MONETARY COMMISSION AT WORK
Sub Committees Will Be Named Next
Week and a Programme Mapped Out

WASHINGTON, Sept a. 1S97.-The
Monetary Commission resumed it's ses-
sion here today. 1t is expected that an
adjournment until Monday will be taken
at the close of today's session. and that
when the commission resumes work next
week there will be a full attendance of
members, and such an advance made in
preliminary arrangements that the sub
committees can be announced and their
work begun. 1t is understood that Presi-
dent Edmunds has selected the commit
tees, but as several of the gentlemen
want changes OF assignments the list will
not be made public until finally arranged.
There will be three main committees,
namely, on gold and silver; on United
States notes, and on banking and cur
reney The adjournment will give the
members an opportunity to attend to pri-
yate affairs, most all of them being busi-
ness men having large private interests.
The discussion has brought out, how
ever, that the members feel that their
personal attendance at the sessions of the
commission and of the subcommittee
is cssentian to accomplish the work be-
fore them during the next ninety days
and for this reason they will be present,
the meetings as far as possible, instead
of leaving the work to be shaped while
they are widely scattered. The morning
session was confined to a general dis
cussion of lines of work

OUR GROWING NAVY.
State OF the Work on Torpedo Boats
and Eattleshfps.

WASHINGTON, Sept. "a, 1S97.-Accord-
ing to reports received at the Navy De-
partment from the various ship yards
where naval work is in progress, with the
exception of four torpedo boats last or
dered, good headway is being made with
the ships under construction.
These four boats are distributed among
the Herreshoffs, Harlan & Hollingsworth,
Wolff & Zwicker and the Gas Engine and
Power Company and while the actual
work of construction upon them has not
begun, much has been done in the gather
ing of material to start the work.
OF the big ships, the Battleships Kear-
sarge and Kentucky at Newport News,
are Al per cent advanced towards COM
pletion. The battleships Illinois, Alabama
and Wisconsin, were ordered later, and
they are not SO well along, the figures
being 20 per cent. for the Illinois at New
port News, q per cent. for the Alabama
at Cramps and IA per cent. for the Wis
consin at MON Iron Works.
Only one gunboat is now being built,
namely, the Princeton, at Dialogues, in
Camden, and this is 80 per cent. advanced
towards the end. The queer submarine
boat, the Plunger, being built at the
Columbian Iron Works, is going on slow
ly, probably because the plans are en-
tirely novel; and the work is more or
less experimental.
is as follows:-Rodgers, 80 per cent;
Winslow, 81 per cent; Rowan, 50 per
cent; Dahlgren. per cent; Craven 4
per cent; Farragut, per cent; Davis, 81
per cent; Gwin, 40 per cent; Mackenzie,

Questionable IdentifieatSons of a
Vague w WOman-W eakling WItnesses.


Vague w Woman-W eakIing Witnesses.
CHICAGO, Sept. "a, 1S97-The defence in
the Luetgert trial this morning devoted
itself to Strengthening the story that Mrs.
Louis Luetgert, who, according to the
theory of the prosecution was murdered
May l. had been seen in around Kenosl1a
Wis, on May 8, and 5. Two witnesses
one of whom had known Mrs. Luetgert
for seven years, positively identified a
photograph of Mrs. Luetgert as the pic
ture of the woman they saw at Kenosha
on the dates mentioned.
Mrs. Matte Scherer, Miss Maud Scherer
and Miss Gertrude Miller testified this
morning that Emma Schimpke since she
had testified for the prosecution had said
in their hearing that her evidence was en-
tirely false. She said the only reason
she testified falsely was to support the
evidence of her sister Gottlieba, who had
at first lied.
Frank Schlebe, a farmer who lives near
Kenosha, Wis, who had known Mrs.
Luetgert for seven years, testified that
he met her ON a country road near that
town on May 4. He said he did not rec
ognize the woman, but he was attracted
by her worn and generally exhausted ap-
pearance. Afterward when he learned
that Mrs. Luetgert was missing and
read a description of the clothing she
wore when she disappeared he was con-
fident he had seen her and that the
strange woman he met on the road was
she.
Policeman VIM. Smith, of Kenosha, told
of seeing a strange woman at the north
western depot in Kenosha at two o'clock
on the morning of May 5. He positively
identified the photograph of Mrs. Luet-
gert as the woman he saw at the depot.
The policeman described the woman and
her attire

