The srial of Adolph l.. Luetgcrt, the
Chicago sausage manufacturer. charged
with numbering his wife and dissolving
her body in II vat containing caustic solu-

lasted for over eight weeks and was fol-
lowed by court room spectators and news

Where is Mrs. Luetgcrt. il not dead; and
if dead, by whose hand was she killed ?
The State propounded these questions per-

death by the murderous hand of her hus-
band. The defense rs stuutly insisted
that a man mus not bc hanged because

a clerk in j country store at $40 year
and his board. Three years later he went
to Albion, n. v, where he was employed
as cabinetnaker. During the following
ten years he was engaged in contract
work of various kinds. In 1859 he went
to Chicago. Between 1850 and 1862 he
remodeled several passenger coaches into
sleeping cars. These cars We're first run
over the Chicago and Alton and Galena
and Chicago railroads. In 1865 the first
complete sleeping car, "The Pioneer" was
finished ut Il cost of $4,000. He then
organized the Pullman Palace Car Com
pany and established the plant at the
town of Pullman, which was plan Of his
own creation, and has grown to splendid
proportions and is known the world over
as model city. At the time Of his death
Mr.. Pullman is repute1 to have been
worth $40, 100000.
The Pullman Palace Car Company is
the largest railroad manufacturing inter
est in the world. 1t employs capital of
$4,000, 900 and has assets exceeding $45,-
100000. About the time Of the Worlds
Columbian exposition it had in its service
2,239 cars and employed 1855 persons,
whose annual wages aggregated 1881, :
527, being an average Of $61O per capita.
At present, however, both the number Of
employees and their wages are lower than
then.
But, although Mr.. Pullman was the
moving spirit Of this vast enterprise, his
capacity for business was not fully salts
fed in any single venture. Among the
important interests with which he was
identified were the Eagleton iron works Of
New York, and the New York Loan and
Improvement Company, which he organ>
ICED and which built the Metropolitan
Elevated Railway on Second aud Sixth
avenues. He had also been interested in
the Nicaragua canal plan since it's incep-
ton.
At the time it was constructed, in 1884,
the Pullman Office building, where the
business headquarters Of the car COM
pany are maintained, was probably the
finest business and apartment block in
Chicago, and it does not stand behind
many to this day. His home, mansion
Of brown stone on Prairie avenue and
Eighteenth street, is one Of the finest ap-
pointed residences in Chicago.
/ In business Mr. Pullman was prompt
but never hasty. Socially, he was court
~ in manner, but his Formally was not
such as to make him unapproachable. In
1867 he married Miss Hattie A. Sanger,
daughter Of James I. Sanger Of Chicago.
Their four children are Florence, Harriet,
George NJ. and Walter, the last two being
twins.

Theobald Kohlcr. a saloon keeper at $50 Tenth

had no difficulty in buying q drink. When he
told Kohler that no must 20 to the station house
the saloon keeper became furious.

walked along with Callahan. I've been thrown

The meaning OF his threat was made apparent
when he WIS arraigned before the Sergeant at

Winchell, who walks the beat on which tho

The Sergeant sent for Capt Schmittberger.

entertained them even moro fully than the
saloon keeper had intended. He not only locked
Kohler up for violating the Excise law, but also
for bribery. kohler had not contemplated this
outcome and he was much chagrined. Police
man Winchell denied Kohler's charges. but WAS

necessary to do this, as the police cannot take

HoRsE FALLS INTO A TRENCH.
Alarmed by q BIcycIe-It Took Engineering q
Get 1t Ont.

While DR.. H. +. Hanks of 766 Madison
avenue was driving a spirited horse attached
to a light road wagon along Sixty-fifth street
yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock. a bicyclist
was speeding uptown along the asphalt side
path of Madison avenue. The horse became
frightened at the bicycle and SHE'D. The doc
tor tugged at the reins. for along Sixty-ffth
street at this point there is q great trench. 1t
extends fifty feet east of Madison avenue,
measuring six feet deep and seven feet wide.
1t is being used to lower the water and gas
mains beneath the conduit of the new electric
street car line on Madison avenue.
Despite DIR. Hanks's efforts his horse
crashed against the flimsy railing erected as q
and harness breaking free from the vehicle. Tho
wagon whirled over, but the doctor saved him
self by. jumping. He was not hurt. His
horses hind legs proved to be caught between
one wall of the trench and a two-foot water
main, while its front legs were stuck between
the big main and q smaller one beside it, The
animal was kicking and struggling franlically
to get free and was in great danger of injuring
itself.
The ambulance of the Bergh society was
sent for. While awaiting its arrival a big
crowd gathered and offered all sorts of sugges-
lions about getting the horse out. Meanwhile
the animal was still trying to kick its feet free.
At last it succeeded. A bridge used for cross
ing trenches in the street was then carried to
45 degrees. one end being level with the sur
face Of the street. The horse was coaxed along
the ditch to this bridge. which 1t was able to
mount easily. A cut on one leg was the only
injury it sustained. When the Bergh wagon
arrived it found the ditch empty.
