Chicago, Sept. 27.-One hundred wit

the Luetgert case when the prosecu-

nesses, men, women and children, are
expected to give testimony contra
dictory to that presented by the de-
fense-to impeach that evidence, and by
a preponderence of numbers sustain the
contentious of the lawyers who are ad-
vocating the conviction of the sausage
maker. Mary Simmering's reputation
will be attacked when the rebuttal wit
nesses are called. The story of Mat

Maple hotel, at Kenosha, is to be re-

at his hotel and asked FOR lodging.

WOODFORD
IN MADRID
Our Representative Quietly Received al
the Spanish Capitol,
He MAY BE SUMMONED HOME.
Should Spain Reject the Offers Of Media
tion Diplomatic Relations May be
Suspended Minister Woodford
Anticipates a Favorable
Solution.

Madrid, Sept 27.-The arrival OF
United States Minister Woodford from
San Sebastian has made a sensation.
The program Of the United States has
been ascertained. This does not con
template a declaration of war if Spain
rejects mediation, but, according to re-
port, an DESTINATIONS proclamation to
the world of disapproval of the Cuban
regime by suspending diplomatic re-
lations with Spain and withdrawing the
United States minister"
General WoOdford has declined to be
interviewed on the subject further than
to say that his conference with the
Duke of Tetuan, the foreign minister.
was of the most satisfactory character.
The unexpected bitterness of the press
and Of public opinion has painfully i'm
pressed him, but he hopes this will soon
be allayed, as he believes his mission
favorable to Spanish interests, and
cannot comprehend that Spain could
reject mediation designed to end an
impoverishing war. He has not named
time at which the war must be ter
minated, but he hopes, as the result of
his tenders, that it will be ended quick
ly. He believes the war is inhicting
incalculable losses upon the United
States, and that it is impossible to pre-
vent the organization of flibustering
expeditions.
Unusual measures were taken to pro-
tect Minister Woodford on his Journey
from San Sebastian to this city. but
the trip was quite uneventful. A party
of gendarmes commanded by a sub
lieutenant, guarded the southern ex-
press on which he was a passenger.
Secret police were posted at the station,
and the prefect Of police was in waiting
to escort him to his hotel The drive
through the streets was marked by no
special incident, though several people
saluted him, receiving a bow in return
Some comment has been caused by
the fact that Minister Woodford's 8
family has not accompanied him, but
remains behind the French frontier.
Minister Woodford explains that his
party is large one, requiring a COM
modious home, and prefers spending a
pleasant October at Biarritz until a
suitable residence can be secured here.
The legation cannot be used as a resi-
dence. General Woodford has already
engaged a box at the Royal Opera
House and has purchased horses.
The declaration is made here, and is
being generally circulated, that the
Spanish troops in Cuba have recap
tured Victoria de las Tunas, which was
taken by the insurgents under Calixto
Garcia and Jesus Rabi on Sept 5.

against Chief Burgess Tabor on the following
grounds: The constable states that on Satur-
day night one Anthony Petclfulis was ar
rested for assaulting Anthony Alex, the
special officer and threatening him with a

Petchulis could not furnish bail Gblon went
to the place to get the prisoner, but found he
had been released by the Chief Burgess with
out consulting the constable. Mr.. Giblon is
very much put about over the affair and
threatens to institute prosecution against the
Chief Burgess

No little surprise was oecasioned here
to-day by the announcement that Miss Ellen
J. Haley, daughter of Inside Foreman Haley,
of COnners' colliery and William Birming-
ham, son of Postmaster P. j. Birmingham,
of Girardville, were married at Philadelphia
on Wednesday evening last. 1t is said the
news was as surprising at Girardville as
elsewhere.
1t was learned to-day that Daniel Eisen-
hart, of Brownsville and Mrs Susan Fogle,
Of town, were married at the United
Evangelical parsonage, on East Oak street,
by Rev. 1. j. Reitz on the 18th inst. The
friends of the couple did not learn of the

ACCEPTED
The AlmshOuSe Affairs Are Running
Smoothly Once More.
SETTLED BY JUDGE BECHTEL
He Makes an Important Ruling, Deciding
That Furnishings For the Almsbouse
New Hospital Should Not Come
out Of the $4,000 Appro-
priation For Con-
struction.



PoTTsvILLE, Sept. 27-The problem in
connection with the almshouse new hospital
was solved this morning by a decision of
Judge Bechtel, modifying the Injunction Of
the Taxpayers Association and practically
allowing the new hospital to be put into use.
The Board Of Poor Directors were here on
saturday to meet the County Commissioners
with a view to arranging for the acceptance
OF and furnishing the new building. County
Commissioner Rentz was the only Com
missioner present, but was accompanied by
County Solicitor C. Il. Berger, who held out
hope that the court would probably take
some action in the premises to-day hence
there was quite an attendance of county
othcials at court this morning when Judge
Bechtel took his seat upon the bench
In making the order Judge Bechtel stated
that himself and Judge Pershing had agreed
that, under the Act Of Assembly governing
the $4,000 limited for the cost of completion
OF the new hospital, this amount only in
cludes the actual expense of construction
and not the furnishing.
S q. Schrink, of this place, has beds and
bedding on the ground valued at 81 700 and
these must be paid for at once. The Tax
payers Association will make no objection
to the payment.
Judge Beohtel stated further In his ruling
that all further supplies must be purchased
under the tenth section of the Controller
Act, which provides that all material costing
SlOO or more must be advertised for in the
manner indicated
The Board of Poor Directors accepted the
new hospital this morning, after the order
was filed and will commence at once to get
it ready. Proposals for the additional
will be asked for as quickly as
possible.

DEFRAUDED HIS BROTHER.
Ike OrIsin victlmized to the Tune of Five
Hnndred DoIInrs.

1t leaked out to-day that Ike Orkin, the
South Main street jeweler, had been victim
ized to the extent Of $500, and by his brother.
Mr.. Orkin was not disposed to speak Of the
affair to a reporter to-day and expressed sur
prise that it had gained publicity. 1t appears
that last April he started a cigar factory near
his jewelry store and put his brother in the
place Orkin says he invested 81 600 aud was
to receive the profits until he got the money
back without interest, He has received 5000
and 81 400 of the investment is still in
the business. About two weeks ago
the brother started for New York to make
sales, taking with him 5000 n-cash and $500
in cigars. Several days after Mr., Orkin re-
ceived letter from his brother asking a
loan of IS to bring him home. Mr.. Orkin
went TO New York to learn the cause of
trouble and found that after converting the
cigars into cash the brother had spent all his
money in playing poker. Upon learning
these facts the ieweler cut loose from his
brother and the latter is no longer connected
with the business. The brothers. wife left
for New York after Mr.. Orkin's return. The
latter says he will continue the business.

1t is stated that the price of coal win be
advanced on October 1st 25 cents per ton.
This is not unwelcome news to this region
and the retail dealers who have held of their
orders with the expectation of a break in
prices arc likely to be disappointed. As Oc-
tober is usually the month of heaviest ship
ments in the year and retailers have so far
been buying only for immediate necessities
the outlook for next month is good for the
miner, 1t Is stated too that the bituminor
operators will advance the price
