POISONED BY A BONE.
Captain William F. Knoch, of Chica 20,
A Victim of Sepsis, Caused by
Handling 1t.

CHICAGO, Dec. 14.-The sesamoid that
sent Adolph Louis Luetgert to felon's
cell for life has laid Captain William F.
Knoch on bed of pain from which he
may never rise. Luetgert was convicted
by the tiny osseous particle, while Cap
tain Knoch has been telled by the virus
that clung to it. The serious ailment
that has kept Captain Knoch confined to
his bed at his residence for several
weeks is pronounced blood poison
ing, and the source of it is said to
have been in the malignant little sesa-
mold.
When the first trial Of Luetgert was be.
gun Captain Knock was made custodian
Of the exhibits for the prosecution.
Among these was the sesamoid. This
piece of bone, no longer than ones
fiinger.nail, was found by the police in
the middle vat in Luetgert's sausage
factory. The bone was regarded as con-
vincing evidence that Mrs. Luetgert had
been murdered and her body dissolved
in the vat until, saponaceons mass, it
was Hooded away as sewage.
One DAY In July, after handling the
sesam moid, Captain Knoch rubbed his
hand to his bare breast to brush away
the perspiration.
Not long after that he felt i'll, and
pronounced his complaint sep
sis. The cause Of the blood poisoning
was inquired into and laid at the door OF
The aesamoid, After an illness OF six
weeks he recovered sufficiently to be
about.

building OF the Shamrock to Messrs.
Thorneycraft, of Chiswick.
DR.. Pcet has been chosen head coach
of the Columbia crews for the coming
season. The last crew he coached, the
Varsity of 1895, handily defeated Cor
nell and the University Of Pennsylvania
at Poughkeepsie.
In reply to a personal letter from F. R.
Fortmeyer, Guy Nickalls, the famous
English scull, wrote as follows on the
Henley question: "The extract as pub
llshed in London Truth is entirely incor.
rect, and you may take it from me that
the subject of foreign entries was not
even discussed at the last meeting of
the Henley committee. The whole mat
ter remains as heretofore, and entries
will be accepted under the same condi.
tions."

SKATERS OUT IN FORCE,
Many Lovers of the Inyigoratine
Sport Enjoyed Themselves
Yesterday.

In taking stroll around the outskirts
OF the city yesterday, one would readily
see that the skating season was now on
in earnest.
The cold snap of yesterday and the
day previous did the thing that all lovers
OF this invigorating sport have been
wishing for, and that is make good,
smooth, strong ice. -
Although the ice on the pond in She'll
pot Park has teen safe, the owners of
the park would not allow any one to
skate there. Yesterday they announced
that there was skating at Shellpot Park
and the crowd that took advantage of
the fact was very large. The pretty girls
with gay costumes and the boys with
sweaters of all shapes and colors were as
thick as flies at this popular skating re-
sort.
The fish ponds on the north side of
the Brandywine also had this crowds.
Those who wanted good long skate and
wanted to indulge in hockey and pris-
oner's base went over to Shellpot creek.
The new skating resort at Brandywine
Springs also had goodly number of
steel runner artists doing their fancy
business. ...- ,....,- 100, -
Taking it all in all yesterday was day
for skating and everybody did little OF
1t. Ii the present cold snap continues,
there will be skating galore for some
time. May it keep cold and not snow is
the cry of the skaters.

CYCLING.

4 The L. A. w. will continue to main.
tain control of amateur and professional
racing.
Monachon and Joyeux sailed for Eu.
rope yesterday. Arrangements were
made with Fournier and Stephane to re.
main and pace the contestants in the
twenty-four hour race which is to take
place in Madison Square Garden next
month.
Motor pacing in bicycle races is sure
to be tried by the American flyers next
season. It has been employed in middle.
distance racing for three years past by
the Frenchmen, until now u has come
to be considered perfectly natural.
The outlaws will no doubt take rest
as Kimbal is down in old Kentucky. E..
G. Bald yesterday left for West Baden
Springs. Ind; Tom Cooper left last night
for Detroit, while Arthur Gardiner left
at the same time for Chicago.
w. +. Wahrenberg and George F.
Schreiber of the Pierce Wheelmen, New
York, are anxious to race with any anna
teur tandem team in the country, the
match to be the best two out of three at
mile heats, in Madison Square Garden.
In all likelihood the American Cycle
Racing Association will hold a carnival
in Madison Square Garden the week of
January to g. There will be probably
three nights Of short and middle-distance
racing, ending on Saturday night with
the finish of a 4-hour race, which will
be started the night before.
Fred Titus is evidently not of BaId's
opinion in the matter OF winning dis
tinction on the stage. Bald began at the
top and took rapid drop straight to the
bottom, Fred has begun at the bottom
and will work his way up. Titus is now
in the chorus of the "BeIle OF New York"
Company.
Major Taylor is signed for next season
to follow the national circuit and to
make attempts at records prior to the
opening of the racing season. Taylor
signs to race in America and not in
France and he confidently speaks of his
battles to come with the best men of the
path.
According to figures received from
Secretary Bassett on L. A. W. member
ship, Pennsylvania is. again in the lead
with IA new names. New York sent 7;

FOX HUNT AT MILFORD.
The Snow and Wind Spoiled What
Was Expected TO be an Ideal
Hunting Day,


