all the parties are those which have or
ganized and chartered vessels. AS a
rule, these have taken the precautions
to arrange in advance ways to combat
possible emergencies and carry the
members through all kinds of hard

THE LUETGERT MURDER CASE.
\ Trial Full of Scientific Interest
Begins in Chicago.

Chicago Aug. 22.-After two prelimi-
nary hearings and three months confine-
ment in the county jail Adolph LuetgeTt,
the Ech sausage maker, was put on trial,
charged with the murder Of his wife, be-
fore Judge Tufhill in the criminal court to-
day. The big sausage maker has declared
10 his attorneys, eX-]udce William A. Vim
cent and Albert Phaten. that he desired no
further delay. Both the state and the de-
tense prophlsy that 1000 venire men Will
~ examined and that q week Will pass be-
fore twelve men who are acceptable ~
both sides are found. Then the trial will
begin in earnest
The theory Of the state Is that Luetsert
induced his wife t. accompany him 10 his
sleeping apartments IN the factory Office
and there stransled her. Then he Is
thought 10 have taken her body 10 the base
meut and have immersed it in a vat filed
with a solution Of caustic potash heated to
the boiling point. What remained Of the
body after this process, it is alleged. was
gathered together and thrown into teh fur
mace Of one Of the factory boilers. The ire
had been kept up under one Of the boilers
upon express orders given by Luetgert TO
his Waterman, Frank Bialkik. The state
has made several experiments in support
Of this theory.

with crude potash. with the results tnat
they hope successfully TO combat the testl-
mony to be introduced by the state regard

LUMBER EXPORTS.
An Encouraging Incrensc for 1897
Over 1896.

Chicago, Aug. 22.-The rimberman
gives the following summary of the
years lumber exports from all United
States ports:
The quantity of our exports of forest
products for the year ending June 80,
1897, ms compared with those of the
year ending June 30. 1896. shows
an increase of slightly over Al
per cent. and us compared with the
average for the five years beginning June
20, 1856, shows an increase of frac-
ton less than GO per cent.
The total value of our exports of do
nestle forest and lumber products for
the year ending June 80, 1897, as COM
pared with the previous twelve months
was $39,624 800 against $31 ,A7, los, or
an increase of over "A per cent.
Our lumber export to the United King
dom for the years ending June 30. 1896,
and 1897. have been ms follows:
1S96-Sawn and hewn timber logs and
other lumber, So, 10S.S17; 1897. S4,3322,
397.
1S96-Boards, deals, planks, joists
and scantling, $l,a439OS; 1897, S3,2l4,'
$40.
1SM-Shingles. shocks and other lum.
Der. S710,219: 1897. S1.224,52
1S96-Sash. doors, blinds and other
| manufactures, 50, 151 ,451; 1897, S2,SO9,
400.
Total. 1896, 7,9ao,45s; 1897, Sll,5so,
663.
As the percentage of increase in the
| quantity of hewn timber we are export
ing to the United Kingdom, compared
| with those of the corresponding periods
in 1896 is treble the percentage in the
| increase in the total quantity of the re
| ceipts rs compared with same period
it is happily demonstrated that the large
increase In the quantity of sawn and
! otherwise finished lumber products we
