PRIZES FOR NEWLY WED. Knimus Justice Offer* Theater Ticket* 1 0 Those Whom He Mnrrie*. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 2.—For several weeks there has been the hottest kind of a war on between County Judge Pfost and Probate Judge Harry Herr in Kansas City, Kan., In the matter of marriage ceremonies. The business in that line is brisk, as all the runaway couples from Kansas City, Mo., go across the line to wed. For years Judge Herr had a monopoly, but since Judge Pfost’s appointment he has drawn heavily on Judge Herr’s trade. The latter. In a desperate effort to keep his business from dwindlng away, bought advertising space in the cars of the two interstate lines and used it in telling “All whom it might concern” that nowhere could they find a man better equipped for tying the marital knot with neatness and dispatch, and all absolutely without publicity. This turned the tide of lovelorn couples his way again, and it was Judge Pfost’s turn to mourn a waning matrimonial business, but while he mourned Judge Pfost also cogitated, and the result of that cogitation materialized to-day in the form of a full page advertisement on a theater proframme. The advertisement contains udge Pfost’s picture, with his hair nicely combed and white tie on. all ready for business. The wording of the advertisement is this: •’Attention—All who are contemplating a leap into the matrimonial arena cun do better by patronizing E. P. Pfost. judge of the North City Court; opera tickets go with each cert I lieu to as long as he is on the bench. Telephone West 135.” The selection of the theater is left to the purchaser, though nothing is said in the advertisement about the location of the seats. If this fails to bring business and competition crowds much closer Judge

Pest* Driven from the White House hy a Fire Engine and Hose. WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.—The White House has been relieved of a plague of spiders. Early pedestrians in the vicinity of the executive mansion heard the humming and saw the movements of a tire engine in the White House grounds yesterday morning. The presumption was that firemen were engaged in putting out a blaze, but this was erroneous. For months the spiders—big, little, old and young—have been making their nests on the ceilings of the big portico in front of the White House. They have raised families and Increased their population to such an extent that their webs practically covered the ceiling and all convenient corners and crevices. They had laid in a large supply of winter provisions consisting of flies, mosquitoes and other insects, and were congratulating themselves on the cozy time they would have this winter. Expectation, however, was not realization. The White House authorities did not like the bad looks of the ceiling They arranged with an engine company to clean the portico by playing a stream over the ceiling and columns. This was done early yesterday morning, and now* the ceiling and columns look w hite and clean. The bodies of the spld* rs. some big, vicious looking fellows, Jay all around after the cleaning. Earthquake in California. SANTA CRUZ, Cal.. Oct. 2.—At 5:15 this morning a slight shock of earthquake was felt here, the vibrations being east and west. No damage was done.

SAGASTA’S BIG TASK e SPAIN'S LIBERAL LEADER UNDERTAKES TO FORM A CABINET. ■ ♦- He Appoint* Mnrquli De Armijo President of the Chamber and Admiral Bermejo Miniwter of Marine. RECALL OF GENERAL WEYLER 4. MARSHAL BLANCO, IT IS SAID. MAY BE MADE CAPTAIN GENERAL. e Why the (pieen Regent Wa* Induced to Pnt the Liberal* in PowerGeneral Foreijxu News. e MADRID, Oct. 2.—benor Sagasta, the Liberal leader, lias been intrusted by the Queen Regent with the task of framing a new Cabinet, in succession to the Azcarraga Ministry, which res if red on Wednesday last. Senor Sagasta, after leaving the Queen Regent,, had a long conference with Marquis Vega De Armijo, who accepted the presidency of the Chamber. Admiral Bermejo becomes minister -of marine, in succession to Admiral Bor; ager. The financial question is demanding the greatest attention, and the Liberals i t the outset of the coming session of Parliament will expose frankly the position of the Spanish treasury. Captain General Weyler lias been recalled from Cuba. Marshal Blanco, it Is stated, in all probability, will accept the post vacated by Weyler. It is reported here that in all her consultations with the Spanish generals and leaders of the political parties the Queen Regent has laid stress chiefly upon the question of Spain’s relations witn the United