Association.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 1S.-There see to be
a split In the National Reform assocla-
tion. Paul Vandervoort of On It's presi-
dent, supported Watson and posed to
fusion during the last campaign, while secre-
tary and Treasurer A. Roselle OF Missouri
was a supporter OF the fusion deal in Mis-
souri,. This difference in opinion is the
cause of the threatened rupture. Mr.. Van
dervoort, who claims a majority OF the eX-
executive committee. has called the next an
nual meeting for February % at Memphis
Tenn. Mr.. Roselle has met this by calling
meeting in Kansas City, February %, the
object of which will be the organization of a
new association. Mr. Ruselle denies Mr.
Vandervoorts right to call the meeting and
questions his motives.
THE presidents reasons" says Mr.
Roselle, are obvious. He and his con-
ferees evidently desire to drive out of the
association all editors who advocated a union
of the reform forces in the late campaign or
to go out themselves"
Paul Van1ervort. president of the National
Reform Pru!s association, was seen at his
home in this city last night, and he made
the following statement to a Bee reporter:
THE members of the executive committee
all voted to hold our annual meeting at
Memphis, Tenn, except Miss O'Neil of st,
the association all favored Memphis, but Mr..
Rozelle. He wanted the meeting at Kansas
City or st. Louis.
He has been largely. engaged in the fusion
business, and is now seeking an appoint
ment OF the democratic governor of Missouri.
He denounced Tom Watson as a liar during
the campaign, and the majority of the eXecu-
tive committee has voted to suspend him as
an officer and member of the association.
This is in strict accordance with our con-
stitution. and no newspaper that supported
Arthur Sewall in preference to Tom Watson
is eligible to membership in our association.
The leading newspapers belong to it, and
ey cry one Of them, save about beggar's
dozen headed by Rozelle, are determined
to hoist the black flag of fusion, and get rid
of the democratic element.
II do not care how many sdeshows Mr.
Rozele holds. | was just preparing to issue
a circular suspending him, and l was only
anticipated by a few days. The only pa
pers that he can get together at his meet
ing are those which are not eligible to mem
bership. The sooner they join the demo-
Gratis outright the better it will be for the
peoples party.
I'm this connection | hereby Issue call
for a general conference of the peoples
party at Memphis. on February %, 1897

LUETGERT NOT A FITUsIMMoNs.
Got That Lame Leg in a Fight in
Tu

CHICAGO, Sept. 19-It came to light
today that Luetgert, the alleged wife
murderer. INDUCED in a fight last We'd
nesday afternoon with William Young,
prisoner confined in the same tier, on
the charge of robbery. The ex-saus-
age manufacturers lameness is not due
to rheumatism as was given out by
himself and his guards, but the result
OF Young's hurting him backwards
against the pavement of the Jail corri-
dor to save himself from Luetgert's
big fists. The affair started in a
friendly scuff1e, but when Luetgert saw
that his opponent was getting the bet
ter of him, he lost his temper and be-
gan rushing" his man. Young, quick
and muscular. caught his opponent
about the waist and literally hurled
him backwards, almost twenty feet,
against the tile pavement and steel
door. Luetgert had to be helped to his
feet and to his cell. The Jail physi-
clan says that the fall wrenched one of
Luetgert's thighs, and it may be weeks
before he fully RECEIVERS.
When the trial is resumed Tuesday
the prosecution is expected to consume
only the morning session in winding
up it's case.
The defense will divide it's rebuttal
evidence in two parts. First, they will
attempt to show that Mrs. Luetgert
was seen and talked with after the
night she is said to have been MUIR
dered. If the Kenosha alibi is touch
ed upon at all, it will be but lightly
and this will probably be held in re-
serve. The principal part of the evil
dence will be an attempt to explain the
remarkable chain of circumstances
which, the state claims, shows Mrs
Luetgert was murdered by her hus-
band.
Mrs. Louisa Johnson, who lives neal
the Luetgert home, will be placed or
the stand by the state, whether the
motive witnesses are admitted or not
Mrs. Johnson would have testified be-
fore, but she has been seriously ill
She will tell of seeing Luetgert chase
his wife at the point of a revolver.

