Money.
RICHMOND, VA, Aug. IL, 1897.

RICHMOND, VA, Aug. IL, 1897.
1t is easy to make money when
all conditions point to a return OF
real and continued prosperity.
What are the facts3 We have a
conservative administration. The
country will be governed in fair
ness to the interests Of business
men. The tariff question is set
tied. The political situation is
such that nothing adverse can be
done with the currency question
for three years. Liquidation is
finished. Leading papers in Eu-
rope recognize the deficiency OF
their crops. The United States IS
the only country in a position to
furnish necessary supplies Ex-
change has dropped sharply. Sc
curities have advanced handsome
~. Reactions are natural, healthy
and to be expected. The market
declined this week from one 10
three points, but promptly recov-
cred, and is now advancing.
In the great period of busines'
revival from 1870 to 1881, when
money was Gearer. securities sold
much higher. Strong people may
combine to sell the market down
to accumulate cheap stocks, but
the future is bright with promise,
and in our opinion all good securi-
ties are a purchase. There rarely
comes an occasion so favorable for
the making Of money.

section w: ''Tae controversy which has
arisen over section % has come entirely
over two amendments. one having been
made by the senate and the other by
the e.coHference. The section as framed
by the ways and means committee, and
passed BY the house. was the same as
in all previous tariffs, and if it had not
been amended after it left the house
no question could have arisen respect
ing it. The senate amendment to seo-
tion - amended the house section by
striking out the words ''or any act Of
congress" in the conditional clause,
" hich ia the modification of Importance
that is causing the most controversy.
Purpose ofthe Other Amendment.
MANY papers in commenting on the
section assume that the conferrees in
serted this amendment, and prseeed
70 comment on what they call a trick
in the dark etc The fact Is. however.
that this amendment was adopted in
open senate. The other amendment, it
now seems. was adopted by the con-
ferrees simply to prevent an evasion Of
the section by the landing of foreign
merchandise in Canada by vessels not
entitled to equal privileges in our ports,
then shipping it to the United States
and was not intended or understood 10
affect the bonding privilege under which
foreign merchandise can be continuous
ly shipped ard forwarded through Can
ada. Undoubtedly when finally settled
this amendment will be construed as
the conferrees intended and therefore
all the contention over 1t will fall to the
ground

On cross-examination Mrs. Harris
said that when shown the rings at the

after the arrest of Luetgert. she re-
membered that the initials OF Il. L."
were in the wedding ring in German
script. She said she had never seen a
large ring with a cameo in il on Mrs.
Luetgert's hand. She was asked If Mrs
Luetgert dia not wear a large gold ring
with a chain and heart attached. but
said she had rcvcr seen il. Mrs. Sophie
Tuohy was another ring witness. She
identified the rings. which. she said. Mrs.
i.uetgert had worn for years. From her
own finger she took small guard ring
somewhat resembling that found in the
vat and said she had bought 1t of a
teweler on Larrabee street. near North

said her brother Bicknese was angry
because the disappearance was not re-
ported to the police. but Bicknese did
wrong in getting angry. Mrs. Alvina
STANCE was the last witness before the
court adjourned for the noon recess.
She identified the rings as the previous
witnesses had.
Proceedings were cut short in the
afternoon by an early adjournment, or
dered by the court. Judge Tuthill, ac-
comparied by Assistant States Attor-
ney McEwen, and Judge Vincent (for
the defense), visited the sausage fac
tory and made an examination of the
premises. Jurge Tuthill In adjournins
court said he desired to see the factory
and the different points in and about 1t
involved in the evidence Personal
knowledge Of the place, he said, would
enable the court to rule fairly on aues-
tion5 brought up as witnesses give their
testimony. The only witness examined
at the afternoon session was Carl Voel-
ker. the chemist, who was employed by
Luetgert from the fall of 1884 to De-
cember, 1885. Voelker testified that
Luetgert engaged him first to make
chemical analyses of certain salts used
in the preservation of meats
Subsequently Luetgert engaged with
him in the manufacture of compound
permanganate Of potash for the pre-
servation OF meats, but the business
did not succeed very well. Then he
made him shipping clerk in the factory.
witness said Luetgert never used
caustic soda or potash In the manu-
facture OF sausages. and he never knew
him to use arsenic in the factory. The
witness described the processes used in
the business from the time raw meat is
received until the manufacture of the
sausage is complete. He said that dur.
ing the time he was an employe in the
factory the rGds in the basement were
not used for any purpcss-
Voelker told the jury that that on one
occasion he saw Luetgert use violence
toward his wife. She and another
woman came into the office in the fac
tory one afternoon. and Luetgert ap-
peared to be in a rage. Witness was
not in the office. but saw Luetgert
push his wife and her companion out
OF the door of the office. Mrs. Luetgert
and the lady with her hurried away
much excited, and he heard Mrs Luet-
eert say: He has a revolver and Will
kill u.s." Witness said he did not see
the revolver
