dramatic scene the other day, which
narrowly escaped serious results. The
Won Hummels have refused to vacate
without a subsidy, so that Mr.. English
can proceed with the erection of his
100000 hotel. Hanging conspicuously
in the homestead was an old family
mirror, relic of many generations and
highly priced. Mr.. English attempted
TO remove it to his apartments, but the
Won Hummels resisted, claiming it was
part of the house under lease. Backed
byseveral employees, Nh. English forcibly
seized upon the prize, and in the strug-
gle pistol was flourished, plate-glass
door was kicked into smithereens and
several blows were exchanged. The
Won Hummels have applied for war
rants, alleging drawing deadly weap-
ons and assault, and there will be addi-
tional prosecutions.

Contracts Made by Which the Serv-
ice VIII De Greatly Improved.
. The post Office department is devot-
ing special attention to the postal needs
of the interior districts of Alaska and
has just completed an arrangement for
steamboat mail service, which together
with the overland service recently con-
tracted for from juneau to Circle City,
900 miles up the Yukon river, will prove
a vast improvement in the communica-
ton between that territory and the rest
of the United States. The steamboa.
service contract has just been let to p.
B. Ware, of Chicago, at $4,000 for five
round trips. The overland contract
applies to letters only, but the one now
entered into provides for carrying all
kinds of mail with an outside limit of
five tons on each steamer. Two rival
companies are brought together in this
scheme; the Alaska Commercial conf
pany, with sailings from San Francisco,
and the North American Transporta-
ton e. Trading company, from Seat
tie. The route will be around Oun-
alaska to the mouth of the Yukon, with
a transfer there to the river steamers
for Circle. Trips from San Francisco
will be made about the 5th of June, Of
August and of September while steam
ers will leave Seattle about June 10
and August 10.

Double Murder and Suicide.

CONCORD, Mass, Sept. George w.
Harris, of Waltham, shot and instantly
killed Mrs. Coos. Buffers at her home
here to-day. He also shot her SOD,
Carleton T. Buffers, 20 years Of age,
twice, ipfiicting probably fatal wounds,
and finished by shooting himself. Har-
ris called at the Butters's home in an
intoxicated condition. He went into
the kitchen were Mrs. Buffers was en-
gagged. Without word of warning he
drew a revolver and shot her through
the left temple. Her son, hearing the
shot rushed to his mothers assist
auce, when the murderer opened fire
on him, shooting him twice in the face.
Harris next turned the revolver on
himself. The firing alarmed the neigh
bors, and they rushed to the house
where they found Mrs. Buffers dead on
the floor and her son unconscious,
while the murderer was partly con
scious. He sometime ago lived with
the Buffers family, and it is thought
that he had some grudge against them.

to look out for the sharks, and the
bathers ran screaming from the water,

sharks, but did not capture them.

The Luetgert Trial.

CHICAGO, Sept. Hundreds we're
turned away from the Luetgert trial to-
day. When the trial was resumed ad.
ditional witnesses appeared to identify
the rings found in the vat.
Luetgert carefully examined the ring
with the initials az. L." 10 the inside,
and which, according to the witnesses
for the State, were Mrs. Luetgerts
wedding rings.
Frieda Mueller, niece of Mrs. Luet-
CERT, was the first witness. She SAID
the rings were the ones which Mrs.
Leutgert wore habitually.
Other witnesses also identified the
rings as those worn by Mrs. Luetgert.
There was sensation when Mrs.
Christine Feldt was called as witness
for the State. 1t was believed she
would be one of the main witnesses for
the defense. She produced bundle OF
letters written TO her by Luetgert in
the Jail and carried to her home by
Luetgert's son Arnold. The letters
were filled with endearing terms. Mrs.
Feldt testified that she visited his house
May 5th and asked Mary SimmeriDg
where Mrs. Luetgert was. Mary re-
piled that she had gone down town and
would be back shortly. The witness
then asked Luetgert about it and he
told her Mary had lied to her and that
his wife had disappeared. Luetgert
said his wife had on former occasions
left him for several days without any
| explanation and he did not know where
she had gone. He then made the state
ment that he cared more for Mary than
he did for his wife. The witness told
OF visit to Luetgert at the Jail.
Luetgert then endeavored to persuade
her to loan him money to pay for his
defense. He asked her, she said, to
put mortgage on her house in order
to raise the money. IF you 60 back
on me, he said, 81 will take my life. u
States Attorney Deneen has sensa'
ton to spring on the defense in the
Luetgert trial next week. 1t is no.
thing less than portion OF skull, o
number of teeth and the first joint Of
what is believed to be the left index
J finger of a human hand which it is
claimed were found in the vat in the

NOT ONLY are American manufac'
lures of American iron sold at cheaper
rates in foreign countries than similar
products of those countries, but even
American coal is sold cheaper in for
eign markets-those of the West Indies
and Mexico for instance-than English
coal. But American manufactures OF
iron, and American coal alike, are pro-
tected by a high tariff, not that the
government will be benefited thereby
to the extent of single silver, for
neither are imported, hut simply and
solely to increase the profits OF the
trusts and monopolies.
