Luthcr's Bones.

It is generally supposed that the
bones OF the great Reformer were torn
from their last resting place in the
church OF the Castle Of Wittenberg
during the Thirty Years war, and
scattered to the winds, like those Of
Wyckliffe At all events, no trace of
Luther's tomb has hitherto been dis
covered. One of the biographers of
Luther, Herr koestlin OF Halle, has,
however, raised no little sensation in
religious circles III Germany by a re-
cent article in a theological magazine,
which throws over the accepted ex-
PLANTATION of the disappearance of the
reformer's tomb as mere fiction. He
declares that two workmen engaged on
the restoration Of the church in Wit
tenberg Castle came across the coffin
and body of Luther, without letting
any Of their comrades know of their
find. 1t is alleged that they entered
the chapel by night and dug out the re-
mains, secretly reinterring them, in
fear Of arrest. There ought to be no
difficulty in discovering whether there
IS any truth in Herr Koestlin's state

Policeman Smiths Murderer to Be Put to
Death Jan. 10.
New York, Nov. 24.-Constantine Stei-
ger, alias Fritz Meyer, was today sen
fenced to die by electricity at Sing Sing
In the week beginning Jan. 10 for the
murder of Policeman Smith of the Fifth
Street station three weeks ago. When
Steiger was arraigned for sentence in
the criminal branch of the supreme
court he was extremely nervous as he
stood before Justice Fursman
The convicted murderer plucked nerv-
ously at his coat while Justice Fursman
was speaking.
You have been legally convicted, "
said the justice. 1.-THE jury could do
nothing else. You confessed your guilt,
and I now sentence you to die in the
electric chair in the week beginning
Jan. 10, and may God have mercy on
your SOUL
Steiger appeared to be glad that the
ordeal was over. He was led back to the
Tombs looking pale and haggard.
Sheriff Tamsen was IN court at the
time. After a consultation with Stei-
gers lawyer the sheriff decided to take
the condemned man to Sing Sing at
once.
1t was reported around the Tombs
prison today that Steiger was confess
Ing his long list of crimes to priest for
the purpose of making peace with the
world and receiving the rites Of the
Catholic church before the sentence Of
death about to be imposed on him would
be fulfilled.
Father Sander of st. Leonard's church
called at the Tombs. 1t was in st.
Leonard's church that Stsiger was
married and his children were christen-
ed. Father Sander on his last call had
been treated scornfully by Steiger, but
today the meeting was different Stei-
ger, with tears in his eyes, greeted the
priest, and the two went to one end of
the corridor, where they conversed in
low tones until they were interrupted
by the arrival of Steiger's wife Cecilia
and his sister Kate, who live at 1853
Meserole street, Brooklyn.
This was the first time Steiger had
seen his wife for, more than two years
At that time she left him because she
learned that Ne was a thief. Both
seemed to have forgotten the past at
the meeting today, as they kissed each
other repeatedly and embraced affec-
tiohately.
After~a few moments talk the entire
party adjourned to cell 16, on murder
ers' row. There the party staid until
Steiger was taken to court, where Jus
tice Fursman imposed the sentence of
death.

rested and Fined-Other Cases
Tried.

From all accounts and some investiga'
lions on the part of the officers there are
one or two houses of questionable char.
acter in our village and that right in the
business part of the city and under the
very noses of our good citizens.
For some time past Officer Stukel, IN
making his rounds at night, had noticed
that house on Birch Lane, near the
barracks. had been frequented by men at
all hours and accordingly SUSPECTED its
character. Yesterday the officer made
complaint before Justice Fisher, charging
a girl who lived in the house with being
a common prostitute Shepleaded guilty
and fine OF so and costs was imposed.
The girl said she had no home to go to
and had been driven to her present down
ward course, but probably because she
was too lazy TO work. By good deal
~os cross-questioning the officer succeeded
IN getting the girl to make a confession,
which implicated the man who ran the
ho9se, who was virtually her partner in
the proceeds, and his arrest followed.
The man gave hia name IA Barnev Flan-
aagan and was charged with keeping a
lhodse for the resort OF prostitutes, to
which, when brought before Justice
Fisher, he pleaded not guilty, but when
fthe girls testimony was introduced he
, acknowledged his guilt and was given
fhar tn ~ ha In nd
and costs. The girl said she paid Elan
nigan IS a month board besides the
division with him.
Both arrests we're made under the vii
lage ordinance. Officer Stukel deserves
considerable credit for the way he man.
aged this case and il is to be hoped he
will keep his eye on some other places.
Two cases involving the rights OF in
iants to contract debts were tried yes
rterday before Justice Fisher and were
made test cases for several others of
very similar nature. One trial came off
in the morning and occupied the atten.
ton of the court nearly all forenoon,
while the other was tried last evening
From the evidence it seems that several

the point was not proven. Attorney
