STOCKMEN REJOICE OVER THE
HEAVY RAINS OUT IN KANSAS.
They Say 1t Means Big Crops and
Plenty of Cheap Feed for Their
stock Notes and News
From the Yards.

There was much rejoicing at the yards
yesterday over the breaking up of the not
spell in Kansas. Rains were general Friday
night throughout the central portion OF
the state, where it was most needed. The
Union Pacific railroad posted early the fol-
lowing: Heavy rains Friday night all along
the line from Junction City. Kas., to Dem
yer, Col. From one and one-half to three
inches of rain fell in Ellsworth county,
where no rain had fallen before since the
1st OF May. The AtchisOn. Topeka & Santa
Fe railroad announced good rains over
their entire middle division. Heavy rains
on Abilene and Manchester branches and
cloudy and cool. on Southern division light
showers at Newton, Wichita, Mulvane and
Gage.
j. T. White. one of the biggest feeders in
Ottawa county, was in the city yesterday
morning and had a message from his part
ner there saying that they had a five inch
rain Friday night. This he says will save
the late corn and may save enough OF the
pollen on the early planted to make a fair
crop. He was one of the bluest men in
Kansas two days ago, but is now full OF

fell there Friday night.
This guarantees plenty of good and cheaP
feed the coming season and will put new
life INTO the sJocker and feeder market.
Plenty of ~rOughness had already been Sc
cured and these rains mean another good
corn crop.
Colonel NJ. r. Moser. Herington. Kas..
was at the yards yesterday. He says there
are more cattle in Dickinson county than
last year and the usual number OF hogs.
Grass good and stock doing well. A five
inch rain fell July 3. and there is plenty OF
moisture in the ground and corn prospects
fine.

Fusion Contaminated

Lincoln, Neb., September 2.-As pre-
dicted at h start by the party lead
ers, the three parties-democratic, pop
ulist and silver republicans-joined
hands in fusion and the ticket placed
in the field is: For supreme judge,
John j. Sullivan, democrat; for state
university regents, E, Won FOrell, pop
ulist, and George F. REMOVER, silver
republican. Many delegates maintain
that the fusion was perfectly harmo-
NOUS, while there are others who
claim that there may yet be dissen-
sion on the silver republican side, as
about one-third of those delegates went
home early this morning beforesfusion
was effected.
For a while in the three conventions
this morning it looked rather preca-
rious for harmony, as the silver repub-
licans had a very warm time, a number
of the "middle-Of-the-rOad" delegate
talking in favor Of the nomination OF
I. straight tickle in order to preserve
their organization. Finally it was an
nounced that the democrats and silver
republicans a agreed upon John j
Sullivan for supreme judge and Signs
of fusion began to appear. Even then
it was not until Judge Neville urged
the endorsement of Mr.. Sullivan tina,
the IOpulists gave in. At loon the
agreement to fuse vas finally reached
and tho rest Of the proceedings were
of short duration.

Ceore,a Still Winning Prizes

Sea Girt. N. j., September 2.-Georgia
still continues to carry everything before
it in the matches being held here under
the auspices of the New Jersey State
Rifle Association and the National Rllle
Association. The Georgia teams have
won all of the first prizes easily. In tne
interstate military match Tor tine bronze
Soldier of Marathon which was pre-
scented by the governor of New YORK, IN
1875. to be shot for annually by teams
from the national guard Oh each
state. the Georgians did brilliant work.
A, 200 wards C..-tain Cam. Lieutenant
Wilson and privetes Austin, Mercer and
Wilson, all scored bullseyes in spite or the
bad light and a strong wind which bleW
directly across the range. The match Is
open to- teams of twelve men from the
national guard of each state and territory,
ten shots each at 200 yards and 500 yards:
Today three states only were represented
Georgia, New York and New Jersey. and
the sOutherners scored a victory by a
score of 1,101 points out of a possible
1900. New York came next with 1,0I2, and
New Jersey was third with 1.022.
The skirmish firing in the regimental
team and Columbia trophy matches was
not begun until 5 o'clock. and was not
finished until dark. The scores and WIN
ners will not be ascertained until to-
morrow. 1t is believed that the Georgia
first team has taken the prize, however.
There seems to be great possibility that
an all-American team selected from the
crack shots now here will be sent abroad
to meet all corners. Major Harries, in
-spectCr general of rifle practice of the
District of Columbia. is here tonight and
is in consultation with General and In
spector General of Rifle Practice Spencer.
of New Jersey. and General and inspector
General of Rifle Practice Kirby, of New
York, in regard to this matter.
p Captain George T. Cam. of Georgia
who at present holds the Wimbledon cup
is shooting in even better form than he
shot last year. and judging from his work
today in the Interstate team match il
which he scored Is out of a possible 100
and missed making his score clean by {
fraction of an inch in both the shots il
which he failed to score five, he will take
the cup again.