States, and the best means of averting the loss of Cuba through prolongation of the war and consequent American intervention, thereby imperiling the stability of her son’s throne, and playing into the hands of the Republicans and Carlists, who have been especially troublesome of late. The Queen also insisted strongly upon discussing whether or not her Spanish rule in the West Indies would not be jeopardized by a too extended grant of autonomy, thus enabling the Separatists and Autonomists to prepare gradually and legally their evolution toward independence. She earnestly asked the statesmen if they really believed liberal government w’ould be strong enough to make the majority of the Spaniards accept extended home rule, involving a sacrifice o:: Spanish material interests in the colonial markets and a heavy burden for the Spanish treasury, if saddled with a part of lhe Cuban debt. * The Queen questioned whether or not Senor Sagasta would be able to restrain public opinion, the press and the opposition parties if ho made concessions to the colonies under the pressure of American diplomacy. She cannot believe that success would crown so complete a reversal of the policy which has been follow’ed for the last two years and a half. It seems that some, if not all, of her loyal advisers, had the courage to tell the Queen Regent that the alternative lies between a sincere trial of a new policy, embracing an understanding with the United States., or a conflict with America, probably entailing the loss of the colonies. t

Arbitration Proposed. NEW YORK, Oct. 2.—A dispatch to the World from Madrid says: “The World correspondent is informed by a leading diplomatist that Russia recently suggested to other European powers, which have not show’nr much disposition to assent to the suggestion, that the differences between Spain and America be submitted to arbitration when matters come to an acute stage. Russia’s plan was to select arbitrators from Sweden, France and Switzerland, force Spain to give to Cuba a Canadian style of autonomy and award to the United" States commercial advantages and indemnities for losses caused by the war in Cuba. “The chief obstacle in the way of a liberal solution of the present crisis was that the loyalist volunteer corps in Cuba strongly supported the Union Constitutional party in opposing the removal of General Weyler, but the general drift of the crisis was favorable to the Liberals. The Liberal government will divide the command in Cuba soon, sending out a civilian viceroy, probably Canalejas, as commander-in-chief of the forces. It is also the intention of Senor Sagasta to select a very influential Liberal statesman to succeed Senor Dupuy De Lome at Washington. The new Cabinet is very well received by the majority of the press. The stock exchange saluted the advent of Sagasta with a general rise of all securities.” A DESIRABLE CHANGE. Both Cuba and the United State* "Will Be Benefited. WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.—The news from Madrid to the effect that the Queen Regent had invited Sagasta to form a Cabinet to succeed the Azcarraga Cabinet was hailed with a feeling of relief in official circles here. Although no advices have yet come from United States Minister Woodford, or, indeed, from any official source, there is no disposition to question the fact, and it was also assumed that Sagasta will accept the commission. Warrant for the latter belief is found in the expression of the great Liberal leader, as quoted in the cable dispatches, of his readiness to undertake to form a Cabinet at the Queen Regent's bidding. The United States and Cuba have all to gain and nothing to lose in the Liberal accession to power. Even if the party is not willing to go as far as the extreme Cuban sympathizers in the United States wish, it is felt that there will certainly be a most liberal offering of concessions to secure peace in Cuba. Another resul. that is expected is the withdrawal, either by resignation or recall, of Weyler from the captain generalcy of Cuba, for the relations between Sagasta and the general are such, owing to open expressions of condemnation by the former of the latter’s course in Cuba, that they cannot be expected both to remain in the same administration. Weyler’s withdrawal, it is believed, would result in a general relaxation of the severity of the Cuban campaign, presuming that the war is to continue for a time, at least, and there will be less complaint of rigorous treatment of individuals suspected of lending aid to the rebels. The choice of Sagasta to form a Cabinet has been expected