Josephine Wajcechauski died at the City Hospital under the assumed name of Mamie Mueller. Though she hada husband, father and mother, brothers and’sisters, whom she deserted for a loWer, she will be-buried in the potter's fleld. All who loved her in life condemn her in death. Even the lover whom, on her dying bed she sent for, and who in the last in- terview was supposed by Dr. Sutter to be the dying woman's husband, refuses to take charge of the dead body. Six years ago, when she was Josephine Woytons, pretty, innocent, and 16, she lived with her parents on a farm in Franklin County, near Union, Mo. Adam. Wajcech- auski, son of a neighboring farmer, fell in love with Josephine and they were married. Shortly afterward they came to St. Louis. Adam obtained work as a laborer and Jose- phine was installed as mistress of the little home at 1223 North Tenth street. For a while they were happy. Three children were born to them, only,one of which lived. Early in May of this year Wajcechauski got a letter from hig’ wife’s parents in Franklin County. They wanted his assist- ance in making a crop this year. He was out of work, times wefe hard and he re- turned to the farm, leaving his wife and child at the Tenth street home. Few letters passed between the husband and wife.

In imagination they had al- ready heard the horrible sound of the mang- ‘ling of human flesh and bones ani they were slow to appreciate the fact that Mrs. Proc- ter was not killed. One of the first to recover fr>-m the awfu] sight was William W. Cator, who lives at 2926 Franklin avenue. He ran to the worran’s assistance and aided the conductor and motorman in removing Mrs. Procter from the fender. The woman was too badly frightened to give any account of it, but a neighboring physician said no bones were broken. She was badly shaken up h wver, and wil be confined to her room for severa: days. Her only fear is that the news of the tncident may reach her invalid husband and cause his unnecessary return. Mrs. Procter is about 50 years of age and has lost all her children by death. Mr. Procter is a pioneer in the salt fish trade and has been with the Trask Company since its establishment, TO DEPORT THE ANARCHISTS Objectionable People Cross the Oc2an. | —_ Spain’s Will MADRID, Aug. 31.—The Spanish Govern- ment is formulating a plan to bring about the banishment of all anarchists from Spain. It is announced here that anarch- ists w'll no longer be allowed to land in England, and that, therefore, the Govern- ment of Spain must “‘deport them to some American Republic or to a distant Spanish possession.”’ Mrs. Wajcechauski, only 2% years old and Qyite pretty, obtained work at Forest Park | Highlands. Jacob Levi, @ painter, saw her. Levi {s short and stout with coarse black hair, black eyes, long hooked nose and speaks with a strong accent. The woman did not repel his advances. He accompa- nied her home, In the latter part of July. when her hus- band was expected home, Mrs. Wajcechau- ski sold her household goods to a second- hand dealer and went with Levi. They got quarters at 1317 Chestnut street In a fur- nished room house. .They were known as man and wife. Josephine became sick. Lev! /called a physic'an, who treated her for a while. Thursday the doctor told Levi that the woman had appendicitis, and advised that she be sent to the City Hospital. She was registered as Mamie Mueller. Levi accom- panied her, and he gave the name of Charlies Mueller and his address as 1820 North Grand avenue. Monday night the woman died. When Dr. Sutter saw the end was near he told her and asked who she wanted. She asked that-her husband, Charles Mueller, be sent for. He was with her when she died. Then Levi went to notify her relatives. Tuesday morning Adam Wajcechauski, her husband, Dave Waytus, her brother, and Frances Waytus, her sister, were at the hospital to investigate. They wanted Mueller or Levi punished. They said he was responsible for her death. Dr. Sutter told them there was no criminal operation and it was not a Coroner’s case. Wajcechauski said he would not bury the body. “She wasa bad wife,”’ he said, “and deserted me. Now let the man bury her who stole her” The brother said he had none too much money and would spend none of it in bury- ing his wayward sister.

