The Juror Improving

Chicago, September 14.-Juror J..
Fowler, whose illness yesterday cause-
an adjournment Of the Luetgert MUIR
der trial until Wednesday, was much
improved today and will, his physician
says, be able to attend tOmOrroW's ses-
sion. Luetgert spent a quiet day in
jail, receiving few callers, but being
apparently in the best of humor.
When court opens tomorrow Profess
sor George Vincent Bailey will be re-
called for further cross-examinatiOn by
Attorney Vincent. When the defense
has completed the cross-examination of
Professor Bailey the prosecution will
call Frank Bialk and Frank Odorofsky
to establish the motive for the alleged
murder of Mrs. Luetgert. These two
witnesses, both former employees or
Luetgert, will testify Is to frequent
quarrels between the sausage-maker
and his wife because Of Luetgerts at
tentions to Mary Siemmering, the SER
want in the Luetgert household. The
prosecution is impressed with the be-
lief that Luetgert's infatuatiOn for
Mary Siemmering vas the principal i'm
pulse which actuated him with desire
to get rid of his wife. Bialk and Odor-
ofsky, who were daily observers of the
domestic episodes Of the Luetgert fam
lily, are expected to relate some inter-
esting particulars.

Pittsburg, September IA. large
number of mines in the district started
today and a still larger number will be
in working order in the morning. At
least 5000 of the rail miners will be at
work by Wednesday evening and quite
a number of river diggers will also re-
sumo.
President Pat Dolan today met the
men Of h Wheeling division at Fin
leyville. He made a speech to 1900 of
them at the Hacket mine. He did not
commit himself to the men, as he had
done to the operators, as to h ten
day clause, but as a result they unani-
mously agreed to start to work tomor-
row.
The Pittsburg and Chicago Gas Coal
Company, which owns the mines at
CatOnsville, SnOwden and the First
Pool, has had men at work below the
rate. They have been told that they
will now get the same rate as paid in
the other mines Of the division and will
also start work at once. This makes
uniformity all along the Wheeling di-
vision. Everything is in an uproar
there. The operators are wiring for
cars and they "a men-an the men
they can get-at IS cents. j. E.. Boyle,
of the Hackett mine, says his mine
will be worked full in the morning. The
Keeling CUal Company mine, at Licks,
Run, was working yesterday, and six
cars OF coal were gotten out. This is
the first break owe the ten-day clause
in any considerable numbers. and Do
Ian did not object. DOlan left for Nc
Donald and Cecil, where he had a meet
ing with a committee of the men in
that field tonight.
Little has yet been done in the Pan
Handle district in coal mining. The
miners are waiting until after the con-
vent1on to be held tomorrow. Although
the majority seem to be in favor of not
countenancing the ten-day claus of the
Columbus convention, all are not.
There is liable to be a lively fight over
the breaking of the ten-day clause
when the matter comes UP before the
convention.

A Negro Postmaster at FAIR Bluff
Correspondence of The Messenger.)
Fair RlIM Sentemher 1:

otdA, OSPlCAlOCI d
The quiet little town of Fair Bluff is
right much stirred up on account of the
recent appointment of Oliver Lenno
cOlOred, as postmaster. 1t was, of course,
expected that a republican would be ap-
pointed, but why a negro, who lives in
another township should nave received
the appointment, when white republicans
who live in the town had applied for the
position, is hard for some people to
understand. 1t is said that ]. D.. Maults-
by, senator from R0beson and
counties and chairman Of the republican
popuIiSt executive committee, is RESPONSE
bic for the appointment. Dur people are
justly indignant, and were not prepared to
believe that u county had in it's
borders any white man. who laid any
claim to decency and self respect. who
would stOop so low as to prefer a negro to
a white man.
If he felt duty bound to reward his
brother in black for the service he had
rendered him, why did he not appoint
him postmaster at Whiteville, Senator
Maultsby's own town? He has shown
himself unworthy the condence Of the peo-
pie and incapable of representing their
interest. He has been a traitor to his
race, and like Benedict Arnold, deserves
the everlasting, contempt of her fellow
countrymen. Let every self respecting
white man who loves his home and his
country, regardless of party affiliations in
the past, rise up in the power of his man.
hood and resolve that Car MauItsby
shall never again rule over our people.
l hope the democratic papers in the state
will note this case

Miners Stoned by Strikers.

Pittsburg, Pa, September 14.-The
Darr mine, on the Youghiogheny river,
operated by Osborne & Saeger, of
Cleveland, Ohio, was the scene OF a
today which will probably result
in the death Of at least one man. The
machine miners started to work on
Monday, and today a mob of diggers,
who were opposed to the men working,
gathered at the pit to give the workers
a hot reception when they came out of
the mine. AS the miners began coming
out they were stoned back into the pit
and several shots were fired into the
pit mouth after the retreating men.
One man, whose name cannot be learn
ed, more daring than the rest, ventured
into the open, and "a stoned unmerci-
fully. He will probably die from the eff
fects of the abuse.

