the Governor did not discuss his plans
with any of his fellow passengers
He made no effort, however, to conceal
his identity. The Governor and his Sec

the country around here the murderer of
Horace F. Pritchard and assailant of

Among the new clues to Christians s

supper at his house at six o'clock on

The residents at the Sullivan County

feeling of fear is somewhat prevalent.
Most of the windows of the houses around

OUR EXPORT BUTTER.
Its Great Success In Foreign Markets
Encourages Further Experinn nta.


WASHINGTON, Sept. %. 1ss7.-Secre-
tary Wilson of the Agricultural Depart
ment, will, in his annual report, ask
Congress to make material increase In
the appropriation for at least three
branches of the work of his department
These are
The Bureau of Animal Industry, the
Farmers Bulletins and the Weather
Bureau.
The Secretary says the facilities of the
Bureau of Animal Industry for the M
spection of meat intended for foreign
shipment are overtaxed, and that the ox-
pertinent already made by the Bureau In
the shipment of butter to England should
be followed up by more work in this line
He claims that the shipments already
made have produced excellent results as
shown by the fact that a representative
of English firms has recently been in
Iowa buying up all the available butter
supply for export.
There is constantly. increasing demand
for the Farmers Bulletins, and it is the
Secretary's purpose If he secures the
necessary funds. not only to increase the
circulation of the documents, but TO
largely increase the range OF subjects
covered.
Mr. Wilson thinks there should be sew
eraf new weather stations and is also OF
the opinion that the forecast work can
with an increase Of money to be devoted
to that purpose be made more Serviceahlu
to the country at large.

BOILED 4 WOMAN.
Luetgert's Experts Got a Differ
ent Product From the
Contents Of the Sau-
sage Vat.

CHICAGO, Sept 20. 1S97.-The crush of
humanity at the Criminal Court building
today was greater than upon any other
occasion for the past twolweeks. A re-
port spread that Luetgert himself would
be called to the witness stand today to
tell his story to the jury and people by
the hundreds struggled to gain admit
tance to the court room.
Many got into the building by telling
the officers on duty at the entrance that
they were called as witnesses in other
court rooms. Then they made frantic
but unsuccessful efforts to reach the sec
ond floor upon which Judge Tuthills
court room is located. Court bailiffs shut
the throng off atS'the stairways leading
to the court corridor and those who
sought to reach the court room by
means of the elevators were shot up to
the sixth floor by the elevator men and
landed high above the goal of their am
bition. There was much profanity over
this ruse on the part of the male vic
TINS while the women and girls stood
at the elevator shafts and scolded till
they were hoarse.
Luetgert was in rare good humor. He
is recovering from the injury to his right
leg and the assistance of crutch is
scarcely. necessary as an aid to his loco
motion. The testimony in his behalf re-
Gently has had a reviving effect upon his
spirits and the scowl which characterized
his features for month past has given
way to a decidedly cheerful expression.
Luetgert again expressed his earnest
desire this morning to go on the witness
"A IL
jury as he expresses it. His lawyers
ex-Judge Vincent and Attorney Pha1on,
apparently feel somewhat nervous about
putting Luetgert on the stand. The big
sausage maker, however, is as relentless
as an Indian in his demands to be called.
He wants to "get even" with the police
and some of the people who have lied
about him, as he declares.
Luetgerts counsel have great deal
of respect for States Attorney Deneen's
ability as cross examiner, They APP
pear to fear that under the rapid cross
questioning of the State Attorney Luet-
gert may make admissions or be led into
statements that win spoil much of the
important evidence given in his behalf.

day, as he is superstitious about appear

The members of the jury were in good
spirits today, Last evening they went
out to the National League baseball park
and played ball for an hour. Riez was |
recalled today and questioned as to his !
experiments with human bodies in a ten
per cent. solution of caustic soda. The
important matter brought out was his
declaration that the bones produced by
the prosecution had never been subjected |
to the test Of a potash solution He said |
that the surface and general appearance
of the bones which the prosecution main- |
tains were found in and around the vat |
did not indicate that they ever had been |
in contact with a potash solution.