for several days, and guve general satisfaction among diplomats, who regard this as a distinct step towards an abandonment of the aggressive policy thus fur pursued towards Cuba and a substitution of conciliatory methods for militarism. Sagasta is said to have stood from the tirst in opposition to the policy pursued by Spain, mainly because the war policy had served to draft most of the young men from the interior and expose them to disease and death. Asa result of this sentiment it is said that an election would give Sagasta a Liberal majority in the Cortes and thus permit him to carry on the government without being hampered by the Conservative majority of over one hundred, which now exists in the Cortes. For this reason it is said that the conditions on which Sagasta undertakes to form the Cabinet are even more important than his personal selection. If he is to appeal to the country little doubt is felt that the entire Conservative regime will give way to an administration Liberal throughout, both in Cortes and in Cabinet. But the conferences of the last few days at Madrid have shown a desire to avoid an election, as it was feared it might fan the war spirit and lead to popular demonstrations. This may lead Sagasta to undertake the task of forming a Ministry with a Conservative majority against him, which, it is said, would be

a difficult and dangerous task, as every move in his conciliatory policy would be subjected to the criticism of an adverse majority. At the same time, the last Conservative Cabinet outlived a Liberal majority in the Cortes, and it is felt that Sagasta may repeat this success. The retirement of Senor Depuy de Lome is probable as a result of the formation of a Liberal Ministry, and it is believed the minister will tender his resignation as soon as he is officially advised of the advent of the Sagasta Cabinet. Once before he has placed his resignation at the disposal of the Ministry, but it was not accepted, as no change of parties and policies was involved. The present change at Madrid is so complete. however, that it is believed the minister's resignation will be unconditional. He has not yet returned to Washington from Lenox, Mass. -r e TO ESCAPE OPPRESSION. Guatemalan* Want to Be Annexed to the United State*. CITY OF MEXICO, Oct. 2.—A gentleman from Guatemala says decent people throughout Central America are tired of the rule of military robbers, w r ho have for so many years plundered the public. The best people have refrained from participating in political affairs, knowing they would become the object of hostility on the part of the opposition party. They have patiently submitted to forced loans and exorbitant taxes, and have seen a succession of bandits enrich themselves In office and are now witnessing a general political upheaval, with no prospect except that of a change of masters. For these reasons there is a growing feeling in Central America, such as has long existed in Guatemala, for annexation to the United States, thus to find enjoyment of the benefit of some respectable government under the protection of the United States. The gentleman says: “It is impossible to resist the conviction that it is now the duty of the United States to give our people protection from robber rule. We have been exploited until patience has ceased to be a virtue. There are millions of American capital invested in Central America, but it is now jeopardized by the revolution. The profits of the enterprises are reduced to nothing. If we could enjoy good government, as Mexico does, we should be satisfied. Annexation by Mexico, with the co-operation of the United States, would perhaps satisfy our people, but this continued ring rule by most unscrupulous and blood-thirsty lieutenants has become unendurable.” The New Greek Cabinet. ATHENS, Oct. 2.—lt was officially announced to-day that M. Zaimis, the president of the Council, would assume the portfolio of the Foreign Office instead of that of the interior; that M. Toman would accept the post of minister of justice and minister of marine ad interim: M. Colkerpas that of minister of the interior, and that M. Panagitopoulo would act as minister of public instruction. At a meeting of his supporters, held at the call of M. Delyannis, the prominent persons present refused to enter the ministry. At a meeting of another faction of Delyannis's this afternoon it was decided to support any steps taken by the Ministry w hich would tend to hasten the evacuation of Thessaly by the Turks. The attitude assumed by M. Delyannis meets wuth general disapproval. Che*sma*4ers' Tournament.

