attorneys questions seemed to stun the
witness. She soon became confused and
made damaging admissions despite the ap-
peals of counsel for the defense that she
take her time to consider her reply to
each question. The young woman was so
badly confused that she paid no attention
tense not to answer until the latter had
an opportunity to make objections and
the court had passed upon them. The wit
ness admitted that Luetgert and his wife
quarreled occasionally, but she persisted
in her denial that she had in any way
been guilty of improper conduct with
Luetgert.
Mary was the strongest witness for
the defense who has yet appeared in
the trial.
There was no mistaking the feeling
of the girl toward Luetgert. She was
there to do him all the good in her
power, and she stood by him stoutly
She had made statements before the
grand jury and to the States Attorney
before the trial began and when her
assertions on the stand to-day differed
from the statements she is said to have
made at that time, she had not the
slightest hesitation in repudiating any
thing that she might have said when
not under oath.
The States Attorney subjected her
to a rigid cross-examination and al
though he succeeded at times in con-
fusing her she was game and full of
nerve to the last. She contradicted
herself several times, but was quick
to catch herself, and the last statement
that she made in any part of her testi-
mony was always in favor of the pris-
Oner
She denied in the most positive man
ner that she had been disturbing ele-
ment between Luetgert and his wife,
and said that neither by night or by
day, alone or in company, had she ever
visited Luetgert in his factory or else
where in an improper manner. She in
sisted that the prisoner had always
been good to his wife, and that in her
opinion the latter was out of her mind
and had been so for some time prior
to her disappearance. Her cross-ex-
animation was not concluded to-day
and will be taken up again Monday.

Shamokin, Pa, September 25.-The
bodies Of Arthur w. May, aged "a,
and Miss Cora Kaseman, aged Is years,
both of Shamokin. were found in the
blacksmith shop of joseph Smink this
morning. May had shot his sweetheart
and then blew out his own brains. The
murderer and suicide was a blacksmith
and UP to the time of his death had
been employed by Mr.. Smink.
The couple had been lovers for some
time, and last week they arranged to
go away and be quietly married. The
parents of the young woman objected
to the marriage and this caused a post
ponement. They being opposed by the
parents of the girl, the young couple
evidently made up their minds to end
their troubles by dying together. They
met last night and it is supposed made
all arrangements to carry out their ter
rible plan.
The girl left her home early this
morning and went direct to the black
smith shop, where May was in wait
ing. The couple went into the second
story of the building. The first news
of the double tragedy was learned when
Mr. Smink found the bodies this morn
ing. The bodies were lying side by
side and Mays right hand still grasp
ed an old-fashioned revolver. He had
blown the girls brains out and then
sent bullet into his own head. The
bodies were still warm when found.

ing. The vessel was on her way from
New Castle, N. S. W., for Honolulu
About four weeks ago the Merchants

London stating that part of the crew
of the missing bark had been found on

CLIPPERS RAID.
Pretty Lottie Quinn and Mamie Nor

Attacked by Hair Thief--Plucklly
Fight for TresSes.

Chicago, September 25.-Pretty Lot
tie Quinn, the young girl VINO was
robbed of braid Of her beautlIul DARK
brown hair at Z o'clock last evening
while walking with a girl friend from
an Armitage avenue trolley car TO her
home, is mourning her loss and Is
thankful that the clipper" left enough
to do up with the remaining braid.
1T is an outrage" said her mother
"Lottie's hair was beautiful and now it
is ruined. Mr.. Quinn and | heard the
girls screaming and | told him to go
and see what was the matter, but he