The High Explosive
Shell Which Will De-
stroy An Entire Ship.

detonated by the action of the fuse,
explained further on.
THE chief difficulty in firing high eX-
plosives through armor has not been
SO much to get a sufficiently insenSi-
tive high explosive for the purpose, but
to get fuse which will carry a suffi-
cient quantity Of decorative COM
pound to explode the insensitive. high
explosive without itself becoming ex-
ploded by the terrific shock of retarda-
ton of the shell in the act of piercing
the armor. 1t would do no good to
shoot through armor unless we have a
fuse carrying decorator which will
live to get through the armor to ex-
plcde the wet guncotton or other in
sensitive high explosive after the same
shall have passed through. The ire
mendous shock of retardation is suffi-
cient to instantly detonate any fulmi-
nate or other decorative compound
whatever.
by which a sufficient quantity of de-
tonative compound can be shot
through armor without being exploded
instantaneously upon striking the
plate, and that is by relieving the de-
tonative charge from the shock Of re-
tardation, by suspending the same
within the projectile in such wise that
1t shall constitute a sort of plunger
body, so that, upon the striking Of the
shell upon the target, the velocity of
the body Of decorative compound is
not retarded, but passes freely forward
in tube within the shell without op-
position thus giving the proiectiIe
time to pass through the plate. Now.
such fuse has been invented by Prof.
Philip Alger, of the United States
navy, and myself Jointly, and has been
made and tested. 1t has already been
shot through four-inch arnor plate
with satisfactory results.
1T should be borne in mind that
there are two distinct spheres of use
fitness for the high explosive or aerial
torpedo; the one for the penetration of
light armor and the other as a sub
marine mine. A practical system of
throwing aerial torpedoes from ord
nance may be justly termed a system
of placing and springing submarine
mines at the will of the operator
standing at the gun. The aerial tor
pedo or high explosive shell should
never be used against heavy armor,
for high explosives, even in large
quantities, exploded untamped against
thick armor plate can do but little
damage. The arrnor must be pene-
| trated and the shell explode inside the
vessel, or 1t must be used as a sub
marine mine, or the shell must carry q
sufficiently large quantity of explosive
to destroy the ship by exploding over
the deck on striking some of the super
structure. Hudson Maxim.

WHEAT MARKET WILD.
Heavy Fluctuations Soaring Out
Smaller Spectators.

CHICAGO, Sept. 19.-The Times
Herald will say tomorrow: The first
week in September wheat sold at a
dollar; last week it was down almost
to 80 cents The ordinary speculator
is afraid of that sort of market. He is
not logical enough to see that 1t is a
capital one for him if he will do his
operations in proportion as the f1uctua-
tions have increased. He must, accord
ing to his view, Swing his line :"
though, If he does anything; and so,
between his own inclination to over
trade and the markets inclination to
make wide fluctuations, he has suffered
until he is wroth over the present Or
der of things. 1t is really the sort Of
wheat market to expect, where very
bullish news and an unusually high
price contest 1t is the sort of one
likely to last for sixty days longer, I'M
til it becomes clearer whether or not
the unusual shortage of the world has
been discounted by the extraordinary
advance.
1.-The foreign news has not of late be-
come one whit less bullish. The home
position has not developed anything
bearish. SO far as the statistical devel-
opments are concerned they are about
as the people who make them their pro-
fession predicted they would be. Clear
ances are, however as large as in 1891,
when the wheat price went over a dol
lar. The movement from first hands in
this country is about the same as 1891,
but larger considerably than last year.
The stocks everywhere are less than
in the memorable 1891 year, and the &C
cumulations at this season are not half
as fast as then
But the price. the Spectator cannot
forget that, and should not. He can
not rid himself of the idea that a 30
cent advance is good deal to hold;
and that, like the increase of friction
after a certain speed, advances become
harder and harder after carried GER
tain length.
Nothing is more extraordinary this
season than the disappearance of
wheat, Notwithstanding the heavy re-
: ceipts. Wheat has been going out
Of the country almost as fast as it has
been coming into sight. If it continues
to do that for six weeks longer it might
become a bull market again

There are signs of revival on the
stock exchange. Both speculative and

the tendency is distinctly upwards.

American railway securities have

crowd and after talk on the religious pc
liefs, free thinker stepped into the clrcie
and a discussion began. The newcomer was
well posted, and he made his points WIN
great emphasis, and the crowd seemed to slee
with him. The Mormons soon left, ana were
followed by Christian worker, VINO soon pe-
came involved in an argument with the Iree
thinker. AS in the former case, the crown
now fastened to the spot with intense inter-
est cheered the free thinker The renglous
worker soon tired, and was succeeded by TWO
socialists For a time they eXpounoea their
doctrines, and the free thinker still mad
something to say at intervals. AS the crowd
was about to break up a spiritualist became
interested and the principals were engaged
in a warm argument when the officer con-
cluded it was about time to break up the
party. Had this not been done it is not un-
likely that the discussion would have lasted
until morning.
During the evening at least several hun
dred people listened to the various speakers
At different times amusing incidents occurred