Indian Tribesmen Active Again. BOMBAY, Oct. 2.—Advices here from Gulistan say the Orakzais are again gathering in force in the Khanki valley prepared to resist the advance of the British troops, while bands of Mamozais have arrived five miles west of Khangarboor. In addition the Afridis are moving on the Khyber pass, and the telegraph wires from there to Hangu have once more been cut. The Chamkanis are also raiding. They attacked a cavalry patrol near Sadda, but decamped so soon us reinforcements arrived. A heavy fall of snow r has made the Koh range safe. The of Afghanistan has issued a proclamation forbidding his subjects to leave Afghanistan to join the holy war, under a penalty of five thousand rupees.

Solution of n Belgian Mystery. ANTWERP, Oct. 2.—This city is greatly stirred by the solution of the mystery which for some months past has baffled the police and people. A bell-ringer of St. Paul’s Church, named Nuyens, vowed vengeance against a man named De Rollus and his wife for some supposed injury, and a few months ago stole their four-year-old child, after which he wrote its parents, saying they would never see the child again alive. All efforts to trace the bell-ringer and the child failed. A fortnight ago the finding of the body of the bell-ringer in the Brussels canal revived interest in the mystery. Last evening the body of the child was found hanging in the vaults of St. Paul’s Church. Miglity Hunters Murdered. ROME, Oct. 2.—News has been received here from Benadier to the effect that the English Cavendish sporting expedition, which left Berbera, East Africa, last year, arriving at Lugh, Zomaliland, about the middle of November, and thence proceeded for Lake Rudolph, has been attacked by a band of Amharas, who murdered all the members of the expedition. The party consisted of two Englishmen and ninety Ascaris. Kovel Suggestion from France. PARIS, Oct. 2.—'The Eclair to-day advocates a Franco-Prussian-American dreibund. In so doing that newspaper says it considers America's commercial and agricultural support necessary even in the case of a FrancoGerman war, and expresses the hope that the new’ French embassador to the United States, M. Jules Camoon, will do his utmost to bring about the alliance referred to. Cable Notes. The betrothal is announced of Princess Feodoro, of Saxe-Meiningen, and Prince Henry of Reuss. The Czar and Czarina have arrived at Darmstadt, accompanied by Count Muravieff, the Russian minister for foreign affairs, on a visit to the brother of the Czarina, the Grand Duke of Hesse. The Congress of Nicaragua has authorized the government to borrow 7.000.000 pesos on the best terms and time possible, pledging as security national properties, the import duties and the internal revenues. Torrential rains have fallen in the departments of Aube, Ariege and Haute Garonne, Franc *. Bridges have been demolished, villages cave been flooded, many houses have been undermined and great damage generally has been occasioned by the floods. American exports for the past three months in the Benin district of Germany show a slight diminution. In the sugar district of Magdeburg and Brunswick they have diminished two-thirds, and there is a great falling off of exports to America in the Saxony industrial districts. EDITOR BRANN MOBBED. A Texas Iconoclast Hong lily Handled by liaptlHt College Students. WACO, Tex., Oct. 2.—W. C. Brann, editor of Braun's Iconoclast, was the victim of a mob of 200 students of Taylor University, a Baptist institution, this afternoon. Mr. Brann was sitting in his publishing house when four men. students of the institution, called him to the door, when they seized him and thrust him into a hack, which was rapidly driven to the college campus. His captors were armed with revolvers. At the campus a mob of 200 students were gathered, ci majority of whom were armed. They seized Mr. Brann, pulled him here and there and threatened to shoot him. A rope was produced and cries of ‘ Hang him I” arose on all sides. Mr. Brann, under threat* of death, was

compelled to sign a statement declaring that an article appearing in the October number of the Iconoclast and reflecting on Taylor University was untrue, and further that he would leave town. This article was the cause of the action of the students. Great excitement was caused by the incident and crowds are discussing it in the streets tonight. The action of the mob is generally condemned. By the expressions heard tonight it is thought the matter is not at an end. Mr. Brann declares he cannot be driven from the city and will continue his publication here. NEW YORK MAYORALTY. Alleged Movement to M*ke Henry George Tammany”* Candidate. NEW YORK, Oct. 2.—Henry George is attracting more attention from politicians than any other factor in the municipal campaign. It was learned to-day that a movement is on foot among the rank and file of Tammany Hall to overthrow the regular nomination and in a monster mass meeting nominate Henry George on the Chicago platform, with such additional planks as the local situation may call for. The movement has developed to the extent of a meeting of its promoters informally, and to-morrow they will meet and formally organize. Emphatic and authoritative denials are given to-night to the report that Tracy or I,ow will withdraw, and Tammany also declares that Van Wyck is in the race to stay.

