With Killing His wife.

Chicago. ILL.,, Aug. go. --After two
preliminary hearings and three months
confinement in the county Jail, Adolph
l.. Luetgort, the rich sausage maker,
was put on trial, charged with the
murder of his wife, before Judge Tut
hill. in the criminal court to-day. He
has declared to his attorneys, ex Judge
William A. Vincent and ALBERT Phalen,
that he desired no further delay.
The theory of the State is that
Luetgert induced his wife 10 accom-.
pany him TO his sleeping apartment in
the factory office and there strangled
her. Then he ia thought to have taken
her body TO the basement and to hayo
immersed it in a vat filled with a
solution Of caustic potash heated to the
boiling point. What remnsned Of toe
body after this process, ii ia alIsgeG,
was gathered together and thrown isGo

The fire had been kept up nn3er one Of
the boilers unon express orders given
by Luetgert 10 his Waterman, Fraok
Bialk. The State has maIe several
experiments in support of this theory.
Luetgert'B attorneys will also or

results they hope TO successfully com
bat the testimony to be introduced ny

Tho presence Of mind and heroic
actions OF John Walker and John Patton
prevented what woul,l most likely havo
been a shocking murder, about 03O
O'Clock u. IN. Monday. Thcy disarmed
an enrnged coured woman who was
about TO kill child with hatchet.
The two men noticed that something
unusual was going on on Orange street
between Fifth and Sixth, and made an
investigation. They saw Mary. Adams,
C0'nrpd, who appeared to he infuriated
over something, with rope around the
neck Of Mary Walter, Il colored girl
about il years Of ago, living in New

about To Htrika her on the head with it,.
There was no timo TO be wasted and
tho pluuky mon rushed in and seizing
tho wuman's hand took the hRtchut
away FROM her. Then thoy ovorpowered
her, and after liberating the child iools
the woman to the puico station, whore
abe was turned over TO officer Payne.
Can't. Kane and tho officers at the
station house believed as soon as they
saw the woman that something was
wrong with her mind. They questioned
her and she gave them her name and
said abe had been working for the
family of Nathan Liebermanu, at No. Sl1
West street. Concerning her attack on
the child she would not Hay much, ex-
cept that the child had been calling

BRITISH PRESS SARCASTIC
Says Dollar Wheat is a Scheme to Pay
Election Debts to the Trusts.
ALSO, IS UNMERlTED GOOD LUCK
The London Market Somewhat
HISTORICAL.

London, Eng, Aug. 81. The fact
that the price of wheat has reached 81
a hushel in the United States has pro.
duced considerable excitempnt among
grain Spectators and others in London.
The secretary Of the Baltic says: "Of
course wa have been caught largely
short. The riAe 10 the price of WHEAT,
with the uncertainties OF the future,
makes somewhat hystsrical market.
Tho rlsc Of six pence in tho price of
barley, to-day, for example, was due to
no asHignable cause. There is no
speculation hsre as it is known on Wall
street, though there ia 6ome specula-
tion at Liverpool. "
The secretary of the Corn Exchange
says: "There is no speculation here, AZ
anch transactions are generally known.
There has been disposition upon the
part Of the outside public TO bear the
market, but the brokers have dissuadeu
their clients from so doing. The iise
in prices, yesterday morning and to-
day, was not due so much TO dollar
wheat as TO the huying by France,
where the threshings are proving disap
pointing. Our millers, too, are short.
Our brokers have not made much, as
they held no stocks, but it is needless
to say that the rise Of half a crown in
the price of wheat, yesterday, makes
the liveliest times on Mark Lane. The
Americans have apparently got it all
their own way.
The Westminster Gazette, this after
noon, referring to the rise 10 the price
OF wheat, says: "Dollar wheat is an
unmerited stroke of good Luck for Pres
| h1,I ss,l h oh
ought to have been 0vertaken by swift
calamity for shamelessly paying cleo
tion debts to the trusts by tho passage
OF the Dingley bill" At the came
time the Westminster Gazette finds
comfort in the allegation thar the
Bryanites are made to look foolish. "
and adds: 1.-THE Western farmers will
see at once that high prices are com

bound TO follow. But, il President
McKinley's supporters are wise, they
will not for a moment imagine that
when they dispose of tho silver craze
they will dispose of tho revolt against
the American capitalists, who have
mover used their power SO ruthlessly al
since tho last Presidential election.
Tho Westminster Gazette then proceeds
to donounce the "eStortions' of tht
new United States tariff, which i
adds: lie one of the worst anti mos
fruitful sources of the corruption q

says: 1.-The degree of SUCCESS which
