That Bear Dance at Reading;.
The incidents at Reading yesterday,
conservatively described In another
place, Ulusttate the chaotic character
of the present Democratic party a
party bound together by no clearly-defined
and vital principles, and existing
chlefttrfor the purpose of exhibiting to
the coifntry a hoirlble example of mls
dlroctd energy.
Mr. Ilarrlty, the chief victim In the
rcrlmmage, emerses w 1th the bruises
of conspicuous martyrdom and there-
forcwlth the prospect of not very dls-
tnnt triumph oor his piesent persplr
inff'Dummelers. The attack upon him
lifiVItiiriVlfHn In Jealousy and gathered
foro'e 'from that fanaticism which would
sooner -w rfck a cnuse than allow for
honest dlffuonces In opinion. We have
no hiteiest In Mr. Ilarrlty, In one way
or anotliei, except that cuiloslty which
Is otdlnaillj excited by a forceful per-
. onallt U&Idk to high position from
humble beginnings. Trom n Ucpubll
enn standpoint It makes little or no
difference w hether the name of the
leader of the Demociatlc forlorn hope
in Pennsylvania be Ilarrlty, Garman
or fcomethlng else. Hut looking at the
Heading coiuentlon's work from a
humanitarian standpoint it seems ciuel,
brutal and shameful, and we expect to
see the better element In the Demo
cratic patty tepudlate the agents and
insttuments of It and moe to recon
struct the tuins of their party on a
broadet and braer basis
In the meantime it Is now evident to
all that the exttemlsts are in the Demo
ciatlc saddle, and those who don't have
the Inclination to ride to their self-de-structhe
quickstep should bo made
welcome in the Republican fold. To the
Reading platform we shall refer here
after. The Rev. Dr. Swallow's opinion of the
other state candidates this fall can
readily be conjectutcd; but what the
public has yet to leatn Is the clerical
gentleman's opinion of himself.
Judge Willard's Resignation.
The announcement that Hon. E. N.
AVillard will today by resignation re
tire from the bench of the Superior
court, while it Is not unexpected,
nevertheless supplies a fit occasion for
a btlef wotd of comment upon his rec
otd as a Jut 1st.
Called to the hfjich by appointment
j two ears ago, from a career of active
and successful practice at the bar, it
Is simply otcIng what will be gladly
attested by colleagues and practitioners
alike to say that Judge Willard ex
hibited from the first judicial qualities
not merely confirming tne wisdom of
his selection but even exceeding the
sanguine expectation of his friends.
Astute and accutate in his Intetpreta
tlons of the law, he had moreov er that
practical siasp on the essence of jus
tice which Is of paramount alue on
any bench. To the adjudication of
Issues arising ftom the peculiar con
ditions of the anthracite industry bo
natuially brought special knowledge,
and much of I1I3 time was devoted to
cases of this character; but In the gen
eral business of the couit his clear
judgment pnd sane view of the under
pins equities wete soon recognized and
appreciated, and In his retirement the
court will experience a loss of not easily
measurable dimensions.
That loss, howexer, will be Sctanton's
gain; for It will restore to the bar of
Lackawanna county easily Its foremost
representathe; ond to the community
a citizen whose public spirit constitutes
a resource of inestimable auc.
Chicago's Latest AUirtler Case.
A trial destined to become famous Is
now in piogiess In Chicago. Assuming
that not all our readew are familiar
with the principal facts in th case a
few words in tevlew seem admissible.
The defendant, Adolph L Luetgert, a
manufactutcr of sausage, Is under in
dictment for the alleged murder of his
wife, who was last seen alive In the
eenlng of May 1, when she bade her
welve- tar-old son good night. The
'prosecution chaises that Luetgert
-Wlledliei and destroyed her body In a
vat containing chemicals In his saus
nge factory. The defense challenges
the prosecution to proo that Mis.
Luotgert Is dead.
The two had quarreled. Luetgert had
left the home which shelteied his wlfo
"arid children, and taken up his resi
dence In the sausage factory. The fac
,'tory had bean idle for some weeks prior
to May 1, but on that night Luetgert
had flres made, and twice during the
night bent the night watchman away
on ei rands. Luetgert spent most of the
night In the front part of the basement,
where the vats are located, and he
himself turned on the steam. Several
weeks before a laborer named Frank
Oberowsky had, under orders fiom
Luetgert, broken up the contents of a
barrel of stuff delivered at the factory,
different from anything Oberowsky had
ever seen used in the manufacture of
sausage. This stuff had burned his
hands, leaving scars. Later a slimy
substance was found in one of the vats,
and some of this corrosive chemical.
