LUET1ERT JURY UNABLE TO
AGREE.


The gray light of a cold autumn
morning struggled through the big
windows Of Judge Tuthill's court at
Chicago on Friday as Adolph A.
Luetgert, the man who hos been on
trial on the charge of numbering his
wife, heard from the foreman of the
twelve men who had been considering
his case for sixty-six hours, the words !:
"We are unable to agree upon a
verdict"
Imperturbable as ever, evincing no
Joy at the words, the. wonderful nerve
of the Northsider was with HIM to
the end. He stood up and with only
a good-natured smile on his swarthy
face, shook hands with his son,
Arnold, his counsel and business part
ner, William Charles, and in less than
FIVE minutes was led back to jail, the
jury was dismissed and the great trial
was over. The twelve men were
divided as follows :
For Conviction and the Death
Penalty-Heickhold, Boyd, Blbby,
Mahoney, Behmiller, Hosmer, Shaw,
Franzen and Fowler.
For Acquittal-Harley, Holabird
and Barber.
When the jurors had received theil
vouchers they were taken down tc
the basement in an elevator and lett
the criminal court building by way o
rear entrance to the Jail yard.
1t was admitted by several OF then
that the disagreement was brough
about by wide difference of opinion
regarding the rings found in the vat
the testimony of Emma and Gottliebf
Schimpke, and the testimony o
Kenosha witnesses, who positively
testified that they saw Mrs. Louise
Luetgert alive in the Wisconsin towr
on May 3, 4 and S.
Juror Harley did no: believe th'
rings found in the middle vat o
Luetgert's factory were Mrs. Luet
gert's rings. Holabird was inclined
to believe the story of the Kenosh;
witnesses despite the impeachlng evl
dence introduced and Barber woulC
not believe the strong evidence glver
by the Schimpke sisters.
The other nine jurors reached al
agreement on the evidence shortl
after noon Tuesday and voted to
gether solidly from that time to tn
close. Altogether over thirty ballot
were taken, it is said.

No Request Will be Made
County will Not be Asked to Pay the
HazIeton Deputies.

Much is said by the Philadelphia
papers about the refusal by the county
commissioners to pay Sheriff Martins
deputies for their work at Hazle.on.
The fact is, there has been no demand
made for payment. 1t is pretty general
ly understood that the coal companies
that requested help at Hazleton
agreed to become responsible for the
costs. Sheriff Martin had such an
understanding with the companies be-
fore he started down there. When
Martin was appealed to the company
officials said they had men and depu-
ties ready for him on his arrival.
A demand was made on Controller
Benjamin Severn of Schuylkill county
but he refused payment. In consul
tation with Controller Lloyd, wher
the former was in Wilkesbarre attend
ing the firemen's parade, Mr. Lloy(
said that if such demand were made
here he would refuse to pay until HI
was compelled to by law. The de
mand will, however, not be made.

DULLNESS FOLLOWS A RUSH OF
ORDERS.
Decrease in Volume Of Business But In.
crease ia Working Force.

r. G.. Dun & Cos. weekly review
of trade says:
After the heaviest buying ever
known in many branches during Sep
tember and the first half of October,
1t was both natural and desirable that
a quieter period should give time for
testing the size and temper of the
retailer for distributing part Of the
enormous quantities bought.
In textile goods the rush of orders
went far beyond all distributive de-
mand in August and represented great
replenishmcnt OF stocks and the
similar rush for goods has been cor
respondingly great in other lines dur
ing the past two months.
In iron and steel and in boots and
shoes there was actual danger Of a
speculative imitation of prices such as
was seen in 1895, but it has been
averted, apparently for this season,
by the solid sense of leading men who
regard time of comparative quiet
as essential to the coming and per
manence of prosperity in their lines
AS the buying for replenishment is
partly satisfied and diminlshes, there
is some decrease in the volume O
transactions, thought at the same time
the working force has further increas-
ed, the wages of labor have been ir
numerous cases advanced and the
foundation laid more broadly every
week for larger buying and business

Terrorized The Residents.
A Man Suddenly Becomes Insane In the
village at Long Pond.

Joseph Heimbach, White Haven
carpenter, created considerable excite
ment at Long Pond a few days ago
while suddenly crazed.
Heimbach is a brother OF landlord
Heimbach of Lond Pond and for
some time past he has been acting as
boss carpenter at the erection OF
some large ice houses at Stauffer's, on
the Wilkes Barre & Eastern Railroad.
On Wednesday he left work suddenly
and walked over to Long Pond,
where he is we'll known. On arriving
at the village he commenced to talk
quite wildly on religious matters.
Heimbach was pacihed somewhat,
but insisted on visiting a resident
named Peter Knecht. Knecht was
sick in bed and all attempts to pre-
vent Heimbach from seeing him were
without success. He managed to get
to the sick mans bedside and then
taking some bottles of wine from his
pockets placed the contents in basin
and proceeded to wash Knecht's feet
and legs in order "to drive out the
devils"
After performing this peculiar act
Heimbach LETT the village. The next
day he returned armed with gun.
He was more violent than the prevl-
GUS day and the residents became
greatly alarmed. Heimbach shouted
that he had to kill several of the
people in the town on account o.
s'the DEVILS" and shot promiscuously
dozen times. No one was hurt.
Several men attempted to arres
the madman, but re-loading his CUR

A Cou ntry Editor.

Verify the life of q country editor is q path of thorns.
 His bread is promises and his meat disappointment.
 His creditors chase him by dax and tie devil prinneth at him in his dreams hy night.
 One subscription is wood. and behold t is rotten and soggy, and of short measure.
 He whoopeth up the country poli- tieian. who gefs elected and knoweth him no more.
 de pnffeth up the church fair gratis and then attendeth and payeth his quarter and receiveth two oysters.
 He -boometh his town aud all things therein and yet receiveth no support, and is a prophet without honor i'll his own country.
 The young people marry and he giyeth them great puff; they go to housekeeping and teketh not his paper.
 Yes, he is bound down with woe and his days are full of grief and trouble and vtxation of spirit.
 But sorrow endureth for a night and joy cometh in the morning
 He ploddeth along and and en- dnreth in patience and it is written that he will receive his reward at the judgment.
 And we believe it.-Bonham Re view.