RATCHFORD WILL BE THERE. SENATOR HANNA OFFERS ON BE- HALF OF MINE OWNERS TO END STRIKE AT ONCE LABOR CONVENTION'S VIEWS. Condemned Government by Injunction and Advised That Stern Measures Be Taken Unless the Strike is Over by Sept. 20. A meeting of the Executive Councfl of the United Mine Workers has been called to meet at Columbus, O.. Wednesday, to con- sider the setticment of the strike. President Ratchford admits this is true, but declines to give any particulars. It is learned, however, that a telegram has been received from a Mr. Young, repre- senting Senator Hanna, offering in behalf of the mine owners to settle on a basis of from & to 68 cente. This, it is thought, may end the strike in a few days. It is said the new figure has been accept- ed by all but one operator in the Pittsburg district, and it is understood the proposi- tion has been approved by President Ratch- ford and other members of the executive committee of the United Mine Workers. It is expected that the single operator atill holding out will be finally induced to yield, and that the great strike will thus be brought to a speedy and peaceful close. The labor convention at Masonic Hall | Tuesday morning debated at length a re- port from the Committee on Resolutions and Plans of Action concerning the fyture [course of thé miners* strike. The report set apart Friday, Sept. 3, as a day on which all labor organizations and their friends shall contribute to the relief of the miners. It further declared that if the strike be not ended by Sept. 20 a mass convention be held at Chicago, Sept. 27, to It inveighed at lenghth against ‘‘govern- ment by federal injunction’’ and called at- tention In a threatening manner to that pro- vision of the Federal Constitution provid- ing that citizens have the right to bear arms, During the prolonged discussion, tn which Eugene V. Debs and J. R: Sovereign took no part, there were evidences of extreme dissatisfaction with the committee's report, most of the speakers arguing that it was “all sound and fury, signifying nothing.” _A number of the orators talked of shot-guns and violence, but these were not very enthusiastically received, since they DDBOO-DODO-DD-YOD-H--S-4- 9-DH-6-DHOHO-H It ig not likely that the Convention will adopt radical ‘measures.

Its scope can only be realized when the figures are considered. M. D. Ratchford, President of the tnitted Mine Workers Union. says there are 1,00.. 000 union laborers in the country. One day's pay for these laborers will amount to Si 000.000, Mr. Ratchford thinks, but he says the number of laborers may be 2,000,000 and that will increase the amount to over $6,000,000, The conference and convention of labor loaders resumed its work Tuesday morning at the Masonic Tempe. Moat of the delegates were a trifle wearied by the long sess on of Monday, which wee prolonged to an hour past midnight. In addition the Committee on Resolutions spent the entire olght in preparing a pian of action, and It was« not until after sunrise that the members finished thelr work and lay down for a few hours of rest. Chairman Prescott informally convened the conference at 9 o'clock, to which hour it had adjourned, but he announced that there could be no report until 0 o'clock, and «6 recess was taken.

Sheridan Webster Jumped all over the motion, and demanded that the speeches be Senator Miller of St. Louls and Col. H.

Mr. Ratchford moved that the limit of speeches be 15 minutes, Senator Miller moved to make it 10 minutes. The latter motion was adopted. Mr. Steinbiss resumed the debate, He said that while circumstances had made the laboring people paupers, they were not ready to admit it. They had not come to that condition where shame could not be felt, “Rather than make such a confession as is proposed here,” said he, “I would rather get a shotgun and appeal to the spirit of ‘76. I move to lay the resolution from Georgia on the tabie.”’ “Gen.” Bradley said he was opposed to the poor-house proposition, because if the people went to such piaces they would be arred from the elective franch'se. Thomas J. Donnelly of Cincinnati ap- pealed for the adoption of the committee's report. He did not want any poor-house debateg to carry the convention to a con- sideration of philosophies that were émprac- ticable, Mr. Stephens of Philadelphia said he was opposed to the section of the report calling for contributions to support the strike. The miners, he declared, had repeated that they did not want charity, but justice, and if they do not fee) in great need, money should not be asked from those unable to donate it. He favored the government own- ership of the mines. He was willing to ask Congress for rellef, but did not expect any results.

He favored the monetary con- tribution as being a practical movement that would enable the strikers to feed them- selves while they fight. “I have fought on a-hundred rea! battle- filelds,’’ he said, ‘“‘and I can tell you the hun- gry soldier is never ae good soldier.’’ Gustav Hoehn of St. Louis spoke as a Social Democrat and said the first business of the meeting was to help the starvgng. Afterwards it would be more in order to talk about socialism and trades unionism. Mr. Mahon said that 1,000,000 people were hungry, and they must be helped to exist ‘while you are helping to get o~ them all those beautiful things you like to talk about.” He gaid there would be no divi- sion in the ranks of labor men when the convention adjourned. “We are not divided, no matter what the newspapers say. The press has reached a stage where people do not believe what it says, even when it tells the truth. When- ever a newspaper speaks kindly of me I begin to wonder what I have done or left undone in recreancy of my trust.”’ . Mr. Addington of St. Louis spoke in fa- vor of making the contribution of money to the atrikers, Mr. Ratchford said the convention had lost sight of the main parsoce of the as- sembly, which was to do something prac- tical to turn aside the Federal injunction. He asked that whatever be done there should be passed no resolution consigning the miners of this country to the poor- house. “The injunction,”’ he said, “is not aminer’s measure. It {is an engine of op. pression to every working man. I believe the land belongs to the people, but this is not the time to seize it. We are here for age one resolution, one action, and that s to beat down the Federal injunction. Do this ‘and hereafter we may not need contributions or poor-houses. Let us not sidetrack the one issue, or if we do, let us g0 home. I respect the opinions of all men, but nothing practical has been offered hy the Committes on Resolutions save and except the call for monetary con- tributions, Action is what we need, not petty theories. The miners are willing to take the front rank In the battle against ‘njunctions. Are you willing to help us? That's the only question.” H.

