The engine, express car, the com bination baggage and smoking car, one day coach and three sleepers plunged in- to the Hudson river, and twenty lives were lost.

Chicago, Oct. Z. - 1t was generally
conceded that Wednesday was the dull
est day in the Luetgert murder trial.
Between $3.50 and IL o'clock the state
called is witnesses in rebuttal of the
evidence offered by the defense, and al
though none of them were on the stand
long their direct cross-examiuation
proved very tedious. Eight witnesses
were called to throw grave doubt on the
veracity of Matthew Scholey, who was
summoned by the defense to testify
that he saw Mrs. Luetgert alive and
we'll May at Kenosha. The eight men
claimed to know Scholey welland cheer
fully swore that they would not be-
lieve him under oath. Five of the other
seven witnesses attempted to impeach
the evidence of Rosa Gleich, who was
called by the defense TO impeach the
testimony Of the Schin,pke girls, that
they saw Luetgert and his wife enter
the factory the night of May1. The vari-
Gus contradictions recorded on this
point were already confusing, but the
cross and rccross stories told Wednes-
day only served 10 completely befuddle
the minds of all concerned as to which
witness is to be believed. The attorneys
on both sides admit they ure at sea

They arrived by train which came
from West Point at s:45 p. m. Mrs.
Rivinius appeared to be about 40 years
cid. The children were two boys, one
about IL and the other about seven, and
two girls, about 10 and seven years old.
The victims Of the terrible tragedy
were the wife and children of Robert
Kivnius (not Rizinius) an enlisted man
in the United States army at West Point.
Rivinius is a aprinter in the admins

The Lafayette, Famous Mlnnetonka
Resort, in Ashes.
Minneapolis, Mimi, Oct. 8. - The
Hotel Lafayette, Minnetonka's most
famous hostelry, is smouldering ruin.
Fire was discovered in the laundry Mon.
day morning at II o'clock. Within an
incredibly short space of time the huge
structure was mass Of flames. In
just 40 minutes the flames had eaten
their way to the main structure. The
wind was blowing towards Crystal bay,
but the fire made steady progress
against it. The building was like tim
der and in less than half an hour the
entire main building was in ashes.
There seems to be small chance that the
hotel will be rebuilt. 1t may be re.
placed by clubhouse, but the Great
Northern road, its owner, will probably
not be connected with similar venture
again. The chances are that it would
have been torn down any way. The La
fayette was built in 1850 and finished
In 1882. and every year since has been a
resort for prominent people from all
parts of the country. 1t was the larg-
est summer resort house in the west,
being 74t feet long, IS feet wide, and 90
feet high. The total area of floors in
the building amount to 3h acres OF
five acres including the kitchen, laun-
dry and servants quarters, which were
all detached from the main building.
There were 800 bedrooms, and the halls
were IL feet wide, extending the en-
tire length Of the building. No figures
have yet been given out as to the
amount of the loss
