hours of joous pleasure. The party waa
In honor of the fifth birthday anniversary

Wheeler Loomls , son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred
Loomls. All kinds of games were provided
for entertainment uf the children , but
the chief thing was the assault upon two
Immense piles of sawdust and their dcstruc > -
tlon. The motive for the onslaught upon
the sawdust piles was the ilcnlro to discover
a lot of treasures that Mrs. Sapp had con
cealed there. Thcso wcie the favors that
the children were most anxious to receive.
They were very choice and dainty bits ,
wrapped In tissue paper. After the lltttlo
ones had wearied at the other games pro-
i vlded tor their amusement they were marI -
I shaled around the caw dust piles , and at u
t gl\cn signal all went to work digging for
: the treasures. In a fraction of a second

Tlie police believe they have an unknown
ertzy man in custody who may be a mur-
dorer. Ono of the residents living near the
Northwestern roundhouse called at the sta
tion last evening and asked to have officers
sent to that locality to take into custody an
Insane man , who was terrorizing the neigh
borhood. The citizen said the mau had been
living In the box cars for the last three davs
and had been making frequent vlsl's lo the
houses li > the vicinity for the purpose nt
purchasing food , which he paid for. Last
[ Cvc-nlng he stopped at one of the houses
which ho had frequently visited and pur
chased some milk. As ho left the yard he
picked up a hatchet and carried It off. When
the man of the house returned he went icrosi
the yards to the car for the purpose ot get
ting his hatchet. When he reached the
vicinity or the car Its occupant sprang out
and rushed at him , brandishing the hatcV1
and threatening to kill him. The citizen
did not stop running until he reached thi
police station , Officers Claar and Vanden-
burg were sent to the locality. They found
the stranger still holding the car and keep
ing back the crowd by making menacing
gestures with his battlcax. It required halt
an hour of extremely careful work to take
the man without dolnn him injury or per-
I
I mitting him to use his dangerous weapon.
The moment he saw Officer Claar he pointed
at him and kept crying In great excitement.
"You're tbe man that killed him ; you're'die-
man that killed him ! " After he was over
come and the handcuffs were put on him lib
I never uttered a word. He Is a medium-
sized iran , light complcxloned , sandy mus-
i tacho and about 35 years old. He was fairly
I well dressed and had $1.55 In bis pocketa
I whca searched at tha police station. Noth-
I Ing was found on him to Indicate who ht ,

lc of Free Silver Speakx from n
rial Conn on the Street.
It was a pleasant evening to be out of
doors , and there was no lack of people to
listen to the speech of .Mr. Biyau last night.
A patfotm hid been erected In tha btreet
In front of the Grand hotel on the First ave
nue side , and the utreet all around It was
filled with chairs. These were all occupied
as curly as 7 o'clock , and Mr. Bryan did not
leach the city until a few minutes before 0.
The Interim was tilled with speeches by a
nuirfber of speakers , Mr. Spare of Des
Molncs being the chief talker. He was out
for a warm campaign for his friend , Candi
date White , and he spent nearly an hour
telling all about the man the popullsla and
tbe sllverltcs have chosen for their candi
date for governor. When ho grew tired Lu
'D ' , Gcnung took his place on the stand and
kept talking to keep the crowd In good
humor until Bryan appeared.
H was considerably after 0 o'clock when
the apostle of free silver was carried through
the crowd and lifted upon the platform , He
was greeted with hearty cheers and acknowl
edged thu ovalign in a handsome manner.
lilK speech was a rehash of the same old
talk that defeated him last fall , He was In
very poor voice , hoarse from frequent speak
ing In the open air , and not one-tenth of the
people who were surging around him could
hear a dozen sentence's The new portion of
his speech was an exposition of the London
financial theories , which he alleged were In
corporated in thu republican platforms of the
states ibis full. He suggested that all of the
republicans who desired to assist the udmln-
Uiratlon In redeeming' the pledge of the re-
pub lean platform to bring about Interna
tional bimetallism should vote for Cundldalc
White , which he declared would help to