I pro- pose as a substitute that if the miners’ strike is not settled by Sept. 20, there are 2*),000 men in Lilinois wha will see why it is not settled.

They all came in the steerage of the steamship Katser Wilhelm IT. None of them, Mr. Prinelies said, had ever been allowed a trial or hearing, and, being all suspects, they were not subjected to the full rigor of prison discipline at Ceuta. They were, in fact, allowed the liberty of the town, but they found it desirable to avo'd enoounters with Spanish soldiers or officials, as the meeting in the street gener- ally resulted in their being insulted or being knocked about. They bad to return to the prison, or castie, as it is called, at a cer- tain hour in the evening and be locked up for the night. They were fed on beans, on- jons and very bad meat—generally tainted. There were over 400 men in the prison, and many of them were sick, but If one com- plained he was confined to a cell and denied medical attendance, instead of being sent to the hospital. The prison they describe as being filthy. No atiention was paid to sanitary condi- tions. The cells were gloomy, damp holes, sungent with musty filth that incrusted the ey f the mortality in the prison, the pacificos knew nothing. ‘They thought of the place ever as they had known !t—with horror—and Mr. Prinelles said that they did not like to recall it. They were satisfied to be free. Casanova was found with friends in the Cuban quarter of the city last night. He was one of seven, who, whon first arrested, were sent to the Isle of Pines. Diaz, Gonzales and Cardenas were with him. They made a des- porate attempt ‘o esoape and for four days eluded their guards. They had no food and little water, and were finally captured and returned to prison, where they were flogged. At the end of six months they wtre taken to Havana and with four others piaced on a traneport ship.

Large Filibustering Expedition Gets Away From Mobile. MOBILE, Ala., Aug. 31.—A large shipment of arms asd ammunition tntended for tha Cuban insurgents has just been made from this port.

Smith, and after much persuasion succeeded in obtaining her. The price to be paid depended on the length of the cruise, but it was arranged that the urchase price of the boat should be $75.00 jefore the Smith left Pensacola that sum ames are aetiil sub rosa, Commodore Bazze! and Captain Dave Cos- ter brought the boat around to Mobile. where they were paild for the!r services and. along with the whole crew, left her, going back to Pensacola by train.

SD Two Men Shot on Suspicion of Being Anarchists. HAVANA, Aug. 21.—Augusto Ariza, a Cu- ban, and Bernando Pasada, a Portuguese, were shot by policemen in the streets of this city recently. They had just arrived from Mexico.

The troops camped nine miles from the enemy’s position with- out being observed, and during the night the Spanish commander ordered two guerrilla companies and three companies of Spanish infantry to surprise the enemy. The Span- ish forces approached close to the insurgent camp and then rushed upon it, under a heavy fire from two sides, and captured it. The insurgents were completely taken by surprise and fled 'n disorder, with the loss of sixty men killed, according to the official report, and carried away their wounded. The tnsurgent Gen. Estrada is said to have been wounded !n both legs. ‘he troops lost fourteen killed and had thirty-six wounded. Q — —-- - Spain Orders Out More Troops.

A Preacher at Sioux City Draws the Line on Violin Solos. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SfOUX CITY, Io., Aug. 31.—‘*Lord, bless all the services this day, except the fid- dling,”’ prayed Rev. T. C. Horton in the sase-roewn of the First M. E. Ohurch of this a.ty Rev. Horton is pastor of a 8st. Paul (Minn.) church. He assisted in the man- agement of the Bible Institute recently held in Stoux City. Last Sunday he was still in town, and by special invitation attended the Sabbath-schoo! exerc!ses at the (Meth- odist Church. Toward the close of the service Pastor Brown announced, ‘‘The col- lection will now be taken up. Miss Ger- trude Lewis has k'ndly consented to render a violin e«olo as the offertory. Bro. Horton will then pronounce the benediction.” As the collectors started up the aisles the low, sweet music of the violin fied the auditorium. Rev. Horton leaned forward buried his face in his hands and seemed greatly distressed. The astonishment of the congregation was not lessened at his strict- ures on the “‘fiddling’’ during the prayer which followed, A suspicion evidently lingered in Rey. Horton’s mind that something he had done might be noised abroad to his disadvantage for at the end of the prayer he explained why he considered violin solos improper within the sanctuary of ‘‘Holy Church.”’ They detract,’’ he said, ‘from the relig- fous thought the service is supposed to In- stil. lsut for Brother Brown's promise to the congregation that I would pronounce the benediction, I would not have remained to hear the solo.”’ Rev. Horton charitably overlooked the young woman's part in the “‘offense’’ in the tiope that she m:ght some time be led to see the error of the proceeding. JONATHAN GRIMSHAW DEAD.