MILFORD, DEL, Dec. 14.-The snow
and high wind spoiled what was ex-
pected to be an ideal hunting day yes
terday. 1t was the first meeting of the
Milford, Houston, Staystonville and
Harrington Clubs. They all met about
five miles from Milford, making pack
OF sixty hounds when they started out to
search for sly Reynard. DR.. James G.
Stanton, formerly Coroner of Camden.
n. j., was in charge of the Milford
hounds, who jumped the fox first. It was
started near Williamsville and made
direct run into the town of Pennington,
run OF ten miles, then taking a course
south for about six miles, ::where the pack
was joined by Senator Harrington with
a fresh pack; but Reynard still kept we'll
in the lead, causing the dogs to swim five
mill ponds, back to where he was
started.
Harry satterfeld was the whipper-in,
who held the same place last season. The
run lasted about six hours. 1t was test
of what clubs had the best dogs, and it
was decided that Colonel James L. VOL
ters' black bitch Fannie, which took the
lead at the start and kept it up until the
end OF the race, was the winner. There
were about fifty mounted hunters.
Among them were Hon. J. P. Causey,
Or. J. 6. Stanton, Causey Williams,
Walter Harmon, DR.. Williamson,
Nicholas Stayton, J. G. Wilson, Joseph
Marvell. It was decided to have another
nn the last Of this week, after which the
'fficers OF the Milford Hunt Club will be
lected for the season of 1899.

the Loss of Three Lives in
Philadelphia.

Furlow had to climb out of the win
dow and drop from the sill to the street

band from work an hour after the fire
had taken place. The first sight that
met his eyes was the charred exterier of
his home. and as he rushed up to the
door to seek his family neighbor stop
ped 'ilil gently and told him that his

FOOT BALL.

e. The U. OF p, football returns for the
year, as given out at the annual meeting
OF the U. of P. Athletic Association,
shows that over $4,000 was clared on
football games, but, as usual baseball,
rowing and track athletics caused a
deficit of several thousands OF dollars
each.
The annual report OF the treasurer of
the Cornell Athletic Council was SUBJ
mitted at Ithaca last evening, when it
was plainly discernible that foot ball was
the only sport carried on without loss.
AS seen also in the Harvard report, foot
ball has been the means for suppl lying
the finances for all branches of athletics.

'UN|TEDS7A7ES SENAIORSH|P
Significant Remark Made by a
Regular Republican Leader
TO q Friend.
CHANCES OF MIR. ]. E. ADDlCKS
The Deal Whereby the Demands of
the Administration Will be Com.
Piled With Made Between
the Regulars and
the Democrats.

IF my chances of reaching Heaven
are as poor as those of j. Edward Ad-
dicks becoming United States Senator,
then ! will surely 60 to hades."
This was the significant remark made
by a prominent Regular Republican
leader of this city while in conversation
with friend yesterday afternoon. E
When asked the reason for his opinion
ne refused to state it but the surmise re-
mains that the deal for the reelection OF
Hon. George Gray to the United States
Senate has been practically consummated
between the Regular Republicans and
Democrats.
The gentleman making the above re-
mark has been identified with the Regu-
lars from boyhood and the forcible man
ner in which he expressed it leaves no
doubt in the minds of those who heard
but that some sort Of an agreement has
beenmade with the Democrats in order
to defeat their common foe, the Union
Republicans and MI. .Addicks.
The Sun has frequently published the
fact, which has not yet been denied that
the administration or rather President
Mckinley and Mark Hanna have de-
manded the return Of George Gray, Gold
Democrat, as United States Senator from
this State.
The forcible words Of this Regular Re-
publican leader fully demonstrate the
truth OF the facts as published by THE
Sun and there is now no doubt but that
the senatorial fight from now on will be
waged to the bitter end.
The Regulars are fully aware that Mr..
Addicks has eighteen of the thirty-one
Republican voters in the next General
Assembly; they are fully aware of the
fact that outside of Mr.. Addicks it is i'm
possible to elect Republican as United
States Senator and they are also aware
of the fact that as far as they are con-
cerned their fight is a hopeless one as
far as electing Regular Republican to
the high position is concerned.
Knowing all this and under the whip
and lash Of President Mckinley and
Mark Hanna they intend to merge with
the Democrats and if possible re-elect
Mr.. Gray.
They, the Regulars, will refuse to 60
into caucus with the Union Republic
cans and in this manner they hope to
overcome all obstacles and again place in
the dust what they claim are their dead
ly enemies, Mr.. Addicks and the Union !.
lists. ..E.
The Regulars have practically ac-
knowledged that they will be unable to
elect to the United States Senate either
Col. Henry A. du Pont, William
du Pont, William S. Hilles, Benjamin
Nields and others who have been men
Toned in the senatorial fight and know
ing this fpll well they intend to accede
TO the requests of the administration and.
re-elect Hon. George Gray with the sup
port of those Democrats with whom
hey have made deal and the leaders of
'he latter party do not deny that such is
he case.

GRAHAM'S ANSWER.

commonwealth Has Completed and
Filed Reply to Senator M. s.
Quay's Petition.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 14.-The Com.
monwealth's answer to the Quay petition
to the Supreme Court asking that cause
be shown why a writ of certoraria should
not be issued has been completed, and
after undergoing a second revision was
filed at B o'clock this afternoon in the
office of the Prothonotary OF the Supreme
Court.
District Attorney Graham remained
away from his Office in the City Hall all
day, and it was stated that he had given
instructions that no one should be told
where to find him in order that he might
devote the entire day without being dis
turbed, upon the answer. Mr.. Graham
and some of his assistants worked late
last night to complete the document,
which is formidable one. Colonel
Green, Prothonotary of the Supreme
Court, was notified yesterday that the
paper would be filed before nightfall, but
later in the day word was sent to him
that the paper would not be placed on
record until today.
