The Luetgert Trial.

CHICAGO, Sept. 21.-The prosecution
scored a point in the Luetgert case this
morning. Judge Tuthill ruled that the
motive evidence of Bialk and Odorof.
SKY, former employees of the sausage
maker, was admissible as long as it
was direct. This was the matter taken
under advisement last Saturday. The
evidence of these Two men is in relation
to the frequent visits to Luetgert's sau-
sage factory of Mary Siemmering, Luet-
gerL's servant, 1t was the theory Of
the State that Luetgert's alleged at.
tentions to other women was the origi
nal cause of the trouble with his wife,
and his persistence in open f1irtations
with other women eliminated in con-
tinued warfare between husband ard
wife. Luetgert, it is believed by the
prosecution, in order to pursue his
course undisturbed conceived the idea
of getting rid of his wife, aud did 80.
The prosecution in the case closed its
evidence with the testimony of Bialk
and Odorofsky and the battle of the de-
tense began with the opening state
ment by Luetgert's attorney. The de.
Tense will introduce evidence in an at
tempt to show that Mrs. Luetgert is
alive and in Germany.

POLITICAL.

Senator Thomas s. Martin made his
first speech of the campaign at Front
Royal yesterday and was greeted by a
large audience. In regard to Slate af-
fairs Senator Martin urged the strictest
economy of administration. In national
rolitics he indorsed the utterances OF
the Chicago platform. He expressed
the belief that free silver coin" ge was
the proper solution of tie financial
problems now confronting the people.
He exposed some of the iniquities OF
the Dingley tariff bill and put himself
on the record in favoring an income
tax. Hon. James Hay, member OF Con-
gress from the Seventh district, and
Hon. S. 8. Thomas were also present
and warmly received.
Senator Daniel opened the campaign
at Chatham yesterday in q great and
eloquent speech. He was greeted by a
large and enthusiastic audience. he
was in one of his tappiest moods and
made a profound impression. The
democratic party, the speaker said, was
determined to stand by the Chicago
platform, and that the money question
was and would be the paramount issue
ia politics until finally settled by the
reconciliation of silver; that the re-
publican party had nothing to propose
upon the financial question, and con-
tented themselves with raising objec-
ton to what the democratic party pro-
posed without Offering any substitute.
In discussing the recent rise in wheat,
Major Daniel said ifthe republicans un.
dertook to take credit for it, they would
also have to acknowledge that they had
the power to bring about famine, as it
was the short crops abroad which had
put up the price in this country. The
Senator discussed tariff and currency
and State affairs, but made no illusions
to the recently lively correspondence
between himself and Gov. O'Ferrall.

miners resumed work yesterday at the
same wages they were receiving when
they struck, the change in the weather
having cooled their heated imsgininge.
Empty larders. coal bins and pockets, at
the commencement of winter, are by
no means conducive to prolonged
strikes. While nobody denies the right
Of the miners to strike whenever they
feel so disposed, there are few intelli-
gent people who don't question their
good sense in exercising that right, that
is, unless they shall have previously Sc.
cured employment elsewhere. or shall
have saved enough wages to last them
until they feel like going to work again.