thought of fire the first thing and sup
posed she had been hurt passing the
bonfire.
Her brother Michael was coming
from the Metropolitan Elevated and
saw her leave the car. He would have
hurried to overtake her, only he saw
she vas not alone. The girls were
walking rapidly and it was dark, go he
lost sight OF them.
Lottie cannot give good description
Of the man, but noticed that he was
short and rather heavy and wore a
black SLOUGH hat.
CLIPPERS SECOND VICTIM.
1t is a strange coincidence that about
fifteen minutes later Mamie Morrissey
lost braid of her hair, which is a
rich, red brown, but five doors from
her home, 1916 Armitage avenue.
Mamie is a stenographer and is en-
ployed down town. While coming
home on the Metropolitan Elevated she
noticed two men, one old and carry
ing a small satchel, and the other
younger and smooth faced, wearing a
light gray suit. She said they annoy
ed her greatly by staring at her al
most constantly and that she looked
away and paid no attention to them
until she got off the train, when she
became aware someone was following
her. She quickened her pace and the
steps behind her grew faster and she
knew her pursuer was gaining. Fin
ally long, dark shadow was stretched
out in front of her and she started to
run, when the shadow gave a plung
and she felt herself seized by the hair.
SHE MAKES A STRUGGLE.
Instantly her hands grasped her
braids and she struggled as best she
could. Breaking away from the man
IN gray she ran a few steps and fell,
half fainting, against a fence with
tangled mass of hair held tightly in
her hands
Friends came to her rescue and she
was taken to her home, where it was
seen that one of her long braids had
been cut close to her head, the shears
making a long cash in the scalp and
cutting her hand as she struggled to
save her hair, part Of which she still
held in her hand.

SCENTS TROUBLE.
Possible Conflict Of Authority--Inter.
ference Uf United States With Kan
sas Insurance Laws Is Strongly
Resented.

Topeka, Kan, September 25.-EX-
Governor Lewelling, who came here to-
day from Wichita, where United States
Judge Williams is holding court, says
that Williams will decide that Super
intendent of Insurance McNall cannot
bar the Mutual Life Insurance Compa-
ny, of New York, from Kansas on the
ground that the company refuses to
pay the celebrated Hilmon claim.
McNall revoked the license of the
Mutual Life, and then the company
brought suit to enjoin McNall from in
terfering with it's business in Kansas.
Ex-Governor Lewelling scents a seri-
Gus conflict between the State and
Federal government arising from this
case. He says: Judge Williams will
certainly decide that case against Nc
Nall and for the insurance company,
and if he does there will be a conflict
between the State of Kansas and the
Federal government. | don't believe
the people comprehend the gravity of
the question at issue in this case
IF Judge Williams decides against
the company, Attorney General Boyle
will then proceed to arrest the Mutual
Life's agents for doing business in the
State, and if he does he will be in
contempt. If the courts would main
tain their respect and dignity their or
ders must be obeyed, and to do this
Mr.. Boyle, if he should proceed con-
trary to the courts orders, must be
arrested and put into prison
Il know Governor Leedy well enough
to know that he will not allow that.
He would Iiherata Mr. POy1a IF II +ool-
the militia to do it. Then there would
all this end? If Mr.. Mckinley should
send his marshals to enforce an order
of court and Governor Leedy should or
der out the militia and say TO hell
with your marshals,' I am not able
to figure out what would result"

PARISEXPOSlIION
In 1900 Will Be Century Growing
Achivement---Moses P. Handy On
the Outlook.

