Mr.. DeArmitt concluded by inviting
Uriah Dillingham;, leader of the strik-

RUINED CROPS
Seen Everywhere in IreIand-No Hope of

Seen Everywhere in Ireland-No Hope Of
Saving a Part of the Harvest.
London, September 9.-Lamentable
reports continue to pour into Ireland
Of the havoc already wrought ar Nng
the crops, and as the weather stln is
most unpropitious all hope of saving
the remnant of the harvest is fast fad
ing.
The English press is beginning now
to realize the situation, though it is
maintaining it's gravity.
The st. James Gazette says: "The
potato has failed everywhere, and there
is something to excuse the alarming
language of those who are beginning to
talk about a great famine, but distress
on that scale is no more likely than
another invasion of barbarians Yet,
there will be measure of suffering in
Ireland, real if less terrible than that
which the professional agitator is be-
ginning to predict"
THE professional agitator' has made
no prediction in the present instance.
The cry has come from the people all
over the country. English tourists are
writing to the press describing the
ruined harvests they have everywhere
seen.

also be the flesh Of an animal. The
bones he was sure were human bones,
but regarding the flesh he was very
guarded and careful ia his statements.
He will tomorrow morning be turned
over to the defense for cross-examina-
tion
At no time during the day did the
defendant display emotion, not even
when the big dry goods box with its
grewsome contents Of flesh and bone
was placed few feet from him near
the jury. He handled the gunny sacks
and inspected with curious glance the
bits of flesh and bone which were
passed gingerly from attorney to attor
ney, but at no time did his hand trem-
BILE or the look of ordinary interest
give way to palor or an averted
glance. Innocent or guilty, the YER
dict of all is that Luetgert is pos
sessed of more nerve than any other
man who has ever been tried for mur-
der within the precincts OF the Grim
inal Court building.
The attorneys for the defense con-
tinue in their confident attitude and
assert that their prisoner will be ac-
quilted, and they declare that when
he is free number of damage suits
are to be commenced. They intend
that those who have manufactured
evidence" as they put 1t, shall suffer
for the wrong which they say has been
done their client
The prosecution tomorrow will in
troduce evidence to prove that fully so
per cent. of the bones which have so
far been introduced into the trial are
those of dogs and sheep. Then it will
be shown that the remaining 10 per
cent. are human bones. 1t will go to
show that the dog and sheep bones
were taken from the place where the
bones were usually thrown. The hui
man bones, it will be shown, were
taken up from the street The prose-
cution will endeavor to show and
claims it will show that extra precau-
lions were taken to place the human
bones where they would not be readily
found.
The States attorney has in his pos
session what bears a close resem-
blance to chin bone-sockets of teeth
being plainly visible. 1t is doubtful,
however, whether the experts will de-
clare this to be the bone of a human
being.
In all probability the State will rest
its case tomorrow night.

Representatives in Germany of
American manufacturers and the
United States consuls in this country
have noticed lately great deal OF dis
honesty upon the part of German
manufacturers, especially at Chemn1tz,
Frankfort, Sonneburg and in the
Rhine districts. Consul Monaghan, of
Chemnitz, has just sent a report to
Washington giving the facts and
names, not only in regard to initiating
United States goods and patent In
fringements, and also regarding 1ncor-
rect invoices. Mr.. Parker, patent
lawyer of Chicago, has begun suits in
the German courts against a number
of the worst offenders. The faYorlte
method Of these dishonest German
manufacturers and dealers is to OBJ
tain first, by contract, the exclusive
representation Of valuable American
machines, and then secure specimens
of those machines Next they aban-
don all effort to sell any of them, but
instead they initiate them closely and
place machines in the market at two
thirds of the American price Some
of these manufacturers have even had
the boIdness to enter the counterfe1ted
articles, and even the American arti-
cles themselves, over at exhibitions
here and elsewhere. One case is re-
ported where some Bridgeport locks