HEALTH OF THE POPE 1 SIGNIFICANT SIGNS WHICH INDICATE LEO’S END IS NEAR. Daily Amlience* at the Vatican Aban-doned-Cardinal* Now in No Hurry to Obey ln*t ruction*. ♦ ST. LOUIS, Oct. 2.—The Globe-Democrat's Rome correspondent says: “Rumors are once more current here in Rome with regard to the failing health of the Pope, and, although it is probable that they will continue to be officially denied until he is actually dead, yet there is every reason to believe that his condition is far more serious than it has ever been on any previous occasion when he was reported ailing. Not only have the daily audiences, which he is so fond of according, especially to foreign visitors, been abandoned, but, most significant of all, there is that species of stagnation in ecclesiastical matters which constitutes the invariable premonition of the ap~ proaching end of a pontiff’s career. It is due to a very natural reluctance on the part of the members of the Sacred College and of the various heads of the departments of the pontifical administration to commit themselves to any kind of action, and even to any expression of opinion, which, while pleasing to the present Pope, might displease his successor, and prejudice the future head of the Roman Catholic Church against them. The result is that as far as possible the execution of the orders and instructions given by Leo is delayed, and tenacious as is the Holy Fatdher of his authority, and strict in his demands for obedience, they would not venture to act thus if they did not have good ground for believing that the close of his reign is v§ry near. What is, perhaps, most significant in this connection is the open manner in which the various cardinals, and especially those who owe their red hat to him, now condemn his policy. Indeed, there is not one of them, save Cardinal Rampolla, the secretary of state, who does not see fit to denounce the latter as too advanced. And, under the circumstances, it may be taken for granted that the first step taken by the successor of Leo XIII will be to Inaugurate a more reactionary policy, one more in accordance with the old traditions of the Catholic Church, than that which has lately been pursued by the Vatican. Indeed, one of the most influential cardinals remarked the other day that it w'ould not be long before the strains of the Marseillaise would cease to resound through the hails of the palace of the Pope. It is among the cardinals, too, and in the society that they frequent, that one hears the most stories about the failing mental powers of the Holy lather; about his unfortunate administration of the finances of the papacy; about his readiness to lend an ear to any designing individual who may submit some plausible but hazardous scheme; and, above all. about the remarkable decline of his vitality of late. Indeed, to listen to these stories one would imagine that there had been a species of sudden collapse, mental as well as physical, on the part, of the Pontiff, due not only to his advanced age, but also to the prolonged con-* finernent within the Vatican walls, of one who was born in the hilly districts of Carpinetto, and who has always been passionately fond of mountain air and mountain exercise. One of the most serious questions which will confront the next pontiff will be that in connection with the finances. At the time when Leo was elected to the chair of St. Peter the Peter’s pence constituted at least seven-tenths of the entire revenues received at the Vatican. To-day the receipts from this source have declined to the extent of 70 per cent, from the figures at which they were in 1879, and the majority of the Catholic dioceses in the United States, once so generous, have ceased almost altogether sending Peter’s pence. This is attributed to the news which has been published from time to time of large sums squandered by the Vatican in speculation end in unfortunate investments, while the repeated scandals that have taken place in connection with the Peter’s pence fund, notably the one which resulted in the dismissal of its treasurer, Archbishop Folchi, have likewise had the effect of closing most of the American purses to the papacy. Leo does not hesitate to ascribe this state of affairs to Cardinal Ledochowski, the prefect of the Propaganda and popularly known as the “Red Pope,” in consequence of his being intrusted with the direction of the Catholic Church In all countries where the state religion is not Catholic. The cardinal, on his side, openly declares that it is the Pope’s own fault if the Peter’s pence receipts have declined almost to the vanishing point, and so bitter is the feeling between the Holy Father and the prelate on the subject that, on the last occasion when the Pope received the sacred college, he spoke to every one of the members thereof except the prefect of the Propaganda, for whom he did not find a single word of even ordinary greeting. Unless after the death of Leo there is a revival of the Peter’s pence fund, and an increase of its receipts, the Vatican will be driven by financial distress to at length avail itself of the annuity of $900,000 w’hieh the Italian government, by its treaty of 1870, undertook to pay to the Pope, and which has been accumulating ever since in the Italian treasury, the papacy having been until now of the opinion that to accept it would be equivalent to a recognition of the spoliation of the temporal power of the church.