FROM AMBUSH, — TWO DEPUTIES WERE KILLED. Capt. Taylor and Joe Dodson Dead, Renfroe Brothers Wounded, One Moonshiner Wounded. Special to the Post-Dispatch. RUSSELLVILLE, Ark., Aug. 31.—The as sassination of Capt. B. F. Taylor and Joe Dodson, Deputy United States Marshals, briefly telegraphed the Post-Dispatch yesterday, was accompanied by thrilling in- cidents and was more serious than at first - striving to establish a line of boats be- tween these points. Railroad transporta- tion on both sides of the river ds igtaliy inadequate. Charles Mix, one of the rich- est counties in South Dakota, is entirely without a line. Crops.must be haule, from twenty-five to forty miles across country to the nearest railroad station. The cost averages 25 cents to 30 cents per 100 pounds. | This loss has made it unprolitable to mar- ket corn and sma!] grain except when prices were unusually high and materially reduced profits even then. Gregory County, | 5S. and Boyd County, Neb., have been compelled first to cross the ‘Missouri River with their crops and afterward to haul them across the entire width of Charles | Mix to reach the nearest railroad. Much of this distance is over sandhills, through which it ({s practically impossible to drag heavily loaded wagons. In 1892 a steamboat was built for the es- pecial purpose of marketing the .crops throughout these counties. A number of trips were made and ample business. se- cured. The boat, however, drew such a depth of water as to unfit it for Missouri River navigation. On three or four occa- sions craft have been brought from Kan-| sas City and St. Louis to engage in the trade. They were open to the same objec- tion as their predecessor. Much of the trip Was accomplished by sparring over bars. Fuel was expensive and the experiment be- gan to be regarded with disfavor even by those most interested in its success. Onee atrial was made with a gasoline boat. It was a tiny affair, equipped with a stationary engine connected with the ma- chinery by a belt. In damp weather this belt was so loose that it slipped; in dry it was too tight; at all times much power was lost. The boiler was little larger than a tea-kettle and the boat had heard work holding its own against the current. Final- ly the attempt was abandoned in disgust. Early this season H. A. Kinney, an ex- perienced gasoline engineer, suggested the establishment of a line of gasoline packet boats equipped with the Sinz marine engine. He succeeded in enlisting the co-opération of a number of leading merchants and the construction of three boats was commenced. They will be completed and placed in com- mission the first of next month. The vessels are each 100 feet long, witha | 20-foot beam.

The key to the door was stolen from the desk of the head guard, we are told. This remarkable performance is no less mysterious after the explanation of the guard, who says he was at his post of duty near this desk -all the afternoon. The jailer himself was absent, and it fs hinted that the prisoners knew he was not in the neighborhood. There had been quarreling and fighting among the pris- owners all day, and perhaps the guards were rattled, as guards should not be if they are competent for their duties. explanations are in order, but it might be best to dispense with explanations and ineflicient officers at the same time. ——-—- -s --— -—_———_- The fact that the Post-Dispatch is the only afternoon newspaper in St. Louls publishing the.

The work of that great news- gathering organization is indispensable to every newspaper having any preten- gions to serving the public with the most important telegraphic intelligence. a i TO THE LABOR LEATDERS. While the speeches made yesterday at the St. Louls Conference were on the whole peaceful in tenor, some of the epeakers allowed themselves to be car- ried away by the excitement of the oc- casion and gave utterance to sentiments which they will regret In calmer mo- ments. They will regret it because the majJjor- ity of workingmen are not prepared to follow them in tnaugurating a reign of Violence. They will regret it because the Breat middie class will give no aid or sympathy to methods that mean riot and disorder. A number of speakers urged Such action as could only mean an ap- pea] to force, expressing the opinion that neither in the Executive, Legislative or Judiciary branches of the Government Was any relief to be had. They ex- Pressed such distrust, if not hatred, of the Government as was shown by the Amer- foan Revolutionists against King George's tyranny or as is exhibited by the Cuban patriots against Spain.

