SOCIAL GAIETY.-Never in the history of
our town has there been such social activity.
Our reputation for entertaining and culture
has been heralded abroad. and the result has
been that this summer our town has been
turned over to strangers, both visitors and
boardels. In order to preserve the fame we
have earned it has kept us lively, and scarcely
does an evening pass but there are social
gatherings of some sort, and not only the
evenings but the days also afford their pleas
ules, giving opportunity to visit the noun
tain lcokouts, take lunches at romance in
spring places, and visit the points of interest
and delight 80 lavshly bestowed upon us by
Dame Nature. Musicales, moonlight walks,
straw rides. parties, lawn socials, calls, etc.,
are what We participate in almost nightly,
and while it keeps our young people con-
stantly engaged, the pleasure and profit
derived therefrom more than repays the
sacrifice of time and trouble. As for our
young ladies', of course they are prepared for
this social overflow, just as they are for any
thing which merits praise. But the young
men, almost all of whom had determined to
lead bachelor live and had already sunk into
obscurity, have come forth as bright lumlna-
ries, and polished up their Shakespeare,
Emerson, Browning ETC., in order to please
the literary inclined, while Byron and Ten
nyson have been studied with the intention
of fascinating those sentimentally endowed;
the Numerous periodicals afford material for
those who enjoy looking on the comic side
of life and nearly every one has learned the
intrcacies of the musical world, and even
some are studying Moore, in the hope that

CHARGED WITH uxoncIDE.
The Body Alleged to Have Been
Burned to Hide the Crime.

Burned to Hide the Crime.
Chicago, ILL.,, May u.-Adolph Luetgert.
a wen known sausage manufacturer, was
arrested this afternoon on the charge of
having murdered his wife.
The police claim to have direct evidence
that Luetgert killed his wife in the base
ment of his sausage factory on Diversity
street and her body was destroyed with
the object of hiding all traces of the
crime The police win show they say,
that Luetgert persuaded his wife 10 ac-
company him TO his sausage factory on
the evening of May /; that upon getting
her into the building he choked her TO
death or into insensibility; that he then
threw her into vat containing powerful
acid. and completed his work by cast
ing the body into an in
tense fire. This is the direct charge
against the prisoner.
The main evidence in support of 1t are
two gold rings which belonged to Mrs.
Luetgert, and which were found by the
police in a vat in the sausage factory. One
of the rings found in the vat was the
wedding ring of Mrs. Luetgert. On the
day following Luetgert failed in business
and the sheriff took possession. Luetgert
endeavored time and again to gain adms-
sion to the factory, but they refused him
admission. The ponce claim that ne ue-
sired to get into the place for the purpose
of removing all traces of the crime.
He did attempt to clean out the vat in
which the rings were found, but the escape
pipe was a few inches above the bottom
of the tank and the rings sank to the bot
tom below the level of the pipe. The police
believe that there win be no trouble to
convict Luetgert of two or three other
murders of women. His object in making
way with his wife is said to be desire to
be free to enjoy the company of other wo-
men.
