Luetgert Murder Trial.

Chicago, September IS The battle
between the experts has begun, and
from now on there will be denials
thrown at the evidence of the medical
and chemical wise men who testified
for the State in the Luetgert case. The
defence put its first witness in the eX-
pert line on the stand to-day, and he
will be followed 10y long string of
others. The witness to-day was DR.. B.
l. Reise, who boiled two bodies in
Caustic putasA iii he vat in Luetgert $
sausage factory and obtained results
different from those who boiled
bodies in caustic p )tash iu behalf ofthe
State.
Another witness was Armadale Op-
dyke, peddler, who testified that long
after the murder is said to have been
co.Amitted he saw Mrs. Luetgert in the
neighborhood of Janesville Wis. He
said that there was no chance of bis
being mistaken and he identified the
photograph which he was shown in
court in the most positive manner.
Two girls were placed upon the stand
to impeach the testimony of Emma
Scinpke, who swore that she saw
Luetgert and his wife enter the factory
on the night on which the murder is
said to have been committed
There is q strong probability that
Mary Siemmering will be called upon
to answer charge Of perjury. In her
testimony she gave evidence rehecting
on the manner in which she had been
treated by inspector Schaak and assist
ant States attorney McEwen before the
trial, and as she gave sworn evidence
on the witness stand directly contrary
to the sworn evidence she gave at the
preliminary hearing, the assistant
States attorney says that he will bring
a charge of perjury against her.

Greater New York

New York, September 27.-The
most important development in the
Greater New York political situation
was the unanimous nomination of
Henry George for mayor by the united
Democracy, composed of numerous
free silver and Bryan clubs which were
active in the campaign of last Fall. Mir.
George once polled $4,000 as u labor
candidate for mayor Of New York. His
strength, if he should accept, would be
drawn principally from the Democratic
vote. The united Democracy also
adopted a resolution condemning "the
action OF tha state committee in retus
my to ltaiIirm the Chicago platform
and in nominating AS candidate for
Chief Justice of the Court of Appeals
Alton B. Parker, whose party fealty is
so doubtful that he popularly believed
to have voted against the Bryan and
Sewell electoral ticket last year.
The convention nominated John G..
Boyd for comptroller and Winfield S.
Overton for president Of the municipal
council. Richard Croker was quoted
as saying that Henry George was "a
good man, u fine man, and Mr.. George
is said to have expressed the hope that
Tammauy would iudorse the Chicago
platform. A belief is current that Mr..
George will not accept to-night's nomi-
nation if Tammany indorses the Chi
cago platform. On the other hand, the
old time Democratic leaders prefer to
ignore the silver question altogether,
So the Democrats are as much worried
over Henry George as the republicans
are over Seth Low.

The Cuban Question i,

Washington, Septembar 26.-The
Spanish Minister, Dupuy de Lone, has
arrived here somewhat unexpectedly
from LenoX, where he was spending
the Summer with his family. He
reached Washington yesterday noon
and later in the day called at the State
Department and saw Assistant Secre
tary of State Day. His presence in the
city was not made known by the de-
partnent and il was not until to-day
that his arrival became known. The
legation is closed for the summer and
the Minister took temporary quarters
i'll an uptown apartment house. He
expected also to call on Secretary
Sherman. 1t is said by officials that
the minister's visit has no special
slou'ficance at Iii, ine. Eta n ftal\-
ing at new legation building, corner
Of Massachusetts, avenue X street, to be
opct ed Ill October. There appears to
be no doubt however, that the visit
related to some extent to receut devel-
opments at Madrid in connection with
Minister Woodford's s interview with the
Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs
the Duke of retuan. The presence of
Mr.. Dupuy de LONE led to conjecture
that Spain's answer to the recent views
presented by Minister Woodford was
about to be submitted 1t can be posi-
lively stated, however, that no answer
has been made, and that up to the
present time the answer has not been
framed 1t would not be Il surprise,
however if it was determined upon at
any time in the near future, and it is
thought that Minister Dupuy de
Lome's visit is so timed as to permit
him to be at the capital in case any
development, in way of answer or
otherwise, occurred at Madrid. rhe
only manner in which an answer
could be agreed upon is at Cabinet
council, attended by the Queen Regent
The Queen arrived at Madrid to-day
Her arrival will give the first oppor-
tunity for definite action,and this prob
ably had some part in the minister's
return to Washington at this time.

of coal rates charged by the Alabama

of coal rates charged by the Alabama
& Nicksburg and Alabama Great
Southern Railway Companies These
cases involved the transportation of
coal from Corona, Birmingham and
Blockton, Ia, to local points in
Mississippi on the Alabama s; Vicks-
burg Railway at higher rates than were
charged for longer distances over the
same line to jackson and Vicksburg,
Miss. The various carriers from Ala
bama mines to Jackson agreed upon
the rate to that place, which was less
for each line than was charged on coal
to shorter distance points over the
same line in the same direction. THIS,
the opinion held, violates the fourth
section of the Interstate Commerce
act. Coal from Alabama mines to
Nicksblrg must 90 by railroad, the
cotupt utlOn ui 9uca coal in l,-laI,
is'wlth coal brought over long distances
down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers
from the Pitsburg, Pa, district This
competition was held not to be rail
and water competition for transporta-
ton from the same locality, but the
competition Of mines or markets for
supplying coal to Vicksburg, the force
and effect of which is determined by
commercial considerations peculiar to
the business of shippers and wholly
disconnected from the circumstances
and conditions under which transpor-
tation is conducted.
The commission further ruled that
the long and short haul clause of the
law applies only when the traffic is
''over the same linen and "in the same
direction" and to Transportation I'M
der substantially similar circumstances
and conditions" and the "shorter'
must be included within the "longer"
distance; and that, notwithstar ding
these limitations, and injustice or hard
ship which may result to carriers from
compliance with the long and Short
haul rule is removable by the commits
sion upon application by such carriers
under the procedure authorized by the
provision to the fourth section.

