Legal Proceedsmgs That Threaten the
Dispensayy Monopoly.
CHARLESTON. 8. c., May 18.-Argu-
mems were subm tilted in the Circuit
Court to-day asking for a perpetual in
junction against the State Dispensary
from interfering with liquors shipped here
for sale in original unbroken package.
The motion was opposed by the Attorney
General and the court took the case under
advisement.
The Vandercook wholesale California
liquor-house asks in its bill to be allowed
to store goods here snd sell in opposition
to the dispensary, and the chances seem
to be that the injunction will be granted.
This means the death of the whisky mo.
nopoly in South Carolina. 1t is under
stood that special session of the Legis.
lature will be called in case this is done.
The State is deter rmined not to give up the
fight. Should it lose the case it will go 10

Alarming Aspect of the Tnftors' Strike
IN NetC York City.

IN Netc York City.
NEW YORK, N. Y, May 1s-The
strike of the tailors is assuming enormous
proportions The indications are tnat 1t
will spread to other cities If the strikers
reports are to be believed. Twenty-Five
thousand tailors, asserting that their
families are starving, are now striking.
The East Side is in ferment. Strike
leaders say that 5000 workers will be out
before the end of the week. The trouble
has been brewing for some time and many
people wonder that the strike did not
occur long ago. The tailors have very
strong organization and they are very
popular with other organizations and 1t IS
more than probable that sympathetic
strike may result. If such strike does
happen there will be thousands more
destitute families in New York added to
those who are already in need OF food.
Judging from present appearances
neither the strikers nor he EN- ployers will
yield unless some very important conces-
sions are made.

to the extent of $23O32S Moore's con-

sisted of insurance fees, should under
the law have been paid to the state
treasurer instead of to himself and
that he is responsible only to the in
surance companies by which the money
was paid. His action was due to an
understanding between attorneys for
the prosecution and the defense, and
the case will go to the supreme court,
whatever the decision Of the lower

The Prisoners Counsel Promises Some
startling Developments.
Chicago, Sept.22.-The direct evidence
in the Luetgert case is In, and the state
has rested. The last witness Of the
prosecution was Mrs. Louise Miller
Johnson. who testified that upon one
occasion she saw LCotgert In a rage
chase his wife out Of the house. The
sausage maker, the witness said, was
armed with a revolver. He called his
wife names and threatened to shoot
but did not When she left the stand
State Attorney Deneen said: IF the
court please, the state rests"
There was a general movement in the
crowded room as the spectators glanced
toward Luetgert and his counsel Luet-
gert leaned forward and whispered to
cX-Judge Vincent. The latter arose
and made a formal motion that the
case be taken from the jury on the
ground that the state had failed to
make out case. Judge Tuthln prompt
ly overruled this motion without ar
gument Then ex-Judge Vincent stated
that owing to the lateness of the hour
he would like TO postpone his opening
address TO the jury until today. There
was no objection TO this, and an ad-
jounment was taken.
1t required Just 20 days for the pre-
sentation of the evidence of the pros
ecution. Ex-Judge Vincent said last
night that the defense would present
its side Of the case in just half that
time MY address to the jury in OPEN
ing VIII be short and directly to the
point" he said. I'VE deny the murder
the corpus delecti has not been

fact cannot be assumed nor inferred

Escape From Prison.
Trent p. Sept 22.-John Meyers made
daring but unsuccessful attempt to
escape from the New Jersey state
prison early in the morning, Meyers.
by clever work, escaped from his cell
to the roof Of the wing in which he
was located. He got as far as the
roof of the portico over the main en-
trance, where he was captured, as re-
suit Of an alarm. given by one of the
deputies in the watch tower. Meyers
had been planning to escape for a long
time. He was located in one Of the
old wings, which have no steel bar
cells. With the assistance of a knife
he dug a hole in the wall of his cell
near the top and climbed throught this
to the attic, where, with saw which
he made from knife, he cut through
the rafters.
Meyers said afterwards that he had
worked all night, and that he would
have made his escape before morning
had it not been for the searchlight To-
Gated in one of the towers and used
every half hour for making a survey
Of the roofs and yard of the prison.
When not in use the light points dl-
rectly on the roof through which
Meyers cut hole behind a chimney.
For -4pose of deceiving the wing
watchman Meyers put in his bed the
bricks taken from the wall, and with
a loaf of bread which he had soaked
in water he made the image Of a mans
head, so that when the watchman
passed he would think Meyers was in
bed. The prisoner had also fixed him
self up with a pair of trousers made of
his bed clothing, and a 25 foot rope,
which he made from a blanket
Meyers was sentenced to seven years
In November, 1894, from Union county,
for breaking and entering.
