NEWS FROM THE BR|NY DEEP
Successful Experiment With the
 Carrier Pigeons.
VALUABLE AID TO THE NAVY
Months of Patient and Hard Work Result in an Achievement Which Will Prove of
 Great Value to Mariners.

Washington, Sept. 3.-A message by carrier pigeon was received from Admiral Sicard on the flagship New York, of the North Atlantic squadron, at the Norfolk navy yard, at g o'clock this morning A copy was immediately telegraphed to Acting Secretary Roosevelt at the naval department. The message was as fol- lows:
 At Sea, 1:30 a. m., Sept. 3-Position degrees north of Cape Charles, light ship distant sixty-fve miles. Th= squadron, consisting of the New York, Brooklyn, Massachusetts, Indiana, Texas and Maine, is approaching the southern drill ground and will probably anchor about o'clock. Will dispatch anchorage later. Puritan is in sight.
 At the navy department this is said to be the first instance in our naval his- tory of the successful use of the carrier between naval vessels afioat and ths shore stations. It Is the result of sew eral months hard work on the part of the equipment bureau, which has placed pigeons aboard the ships from various Atlantic ports so that the commanders might be prepared to dispatch messages to any desired naval station. The re- suit is highly gratifying to the depart ment officials indicating, as it does, the possibility of developing most valuable means of communicating with our off shor= fleets.
 Later in the day another message was received from Admiral Sicard by the same means as the first. This stated that the water was so rough that the ships could not undertake target practice

FROM A FLYING TRAIN
Jumped or Fell H. Russell Ward and He Is
 Now Corpse.

Chicago Sept. S.-H. Ward Russell, the Englishman, who created sensation short time ago by eloping with the wife of Millionaire John Bradbury, of Los Angeles Cal, committed suicide some time during the early morning by throwing himself from Chicago and Northwestern railway train. The fact was not known until hours later, and as the result of a search which was immediately begun. the body of Russell was found at Wheatlands. Ia. It was not known at exactly what Tour he leaped from the train, but according to Conductor Galloway the act was com- mitted after o'clock this morning.
 Russell was evidently insane when he threw himself out of the car window. as he had been acting peculiar for the greater part of the trip, and frequently sent telegrams to all parts of the coun- try.
 He boarded the train at San Fran cisco, Cal, at 5:3O o'clock Monday even ing. He was assigned to drawing room B, car 2, and he had tickets through to Chicago. Early yesterday afternoon he began to show signs of insanity. He f1ourished two revolvers on the train several times and almost created panic amongst the other passengers. He told the conductor of the train who he was and acted in very peculiar manner. At nearly every stop the train made he would get off and send telegrams. One of these messages he sent to resident of Los Angeles, Cal, saying that if Mrs. Bradbury wanted him she could come to him, but for the present he would have to go to England and visit his wife,
 All yesterday and last night he acted in a restless manner and freqeuentiv left his apartment and created consideration amongst the passengers by his peculiar

 Additional reasons will be given and full report made of the general situ- alton at the convention. We would fur ther advise that delegates come untram-- mel1ed by resolutions and uninstructed. other than to act in your best interests. At this time it is deemed advisable, for the reason that provisions are made in the uniformity agreement now pend- ing in the Pittsburg district, and which it is understood will be operative in that district on and after January 1, 1898, to arbitrate the question of relative differ ential between pick and machine mining which will, we anticipate, do much to- ward furnishing us with more reliable data of that question than we possess at present. and to that extent will be bene- ficial to us in settling questions as be- tween machine and p.ck m,nirg.

TWAS IN THE DEAD O NIGHT
And While the Chicago Northwestern Vas
 WhirlinS Along,
THAT HE THREW HIS LIFE AWAY
Had Family in England But Recently Eloped With the Wife of a Millionaire of Los
 Angeles - Became Insane . Prior to His Jump.

Wheatland, Ia., Sept. S.-H. Russell Ward. of Santa Monica, Cal, who be- his connection with the elopement with Mrs. Bradbury, wife of the California millionaire, James H. Bradbury, met his death here today by Jumping from the Overland" limited on the Chicago and Northwestern railway. His body was picked up two hours after his death.
 This morning a crew of westbound freight train on the Northwestern road discovered the remains of man attired in suit of underclothing lying between the double tracks about half mile west brought to this place. There was noth- ing about the body to disclose it's identity but later it was learned the dead man was u. Russell Ward and that he had been a passenger aboard the overland limited, which passed here at 2:45 a. m. Wards ticket from San Francisco to New York was found on his clothing.
 It is supposed he rose from his berth in the sleeping car and mistaking the yestibule door for the door to the toilet room, stepped off the swiftly moving train to his death. He was untouched by the wheels, but his hip was. broken, and the means of his instant death was apparent from an ugly wound on the forehead. The body was otherwise bad ly bruised. The coroner returned a yer dict of accidental death. The remains were embalmed and now lie in the city hall awaiting the disposition of friends.

THE DEFENDANTS WIFE

 l- Affirmed.
THE JUDO : LISTED THE FACTORY
To View tn s ial Vat-Two Attorneys Accom- panic < m-Chemist Testifes to Im- mt Matters Which Will Go iaT Against Luetgert.
 

Chicago, Sept. 3.-Three women gave damaging evidence against the defendant in the Luetgert trial today. They posi- lively identified the rings found in the val as being the property of Mrs Luet- gers, and said that they had seen them on her hand The defense made a dss- perate effort to break down the evidence of the women, but they all stuck to their s.ofes and swore that the rings were maker had worn before she disappeared.
 The session of the court was short in the afternoon, as Judge Tuthill said he desired to make a personal visit to the factory and See for himself where the murder is said to have been committed. He took with him one attorney from the side of the defense and one frofm those engaged in the prosecution. During their visit to the factory no other person was alolwed around the premises.
 Carl Voelker chemist, who had been at one time, engaged with Luetgert in the manufacture of permanganate of pot ash and was also a. shipping clark in the factory, testified during the afternoon session that he was familiar with all of Luetgerts processes for making of sau- sage and that he had never had any oc- casion to use caustic potash around the place.
 The defendant, he said, could not have used the acid in his business. Voelker told the jury that on one occasion he saw Luetgart use violence towards his wife. She and another woman came into the offica at the factory one afternoon and Luetgert apepared to be in rage. The wftress was not in the office, but he saw Luetgert push his wife and her com panion out of the docr of the office. Mrs. Luetgsrt and the other lady hurried away. much excited. He heard Mrs. Luetgert say:
 "He has revolver and will kill us."
 The witness said he did not see the re- volver.
 The crush around the court room has increased to such proportions that it was found necessary today to take active measures to keep the crowd away from the trial.
 The court room is on the third floor of the criminal court building, and or- ders wer given that none of the passenger elevators shoul stop save at the second and fourth floors. Officers were then stationed at the stairways and only those who had business in the court room were allowed to pass. 7.

ready for distribution. The report is
more elaborate than usual, and gives
detailed statement Of the business of
the institution for the time covered.
In his report, Warden Wolfer speaks
highly of the working of the parole
law. Since it's inception, III paroles
have been granted and of this number
the violations Of the provisions of the
law have been very few. He also sug-
gestS that sentences should be so
gagged that prisoners will be dis
charged at the time of year when the
chances of securing employment are Of
the best and not during the winter
when work is scarce. He speaks flat
teringly Of the educational results OBJ
tanned from the night school and Chau-
tauqua circle.
The earnings of the prison for the
past two years were 800, S55.44, of
which the contract labor system melted
