Negotiations i'm Progress Which
Promise an Early Settlement.
Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. IA promi-
nent coal operator in the Pittsburg dis
trict said that the miners strike would
be settled probably within the next
forty-eight hours. temporarily at least.
The operators have been quietly nego-.
tiating with the miners officers since
the adjournment of the Pittsburg CON
ference and a settlement is believed to
be close at hand. The operators Of
tered to pay the men Ga cents a ton
pending arbitration. II the miners
would consent to such an agreement
with the understanding that the arbi-
traitors could not fix a price below 60
cents or above 60 cents. President
Katchford made a counter proposition
for arbitration, stipulating that the
lei be paid SO cents a ton, 5 cents of
that price to be turned over to a
trustee or trustees and to be held until
the arbitration is completed, and then
paid to the miners if the rate is fixed
at 50 cents. If the rate is fixed below
that figure then a portion of, the
amount held by the trustees is to be
given to the miners and the other re-
bated to the operators.

TRIAL OF
Ch1caso's Sausagemaker Charged
With the Murder of His Wife

With the Murder of His Wife
chicago, Sept. 1. - The trial Of
Adolph H.. Luetgert, the sausage
maker, for the alleged murder Of his
wife on May 10 last, began in earnest
yesterday. Two witnesses were. ex-
amined-Diedrich Richness, brother Of
Mrs. Luetgert, and Louis Luetgert,
the tWelve-year-old son of the accused.
The testimony Of Richness tended in
the main to show the alleged indif-
terence of Luetgert to the fate of his
wife, and alleged disinclination to re-
port the matter of her disappearance
to the police department. Louis Luet-
CERT, who is a remarkably bright lad
for his age, produced something Of a
sensation, and it is believed caused
counsel for the prosecution to regret
having placed him on the stand. The.
boy has already been examined twice
as to his knowledge of his mothers
disappearance, and in neither case did
ne refer to having heard his mother
about the house after he had been sent
to bed. To-day he recounted how he
had gone to a circus On the eve of his
mothers disappearance. He returned
about 1870 and found his mother. to
whom he described what he had seen
at the circus. While engaged in this
conversation he said his father entered
the room and ordered him to- bed.
Later he said he heard his mother de-.
scending the e a stairway in the"di-
rectlon of the sausage factory. This
portion, of his testimony was identical
with that given at the preliminary
nearing. But yesterday he continued
10y saying that after he had been
asleep for a long time he suddenly
awakened by hearing a rustling Of
skirts in his bed room. He called ont.
is that you, motaer?" and his; moth
ers voice replied: mo, it is me" The
lad declared that he was sure that it
was his mothers voice which replied
to his query, II he soon vent to
sleep. The states attorney asked
Louis why he had not told this part of
his testimony before, and he replied
that no one had asked him if he had
seer his mother after retiring. Court
adjourned for the day, the defense re-
1usl1lg to ~cross-eXamine the boy.

KING OF THE TURF
STAR POINTER PAGES THE FASTEST
MILE ON RECORD.
The Famous Tennessee Stallion Goes
II Mile in the Phenomenal Time
of 1869 1-4-The Widest Excite
ment Prevailed When 1t Became
That the TwO-Minute
Mark Would Be Smashed-A Fair
err Mile Was Never Timed.

Readville, Mass, Aug. 81. - Star
Pointer, the famous pacing horse,
broke the worlds record for one mile
On this track, pacing an exhibition
mile in 1853 IA. The track was in ex-
cellent condition and Star Pointer
made the record with hardly an effort.
When it was started it was not
thought he would do better than 2:O2.
When he passed the quarter-post in 80
fiat, however, there was intense ex-
element. The half-mile was turned in
so ga and the third quarter in 1:25.
On the stretch the horse seemed to
fairly fly and crossed the tape in the
wonderful time of 1859 IA. He was
paced by a running horse. Star Point
err was driven by McClary.
McClary nodded for the word and
off the PAGER went. The first quarter
was at an even 2 minute gate in 80
seconds, and then McClary called on
his PAGER to move the second quarter.
There was a great cheer, for he was
beating two minutes all to pieces and
got the half in 80 81 with the second
quarter in 20 81 seconds. The third
quarter was the fastest of the mile.
The distance was covered in 20 IA
seconds, a 1857 gait. Around the turn
Pointer seemed to waver the small
est fraction Of a second, but McClary
had him right almost before one could
see it, and then they Strengthened into
the stretch. The great stallion ap-
peared to freshen in the last few
strides, gathering fresh strength and
courage as he neared the wire, and
finished like 4 lion in the record-break-
ing time Of 1859 IA. A mighty shout
went up. Men yelled as though pos
sessed. In the grand stand the own
er of the horse had his hand wrung
until it ached. Over the fences jumped
men who knew horse and driver or
who were carried away with the en-
thusiasm of the moment. Hardly had
McClary got the horse to a stand-still
before they had him on their shoulders
and he was borne down the stretch to
the judges stand, and there, as the
band played Hail to the Chief" he
was introduced to the throng. A tip OF
the hat and renewed applause for the
horse, owner and trainer rang out. A
fairer mile was never timed. Not a
watch in the stand but what agreed
with the time announced.
Boston, Aug. 31.-Star Pointer and
Joe Patchen, the PAGERS, have been
matched for a mile race at Mystic
Park on Sept. IL for a purse of $4,000,
the winner to take all.