The winning of their strike by the Welsh quarrymen of Lord Penrhyrn's quarrice, after a ten-months’ struggle, is ~an interesting and dramatic Incident. The strike was brought on by the re- fusal of Lord Penrhyrn to treat with the Quarrymen’s Union in settling the griev. ances of his employes. Both sides prov- fing obetinate, Lord Penrhyrn shut down the quarrics indefinitely, cutting off the eubsistence of several] thousand persona, and taking the ground publicly that he had the absolute right to do as he liked with his own property, without any re- @ard to the results of euch a course upon employes or the public generally. Public sympathy was aroused in behalf of the jocked out men, and they have been maintained practically at public expense during the ten months, while Lord Pen- rhyrrr is said to have lost @ million dol- lars. Justin McCarthy, In his recent volume of “History of Our Own Times,” gives @ brief but graphio account of this strike and maintains that hord Penrhyrn's po- o - 7 ~ ee, o , ie . ase pig ae ae pee ee ‘ ; Set tM ati ne : have served the primeval the public is untenable.

The only xe@ason that Gov. Stephens has offered for the consideration of Hugh J. Brady for the Election Commissionetr- stiip is that Brady ts his friend and was one of the first men in St. Louis to advo- cate his nomination for the Governorship. In making appointments to offices the Governor performs a public duty of the highest importance. No act of the Chief Executive of the State involves a stronger obligation of fidelity to public trust. It is incredible that Gov. Stephens would, in selecting his appointees, and especially the man for such an office as Election Commissioner, prefer personal friendship and support as superior to all considerations of fitness and worthiness. Let him consider to what consequences such a policy might lead. - If personal support is the sole test of a candidate’s qualifications, the accidents of friendship and the chances of political guesswork are the determining elements in the public service. The claim of the shrewd rascal] may overthrow all consid- erations of honesty and efficiency in pub- lic office. It places a card in the hands of the political gambler which may enable him to win political prizes against the whole weight of public interests and of- ficial obligations. The public service may be the sport of chance and cunning. The reasoning which would place such aman as Brady in public office simply because he advocated the nomination of the Governor is so false and pernicious that the mere suggestion of it is astound- ing. The Governor is absolved from pledges or obligations of personal friend- ship or political service when fidelity to them requires the degradation of the public service by the appointment of unfit men to office. The Post-Dispatch’s great fruit exhibit grows every day. While the enormous apples bring a smile to the beholder the tremendous onions start tears in his eyes. 7 BEST TIME OF THE YEAR. One cannot help a feeling of exultation at the perfection of St. Louis climate at this season of the year. And itis always the same—the fall season in St. Louis is perfect. It has no drawback. The city is a splendid summer resort during the months of August and September. The mornings are glorious, the days delight- ful and the nights refreshing. And St. Louis in the fall is a city of flowers. The residence portions and the parks are a wealth of color and sweet scents. The fires of winter have not yet been lighted, and the air is usually reasonably clear and bracing. Houses are decked out with climbing plants that are in early morning rich with blossom. A ride through such scenes is inspiring and full of interest. The love of flowers manifested by St. Loulsans is a good sign. It shows that our people are refined. It proves that they are hopeful and orderly. It ought to be encouraged in every possible way. We should have a good flower show this fall. If Europe and Asia had the least idea that Mr. MeKinley and Mr. Dingley had caused their famines and short crops, the North American coasts would swarm with thundering men-of-war and foreign mercenaries would pour into every State of the Union. Arbitration would be cast to the winds. Happily the Old World peo- ple do not dream that either Mr. McKin- ley or Mr. Dingley ever did or ever could do such a thing. a i ce A feature of Chicago criminal industry is the stealing of door-knobs. No knob in the Windy City is safe. There is as yet no instance where the keyholes have been taken, but Chicago crime is pro- gressive and there are in it greet possi- bilities.

Her condi. tion since the World’s Fair is very well known. Even Government solicitude is of no avail up there. An interesting account of that wonderful new explosive that Chicago is bragging about can be found in Frank Stockton's story of “The Great War Syndicate.’ It fs another case of a novelist who is a prophet or an inventor who !s a copyist. It is fortunate that the Alabama miner who lived tn ‘‘abject poverty” that he might accumulate $100,000, had a great-niece and a great-nephew.