Alpine Tourists Swept Away by an Ava,
lanche.

Berne, Switzerland, September g
Further advices from La Saale, near
Mount Pleureur, show that the reports
of the accident to a party of Alpine
tourists in that vicinity, were not ex-
aggregated. Eight persons it appears,
started from Sion, capital of the can
ton of Valais, with the intention of
ascending Mount Pleureur. The latter
is 1885 feet high and is not a very diff
cult ascent. from Mauvoisin, by the
GietroX. eight hours being generally
occupied in the task. The tourists were
led by Pastor Comm, of Sion. and they
made the ascent, divided into two par
ties of four each. The first of these
parties reached the summit and the
second was only a short distance be-
hind when the o persons composing
it were swept by an avalanche into a
revasse 1000 feet deep. 1t is still
hoped that some of the tourists may be
rescued. The missing party was COM
posed of Pastor Comm, two school boys
from Lausanne and a young English
man famed Bernard.
\ guide who was sent out to search
for the bodies Of the four tourists has
returned. He reports that from the
heights from which the victims We're
swept, only a leg and a jacket pro-
truding from the snow were visible.

To Test Removal From Office Under Civil
Service

Washington. September John G.
Woods. superintendent of mails at the
Louisville, Ky. postoffice, today brought
suit against Postmaster General Gary and
the postoffice department authorities 10
prevent them from removing him from his
position. The case probably will be a test
of the power to remove a government Off
cial embraced within the civil service
rules. The court has issued a temporary
restraining order to protect his rights.
AT the postoffice department it is stated
that the office of superintendent of mails.
which Woods is seeking to keep. is uni
formly filled by details of employees of the
railway mail service. TELs is the nature
of a temporary promotion and the order
against which Woods complains directed
him to resume his former run in that
service. With this notification to Woods
to return to his old work was the formal
detail of Clerk O'Donnel to succeed him
as superintendent. The restraining order
issued by Judge Bingham was served on
Postmaster General Gary and First As
sistant Postmaster General Heath this
afternoon.

A Vestibuled Train Wrecked

Cortland, N. Y, September 2.-Train
No. 4, the southbOund vestibule on the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
railroad, was wrecked at BlOdgett's
Mills at 1915 o'clock this morning. The
train consisted of an express car, a
combination baggage and smoking car,
a day coach and a Pullman parlor car.
The train, which does not stop at Blod-
gett Mills, was passing at the rate of
fOrty-five miles per hour on a straight
rack. When about 500 feet north of
the station, the rear truck of the day
coach, in some unexplained manner,
became detached and left the rail.
This truck knocked all of the trucks
from under the parlor car, which, after
being dragged a few rods, was turned
On it's side in a our foot ditch. The
rest of the train was dragged $50 feet
further and thrown against the ice
house of the milk station. After which
it struck the passenger station, knock
ing it from it's foundation. When the
engineer finally succeeded in stopping
the train, it was found that Mrs. J. H.
Quillan, Of Overlook, Pa, a suburb
of Philadelphia, had been killed and
a number Of others injured. Messen-
gers were sent to Cortland for physi-
clans, who went to the scene of the
wreck by special train.

A FOUL ASSASSINATION
A Man Murdered by His Stepson at the In.
stigstiOn of His Wife and Her Paramour

Jacksonville, Fla, September 2.-One
Of the foulest murders ever committed
in Duval county occurred last night,
when Edward Register, a white farmer
about "a years of age, was shot and
killed while sitting on the front porch
of his home playing a fiddle. Robert
Register, an adopted son of the dead
man, and Henry M Tyre, a white man
who rents a piece of land from Regis
ter, living about a quarter Of a mile dis
tant, We're arrested and brought to the
city and this morning the boy made a
clean breast of the whole thing, admit
ting that he fired the fatal. shot. Reg
listers wife listened to the boys state
ment and said that it was all true. Tyre
seems to have been in love with Mrs.
Register, and they met clandestinely
with frequency. Register learned of
this and caught the couple on several oc
casions. Tyre then plotted to put Reg
lister out of the way, and a week or so
ago the boy was offered s. to kill the
latter. This offer vas renewed yester-
day. the woman and Tyre both entering
into the arrangement. After supper
was over, the boy, who is Is years old.
slipped up behind Register II emp
tied a load of No. S bird shot into his
head. standing about ten feet distant.
Then Tyre, according to the boys
statement, finished the job with an axe.