A Disastrous Fire.

Washington, September 29.-Fire
broke out in the central power station
Of the Capital Traction Company, u
few minutes before II O'Clock tonight
and in thirty minutes the magnificent
six story structure was doomed. The
building occupies the entire block from
Pennsylvania avenue to G. street and
from l3 - to l4th streets. The blaze
started in the southwest corner and
despite the efforts of the entire fire
department swept like wind through
the enormous building. The heat was
SO intense that the men were driven
from the adjoining street. When it be-
came evident that no efforts could save
the power station, the department turn
ed its attention to the adjoining pro.
perty, but the flames leaped across 14th
street on the west to big livery stable,
and then across IS 10 street on the east
and attacked q row Of three story brick
houses. SO fearful was the heat that
the firemen could not get within reach
of the burning buildings They We're
driven back foot by foot until the
streams from the hose pipes could not
reach the fire. lhe entire fire depart
ment was on the scence, but 50 fierce
was the conhagration that their efforts
were futile.
The power house was built four years
ago. 1t is six stories in height and, be-
sides containing the power plant OF the
Pennsylvania avenue lines Of the Cap
ital Traction Company, is occupied by
dozens of offices. The walls began to
fall by y O'Clock aud with the decreas-
ing heat the men were enabled TO get
to work on adjoining property. Several
houses, however have been gutted.
At this hour, it is impossible to state
the loss. Approximately it will be
about $500 0o0 on the ba,lding, about
"a machinery a. ! stored a4.s,
while the losses sustained by tenants
will amount to 100000 more, making
the total damage 81 100000.
Two hours after the first alarm was
given the huge building was reduced to
a few crumbling walls. The loss on ad-
joining buildings will not be large as
those burned are old and small. At
one time the offices Of the Southern
railway were threatened, but prompt
work by the firemen checked the
flames. AS a result of the fire, the navy
yard and Georgetown division of the
traction company will be tied up until
power can be installed at some other
point.

SLUMP IN WHEELS.
The Day of the Hundred Dollar
Wheel is Past.

New York. June 3O.-Excitement caus-
ed by the cornering of the wheat mar
ket will be mild in comparison with that
which will be created when it is gener-
ally known that there is a slump of %
per cent in the price of bicycles, led by
the Pope Manufacturing company. This
announcement was made today and
created a sensation in the trade.
While some maintain that the cut
comes too late in the season to create
serious disturbance, it was generally
conceded by manufacturers and agents
that the day of the 500 bicycle is over
and that prices will be cut still more.
No manufacturer will have the temer-
ity to ask 500 for his 1898 model.
Geo. H. Day, vice president and gen
eral manager of the Pope Manufacture
ing company, telegraphS from Hartford
that the cut in the price of COlum bia
and Hartford bicycles will go into eff
feet July 1. The 1886 Columbia, which
was sold this season for $85, will be
placed at $50. The 1886 Hartford for
both sexes which was listed $50 and
which was reduced from SIS early in the
season, will sell for $50. Patterns No.
and No 2 Hartford, which were held at
$50 at the beginning of the season and
later reduced to- $50 will be sold for $40
and S45 respectively. Patterns No. 5
and No. Hartford, for boys and girls,
will be reduced from $40 to $50.
Agents for the different bicycle man
ufacturers said this afternoon that it
was too early for them to say definitely
whether they would meet the cut of the
Pope Manufacturing company or en-
deavor to maintain present prices.
John s. Holmes, manager of the Rem
ingtCn Cycle cOmpany'S agency, said:
I'VE will stick to the 500 price for
our high-grade wheel for the balance
of this season.
w w. Charles, agent for the Fowler,
said:
1--WE will maintain our price of S1OO
for truss frames and $50 for straight
fra mes"
At the Liberty agency, Frederick E.
Lee, treasurer, said:
1--WE have already cut the price of our
500 model to $50, and Pope is only fol-
lowing in line"
A NJ. Franklin, secretary of the
Brooklyn Cycle board of trade, said this
afternoon:
The day of the 800 bicycle is past
With a lower price, we will sell stand
and wheels where an inferior so-called
high-grade bicycle is now sold, OstenSi-
bly, at a cut rate. We will sell three
wheels now where we have sold one be-
FORE
1t was announced also upon good
authority that the J. p. Lowell Arms
company, manufac turer of the Lowell
Diamond cycles, listed at 800, has de-
cided to reduce the price to $65. Re
ports from Boston state that the entire
bicycle trade seems to be demoralized
and that there are rumors that many
ductiOns soon. Some of them view the
outlook with apprehension and intimate
that they will close out their business.
Among the manufacturers who are said
to contemplate diScOunting is the Hum
ber company.