About a week ago DR.. Anderson, Sec
rotary of the c~oropration, admitted
that he had received a letter from DR..
Andrews renewing his resignation.
This was believed to be an answer to
the request that body made at its
meeting September 7st, requesting DR..
Andrews to withdraw his resignation.
Secretary Anderson announced that he
would issue a notice Tor a meeting for
a time which seemed most convenient
for the purpose of electing a new pres
Ddent, or a temporary sone.
This was taken to mean that DIR. An

Washington, September 1.-THE bat
tleship Texas has been ordered to sail
from Hampton Roads for the New
York navy yard to be locked on the
10Th instant. Acting Secretary Roose-
welt has ordered that on the way north
the big twelve inch rifles in both tur-
rets be fired across the deck of the
ship. This never has been done, and
Mr.. Roosevelt regards it as an ex-
pertinent to settle at once all doubt
that may exist as to the ability of the
ship to resist this severe strain, which
is one that may be imposed in battle.
The x turrets are arranged dag
onally with the purpose Of enabling all
OF the guns to be fired either fore and
after. or across the deck. The fore and

but the Tea Of starting the decks has
caused the delay in testing the cross
fire. MI. Roosevelt will not be at all

A CABINET MEETING.
GREAT INTEREST ATTACHED TO
YES rERDAY'S MEETING.

All the Cabinet Of5icers Present Save One-
Each Minister Has Matter Of importance
to Lay Before tho President-The Cuban
Question Not Discussed Question Of
Furnishing Food for the Destitute in
Alaska the Coming Winter.
Washington, September 14-Great inter-
est attached to the cabinet meeting today
on account of the various important ques-
lions which are pending and the fact that
it was the first meeting for some weeks.
Every member of the cabinet, except
Secretary Long, who is out of the city,
reached the White house promptly at IL
o'clock, and each had with him an un-
usually large number Of papers and docu-
ments relating to matters pending in his
department.
The early part Of the session was de-
voted to the consideration of the Union
Pacific question, presumably the advisa-
bility of taking an appeal from the de-
cree of the United States court at Omaha
for the sale Of the property under the
foreclosure proceedings. The civil service
decision in the Wood case and it's effect
on the law was also informally talked
over. Neither the decision on discrimi-
mating section %. Of the tariff act, nor
the Cuban or Hawaiian questions were
mentioned at the meeting.
Though there was a very full discussion
of the Union Pacific railroad matter, it is
learned that no decision was reached as
to the course to be pursued by the govern
ment. and il is presumed that no an
nouncement will be made regarding 1t
until a definite conclusion is reached.
Secretary Alger brought up the Klon-
dyke rush and adverted to the probable
necessity of the relief measures for the
benefit of Americans who have rushed
heedlessly into the gold fields, but the dis
cussion of this matter was very informal
and fruitless Of results. Secretary Alger
laid before the cabinet several kilograms
urging relief for stricken prospectors, In
Guiding one from the citizens committee
of Tacoma, representing that distress ex-
listed already at Dawson City, stating
that starvation had begun and praying
that a revenue cutter be sent with sup
plies to st. Michaels and chances taken
on getting the supplies to those in need or
them. The discussion made 1t evident
that the cabinet was not quite clear that
the government authorities had warrant
of law for furnishing supplies, but Secre-
tary Alger telegraphed to Senator Perkins
of California, who is interested in a line
to Alaska, asking him If he would under
take to deliver a ship load of supplies at
St. Michaels, If it be found that the law
will not permit the government to send
supplies then relief will be furnished by
private persons in order that a horror
may not grow out of the rush for gold.
Some consideration also was given to the
p~racticability of getting supplies in by
way Of a projected winter trail via Dyea.

A Southern Delegation Before the Com
Acknowledgements Facts Set Great
Encouragement Received
Washington. September ia delega-
ton of representative men from the large
iron sections of the south today went be-
fore the naval board. which is considering
the question of establishing a government
armor factory, and urged that the south
offered the greatest advantages in cost
of ire, labor, transportation, ETC., for the
location of the proposed government
armor plate factory. The delegation was
Clay Evans, of Tennessee and Represent
atives Wheeler Of Alabama; Livingston of
Georgia, and Gaines, OF Tennessee. 1t
was stated at the hearing that the iron
used by the large private concerns now
making armor plate was bought to a
great extent from the south at the low
price of $40 to $50 per ton. 1t was
argued also, that an inland armor fac
tory in the south would be more secure
from attack in case of war than one near
the Atlantic coast in the north. Letters
favorable to the southern industry were
presented from Senators Plat, of New
stated that Senator Chandler, of New
Hampshire, who has taken a leading part
in the plan Of a government factory. had
written a letter favorable to it's establish
HeHl dt SneIIlelO, Ala. Inc delegation
filed a written statement setting forth the
many advantages Of the south in this
particular.
Commodore Howell, president of the
board, called attention to the fact tina
the board could not, under the instruc-
tons Of the navy department., go into the
question of the locality of the site.
Representative Livingston and others
made the point that such information was
what congress- desired and that the scope
Of the boards orders should be enlarged.
Accordingly, the delegation, accompanied
by Commodore Howell, went before AS
sistant Secretary Roosevelt.
Representative Gains said after the
hearing was over: Mr.. Roosevelt gave
us decided encouragement. He said to
Commodore Howell that he wished the
arnfor board to visit the iron producing
sections Of the south. He also said he
would recommend to Secretary Long that
the powers of the board be broadened so
that they cold investigate and report on
sites for a plant in addition to their pres
ent duties. Commodore Howell, suggest
ed that it would be impracticable Just
now to interrupt the work of compilation,
in which the board was now engaged, but
said that they would undertake a trip
south when the work in hand was COM
pleted."
