LIKE THE LUETGERT CASE.
Michael RoIIinger. of Chicago. on
Trial for Wife Murder.

CHICAGO, December 22.-The Coroner
inquest was begun to-day in the case of
Mrs. Michael Rollinger, who. the police
assert, was murdered and partially Gre
mated by her husband. The accused man
somewhat startled the police and spec
tators when confronted by Lena Hecker,
the woman for whose sake the crime Is
alleged to have been committed, by stolid-
~ staring at her and then declaring that
he did not know her. and had never even
met her before This action on the part
OF the accused man. coupled with the ap-
parent utter Indifference 10 his surround
ings, lead the police 10 believe that Rol-
linger is feigning insanity.
The Journal to-day points out twenty
points OF remarkable similarity between
the Rolinger case and that Of Adolph
Luetgert, now serving a lie sentence tor
wife murder. Each Of the murders, it
is claimed, was by straBgulatlon Both
men, one Of whom was a sausage-maker
ana German, the other butcher and
an Austrian. quarrelled continually with
their wives, and both suffered business
reyerses prior to the alleged crimes
Luetgert ana Rollinger were well ac-
quainted with each other and lived in the
same quarter Of the city. In the Roll
lnger case, as in that of Luetgert. a
wedding ring will play an important part

General Miles Exposes AIEerism.
Baltimore Americana

Ai'dltlulplc <AlilNlltdH.J
Secretary Alger was given as the au-
thorty yesterday for the assertion that
there would be no change at the head Of
the Navy Department. This is not ex-
actly the information which the people
are waiting for from Alger, What they
would like TO know is. When is there TO
be a change at the head OF the War De-
partment? General Miles yesterday, in
his testimony, before the War Depart
ment Commission, gave number OF
cogent reasons Tor a change at once.
The General was not anxious to testify
ia fact, declined 10 do so voluntarily at
the invitation of the commission-but
when the latter made an urgent request
he appeared. The reason for his re-
luctance must be obvious. This commits
sion has no power, while that appointed
by Congress viii have ample power to
probe for and obtain the truth.
The Alger commission has fitted about
like vagrant bee slipping flowers, pre-
ferring those. apparently, which have a
distinctly Alger favor, ana hurrying away
from those which DO not yield War De-
partment honey. There was not much
Alger sugar in Miles's testimony. and
some of the scandalous stories circulated
by the War Department concerning the
general In command Of the army were
summarily disposed Of Camp Alger
which, IL was alleged, General Miles SCI
lected, he never heard of until il was
filed with soldiers. Chickamauga--an-
other-was advised by him for mobilliZiHe
regulars, but il never occurred 10 him or
any other military man TO concentrate
1900 volunteers there. The utter rout
and confusion which prevailed in fitting
out The expedition for cuba were graph
cally described by General Miles. cars be-
ing piled up in glut for hundreds of
miles The manner in which the troops
and beasts were huddled together on the
transports would have caused great loss
of life had the expedition encountered a
storm.
General Miles also told of the utter
ineniclency of the War Department when
the landing was undertaken and during
the campaign which followed. facts which
have already been made public a score
Of times, but which he clinched by tele-
grams and documents. The wretched
provision for the army in Porto Rico.
commanded by him In person, also formed
a part OF his testimony. Spoiled beef by
the hundreds Of tons, when there was
an abundance OF fresh beef TO be had in
the islands, and many thousands OF the
canned article. may have helped some
body at home. but they did not cOntri-
butte 10 the comfort or health Of the sol
0iers IN camp. II would be We'll for the
commission 10 adjourn now. IL Is power
less to do anything. There was an i'm
preston when IL organized that Alger
would resign. He is not that sort or

resolution IS likely 70 move him. and that

FURY OF 4 WESTERN BLIZZARD.
For Three Days II Nhirled Snow
from the Bad Lands to the Gulf.

kSt. LOUIS INDEPENDENTLY
To appreciate the severity Of the storm
that ragged in Nebraska from the evening
of November 10Th TO the morn
ing of November Sd one must
have been in the position Of the
stockmen OF the State. exposed to all the
fury of the blizzard on the open prairie
where the wind had an uninterrupted
sweep from the Bad Lands OF South Da-
kota on the north to the Gulf of Mexico
on the south, and from the Rocky Noun
tain range ON the west 10 the timbered
States OF the Mississippi Valley on the
east. For nearly three days and nights
the velocity Of the wind was that OF a
first-class tOrnado-seventy-five miles an
hOur-and during that whole period the
atmosphere was filed with fine particles
of snow and ice carried with the force of
a rife ball against all Instructions. The
ranchmen found II impossible 10 withstand
the elements. even with their listers and
furs. But even II they could nave done
this II would have been dangerous to have
gone many yards from their homes to the
rescue of the stock. since IL would have
been impossible TO have found their way
back, as II was not possible 10 see ten
yards ahead for many hours. They must
inevitably have persisted. During this
time the mercury had gone below zero,
though the sensible temperature was
many degrees colder. This was the con
dtion responsible for the heavy loss Of
sheep and cattle on the ranges OF Nebras-
ka and In the sheep feeding pens OF the
state.
Commission men Of the eastern markets
kept the wires hot for several days trying
10 ascertain the extent OF the loss, but II
was a week before the ranchmen could

agree as 10 tho loss sustained. and even
yet many OF them admit that their estI-
| mates may have TO be changed either
| way considerably a. some OF the cattle
punches wandered 100 miles from their
range I'm their mad race TO keep ahead Of
the storm. ono instance as to the manner
| In which losses were sustained IN sheep IL
given by James Berry, large sheep
owner, whose ranch is situated near Ash
land, but few hundred yards from the
| precipitous banks Of the Platte river. A
bunch OF about l.0o0 sheep were securely
penned in a large Enclosure. After the
storm had prevailed with great fury for
| several hours this bunch began TO smoth-
er the weaker animals all crowding to-
| ward the wall which served as a wind
break. Tho herders went among them for
| the purpose of saving the weaker animals.
when the whole bunch made s. rush for
| the open, carrying away a strong fence
| and rushed madiy off across the prairie.
| When the river was reached the whole
bunch leaped into the stream, piled many
feet deep, and every animal persisted.
This was the worst disaster chronicled
during the storm but there were many
| Instances where similar punches running
with the storm persisted i'm streams, or
met death by rushing over precipices.
Even those herds which found temporary
shelter i'm ravines and behind sandhills
were little better off. as they crowded to-
gether so closely as to smother half Of
rescued that had been shut up in small
draws by large drifts, many OF them
9erished
While the snowfall OF the three days in
the aggregate did not approximate four
inches, the furious wind kept the mass
constantly in the atmosphere, moving
with great force, so that snow appeared
10 be falling in great clouds the whole
three days and nights Of the storm
Frequently rushing herds Of cattle and
sheep would strike these great drifts out
on the open prairie and 30 half through
them by the very force OF their momen-
tum. only TO then stick there and perish
of cold and hunger. This was especially
true Of sheep. the cattle being sufficiently
strong In most cases to go through the
largest drifts or kick their way out after
time The manner i'm which the snow
was piled up on the open prairie i'm this
storm was n surprise to the Oldest pio-
neers in the State. None of them had ever
seen anything like it before. distractions
no larger than a sandhill a foot high
would start a drift, which would assume
the proportions of a gigantic mountain
within an hour. only TO melt away the
next hour
