AWFUL BUNDLE OF
BLOOD And BONE.
A GruesOme Piece of Evidence In
trOduced in Luetgert
Case.
NOW LOOKING FOR THE PIECES.
LuetgertS Experts Watch the States Ex-
perts- Yesterday's Proceedings
at the Trial.

Chicago, Sept. 10.-Shortly before
the Luetgert trial opened today two
muscular officers brought in a dry
goods box, with its gruesome contents
of bone, flesh, slime and reeking can
vas. by examination of which expert
witnesses for the state establish the
possibility and facts of human body
having been dlsintegrated in the long
wooden vat in the basement of the
sausage factory. At $50 Luetgert
entered the courtroom, closely fol-
lowed by the judge and jury, By the
side of the prisoner were his son, Ar
mold, William Charles, his friend, and
several expert chemists, who will as
sist Attorney Vincent in crossexam-
lining the expert witnesses.
Prof. Delfontaine, whose examina-
tion began yesterday, was the first
witness placed on the stand by the
state. The witness identified several
bits of bone which he had received
from Inspector Setback, asserting
that the PARTICLES were taken from the
slime which was designated by being
residue sluice leading from the vat.
The witness positively identified the
bits of bone as human, asserting that
they were portions of joints from the
fingers and toes. This was one of the
most important facts which the state
expected to establish.

Mrs. LOrrient, of Tampa, Took
Rough on Rats for
Troubles.
HER HUSBAND Was MURDERED.
The Widow Became DespOndent and Killed
Herself-Three Orphans
Left.

Tampa, Fla, Sept. 10.-Mrs. Cor
nella Lorrient died this morning from
the effects of dose of trough on
rats" taken with suicidal intent.
Mrs. Lorrient was a comparatively
young woman, of handsome and COM
manding appearance. About four
years ago her husband, who was
Greek, was killed, and Tom Swayne
was tried for the murder and con-
victed. He was given a life sentence
but escaped from Jail. In attempting
his capture, Tillett Whidden, man
now famous in the criminal annals of
the state, killed Swayne.
For number of years Mrs. Lor-
rient has lived in the Garrison, and
has conducted small dairy. 1t is be-
lieved that she became despondent and
decided to end her life, leaving three
little children, two boys and one girl,
to fight their way alone in the world.
The oldest child is only years old.
She. took the deadly poison last
night and her condition was discov-
cred and physician summoned to her
bedside. His efforts to relieve her
were successful and he left her all
right, but it seems that later she took
another dose and died this morning
about o'clock.

Ocean Springs Calls for Relief From the Out
side WOrld-NO Ice, No
Drugs.

New Orleans, Sept. 10.-DisDatches
from Biloxi this morning say that the
trouble that is becoming unbearable
is the fact that drug stores are run
ming out of medicines and no freights
have been received. President Lemon
of the Biloxi board has wired Presi-
dent Oliphant urging him, in behalf of
humanity, TO see that the request for
drugs is attended to. There are no
new developments at Biloxi this morn
ing and all prevailing cases of fever
are reported convaescing. Ocean
Springs reports one new case and
some suspicious cases this morning,
but no deaths have occurred since that
of Seymour, reported yesterday. At
10 O'Clock today DR.. Oliphant of the
board of health announced that twelve
cases reported last night on st. Cloud
street in New Orleans were still sus-
plcious. They are closely watched for
further developments. The board has
quarantined the square in which they
exist.
One of the suspicious cases reported
ON st. Claude street died this morn
ing.
Later-A death certificate has just
been brought to the board of health
of the death of John R. Williams, of
Clouet and st. Claude streets, of con-
gestion of the brain due to alcoholism.
News of fever death has not been ab-
solutely confirmed. Doctors have gone
to the neighborhood,
The officials have just returned from
the block In which twelve suspicious
cases were reported last night, and
declare that none of the patients has
died. Of the twelve cases two are
considered very sick. The officials are
yet unable to say what the fever in the
ighborhood is. Meantime no pre-
caution is overlooked to confine the
disease.
Ocean Springs, Miss, has issued an
appeal for help, and any contributions
of money or provisions will be thank
fully received and acknowledged.
There are twentV-eight families in
distress and the citizens have already
been taxed beyond their resources.
Everything in the way of relief should
be sent to President r. A. Vancleve of
the board of health.

FOUR HOUSES BURNED.
about 6 o'clock

There Was No Water, All Surrounding
POrperty Was at the Mercy of the Flames.
Four frame dwelling-houses on Lee
street, near the corner of L street,
were. totally destroyed by fire yester-
day morning between and 8 O'Clock.
But for the hard work of the fire.
men, the flames would undoubtedly
have been communicated to the ad-
joining houses, aud the whole locality,
which is thick with similar buildings,
swept.
The tiremen had to do their work
without water. The stream which
flowed from the neighboring hydrant
was barely strong enough to creep
through the hose, and was of no value
whatever in fighting the flames. Un-
der such disadvantages, it was iinpos-
sible to save either of the four houses.
The houses were the property of Mr..
J. j. Lissner, and were occupied by
negro tenants. Many of the house,
hold effects of the occupants were
saved. The occupants of the houses
in the neighborhood moved out their
belongings, and all the surrounding
open spaces were Uttered with furni-
ture, bedding, etc.
The absolute failure of the water
supply was very dangerous discre-
pancy, and ought to be investigated.
The houses were insured for $3.50
each, in companies represented by
Mr.. Fl. II. Harvey.