MRS. LANGTRY's NEW HUSBAND
Jersey Lily VIII Wed Prince Ester
haZy In November.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. "a, 1S97.-The
announcement that Mrs. Lilly Langtry
will marry Prince EsterhaZy is confirmed
Attorney Henry c. McPike, of this city,
is authority for the announcement which
is to be taken in connection with the
statements persistently and repeatedly
published since she secured her divorce
in May last as to Mrs. Langtry's pros
pective marriage to this distinguished
head of an ancient house.
Il have recently received" said Mr.. Nc
Pike, from my client, Mrs. Langtry,
notice of her intention to return to
California by the end of November.
Prince Esterhazy will accompany her, and
Immediately upon their arrival here they
will be married, in Lake county, l pre-
sumo, for her home is there.
Because they have preferred to be
married in this State, it must not be
argued that either Mrs. Langtry or
Prince Esterhazy regards the formers
divorce as lacking in legality in any other
jurisdiction. On the contrary, they are
advised by their solicitors in London that
the decree granted at Lakeport has freed
her absolutely from Edward Langtry, so
that she may marry in any part of the
world If she choose

SUED THE C0uS4ADLES
Hyman Mareuse Wants Dam
ages for Resisting the Ser
vice of a Writ.

Judge Bedle and a jury were employed
in the First District Court all day yes
terday afternoon and the greater part of
this morning with the case of Hyman
Marcuse, of No. 322 Washington street,
Hoboken, who, through Lawyer William
Skinner instituted suit for 5000 damages
against Constables Daniel Mccarthy of
Hoboken and Thomas Wright of Wee
hawken, for alleged injuries inflicted by
them. The two constables were repre-
sented by Lawyers Joseph Smith and
Horace Allen.
The evidence was that on July last
Constable Mccarthy went to the store of
Lyman Marcuse TO execute a writ of
attachment against Rosalie Marcuse, in
whose name the property is held. He
took Constable Wright along as a free
holder to appraise the goods. The con-
stables were accompanied by Hugo Fried
enthal, VINO had secured the judgment,
which amounted to $9S and some cents,
and "a friend of his named Levy. Nc
Carthy entered the store and was met by
Marcuse, who as soon as he learned the
errand of the constable, became abusive
and ordered him out of the place. Nc
Carthy told Levy to get truck in which
to remove the goods. Marcuse, when he
heard this order, jumped for the door and
tried to lock it. Mccarthy prevented it
by interposing his body between the door
and the jamb Marcuse attempted to
drag him away and assaulted him. Con-
stable Mccarthy is a much smaller man
than the latter. He was getting the
worst of the struggle when he called
upon Constable Wright for assistance.
Wright seized Marcuse by the shoulders
and attempted to pull him off Mccarthy.
Marcuse was clad only in his undershirt
and pair CT trousers and his body was
covered with perspiration, making it i'm
possible for Wright to hold him for any
length of time.
Seeing that he could not hold him by
ordinary means Wright placed nippers
on his right wrist. Marcuse struggled
so hard that he broke the nippers. Wright
then secured him by twisting the thong
several neighbors, including Herman
Meckler and his wife, had come in. Mrs.
Marcuse also appeared on the scene and
advised her husband to submit to the
officer When quiet had been restored she
settled by giving Prudential a note, en-
dorsed by Meckler, for the amount of the
judgment.
Marcuse alleged that Constables Nc
Carthy and Wright dubbed him into sub
mission and that they lacerated his wrists
with the nipperS and otherwise maltreated
him so that he was laid up for two weeks
None of the witnesses he produced would
testify positively that either Mccarthy or
scribed, as substitute for the broken

ARIzoNA's NEW RAILROADS.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Sept. "a, 1877 Within
the past two weeks notice of intention to
construct three thousand miles of new
railways have been filed with the Terri
torial Secretary of Arizona. There are
thirty-one separate filings of almost as
many separate line of new railways.
The filings are made under a law passed
by the last Legislature to the effect that
all new railway lines on which active
work should be commenced within one
year from the passage of the act should
be exempted from all county, municipal
and Territorial taxation for a period of
fifteen years. This was known as the
bill to encourage railroads in Arizona and
its passage was bitterly opposed.