Dsmocrat Turned Down TO Make
Place ior o ossPersecused,, Republican

WASHINGTON. Sept. 29, 1S97.-An order
was issued at the Postoffice Department
today reinstating A. B. Mays as superin-
terdent of mails in New York and re-
ducing Thomas J.-C Clarke, the present
superintendent. to the position of assist
ant cashier in the New York Office.
The change. is one which probably will
attract considerable attention in New
York. Mays is said to be a Republican
and Clarke a Tammany Democrat. After
being in the employ of the postoffice for
thirty-two years and acting as superin-
tendent for six years of that time, Mr..
Mays resigned three years ago while un-
dergoing an investigation which he claim
ed was a political persecution. Mr. Clarke
was appointed to succeed him.
1t is stated at the post office depart
ment that the change is the result of a
recommendation made by the Department
Commission, which was recently sent to
New York by Postmaster General Gary
to investigate that Office. The commits
sion praised Mr.. Mays work so highly
that the Postmaster General determined
to reinstate him as one means of improv-
ing the service in that city

Richard Drummond, Letter
Carrier Arrested for a
Series of Robberies
TALE. OF A CHURCH CHECK
Post Office Inspector Lewis Thinks
He Is on the Trail ofa
Gang Of Robbers.

Richard Drummond, letter carrier. Whe
/ has been employed for years In ths. Jer-
sey City Post Office was arrested and
arraigned before United States Commits
sioner Romaine in his Office in the Fuller
Building. Jersey City, this morning. on
the charge of robbing the mails. He was
arrested on the complaint of Post Onies
inspector Lewis, who specifically charges
that Drummond failed to deliver az the
Post Office, q. letter which he collected
from a box at the Erie depot.
At the hearing, Inspector Lewis briefly
stated his grounds for making the cem-
plant. The letter it is understood was a
decoy placed in the box by the Inspector.
When Drummond was searched the miss
ing letter was found In his possession.
he was not allowed to make any state
ment at the preliminary examination He
will be given a chance to make any
explanation he may have at the regular
examination which has been sent for
Tuesday next. Commissioner Romaine
held Drlmmond in $500 bail. He could
not secure a bondsman and was sent to
the County Jail.
Drummond has been in the employ of
the Government for many years. He is
has never been before been suspected of
any criminal act. HIS arrest Is highly
important, as it is considered the first
successful step in solving system which
has been puzzling the Post Ofdoe In
spectors for nearly two months. During
the first week in August. numerous coma
plants were received of whoiesake rob-
berries of letter boxes. The matter was
first brought to the attention Of the
authorities by Albert Meade, Treasurer
of the Lafayette NJ. E. Church. On
August /, he mailed a check for
$3.50. the amount of the quarterly
inserest on the church mortgage to Cor
bin & Corbin. AS no acknowledgment
was received, Mr.. Meade investigated
and found that the check had never
reached its destination. Mr.. Meade call
ed at once on the Hudson County Ma
tional Bank to stop payment on the
check and was surprised to learn that
1t had been presented and certified. The
check was returned through Carhart.
Whitford & Co., of New York, who had
received it from a man who purchased
a suit of clothes.
AT about the same time that Mr.. Meade
reported the loss of the check, complaints
began to pour in from Greenville, Lafay-
cite and lower Jersey City of similar
robberies. Inspector Lewis, assisted by a
number of Secret. Service detectives at
once began rigid investigation. The
hue and cry caused by the discovery of
operations and the Inspector was unable
to ind the slightest clue to their identity.
For nearly two months he was baffied,
but. now he believes he is on the right
track 1t is believed that Drummond has
confederates and an effort will be made
to secure a complete confession from him.

CHINA WANTS COPPER
The Red Metal Used In Her Coinage
Has Crown Scarce.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20, 1S97.--United
States Consul Charles DENLY, at Peking,
writing to the State Department under
date of July "a, 1897, gives the substance
of report recently made by Mr.. Brennan,
a British Consul on trade in China.
Mr.. Brenan states that the currency of
China is copper much more than silver,
and that the relative value of gold and
copper is an important factor in the con-
sideration of trade problems.
1t is undoubtedly true, says Mr.. Bren-
an, that the ordinary business of China
is done in copper cash, and he incloses
a translation of an imperial decree in
which it is shown that the price of cop
per cash has been enhanced over twenty
per cent, at the same time that prices
for ordinary articles of consumption are
materially increased.
To meet this condition it is ordered
that the old mints be reopened and start.
ed in order that the supply of copper cash
may be increased.
