well-trimmed lawns and luxuriant
gardens, the mansion commands q.
beautiful view, lofty mountains, thick
wooded forests and Summarizing sheets
of water stretching away in the land
scape. .
The mountain glens and forests
neighboring the demesne of Muckross
Abbey are, celebrated. for their red
deer, and the hall of the mansion is
decorated with gigantic antlers, taken
from stays shot in the vicinity. These
trophies 50 excited the interest of the
prince consort that he, remarked to his
host, the late Col. Herbert, that he had
no idea "stags with such antlers could
be shot in Ireland" Col. Herbert re-
piled that much finer specimens were
still roaming wild in the Killarney
woods. About four lyearsago the larg-

estate. & e"SS@~

ease variety. The case is Of exquisite
liz carved and inlaid wood, and the dial
Is Of beautifully wrought silver. It has
astronomical and meteorological at
tachments, and peculiarly musical
chime. The entire design is very an
tique. This clock was purchased at q
sale of curiosities in London, about
so years ago, and is believed to have
been taken from despoiled monastery
in Germany. One of the English
Rothschilds while visiting MucEross

The Girl Gives strong Evidence o.

Chicago. Sept. q. The strongest wit
ness for the defense who has appeared
in the. Luetgert trial was on the stand
Saturday. The witness was Mary Siem-
>ering, the domestic in the Luetgert
household, for love of whom it is
charged by the state that the prisoner
murdered his wife. There was no mis-
taking the feeling Of the girl toward
Luetgert. She was there to do him all
the good in her. power, end she stood.by
imstoutly. She had made sta tements
before the grand jury and to the states
attorney before the trial began, and
when her assertions on the stand Sat-
urday differed from de sta teine hts: size.
10 said to have made at that time she
had not the slightest hesitation IL, re-
pudiating anything she might have said
when not under oath.
The states attorney subjected her to
q rigid cross-examination, and although.
he succeeded at. times in confusing her
she was game and full of nerve ,to the
last. She contradicted herself several
times, but was quick to, catch herself,
and the last statement that she made
In any part OF her testimony was al.

MED In most positive manner that she
had been the disturbing element be-
tween Luetgertsand his wife, and said
that neither by night Or by day, alone
or IN: company, had she ever visited
Luetgert in his factory or elsewhere in
IN improper manner. She insisted that
the prisoner had always been rood to
his wife, and that in her opinion the lat
