SKiRMISAlNG OF VETERANS.
Chic Fighting for the Commander
m-Chief and Also the Next
Place of Meetinq.

BUFFALO, n. Y, Aug. 23.-Colonel
Mack's foes moved in from all quarters Of
the Union to-day, but when they had
been lined up and counted the little man
from the Sandusky still led all other can
didstes for commanderin- chief of the G.
A. R. Tonight he claims that majority
of six is already pledged to him.
By deal made to-day through Colonel
Shaw, department commander, Mack is
assured of almost all the votes of the New
York dele galion. General Goblin of Penn.
sylvania and John G. Linehan of New
Hampshire got in to-day, and opened fire
on Mack, but 1t did not trouble him. The
source of his worry is The Cincinnati
movement. That movement got here
early this morning. 1t brought caterer
and much that is better than Cincinnati
water, and began an open-house cam
paign. They claim TO have the support
OF all the Central and Southern States,
and have assurances of friendly interest
from mum Der Of Eastern States
General Linehan began his campaign hy
saying: ITO elect Comrade Mack the G.
A. r. would be called upon 10 violate one
OF its time-honored preceIents. 1t has al
ways been the rule to take man from
the West one year, and man from the
East next"
Colonel Sexton of Chicago has not con.
sented to the use OF his name, and is not
now regarded as rival of Mack. When
picked up q good proportion of the dele
gates ali through the West.
Mack's supporters declare that they are
strong enough to prevail upon the en-
campment TO elect the commander first
and the place OF meeting afterward.

MURDER or DR. CODY,
lam and Fobbed by a Stranger With
Whom He Was Travelling in
Indian Territory.

WICHITA. KANs, Aug. 23-About two
weeks ago DR.. John Cody of Pawhuska, L.
l.. started from his home toward Tulsa,
taking passage with stranger, who drove
hack between the two points. About
seventeen miles north of Tulsa on the
Pawhuska trail the two men were seen 10
make their camp for the night, and the
next day the stranger went away with his
horses leaving the hack standing in the
middle OF the creek. He told several par
ties that he had mired and would return
for the vehicle, and stated that his COM
panion had gone on ahead. The hack has
stood there ever since, and the people be-
coming suspicious made an investigation
to-day, which revealed the fact that
horrible crime had been committed. A
heavy body had been dragged from the
camp to dry ditch several yards away
and the trail led to pile of brush. When
this had been removed the half decoin-
posed body of a man was revealed, which
was identified as that of DR.. Cody. Marks
on the body showed that he had been
stabbed. The motive was undoubtedly
robbery, as DIR. Cody's gold watch was
gone and his pockets had been ri1ed of ali
his money. He left Pawhuska with over
500 in gold. The deputy marshals are
making every effert to learn the identity
of the murderer

A STATUE OF BRONZE.
1t Will Stand High Over the
Portal Of St. Ignatius
Church.
The Gift of an Ardent but Unknown
Admirer of Rev. Father
Varsi.

A heroic figure of bronze ting
st. Ignatius will soon stand between the
two tall towers of st. Ignatius Church,
and over the main entrance to the sanctu-
ary. The statue arrived from Paris yester-
day, and without delay it will be raised to
its position overlooking Hayes street.
But few of the congregation know who
gave the statue, and those few will not
tell, for it was the donors wish that this
should be kept secret. 1t was promised
two years ago, and was to be in commem-
Grafton OF the golden jubilee OF Father
Varsi, one of the oldest and bes-beloved
of the Jesuit priests on this coast. The
wealthier mem bers of the parish of st.
Ignatius.
The figure was designed and cast by
SoussleIgue of Paris, and is considered
one OF his best works. The figure stands
twelve feet in height, and is made of the
finest bronze. 1t weighs nearly 5000
pounds.
A costly pedestal is being erected on the
front wall of the big stone building, and
when in place the statue vii have
most imposing appearance. There Will be
no particular ceremonies attendant upon
the raising OF the statue. 1t will be lifted
to its place high over the great doorway,
and the admiration of the passing wor-
Slippers will be is best and only tribute.
September II the annual mission will be
held at st. Ignatius. The services will
last two weeks. The first week will be de-
voted to women, the second TO men A
series of lectures will be delivered by
Father Finnegan and Father Van der
Esden, who will come here from st. Louis
ior the purpose of addressing the people
at the mission.