Such are the facts admitted by both J
Bides. The prosecution presents cer
tain other alleged facts which the de
fense strenuously disputes. It claims,
for example, that In the vat which the
police searched were found bits of bone,
an artificial tooth and two gold rings,
which were afterward Identified as
rings whlc) the missing woman wore.
A passerby on the night of May 1, It Is
also alleged, had heard a muffled
scream. Luetgert and hla wife had
been on had tcims and he had, it Is
asserted, expressed a wish to get rid
of her.
In the preliminary hearing a chemist
testified that the chemicals Indicated
in the vat consisted of crude caustic
soda and caustic potash. In support of
the chemist's assertion that such a
solution, properly heated, would de
stroy a human body In from two to
three hours, a solution was mixed ex
perimentally and the corpse of a pauper
thrown in It. In three hours nothing
was left except a few pieces of bone
nnd a thick brown ooze, similar to that
found In the sausage vat. The lino of
defense will be to prove that the chemi
cals were used for the destruction of
certain black sausage and that the
missing woman has been seen since
May 1, alive nnd comparatively well.
One Ilohmrlch, a law student, Is pre
pared to testify that on May B at Ken
osha he had seen In the railway station
n woman whose description as to per
sonal appearance and clothing tallies
exactly with the appearance of Mrs.
Luetgert. The woman had reached
Kenosha the night before on a north
bound train, had slept all night in the
station, refused to give her name, but
said she had a sister living In Chicago,
named Mueller. Mrs. Luetgert had a
sister by that name. This testimony,
it is said, can be corroborated.
It Is nnnounced that during the pres
ent trial the jury will be asked by the
defense to witness an experiment In the
at In the basement of the sausage fac
toty. This Is to be the result of an ex
periment conducted by Luetgert's at
torneys Saturday. The body of a man
about Mrs. Luetgert's ago nnd weight,
was taken to the factory and lmmftsed
in a solution of caustic potash. The
experts relate that after boiling the
body in n 15 per cent, solution of the
potash for the same length of time,
thii and one-half hours, and under
the same circumstances as the state
alleges that Luetgert disintegrated the
body of his wife, the complete skeleton
of the cadaver remained intact, and
that the solution hnd but little effect on
the clothing. As a result of the test,
the defense, It Is said, will ask Judge
Tuthill to remove his court and the
jury to the basement of the big saus
age factory for a few hours and wit
ness another experiment, which the de
fense claims will completely disprove
the state's theory of disintegration.
Comment on such a case cannot well
be made until a verdict Is reached. But
It Is evidently going to be a famous
case, both for Its horrors and its fine
points in criminal law.
Brother Gatman's victory Is an empty
one and moreover It drhes into tem
porary tetreat tho ablest general of
them all.
The Second Gubernatorial Entry.
The second formal aowal of a Re
publican candidacy for the guberna
torial nomination In Pennsylvania next
year has been made. Congressman
Charles W. Stone, of Warren, ha!ng
hurled his gage of friendly battle Into
the political arena, his namesake, the
gentleman from Allegheny, Hon. Wil
liam A. Stone, now does likewise and
calls upon his friends throughout the
commonwealth to rally to his support.
Colonel Stone Is a man of robust per
sonality, mentally and physically, and
has behind him an extended record of
conspicuous and useful public service
at the national capital. His Identifi
cation with the cause of immigration
restriction, a subject upon which he
may be said to be an expert, has been
one of the means by which his fame has
traersed the state and given him
strength politically in quarters where
personally he is little known. But his
equipment for the executhe office is
not limited to a special line of legis
lative woik; his mental development
and his experience In public affairs are
well rounded; and if geographical and
factional reasons do not finally opetate
to lender his candidacy futile, ho will
undoubtedly make a first-rate goer
nor. It has .been said of Colonel Stone that
he Is the "slated" candidate, but this
assertion Is rendered ildlculous by the
obvious fact that in a Held likely soon
to bo occupied by representative men
from every section of the common
wealth no slate could at this early time
be made, een If thete were a dispo
sition to make one. The field Is open,
the way Is clear and it will no doubt
be the public's purpobe to continue
these faorable conditions until it can
select the candidate most satisfactory
to it and proceed to place him in nomin
ation. There are men In the Democratic
party of whom It can be said, as It was
said of the Bourbons of Fmnce, that
they neither leatn nor forget. This
class voted for Andrew Jackson until
Billy Bian arose, and It will no doubt
shout for Btyan and 1G to 1 long after
Bryan himself Is gathered to his fath
eis and tho free silver issue burled un
derneath half a century of oblivion It
is this clement which is now in tho
paity saddle in many localities and in
sheer self respect the sound money
Democrats in those localities will have
either to co-opetato with the Republi
cans until the zealots in their own
party tun their course and disappear,
or withdraw from political activity al
together. Says Governor PIngree: "If some
thing in tho nature of the responsibil
ity Imposed by the national banking
law upon banks could be applied to all
corporations I believe that much of the
odium which now attaches to corpor
ations in general would bo removed."
