HANGED FOR WIFE MURDER

Chicago, November 10.-Albert Au-
gust Becker, the German butcher who,
on January 9th last, murdered his
wife, Rachael, and afterwards chopped
UP and boiled the remains in order to
dispose of them, was hanged in the
county jail at 1905 O'Clock this after
noon.
Becker's neck was not broken by the
fall, and it was sixteen minutes be-
fore he was pronounced dead.
On the scaffold Becker protested his
innocence and declared George u
terlin, the father of his second wife,
was the real murderer.
The case of August Becker in many
ways bore a remarkable similarity to
that of Adolph Luetgert. Both of the
condemned men were butchers, and
the motive for the crime was the same
in both instances-the desire to get rid
of the wife in order to marry a young
er woman. The of committing
the crimes was also much the same,
both men, according to the testimony,
being extremely brutal in the killing,
and 10Th using the same means to
dispose of the body, by boiling and
burning. 1t was proven at Becker's
trial that after killing his wife, he had
chopped her body to pieces, and burn
ed the remains in the kitchen stove,
afterward burying h remains in va
rious places. AS in the case Of Luet-
CERT, the rings of the murdered wife
played no small part in the testimony
leading to the conviction. Like Luet-
CERT also, Becker endeavored to ex-
plain his wife's disappearance by say
ing she had eloped with another man.
Becker made several confessions. In
his first statement he said he had
drowned his wife in LAX Michigan.
Later he endeavored to implicate in the
crime the father of the m whom
he married after numbering his first
wife, and to the last stuck TO this YER
sion.

New York. March 11.-R. G.. Dun & CO. s
weekly review OF trade says by far the
best assurance of good business in the fu-
ture is found in the general rise of wages
The general advance in earnings of cotton
mill operatives, in most cases ten per cent.
of iron and steel workers generally ten per
cent, and tin plate and sheet workers from
five to ten per cent. and of coal miners, in
some large districts, about much. has
set pace which most establishments will
follow which have reduced wages in the
past years of depression. Those who fail
TO comprehend what such change may
mean have only to consider that a tenth
increase in the wages of all labor would
put into the markets a new buying demand,
in amount about three-quarters of the en-
tire value of exports TO all countries.
THE volume of business shows no signs
of decrease and for the first full week of
March has been about SIT per cent. greater
than in the same week of last year and 609
per cent. greater than in 1892.

Sad News of His Daughters Death
Broken to MIR. kipling-He
Hears Up BraveIy.

New York. March 11.-Unable to keep
NM Kipling in ignorance of his favorite
Josephine's death, the news was broken
to him Friday night by DR.. Durham.
The blow was heavy one, but the
father bore up bravely. How long was
she ill?" he asked. He was then told as
much as the attendants thought wise.
Tears stood in the poets eyes and he
murmured half 10 himself, half aloud:
Poor little joe" 1t was thus he al
ways called the little one. The doctors
believed it was best to break the news,
as the worry and the distrust he seemed
to have in all the replies given to his
queries about the little one would have
probably been more harmful than to
let him have the truth.

Lille Damage Done.

Prof. W. A. Henry. dean of the Col
lege of Agriculture of the university in
Madison, says that the recent cold snap
did little damage to fruits and vege-
tables in Wisconsin. Winter wheat is
perhaps the most injured crop, though
the previous unfay orable weather
killed major portion of it. Thousands
of bushels of potatoes and other vege-
tables in pits were frozen. On the
whole, it is not thought that the re-
cent severely cold weather will detri-
mentally affect the coming seasons
crops.
