PLEADING FOR LUETG ERT.
Counsel Makes an Impassioned Plea in
 His Clients Behalf.

Chicago, Oct. 1S.-The entire day in the Luetgert trial was taken up by At torney Phalen, who spoke for the de- fence. He made an impassioned plea for his client, accused the police of in- timidating the witnesses for the defence and denounced many of those who had appeared for the state as periurers. He declared that the chain of circumstan- tial evidence on which District Attor- ney Dineen had dwelt in his address to the jury was but fragmentary col lection of distorted facts.
 Adolf Luetgert shed tears this after noon when at the adjournment of court he took leave of his little sons. Early in the day Luetgert showed emotion and his eyes were moist as Attorney Phelan pleaded with the jury. Luetgert is breaking down. This is the universal verdict of those who have known and watched the man during the two months of his trial. The strain upon him is great and his nervous system is weakening. The giant sausage maker does not sleep well nights. The attor- neys for the defence are inclined to sympathize with Luetgert and under took to-day to criticise Judge Tuthill for ordering the two small sons of the latter removed from the side of their father.

STATE PREPARATION OF LABOR.
Favors a Convention to Form Laboring
 Mans Political Party.


 The two sessions of the state branch of the American Federation of Labor were held yesterday. The greater part of the morning session was taken up in the discussion of the adoption of the resolution regarding the calling of a convention from the affiliated unions of the state next year.
 The object of this convention will be to organize a non-partisan party and place a ticket in the field which shall be entirely composed of laboring men. This resolution was finally adopted by a two-thirds vote. The date of the con- vention will be fixed by the executive council.
 At the annual convention of the American Federation held in Cincinna- ti last year, all affiliated unions in the United States were asked to dis cuss the matter of appealing to con- gress for a law restricting immigra- ton. This matter occupied considera- ble time in yesterdays convention.
 The delegates here are all very de- sious of having this subject of the re- striction of immigration presented to congress by the American Federation, as they are sanguine in the belief that an appeal coming from that body will have more effect than from almost any other organization.
 They are especially desirous of hav ing laws against cheap labor made very stringent.
 They say that the immigration of the They say that the immigration of the better element of labor does not need restriction, because they are very much in the minority.
 A committee to receive bids for the publication of the proceedings of this convention was appointed. It consists of A. Mckay, Thomas Crosby and J. P. Scottins
 The finance committee reported the books of the secretary and treasurer, Eli Brunell of Hartford, to be correctly kept and in good condition. The principal business of to-day's sessions will be the hearing of the re- ports of the various committees. The committee on constitution will report favorably on the amendment of several articles of the constitution It is stated that an attempt will be made to have the article regarding the non-interfer- ence by the unions as unions with the political questions stricken out entirely. Several of the delegates are officers in the Danbury Hat Makers and Fin ishers' union. They attended the quar- terly meeting there last night and will return this morning.

Torrington, Oct. 13.--What is believed to be the unfortunate sequel of love affair was made public to-day when the lifeless body of Herman Fincher was found to-day in the woods about two miles from the center of the town.

Fincher was about twenty-one years of age.

ARMY OF 5000 11NNIHILATED.
Of That Number of Abyssiniaus Only
 SiXty-Nine Escaped.


 London, Oct. 13.-Mr. J. Bennett Stan- ford who has just returned from taking part in an expedition to Somaliland brings news of the annihilation, at the end of June, of an Abyssinan army of three thousand men under the famous General Ras Mackonnen, of which number only sixty-nine men escaped. MT. Stanford to representative. of the Associated Press to-day said:
 While in the interior we came across powerful Somali chief, who had just returned from the fight. He told me that the Abyssinian force had been raiding down the Webbe-S -Shebeyli river nearly as far as the forty-f1fth parallel The Somalis then overwhelmed them with large numbers, allowing sixty men to go back with the news of the de- feat. Ras Mackonnen was killed dur ing the battle.
 The affair occurred about one hum dred miles from where we were. The whole neighborhood is still greatly ex- cited and the possession of the Italian rifles by the Somalis is evidence that the story told of the Abyssinian defeat is true.
 "The latest news from Harrar was that an Abyssinian army was being dispatched against the Somalis, who were eagerly anticipating another fight"
 In regard to the reported massacre of the Cavendish expedition MT Stan- ford said: There are no expeditions in Somaliland to massacre. Peel, who was with me, is away to the south; Lord Delamere is near Lake Rudolph. Major Macdonald is on the trade route toward Sundanga when I last heard of him ''