It contains no provision for an audience. Anyone not a delegate, and who went there to listen to the speeches and take what interest he might, had to stand up and crane his neck over a lot of other men, as the lookers-on have to in a court-room. It was for this reason, no doubt, that clerks, tradesmen, professional men and others who are interested in the questions discussed were not present at yesterday's meetings. The conference ought to have been held in the Exposition Music Hall. uls. W. M. Clean, Representative Men. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Having been a res'dent of St. Louis since 1855, and a Democrat all my life, and paid close attention to local as well as tate and National politics, looking at things as I find them, I am satisfied we cannot re- deem this city unless we put up clean, representative men, and they will have to be of a different stripe from Brady. Such are the facts, as the past has proven. St. Louis. J. M. LEWIS. Wheeling on Sidewalks. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I read in your paper of last night where & party signing himself ‘‘Kicker,” says he should have a right to ride on sidewalks wth his bike, because the streets are so bad. ‘Kicker’ must have paid his dollar license, and now wants the earth for that S:Dgle dollar. Bicycle riders should not be allowed to use the sidewalks any more than a man riding a horse. There are too many chil- dren playing on the walks—but then I don’: Suppose “‘Kicker’’ has any children! No sensible wheelman rides on the walks, and thev don’t approve of others doing so. “Kicker’’ should not roast the coppers, because !f they would attend to their busi- ness “‘Kicker’ would get pulled in every time he rides on the sildewalk. St. Louis. A FATHER. Mosquitoes From Bath Tubs. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. It might be news to some of your-_readers that mosquitoes breed in the bath-rooms and about the kitchen sink. Having been home alone for some time I concluded it a good time to study out how mosqultoes got into my roms, as My house is perfectly screened. There was no one to open the doors late of evenings to let them in, yet every morning I found from one to half a dozen small mosquitoes in the bath-room. I have closed the win- dow panes down and closed the door; still they appear next morning. St. Louts. B. F. DOUGLASS. Salvation Army Music. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. This is a hint to the Salvation Army, given in all friendliness. The Army is doing a grand work, and its use of musica] instruments no doubt aids powerfully in that work. But divisions of the Army frequently preach, pray and play musical instruments in places and on thoroughfares where good music is appreciated. They often blow the trumpet and beat the drum among people who are either irritated or amused if the performance on these instruments is unsat- isfactoryv. Why does not the Salvation Army try to make its enysical instrument performers perfect in the use of the instruments? Musical time and technique might be a means of bringing to the meetings on stree: corners or in some hall some who now scort or curse, as they hear the big drum vainly trving to keep time to the notes of the cornet and the other instruments making discord with each other. Perhaps this hint may be valuable. The souls of the musically inclined are as well | worth saving as those of other people. St. Louls. A MUSICAL SINNER. Right Golly VYokers, ‘We!

Church Murderers, | | Special to the Post-Dispatch. | NEW YORK, Aug. 31.—There is some- thing extremely revolting in the prostituting of an image of an angel to the base use of burglars, but that is only one of the (fea- tures in the murder of the o]d sexton in| the Most Holy Trinity Church in Brooklyn, |told of in the Post-Dispatch yesterday. Chief of Detectives Jas. Reynolds, of Brooklyn and fifty policemen are hunting the murdererg of aged George Stulze, and a half-dozen arrests have ‘been made. The motive for the crime became apparent when it Was discovered that in addition to taking the old man’s watch and money the mur- derers had looted one of the poor boxes. There are two of these in the vestibule of the church. They were cast-iron cylinders about three inches in diameter and three feet high. which penetrated the floor into the basement. here were caps on the lower end of these cylinders with Yale locks, and to empty them the sexton had to climb to the basement ceiling on a step- ladder and unlock the caps. Two of the former pastors of the church are buried in the basement and over their tombs are marble tablets set im the waii. There is a rail before the tomb and a prayer bench where many of the congregation kneel] to offer up supplication for the re- pose of their souls. o figures of angels guard the sepulchers on either hand. To raise the lids of the poor boxes, the thieves had stood the prayer bench up endwise in the corners. One of the angels had been laced beside it and by age from the nees to a wing and from the wing to the crown of the head, the upper end of the bench, about fqur feet from the ceiling, had been reached.” The unprotected cup had noon removed, emptied and thrown upon the oor. With ten days the poor boxes in three Brooklyn churches have been robbed. In one instance many persons saw the robbers at work, but as they were dressed in priest's robes no suspicion was aroused. I; is believed that these robbers and the murderers of the sexton are the same. PREVENTED A LYNCHING. Alabama Militia Saved the Life of a Populist Alleged Murderer.