Never Before Were the
Starters So Well
Matched.
Every Entry for the $4,000
Purse Has a Chance to
Land 1t.
The Much Touted HoW'and VIII
Be Ridden by Jockey
White.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Aug. 23.-The
great $4,000 futurity, the biggest of two
year-old prizes, will be decided at Sleeps
head Bay tomorrow, opening the Coney
Island Jockey Clubs meeting. The race
was never so open as it Is this year, the
field OF eighteen being very equally
matched. This year there are no stars OF
superlative luster, although Rowland,
Gibraltar, Cock Robin, IAlouette, The
Huguenot Previous and other candidates
have shown well, both in public and pri-
vate trials. Then there is a host OF dark
ones whose capabilities have been care
fully kept under cover, and on the whole
the race has a delightful air of Gncer-
tainty about 1t.
Naturally every owner and trainer thinks
his nomination has a chance at it, and as
it is q good gamble OF $500 or thereabouts
to win $4,000 not many Of those who
have a colt or flly engaged are going
to brow away the chance to tempt for
tune.
All the youngsters engaged retired early
TO day and will not be asked to do any
thing but the warming-up until they face
the starter.
The Messrs. Thompson are going to
start The Huguenot, Gibraltar and
LAlouette. Willie Martin, ScherreI and
Clawson respectively will have the
mounts. James R. Keene will be repre-
sented by Uriel and Cock Robin, to be
piloted py Tod Sloane and "Skeets" Mar
tin. Marcus Daly's trio will be Grand
Sachem, AmaZonian and Briar Sweet
with Taral on AmaZonian. Since William
Penn's fall from grace Demagogue is with
out a rider, but Jimmy" Mclaughlin
will hunt UP jockey. Previous will be
ridden by William Sims and John E.
Madden will probably have to put up his
own lightweight White, on Rowland.
Lydian is not on the programme, but may
be added. If Lydian is a non-starter
Madden may put Thorpe on Howland,
Handsel will be ridden by Lonnie Clay
ton and Tiny Williams will be up on
Plaudit. Arquebus will have Doggett up
al a few pounds over weight and John
McCaferty will ride his own colt Gala
Day, scaling probably four pounds over.
Harry Lewis will be five pounds over on
Ruby Lips. Central Trust will proba bly,
be ridden by Hewitt.
David Gideon said tonight that he did
not think he would start Frohman, but if
he did Perkins would do the riding.
The rain tonight was scarcely heavy
enough 10 make Inc track real heavy, but
if the downpour continues no power can
make the footing good. There are several

LUETG ER3 ON TRIAL.
Counsel for the Sausage Maker Spring a
Sensation.

Sensa
CHICAGO, ILL. Aug. o. - Adolpb
Luetgert the wealthy sausage-manu-
facturer accused OF numbering his wife
Louisa, was placed on trial in the crimi-
nal court to-day. Owing to the wide
spread notoriety of the case since the
disappearance of Mrs. Luetgert on May 1
and the subsequent finding of rings identi-
fed as hers, and of the traces said to be
of human flesh and bones in a vat in Luet-
gerts factory, 1t is expected that great
deal of time will be wasted in getting a
jury.
Both sides announced their readiness tc
proceed to trial as soon as the case was
called. Luptgert betrayed great anxiety,
and was much more nervous and haggard
than during the hearing of the habaes
corpus case, when he vaInly sought re-
lease on bail. His attorney, Ex-Judge
Vincent, sprang a sensation as soon as
Judge Tuthlll ordered a special venire of
100 men drawn from the jury-box under
the provisions of the new law. Vincent
gave notice that he would attack the con-
sututionality of the law and file objec-
tions. This means lengthy legal tilt be-
fore the business of getting jury can be
commenced. An appeal will certainly
follow an unfayorable decision by the
court, or even if Lue etgert Is sentenced to
hang he will have long respite until the
Supreme Court passes upon the case.
The court adjourned to give the bailiffs
time TO summon the yenire. Judge Tut
hill Will pass on the deiense's objections
tomorrow morning.

CONF plete sway in his mind. HIS one ldea
makes his life miserable. He no sooner
gets a chance to work than ne gives up the
place on the ground that he cannot hold ii
after being found out by his shadow, the
actress. He suffers much mental distress.
His trouble with the hypnotic actress
daies back five years, when he went to see
play al a Thiid-avenue theater in New
York. He was deeply interested in the
play, and at last, he says, he found that
tine soubrette was trying to hypnotize him.
He says she looked straight at him over
the footiights, and said, II want you."
That settled 1T in his mind. He went
home ali in a trem bic and in great mental
distress, and from that day to this he has
not been, free from the thought that this
young woman is trying 10 make an actor
of I'M by hypnotizins him.

nall a dozen places. Prosecutor Low
1eciined to interfere. saying that the

But the racetrack men were not satisfied
with this condition of things, and swore
ont warrants charging the poolroom men
with gam bling, and last Thursday the
police made raid on the poolrooms,
closing most of them and arresting &
large mum ber of their visitors.
Ihe poolroom men threaten vengeance,
and since that they have sworn out war
rants against the racetrack men. but to-
day the latter took the initiative and
secured tenn mporary injunction forbidding
the police to raid the racetracks.