Paris, September 25.-Major Moses
p. Handy, the special commissioner
from the United States for the exhibit
ton of 1900, has lost no time in be-
ginning work, although he has been
in Paris only a few days. Major
Handy is assisted by Lieutenant Baker,
who was connected with the Chicago
Exposition as assistant chief of the for
eign transportation of exhibits, and by
Col. Chaillet-Lory, who is secretary, of
the special commission
In a conversation with representa-
tive of the Associated Press, Major
Handy made the following statements:
There is rapidly increasing interest
in the United States with regard to the
exhibition of 1900. There has never
been any doubt about the people waxing
hold of it with enthusiasm But pub
lie attention was so engrossed with the
Presidential election, with an extra SEES
sion of Congress, with the tariff bill,
ETC., that there was no time to devote
to the Exhibition. President McKin-
ley is interested in it and sent two
messages to Congress concerning it.
The reason why the bill appropriating
1000, eco, passed by the Senate. did
not go through the House, is because
nothing went through. 1t was thought
best not to open the door for the con-
sideration of any question except that
for which Congress was called togeth-
er, because there were so many meri-
torious subjects pressing. Meanwhile,
United States interest in the Exhibi-
ton IS shown by the appointment of a
special commissioner.
| feel safe in saying that we shall
need more space in 1900 than at pre-
vious exhibitions. and that our exhibit
will be of higher order of merit. |
am more anxious to select exhibits
which will be truly representative and
characteristic, rather than exhibits
merely remarkable for their size.
Since / have come here | have re-
ceived mary applications for space
from resident Americans. One appli-
cation received was was for the repro
duction of the prices of gold mining
from dav to day. I cannot mention
names, but it is from one Of the largest
gold miners in the world
The Exhibition Of 1900 will be the
greatest the world has ever seen. In
spite of many difficulties. France did
well in 1889. Then. though European
countries made respectable showings
still monarchial governments did not
enter into the Exhibition with en-
thusissm. Now the Republic is nc
longer eold-shouldered. Germany
joins in enthusiastically: 80 do the
other countries We could not expect
that European countries would have
nut forth as much effort for us in 1905
as thew will for the exhibition of 1900
In fact. 1T required the revelation VIC
made in Chicago 70 convince the world
that we could do ii. The next time al
will come to Us with their best foot
foremost

was fought this mon
Count Badeni, the AUSTRIAN
and DR.. Wolff, the German m
leader. arising from insults adm
by the latter to the Premier during yea
terday's session of the Unterhaus.
Count Badeni was wounded in the right
hand.
DR. Wolff fought a duel with swords
on May last, with Herr Horiea. a
Czech member of the Unterhaus. This
encounter grew out of the violent
scenes which occurred in the house be-
tween the Germans and CZechs, in
which personalities were freely in
dulged.
Count Badeni was formerly Governor
of Galicia, is a young and able Pole,
and was very little known, even in
Austria, until he was Unexpectedly call
ed upon to form cabinet in September,
1895, when he assumed the duties Of
president Of the Council of Ministers
and Minister Of the Interior. His no
bility only dates back to his father.
His mothers brother, Count Mier,
married the famous German actress,
Anna Wierer, who eventually left her
large fortune to her two nephews,
Count Casimir Badeni, the present Pre-
mier of Austria, and to his youngest
brother.
Count Badeni's wound is not serious.
The bullet entered the wrist and went
out above the elbow.

COULDN'T SWEAR AGAINST HUBBY.
When Forced to She Died of Broken
Heart.

ALBANY N. Y, September 25.-"Mrs.
Eva Maynard" called the clerk of the Su-
preme Court to-day in the suit of J. H.
Maynard against Lincoln Dane to recover
Damages for alleged malicious persecu-
ton in having caused the arrest of Dane
on a charge of arson. The counsel for the
defendant rose and said
Your Honor, our principal witness died
of grief and broken heart during the
night. Out of respect to her husband, we
are willing to adjourn the case
Mrs. Maynard had been employed by
Dane and was an unwilling witness
against her husband, who had brought the
suit. An attempt to snireh- her charac-
ter and her unnatural position as wit
ness against her husband preyed on her
mind. She went to bed bemoaning her
fate, and was found dead in bad early
this morning.
The Court ordered the jury to find a
verdict for Dane.

Alton, Ills, September 25.-The
board of education yesterday called
upon the city authorities for the forci-
BILE election of all colored pupils from
the public schools, except in the
schools assigned to them.
When the pupils appeared at nine
o'clock to report they were met by the
blue coats, who barred the way, and
in two instances when children got in
by side doors they were elected.
The parents soon appeared and en-
tered vigorous objection, but were
ordered off the school grounds.
This has brought the fight to a cri-
sis and the fight will go to the courts
without delay. Gen. Palmer has ten
dered his services to the colored peo-
pie, and they have also secured ]. J.
Brenholt, of this city, to make the legal
battle for them. Several Chicago agi-
tators also appeared here to-day.