UNDERGROUND TROLLEY. The New Device Will Be Put in Opera- tion in New York. | NEW YORK, Aug. 81.—The Metropolitan | Street Rallway Co., operating 2300 miles of road, w!ll proceed to put in the underground trolley system on all their Knes. Experi- ments have shown that the new system can be operated successfully. Once established, the new system is said to be much cheaper than the cable and considerably less than the overhead trolley. A rough estimate of the cost of introduc- ing the underground geystem in cities in which the conditions are more favorable than in New York was made by the en- gineer, who said that the work might be done for $100,000 a mile. The underground trolley. in general ap- pearance, differs but slightly from the cable.

Nellie Crother !s again an inmate of the observation ward in the City Hospital. She was arrested at 5 o’clock Monday morning, and being unable to give an account of her- self, was thought by the police to be de- | me nted. | WNellie’s mother went to the hospital Mon- |@av and took charge of ber. She said that lehe and her four children had been travei- ing with a circus, but at present they were living In a tent, pitched near Carondlet Park. Nellie had fever, she said, and in her delirium escaped. When Mrs. Crother took Nellie home she stopped and consulted some fortune tellers, They told her that the child was possessed of devils, and one way to drive them out was to plaster her with asafoetida. This was done, but the “devils,”’ or whatever it i} was ‘hat controlled her mind, refused to be | driven out, even by the horrible smell of the remedy. Nellfe became worse, and Monday night she was returned to the City Dispensary. Tier mother accompanied her. Dr. Kearney issued a permit for the girl to enter the hos- ‘ital, and also sent Mrs. Crother there. Nellie rode {n the ambulance and her moth- er was in the seat with the driver. Just as the start was made Nellie made a desper- ate effort to escape. She sprang from the rear door and darted away. Dr. Kearney and Clerk Piersoll were in the Dispensary door and caught her before she could Fo any dis- tance. Another driver was detailed to ride in the ambulance and prevent another at- tempt at escape. Dr. Sutter says the child’s mind !s serious- ly deranged, and he fears it may bet = permanently unbalanced. The mother has a bad malarial attack.

Conduit Workmen Stick Their Picks Into an Old Cemetery. A gang of workmen under Foreman Red- erer, engaged in digging a conduit trench through the alley between Second, Third, Market and Walnut streets, came across the skeletons of two men and a woman late Monday afternoon. About one skeleton only was there any trace of a coffin, and near either was there a ——— of clothes or a button or bit of jewelry by which the skeletons might be identified. The ground in which the laborers were digging was a Catholic cemetery about sixty years ago, and was abandoned to make sites for business blocks. The bodies in the cemete were removed to other burial ground, and it is supposed the three skeletons found Monday were those of three bodies which were overlooked in the removal. — ee — —— CATARRH lpi ill ci A tae RETO A BR es MR.

