HOUSES MUST BE NUMBERED.
Matter Discussed at Mayors Cabine
Meeting Last Night,

The monthly meeting of the mayors
cabinet was held last evening, and was
attended by nearly all the heads of city
departments. Several minor matters
were talked over, but the most import
ant matter discussed was that concern
ing the numbering of streets. One of
the gentlemen present said that he had
been embarrassed and annoyed by the
lack of numbers on various streets. He
also said that he had heard several
persons complain of the same thing
Some years ago numbers were as
signed to each street, number being
given to each 20 feet of land on every
street.
1t was finally agreed by the meeting
to direct the city engineer to transmit
to the police department list of those
streets which have been laid out with
out numbers being assigned, with in
formation as to which end of the streets
the numbers begin on. The superin-
tendent of police will then be required
to give list of these streets to those
police officers in whose beat they are
situated. with directions to notify
those persons whose residences are
without numbers. that numbers must
be put on at once

His Partner Explains the Purchase of the
Potash Found in the Vat.

Chicago Sept 27.-The leading event
of the day in the trial of Luetgert was
the evidence of William Charles, Luet-
gert's business partner. He explained
why, as he claimed, the caustic potash
in which the body of Mrs Luetgert is
alleged by the prosecution to have been
dissolved was bought. According to
Charles story the potash was pur-
chased as the principal ingredient of a
quantity Of soft soap to be used in
cleaning up the big factory prepara-
tory to its sale to an English syndicate
The witness said he suggested this
method of putting the factory in shape
himself and that Luetgert, acting upon
the suggestion, ordered barrel of
caustic potach weighing 375 pounds
sent to the factory in March last. This
was about the time the prosecution
claims the negotiations were pending
between Luetgert and Davey, the mys-
terious Englishman, who is said to
have represented the syndicate, and
who borrowed something like $25,000
firm Luetgert.
Charles also offered an explanation
of the apparently barricaded door to
the stairway, by telling of a chase for
rats in which he was an active par
ticipant.
On the evening of April 80 he and
Luetgert, with others, We're in the base
ment, when a terrier which belonged
to the witness got after rat Charles,
Luetgert and the others moved boxes,
barrels and other obstacles to aid the
dog in his chase, and the boxes and
barrels We're hurled in a pile against
the door. The barricade was uninten-
tional, he said.
Charles said that, besides the caustic
potash, two or three barrels of tallow,
quantity of grease and some Clipped
bone, which was to be used in making
the soft soap, were delivered at the fac
tory.

Hazleton, Pa, Sept. 27--The coroner S

striking miners at Lattimer met in
Deputy Coroner Crowman's office to-day
and after an hours deliberation, render
ed the following verdict:
THAT from the circumstances of the
case and the evidence offered, the said

their deaths by gunshot wounds on Sep

Phillip j. Boyle, Thomas T. Thomas.
Barton Freas and Peter McKirnan of
this Jury, do further say that the said
Clement Platock with others, was
marching peaceably and unarmed on the
public highway, that they were inter
capted by the said Sheriff Martin and
his deputies, and mercilessly shot to
death. and we do further find that the
killing was unnecessary and could have
been avoided without serious injury to
either person or property, and we find
finally that the killing was wanton and
uniustifiable, but in this we, George
Sfaue and f. j. McNeal of this jury do
not concur, and we, the jury, do fur-
Their say that there was such strong sus-
pfcion of unlawful violence at the hands

Now, there's not the slightest use in get
tine riled my wife,
Remember, I'm at present far from

When l say that though 1 dearly love our

Yet l know some others are as smart
as he,
And I cannot longer hold from you the
truth, my wife,
Though | know twill likely set you in
Z rage.
There may have been some kids besides
our youth. my wife.
Who weighed just as much as he did, at
his age.
AS you say, his eyes are bright as any
star. my wife.
And. of course, he no doubt has a
charming phlz.
But I'd not wonder if some other babes
there are, my wife,
With eyes and faces just as nice as his.
And now that have had chance TO tell.

To YOU. the things I long have wished
TO say
Please phone me-search your inmost