HONEST DOCTOR.
To Test the Anti-ScaIperS Law

New York. September 2,-The ticket
brokers. otherwise known as "scalpers,"
have made a test case by which they
hope to have a speedy adjudication Of
the arti-scalpers law which went into
effect yesterday. SweetZer. Pembroke &
Co, merchants. caused the arrest of
Frederick VI. Bo1les, a clerk in the employ
of Gustav CLEANSING. charging him with
having sold the firm a ticket 10 Norfolk,
Va, over the Pennsylvania railroad for
$3.50 the regular fare being $3.50. The
case is a friendly one. Bolles was ar
rested and arraigned in the Centre Street
court. He admitted that he was not an
authorized agent of either of the trans
portation companies. Examination was
waived and Bodies was committed to the
nominal custody of the Tombs warden.
Later. Justice Beach, in the supreme
court, granted a writ of habeas corpus in
BolleS' case. The writ is r~eturnable on
September sth. Bolles, in his application
for the writ, says that the a~nti-scalpers
law Is unconstitutional.

THE TRIAL
Indifference Of the Man at the Disappear.
ance Of His wife-The Defendant to
Testify.

Chicago. September 1.-The indiffer-
ence Of Luetgert, after his wife had
disappeared was the principal fact
brought out against him today. 1t was
proved by the testimony of Police Cap
tain Herman Schuettler, that Luetgert
did not show any concern regarding
his wife, and never took the trouble to
ask the police whether they had found
traces Of her or not. On one occasion
he called at the police station to pro-
test against an article in a daily paper
saying tina his first wife had not died
a natural death. The police at this
time were dragging the river, pOking
into clay holes and patrolling the lake
shore in the hope of finding some trace
Of the missing woman out Luetgert,
after he complained of the paper, left
the station without ven asking if the
police had discovered anything. When
the police or his neighbors, a he
disappearance of Mrs. Luetgert,
through her brother, they asked Luet-
CERT what theory he had regarding her
disappearance, and he said that in his
opinion she had become insane and had
wandered away from home. He had
not reported her going away either to
the police or his ienghbors, he
said tina it was a disgrace to hav an
insane wife and he did not want people
to know anything about it. Captain
Schuettler said that in all the work
the police did on the case before the
arrest of Luetgert they never received
any help or suggestions from the hus-
band and he lever seemed to care
whether they found her or not.
Luetgert announced today that he in
tended to take the stand and testify in
his own behalf. He said that he had
talked the matter over with his at
torneys and that they had consented
that he should do so. He said that he
would tell all about his actions on the
night preceding the disappearance Of
his wife and would convince the jury
hat he had lone nothing wrong.
The interest in the cas- increases
every day and this morning it was al
most impossible for the court officials
and the attorneys to force their way
through the crowd that blocked the
Railways outside of the court room.

THE LOADING OF VESSELS
The A~dvaFtges of Southern Over Northern
Ports-Business Men of the Later Want
q Change in the Rules.

New York, September "A confer
ence of shipowners, merchants, brokers
and agents of the transatlantic steam
ship companies was held here today for
the purpose of securing the passage of
rules regulating the loading of vessels.
The loadwater line is not the same in
southern as in northern ports. Shippers
of Norfolk, Baltimore and other south
ern ports can load vessels much deeper
han at New York, Boston and Phila-
delphia. The profit on freight charges
is much larger in southern than in
northern ports. The rules of the Brit
ish board of trade prevail at New York,
Boston and Philadelphia and it is on
this the insurance companies write pol
icies On freight.
Charles 5. summer presided at the
conference. Philadelphia was repre-
sented by P. D. Todd, H. H. Hanson,
w. E. Barker and L. w. Neill. New
York and Boston were also repre-
scented.
Mr.. Barker, in behalf of Philadelphia,
asked the cooperation of New York
and Boston in adopting some measures
to put a stop to the unjust discrimina-
ton in favor of southern ports"
Mr.. Neill asked that the New York
and Boston committee secure the sig
natures of the trunk railroad lines, in
surance companies and bankers to a
petition to the British board of trade
for a change in the north Atlantic
loadwater line. He said that the rail-
road companies, g refineries, etc.,
had signed the petition in Philadelphia.
He urged haste on account of the
large amount of grain soon to be ship
ped to Europe.
The conference decided to secure the
signatures of railroad lines, insurance
companies, ETC., to a petition to the
British board of trade to change the
north Atlantic loadwater lines. It was
also decided that a joint letter on the
subject should be sent by the m
cial organizations of Boston, New York
and Philadelphia, to the commercial
n shipping association of Great Bri-
tain.
