiety OF the accused
man to talk viii be fully satisfied be-
fore his cross-eXaninaion IS closed, II
he goes on the witness-stand, and eX-
Judge Vincent. chief counsel for the de-
fence. has promised that Lue-gert VIII
be heard.
The greatest part of last week was de-
voted to threshing over old straw. The
consensus of opinion at the close Of the
week this evening, by close observers of
the trial since the opening, was that the
prosecution had the better of the argu-
ment. The experts for the defence have
contradicted each other on cross-exami-
nation. They have also made plumbers
in the identification of bones which
amused the jurors. and apparently weak
ened their testimony.
Both of the hands Of Charles Boos.
a stenographer in the State's-Attorney $
office. are swollen badly. and much in
famed. Boos has been reporting the
Luetgert trial. and has handled the
bones placed in evidence quite freely. A
nhysician who to-day examined the
stenographer's hands said they showed
evidence Of tubercular germs. The re-
suit may be serious.
The trial will last at least three weeks
longer.

Gold Find in Carroll County.

WEIGH, w. VA, October 2.-(Spe-
cial.) last summer o. L. LaRue and
n. L. Mcleod. both OF this place, were
spending their vacation In the mountains
OF Carroll county. Va. While they were
riding along on the road they noticed a
peculiar piece OF stone. which attracted
their attention, and which they picked
No as a mere souvenir Of their trip.
When they returned 10 this place they
showed the stone TO a number OF their
friends. one Of whom, in a joking way,
said that the shining particles IL con-
tsired might be gold. out OF mere Gu
riosity they sent 1t to the Virginia State
Assayer. at Richmond, to have II
analyzed. When the assay was COM
pleted the sample was found to be very
valuable. Upon hearing this the gentle
men went 10 Carroll county and dis
covered a mountain that was rich with
the stuff. They secured about fifty
pounds Of IT. and leased the richest and
most central portion OF the territory.
which consists OF 100 acres. They sent
some OF the last rock secured TO have
IL assayed, and the report on II was
that Il contained ST worth OF gold TO
the ton; silver. 50 TO the ton; copper
per cent. This is considered rich find.

cinia mountains. AS the place is only

UNION PACIFIC SALE.
Arrangement of DetaiIs--Reorgnni-
zntion Committee's Bid. $50. 200. 900.


WASHINGTON, d. c., October Eek
Governor Hoadley, counsel for the United
States in the matter of the Union Pacific
railroad foreclosure sale, spent several
hours to-day In close conference with At
torney-General McKenna, arranging the
details Of the sale on November 1st. and
the transfer of the government interest
in the property to the highest bidder.
IT Is understood from perfectly trust
worthy sources that the committee has
acceded to the governments contention
that its lien on the Union Pacific road in
cludes the Omaha bridge, and that It
has increased its cash bid so as to make
its guarantee offer for the property, in
GLIDING the sinking fund now in the Trea-
sury, about 100000. So far as can be
learned. the Reorganization Committee
will be the only bidder at the sale, and
in all probability the transfer viii be con-
summated by the payment Of the pur-
chase price by December LIST, or very soon
thereafter.
Treasury officials recognize the fact
that the withdrawal from circulation Of
S45.000OO0 in cash at one time might have
a very serious effect on the money mar
ket, and in consequence are devisins a
plan by which the force of the shock may
be reduced to the minimum. No determi-
nation Of the question has yet been reach
cd but il seems probable that at least
s50.000.CJ0 Of the amount may be placed on
deposit with government depository banks
until January 1st. when it viii be needed
for the redemption OF the per cent. sub
sidy bonds maturing on that date. The
remainder of the purchase-money, it is
thought, may be safely transferred TO
the Treasury.

FEELING OF RELIEF.
WASHINGTON, d. c., October 1.-The
news from Madrid to the effect that the
Queen Regent had invited Sagasta TO

raga Cabinet. was hailed with a feeling
of relief in official circles here. In the

sympathizers in the United States and
Cuba wish. there certainly will be a
most liberal offering of concessions to

Sagasta is said to have stood from
the first I'm opposition to the policy pur-
sued by Spain for the last year. Those
familiar with affairs in Spain say that
the Sagasta view has become very popu-
lar in Spain, mainly because the war
policy had served to draft most OF the
young men from the interior and eN-
pose them 10 disease and death. AS a
result Of this sentiment. 1t is said that
an election would give Sagasta Liberal