DR.. LeHardy Makes Comparison Of Two
Ports.
Savannah, Sept. 10. The health Off
Ger was greatly disappointed at the
failure of council to pass an ordinance
at Wednesdays meeting abolishing
quarantine fees for vessels. He had
hoped the ordinance would be abol-

benefit to shipping to have no fees
collected for quarantine services.
The doctor says comparison Of the
number of ships coming to Savannah
with those gong to Brunswick Will

Yellow Fever Refugees May Be Invited to

Chattanooga, Sept. 10.-City officials

cannot exist at that elevation and that
it would be the part of humanity to

The fleeing citizens could be taken
straight to the mountain without
change of cars. Several buildings for
their occupancy are available.

Mr.. NJ. Isaac's retirement as presi-
dent of the board of education, which
he positively declines to reconsider,
leaves place vacant that ought to be
filled by the city council with their

There was considerable discussion
yesterday anent the resignation of

The present board of education is
composed of the following gentlemen {:
j. L. Beach, Edwin Brobston, Fl. T.

day en- route to Jacksonville, will
spend the greater part of her time be-

Atlanta, Sept. 10.-Much excitement
prevails at Athens, the seat of the
University of Georgia, over the strange
performances of negro who rushes
upon and strikes ladies on the street
without any provocation.
Five ladies have been attacked in
this way in the last two days-three
Wednesday night and two last night.
Among the latter is the wife of Mr.. S.
G. McLendou, of Thomasville. All
these ladies give the same description
of the negro, but so far all efforts to
locate him have failed. Fifty armed
men searched the town last night and
today several hundred are out looking
for the mysterious assailant.
Between thirty and forty negroes
have been taken before the ladies who
we're struck, but none has proved to
be the guilty one. Tonight the police
force will be quadrupled and If the
negro repeats his performance he is
not likely to live long, as public in
dignation is at fever heat. Today the
ladies of the city are staying indoors,
being afraid to venture on the streets.

TRAINS COLLIDE,
TWENTY-FIVE dead,
A Terrible Accident Occurs on a
Colorado Rail
road.
THE DETAILS MOST APPALLING.
All the Killed Not Yet Passengers
Hemmed In-Worst on Record
in That State.

Newcastle, Col, Sept. l0.-The most
disastrous railroad wreck that has
happened in Colorado occurred at l2,15
o'clock this morning a mile and half
west of this town. The Denver and
Rio Grande passenger train No. l.,
westbound, collided with the Colorado
Midland stock train going east, wreck
ing both engines and several cars In
both trains. Shortly after the collis-
mail, baggage, and express cars, smok.
ers, day coaches, and tourist sleeper
were burned. A number of passengers
who were not killed outright, but who
were penned in the wreck and could
not be extricated, perished in the
flames. There were about 200 pas
sengers on board. 1t is estimated
that % were killed and as many more
bruised, scalded, and burned, of whom
six are likely to die.
The accident occurred at the worst
possible poiut. Two minutes was the
running time and they could have
avoided a wreck as each engineer
could have seen the approach of the
other train. The trains colided on
curve around the mountain and there
was no opportunity even to slack the
speed. The Rio Grande jupction road
on which the wreck occurred is a joint
track operated by the Denver and Rio
Grande and Colorado Midland, "
miles long from Newcastle to the
Grand junction, connecting the two
roads with the Rio Grande Western.
On the road west of the Grand river
nearly all the way are high bluffs on
one side of the track and stream on
the other, it being 20 feet below the
surface of the track.
Passengers in the day coach Jared
the worst. Out of 20 people in that
coach only six are known to have es-
capped. Engineer Ostrander went
down with his hands On the lever
Fireman Holland of the passenger
tram was so badly hurt that he died.
Engineer Gordon of the passenger
train may live, although badly jured.
Hines, the Midland fireman, was also
badly hurt that he cannot recover.
James keenan,, postal clerk, will not
live until noon, the doctors say.
Frank 2. Mannix, editor of the Victor
Record, was passenger on the Den
yer and Rio Grande train.
81 was in the smoker when the col
lislon happened" he said, land was
jammed down in a seat. l saw day
light on one side and managed to pull
myself out and with the help of Brake
man Daniels helped to pull three peo-
pie from the wreck. At the time of
the collision the tank under the engine
exploded and set fire to the train.
The scene was awful-mall, baggage,
smoker, day coach, and tourist sleeper
were burned. Only the rear Pullman
and private cars are remaining on the
track" Mannix IS Of the opinion
that 40 are dead and burned.