 cealed-A Number of New Cases-A Doc
 tor and Several Prominent Men Fall
 Victims-Death in Isolation Hospital.
 New Orleans, Oct. 13.-This was the record smasher in the number of deaths in single day from yellow fever since the sickness was first reported in New except in the fact that concealment neglect and rebellion against the au- thority of the board of health have made it difficult for the physicians to give proper attention to cases.
 At o'clock this evening there have been nine fatalities reported during the tWenty-four hours Heretofore the highest number of deaths in any one day has been six. Two deaths occur red to-day in the Infourna infirmary.
 A death was reported in the isolation hospital.
 Among the new cases the most prom inent is that of Hunter c. Leake, gen. eral agent of the Illinois Central rail- road. Mrs. Leake was stricken two days ago, and her husband must have taken the disease from close attendance upon her.
 pr. Spruell is also among the cases reported. Three cases in the last re- port of the day developed in the Char ity hospital, one coming from Algiers and the other two from the lower sec ton of the city. All three were remov- ed to the isolation hospital.

TIC FRS WON 34 TO o.
But the Pennsylvania State College Team
 Made Them Hustle.

Made Them Hustle. Princeton, N. J., Oct. 13.-For ten minutes of the first half of the game between the Tigers and the Pennsyl- vania State college on the Varsity grid iron this afternoon every indication pointed to a repetition of last years game with Lafayette when Princeton could not score. The men from central Pennsylvania were giants when com- pared with the Varsity in height and weight and played splendidly for ten minutes, twice nearly making touch downs on fumbles by the Tigers and downing the Varsity backs time and again with no gain.
 But the Tigers superior training told and after the first ten minutes Prince ton was able to score. Throughout the game the state college gave Princeton the hardest practice of the fall and the full strength of the Tigers was needed. The Varsity team work was poor and fumbling was frequent. Both teams tried goals from field without effect. The game ended with a score of 34 to y ', Brainard and Ayres. The feature was sensational 105-yard run by Barnard for a touchdown. Shaw and Curtin played superbly for the state. The lineup follows:

Crimson Played In Good Form Against Amherst, Winning by q Score of 3S to O. The Tigers Scored 20 Points Against Pennsylvania State College Team-U. of P.Team Was Not Scored Against.

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 1S.-The liar ward Varsity eleven played in encour- aging form this afternoon by defeating Amherst 3S-0. The home team showed plainly the good effects of the practice of the last few days in fast snappy, offensive work and stronger interfer- ence. Harvard had the game all her own way, but in the first half narrowly escaped being scored against through a blocked kick by Amherst. The latter got the ball only thirty yards from Harvard's goal and with all the energy it was capable forced back the Crimson line directly under it's goal to it's five yard line. There Amherst lost the ball on downs and it was punted out of dan ger.
 Harvard's offensive play, especially in the second half, was fast and precise. Its defensive was strong except at cen ter, where Burden was who is Rou- cett's substitute. The great work of the day was done by Dibblee, who made several sensational runs, one of 55 yards, demonstrating his phenomenal powers of lodging and headwork in keeping behind his interference.
 In the first half Harvard played a bunting game and in the second rushed the ball with irresistible power. The lineup and summary:

mltted by four Kenosha toughs in the
gbborhood Of Pikeville at the resi-
dence Of a farmer named James Coon.
Coon is bachelor and had been living
alone with bachelor companion for
several years until last Monday when.

several revolvers near the house Get
ting up and going into the hall they
found that several shots had been fired
through the front door. A moment
later the door was broken in and four

house and drawing revolvers ordered
the old men to throw up their hands.
When they complied with this request
one of the men went through the
pockets Of the two men and
finding only 81, the men became fur
ious and demanded that they should
be given the 5000 that Coon had re-
ceived for his farm. The old man told
the robbers that heshad deposited the
money in the bank at Antioch How
ever this did not satisfy the would be
robbers AMI they bound the two men
and made a careful search of the house.
Not finding the money, they subjected
the men to all sorts of indecencies and
left the house. Coon and his compan-
ion think that they recognized the men

tigating it. The men are said to be
Well known about town and are old