THE COURT HOLDS THAT THE STATE IS NOT COMPELLED TO SHOW IT. MRS. TOSCH’S TESTIMONY. She Proves to Be a Strong Witness for the Prosecution—The Prisoner’s Boy Helps His Case. ili — OHICAGO, Aug, 81.—When the Wuetgert murder trial was resumed this morning the defense asked the court to compel the State to set forth by what means, according to the theory of the prosecution, the lI!ffe of Mrs. Luetgert was taken before her body was Placed in the vat. Judge Vincent obtained the ear of the court at the beginning of proceedings, and said the indictment, which contains twelve counts, does not state the manner of Mrs. Luetgert’s death. The first counts, the attorney said, allege that she was drowned in a vat containing water and caustic soda or potash. The seventh count charges that she was struck and knocked down by some blunt instru- ment; the eighth alleges the striking and instant killing of the woman; the ninth count alleges striking her with some dead- ly instrument or bit; the tenth charges that she was stabbed with a knife; the eleventh says she was cooked and her life thus ta- ken, and the twelfth and last alleges that life was taken by some means unknown. Judge Vincent said: ' cTross-exam ination a w was asked if she did not know "Posthat was out of the city when his wife was taken sick with the throat trouble. Judge Vin- cent asked her if she did not say to Luet- gert on May 15 that if he knew his wife as well as she (Mrs. would let her go and not worry about her. She declared she did not make this state- ment. She was then asked if she did not Suggest to Luetgert he could come to her house with the two children to live and | she would be a mother to the children. Her answer Was an emphatic no. Frank Bialik, the old watchman who was employed at the sausage factory, was the next witness. Bialk told about the arrival at the factory in March last of several bar- . rels, which were stored on one of the upper floors, and shortly before May 1 removed to the basement. These are the barrels which it is alleged contained caustic, potash, and Uuhe witness said the stuff was emptied into the middle vat {In the basement shortly be- fore May And dissolved by steam. At this point the court took a recess. TO MOVE-GRANT'S STATUE Proposition to Take It to Washington’ Square From Twelfth Street. The new City Hall Commission will be asked to provide a suitable location in Wash- ington Square for the Grant monument that stands on Twelfth street midway between Olive and Locust. This request is In the shape of a resolu- tion adopted by the Board of Public im- provements Tuesday, on the motion of Park Commissioner Ridgeley. The resolution recites that as Twelfth street is to be repaved with asphalt, and that as there wil have to bea readjustment of the railway tracks In the street, it will be best to move the statue. The resolution also recites that under re- construction of the street the statue’s foun- dations would be infringed upon and that it should be moved to a position where it would néver be disturbed by city improve- ments. A. Follenius, secretary of the American Brewing Company, complained to the board that Bismarck street from Lynch to Dor- cas was impassable for vehicles. The Street Commissioner was instructed to investigate the matter. WOMAN KICKED BY A NEGRO, She Weighs Two Hundred Pounds and May Die. Nancy Harding, a corpulent negress liiv- ing at 4057 Easton avenue, will probably die as the result of an assault made upon her by Jim Kidd, a negro. There is a feud between Kidd and the “The State has outlined the manner in which it is believed the remains of Mrs. | Harding woman’s husband. Tuesday Luetgert were destroyed. We are entitled to the knowledge the State has as -to the means of her death.” Judge Tuthill promptly decided that the! State was not bound to specify the means of eath. There was a greater pressure than ever this morning for seats in the court-room and a great crowd stood on the outside un- able to get in. One noticeable feature was the large number of Women who succeeded in securing seats in the court-room before the proceedings began. Women of all ages and all conditions in life were among the spectators. Little Louis Luetgert, son of the prisoner, roved to be a good witness for h's father. Je swore yesterday evening that he had gone to a circus on the evening of his mother’s disappearance. He returned about 10:30 and found his mother, to whom he described what he had eeen at the cir- cus. While engaged in this conversation he said his father entered the room and ordered him to bed. Later, he said, he heard his father de- scend.ng the rear stairway in the direction of the sausage factory. This portion of his testimony was identical with that given at the other hearings. But he continued by saying that after he had been asleep for a long time he was suddenly awakened by hearing a rustle of skirts in his bedroom. He-called out: “Is that yon. father?’ but his mother’s voice repl-ed: “‘No, it is me.”’ The lad declared that he was eure that It was his mother’s voice which replied to his uery and he soon went to sleep. The State Attorney asked Louis why he had not told this part of his testimony before and he replied that no one had asked him if he had seen his mother after retiring. To-day the first witness was Charlies P. i } ‘was called next. ~~ ee ee Melander, a photographer, who identified a dozen views of the Luetgert factory. There were, pictures of the building and surround. ings and flashlight photographs of the base- ment and the fatal vat. Mrs. Agatha Tosch, wife of Michael Tosch, saloonkeeper at 629 Diversey avenue, | mernine Kidd started on the war path . Harding’s wife. She was a friend of Mrs. Luetgert and visited the ally at her home. Mrs. Tosch said that on Sunday afternoon, May 2, Luetgert came to her thusband’s saloon and bought a g.ass of beer. asked him what was the matter with him @ question which he did not answer. May 15, she said, she saw him again and asked him about the disappearance of his wife. He said he did not know where his wife was and was as innocent as the sun in the sky. She told him she believed he was guilty, and Luetgert replied that he felt like taking a revolver and killing him- self. He would do so, he said, but for the children. Mrs. Tosch said Luetgert asked her what she had heard from the detectives who were about her saloon and what she hud seen or heard herself. Mrs. Tosch in her testimony showed a deadly hostile spirit toward Luetgert and in a number of details she improved on the story she toid to Justice Kersten and in Judge Gibbons’ court in the habeas corpus rroceedings. She said Mrs. Luetgert once ad an attack of throat trouble and Luet- gert to'd the witness im & wONversation that if he had delayed a minute longer in ecall- ing a doctor, the “rotten beast,”" mean ng his wife, would bave been dead. In her pre- vious testimony Mrs. Tosch did not use these words.

When Mrs. Annie Potzer awoke Tuesday morning the first thing she did was to reach for her 5-months-old baby, Willie. Then she made a startling discovery. The baby was cold in death. The mother’s hand rested on the tiny face for only a mo- ment. In an instant she realized that death had claimed the infant while she slept. Springing from her bed she pressed her little one to her bosom and tried in vain to warm it back to life. She aroused her hus- band and dispatched him for a pbysician.