Reed, formerly of Boston, but now a resident of Chicago, has the honor of being the first and only woman elected to membership of the Royal Asiatic Society of London. A paper by Mrs. Reed was read at a recent meeting of the Victoria Institute, and was declared to be the feature of that meeting of English savants. Its title was “The Ethics of Buddhism—Were They Derived from S*mitic Sources?” The author presented many historic facts, showing it was possible that some of the sentiments of Buddhism had been derived from the earlier writings of the Hebrews, or from some people who were familiar with those writings. In the absence cf the author the paper was read by Dr. Theodore G. Pinches, of the British Museum. It was the first time in the history of this august body that the work of a woman had been thus honored. Mrs. Retd only gained entree to it after passing a long and trying gantlet. The University of Illinois and the Northwestern University have conferred upon her the degree of master of arts, while Bethany College gave her that of L. 11. IA

TRIAL OF LUETGERT IT HAS OCCUPIED SIN WEEKS. AND THE END IS NOT IN SIGHT. Defendant May Be Kept on the Stand Six Day* Telling Hi* Story and IndcrKoing. IroKo-Evuinitiation. BATTLE OF EXPERTS NOT ENDED . - SEVERAL LUDICROUS BLUNDERS AND FLAT CONTRADICTIONS. Testimony to Re Recorded by the Phonograph and the Country Deluged with Murder Detail*. CHICAGO, Oct. 2.—The close of the sixth week of the celebrated trial of Adolph L. Luetgert for the alleged murder of his wife showed the case far from completed. Luetgert’s story has not been heard. The big sausage maker may be on the stand a week. It will take him over one court day to tell his story under the lead of his counsel. Then will come the cross-examination of State’s Attorney Deenen, who is recognized as one of the best cross-questioners at the Chicago bar. Luetgert will be carried through a history of his life in whirlwind fashion. Then he will experience a cylclonio sweep through the important matters brought out by his direct examination. Luetgert has all along expressed an intense desire to talk. He has repeatedly declared that he wanted to tell his story to the jury. It is predicted that the anxiety of the accused man to talk will be fully satisfied before his cross-examination is closed if ho goes on the witness stand, and ex-Judge Vincent, chief counsel for the defense, has promised that Luetgert will be heard. The greater part of this week was devoted to threshing over old straw. It was another battle of the experts, fought along the old line with varying results. The consensus of opinion at the close of the week this afternoon by close observers of tho trial since the opening was that the prosecution had the better of the argument as to sesamoids, temporals, phalanges, phalanx, femurs, and other bones of the human body, as well as the lower order of animals. Experts of the defense have contradicted each one on cross-examination. They have also made blunders in the identification of bones which amused the jurors and apparently weakened their testimony. Dr. Allport made two bad mistakes on Friday, when ha identified the femur of a gorilla as that of a man and a piece of the skull of a dog as belonging to a monkey. To-day Dr. Merrillat added to tho confusion of the defense by identifying a hog femur in a manner in direct conflict with the identification of Dr. Allport of the same bone on Friday. Dr. Allport said the bone In evidence was the upper or hip joint portion of the femur. Dr. Merrillat testified positively that tho bone was the lower end of the femur. It looked for .a few moments this morning as if there would be another Interruption in the trial. Juror John E. Fowler was not feeling entirely well. He, however, expressed a desire that the case proceed and court opened at the usual hour. TALKING INTO A PHONOGRAPH.