The now code provisions governing the city
and county elections hereafter muko some
important changes in the old methojs For
merly the law permitted the Judges to an
nounce nt the opening of the polls In tl'e
morning the hour when Ihe voting nhoiild
cease in the evening. This gave the politi
cians the power of cloning the polU at al
most any hour they chose , the oaly fonna'lty '
to 1)0 ) observed was the proclamation to te
made when th * fyll * were opened In remo
Instances under 'Ihtf eld law years * go the
polls wre sometllf.Vs kept open as Icio us
8 o'clock and under tlie cover of darkien all
sorts ot frauds * 'er'perpetrated. The Aus
tralian ballot greatly Improved this bad n n-
dltlou by putting a partial limit upon the
power * ot the judges , but the now law under
which the mxt elecjlon wilt be held takes
from them alt of this power , and there will
bo no more proclamations from .he judge-- .
The now lav , controlling this point Is found
In the following section.
Section 10M , PolU Opcn-At alt elections

The gieat crowd of people that gathered
around the Grand hotel corner and Bayllss
park last evening when Bryan was speaking
offered an excellent opportunity" for pick
pockets to ply their trade , and they lost no
chance. When Mr , Bryan began speaking he
thought It advisable to warn the crowd to
beware of pickpockets. Five victims reported
their lcs cs to the police. Mr * . Blaxslm had
her purse taken from the pocket of her coat
and felt the band of the thief when It was

CHICAGO. Sept. 25. Adolph L. I.uetgert ,
alleged wife murderer , professes to be much
pleased with the developments thus far In
the defense. "We h-\ve something hotter
coming , " said the accused man. "There will
bs a whole lot of things explained away
when I got on the stand "
State's Attorney Dcnecn , Assistant State's
Attorney Wlllard M. McF.wcn and Inspector
M. J. Schaack had a consultation this morn
ing , during which the matter of calling
Fred Halncs , an ex-newspaper writer , to the
witness stand was discussed. Halncs Is
under conviction for forget y. Last August
ho was sentenced to the penitentiary by
Judge Ncelcy. Afterward , through the In
fluence of friends , the sentence was -vacated
and the case taken under advisement ,
Halncs has acted ns sort of confidential sec
retary for Luctgcrt In the Jail , nnd has
wrltlcn a number of letters for him. It Is
said that Halncs asserts that he wrote
Idlers to A. W. C. Grotty of Now York for
Luetgcrt In which Grotty was urged to
como to Chicago nnd testify that ho saw Mrs.
Luctgcrt In New York a week after her dis
appearance. It Is now known that Halncs
told this story to Stale's Allorney Dencen
sometime ago. The piosccutlon hesitates
about calling Halnes to thu witness stand.
State's Attoiney Ikneen Is not cxactl )
satisfied with thu statement of the man.
"I may call him as a rebuttal witness If
Grotly Is produced bj the defense , " said the
state's attorney this morning , "but I do not
believe the defense will call Giotty , nnd In
that event wo will not need Unities. "
CALL Tiin SUnVANT GIHL.
Unexpectedly no reference was made by
Iho court to the matter It yesterday took
under advisement. ThUj was whether the
defense will be allowed to produce witnesses
to oliow that Mrs. Luetner' threatened to
Icavo her ! home six months prior to the dlb-
apearance. A ruling on this point Is ex
pected on Monday.
The flrtt witness called this morning was
Mary Sicmmerlug , Luetgerl's seivaut girl ,
for love of whom , U is allpBed ho killed
his wife. Thcie was a general craning of
necks and many of the people. In the
crowded court room arose to get a better
glimpse of the young woman as she ascended
to the witness stand. The face of Man
Sle"nlorlnc ! wns lushed AB bhe held up her
right hand to bo sworn b ) the court clerk
She was evidently under supprebsed. excllc-
menl. The joung woman was neally al-
tlred In a brown costume and wore n email
chip hut of the same color.
Attorney Phalon comluctel the direct ex
amination. Under his guidance the w Itucss
related what she said was the whole truth
about her experience with the Luetgert fam
ily , bhe said she had lived with the Lual-
geits seven or eight years as a domestic.
During nil that time the witness said LuiH-
gcrt had treated his wife Kindly and there
was none of the quarreling or blckerlnr the
prosecution charged Coming down to'May
1 , the date of Mrs. Luetgcrt's disappearance
the witness said that on the afternoon of
that day Mrs. Luetgert said to her : "Mary
I am going to leave. Mj husband's , money
Is all gone and J am going , too. " At 7
o'clock Saturday evening , May 1 , the wit
ness said that Mrs. Luetgert took from a
closet a cloak , and. looking at It , remarked
with considerable Impatience that moths had
eaten the cloth. The witness suld she went
to her room and to bed shortly after S
o'clock that night. The following morning
Mrs. Luetgert was missing nnd the little
bank of one of the children was broken open
and the small sum of money It ( had 'con
tained was gone.
SAYS POLICC ABUSED HER.
The wltncEG said that Mrs. Luetgert had
actoiJ quccrly for some time prior to May 1 ,
and had often whipped her children. Wl'h
Eomo show of feeling the witness said &he
was arrested on May 15 and taken to the
Kast Chicago avenue station , where ehe was
kept two das. She said the ollicer who
arrested her called her a liar when she said
she did not know where Mrs. Luetgert was
and at the station the matron took all her
clothing from her. While at the slatlon In-
bpeclor Schaack and Assistant State's Attor
ney McEwan questioned her shaiply , ac
cusing her of Improper relations vvlthi Luet
gert , which she denied.
"Inspector Schaack said to me : 'Tho old
man ( meaning Luotgert ) will never see the
light of day again , and if ) ou don't toll
the truth I'll punleh you. We'll lynch you
and Luetgert together , ' " said the witnefs
"and he held up his hands and showed mo
ho wit would bo done. "
The witness , with a show of spirit , denied
that she ever \lslted Luetgert In his factor )
at night except In tbe evening occasionally
when others were present. Hven then she
aald she dirt not go to see him particularly ,
but just to take a walk from the house
She denied oniphallcally that she evei went
Into the factory through a window or that
Luetgcrt was in the habit of klbs'ng ' her
when she WPS In his office. She declared
that Mrs. Fcldt was a busybody and that hci
story was untrue.
State's Attorney Dencen went at Mary
Slommerlng on cross-examination In a lively
manner. The rapidity of the state's attor
ney questions seemed to stun the witness
She soon became confused and made dam
aging admissions , despite the appeals of
counsel for the defense that she take her
tlmo to consider her reply to each question.
The young woman was so badly confused
that she paid no attention to the admonition
of the counsel for defense not to answer un
til the latter had an opportunity to make
objections and the court bad passed upon
them. The witness 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
Luetgcrt.
STICKS TO IIBIl STORY.
The cross-examination of Mary Sletnmcrlng
during thu afternoon and up to the moment
of adjournment did not break her down. She
clung to the morn Impo'tant elements o'
her story , contradicting herself upon points
of little material value. State's Attorney
Deneen , whose mode of cross-examination Is
of the electrical order , remarked tonight Ihat
Mary Slemmcrlng passed through the ordeal
well , "Sho Is a remarkably Helf-po sewcd
young woman for a person of her station In
life , " said the state's attorney , "but wo are
not through with her > et. "
Mary Slemmerlng reiterated her stoiy on
cross-examination to the effect that Luotgert
and his wife lived together happily. She
declared positively ( hat the Htorlcs of fre
quent domestic brawls were exaggerated. She
abe iald Ihat fiho and M a Luctgert were on
friendly terms and that Mrs. Luetgcrt often
paid her extra wages because she was
pleaded with her work , The witness said
that Mrs. Luetgcrt told her to say nothing to
Luctgert about the extra pay.
Laul January , the witness stated , she made
up her mind to leave the Luetgett household ,
but Mrs Luetgert objected to her leaving ,
and filiD leconsldcred tier detcrmlnallon and
remained She told of a C'hrl tmu : piesent
of $500 Mr Luetgert gave her last Christmas -
mas and he said he gave Mrs Luctgcrt a
watch and cl'aln. The witness was somewhat
bitter In her narrative of her alleged ex
perience with the police While under or-
lest eho tald she was Invulte-J and thleatencd
by policemen , win Informed her that they
know the and Luetgert had bpen guilt ) of
wrong-doing and that to save hertulf flho
had better desert "the Dutchman. " as the )
called Lueteerl , and testify against him
The witness declared positively she never
WUH In Luetgert'e tausage factory , either In
the basement , office or bcd'oom alcne with
Luetgert , either day or nlsht , as had been
testified to. She also denied that ehe was
ever In the factory with Mm. Luutgert and
that Luetgert k'.uscd her In the presence of
his wife and that the latter wept , an vai
testified to by a w liners for thu . secutlon
In fact , her testimony was a coiuj. v-te denial
of all the evidence of the proiccutlon In any
way Implicating bur In a compromising man
ner with Luetgert.