A phonograph expert brought to the court room to-day a score of receiving cylinders and a vast bugle-shaped tube. This was trained on the witness stand and, by request of counsel, witnesses will speak loud and clear in the future. In a short time a phonograph reproduction of some of the evidence in the famous Luetgert trial may bo heard ull over the country. Luetgert’s testimony will be the star evidence of the trial and an effort will bo made to get it all into tho phonograph. The first witness called to the stand this morning was Dr. V. A. Merrillat, of the McKillop Veterinary College, Chicago. Dr. Merrillat was called on to identify varioue bones placed in evidence by the prosecution and declared by the defense to be the bones of the lower order of animals. Lake his predecessors on the stand in th* expert ’line, the witness was inclined to lecture and demonstrate his remarks to a degree that became somewhat tiresome. But he spoke in a clear, loud tone of voice, which was entertaining to the experts in the room. Dr. Merrillat was less confident in his assertions than other experts who have been heard during the trial. Benefiting by their amusing and at times humiliating blunders, the witness avoided the clevrly-laid technical points which were arranged by Prof, Dorsey, of the Field Columbian Museum, and led up to by the questioning of Assistant State’a Attorney McEwen. He refused to identify the gorilla lemur which yesterday proved a stumbling Dr. Allport, who said it was the femur of a strong man, who, in life, had probably been five feet four inches tall. In reality, the gorilla, whose bones now rest in the Field Columbian Museum, was six feet six inches tall when he roamed the jungles. The witness also refused to commit himself as to a temporal bone handed him. He gave his reasons for these refusals. He said that ha wanted something more than an isolated bone in order to positively state its probable nature and connection. While the witness felt sure in his own mind as to the identity of these, yet he did not propose, he said, in a case involving so much, and while he was under oath, to positively state that these bones were absolutely what he thought they were. He did not believe in off-hand guessing and thought any expert should be granted time to make a thorough investigation. ALLPORT CONTRADICTED. On cross-examination by Assistant State's Attorney McEwen Dr. Merrillat was led into a flat contradiction of Dr. Allport as to the identification of a hog femur. Yesterday Dr. Allport positively identified the bone as the upper part of the femur of a hog. This morning. Dr. Merrillat just as positively stated that the bone was the lower part of the femur. "Sure?” queried Assistant State’s Attorney McEwen. "Sure,” echoed the witness. "You could not be mistaken?” persisted the cross-examiner. “I think not. No, sir,” answered the surgeon. "That’s all,” remarked Mr. McEwen, smiling. as he toyed with Uie femur of the hog. Dr. J. Hughes, of the Chicago Veterinary College, was next called to the witness stand and told what he knew about bones to the phonograph, and incidentally also to the attorneys and the Jury. His evidence did not differ materially from that of the other experts. Prof. Eckley. instructor of anatomy and physiology in the Chicago College of Physicians and Surgeons, the Northwestern University and the University of Illinois, proved to be the most entertaining witness produced to-day. The professor is the possessor of a peculiar voice. Ex-Judge Vincent handed the witness a bone and asked "Is that a human bone?” "I am unable to say.” replied the expert. "What is this bone?" asked the lawyer, passing up another specimen. "It is the articular surface of the had of a bone. I am unable to say whether human or from a lower animal.’’ ’Have you ever examined this bon© I hand you?” "I have.” ."Is it human or not?” "I could not possibly place that bone in any animal to save my soul. It would require the most absolutely extravagant speculation to do so.” This profound and scholarly admission created a roar of merriment, which tha court bailiffs found some difficulty in restraining. Assistant State's Attorney McEwen produced further laughter by gravely