If Governor PIngree were a corpora
tion doing business In Pennsylvania
he would not have occasion to lament
the laxity of legal oversight and Inter
ference, Will the friends of Ilarrlty In Lacka
wanna sit quiet while he is being per
secuted for having had the courage of
his convictions?
Wo notice that a number of grammar
ians have flats In each other's hair con
cerning the split infinitive, as used In
such phrases as; "To properly under
tandi" "to fully comprehend." They
will quarrel, of course, because quar
reling l.s part of a grammarian's pusl
ness; but notwithstanding and never
theless, tho writer who writes chiefly
for tho purpose of conveying thought
will contlnuo to split .his Infinitives
whenever It suits his purpose, Just as
ho will end his sentences with prepo
sitions when 'it is more direct, lucid
nnd effective than to reclothe tho
thought In a moro conventional drcBS.
The grammarians make us tired.
Confronted this week with the larg
est criminal trial list In tho history ot
Chester county, Judge Hemphill offered
pointed advice to the grand jury.
After pointing out to It the fact that
tho multiplicity of petty cases plainly
bespoke the rapacity ot committing
magistrates for fees, ho urged It to
Ignore every one of these cases and put
tho costs on the prosecutor. This may
sound rough, but It Is tho one way to
get public sentiment on tho subject
stirred up.
The suggestion of tho French deputy
that Franco and Russia take In the
United States In a triple alliance to
preserve the peace of Christendom dur
ing the Twentieth century is, wo fear,
more complimentary to this country
than practicable. So far, however,
as the United States Is concerned wo
guess the pence Is pretty safe, unless
sutnt! other power shoves us.
The Washington Star puts columns
into a sentence when, with nn eye on
tho Gotham mayoralty fight, It says:
"Mr. Piatt Is a great politician, but he
has not tho genius for reconciliations
shown by Mr. Quay." Tor all around
astuteness the latter may have a
superior, but If so tho public doesn't
yet know it.
Captain Mahan, the naval expert,
professes to see Into futurity far enough
to distinguish that In tho twentieth
century there will come an armed clash
between Christianity and Mohammed
anism and the stake will be the domi
nation of the world. Some men are al
ways seeing big possibilities afar off.
That was a sensible suggestion of
Superintendent Howell to tho board of
control the other night that salaries ot
principals bo graded according to
merit. The same might bo suggested as
to all teachers' salaries, but the
millennium in school management Is
not yet so near.
The chief duty of tho United States
government in reference to Cuba seems
at present to be to aid Spain in the cir
cumvention of the Insurgents. But we
venture to predict that this unholy
alliance will not last much longer.
The announcement that Tom Watson
will "forever retire from politics" Is
certainly tough on politics.
THE KLONDIKE GOLD BUG.

The bojs who havo been prospecting
up Dead Dog Run report poor success.
Tho nuggets found thero are not larger
than goose-eggs, and tho claims are
hardly considered worth working nt

men and Eastern capitalists.
Tho editor wishes to apologize in ad
anco for any errors that may creep into
tho columns of tho "Bug" today. Henry
Eppsteln, a clerk at tho "Royal London
nnd Paris Clothing house," is learning to
piny on tho cornet. As the "Bug"
offlco is situated in tho "Rojal London
and Paris Clothing house" block, and we
are behind two months on our rent, and
Henry Is a nephew of the proprietor,
tho reader can easily see why we hesi
tate at taking radical measures and plac

Ephrlam Pratt, a young upstart from
Seattle, who Is a regular subscriber to
Ajcr's Almanac and tho "Klondonlan,"
has recently been taking on tho airs of
the literati, and has gone so far as to
accuse the editor of the "Bug" of plag
arlsm. We are not at all worried over
tho prattle of this tenderfoot Insect.
We aro willing to wager our weekly
pan of nuggets that ho does not know the

Truth Which Can
Discotinf Fiction
The legal point raised In the Luetgert
murder case, dn Chicago, that tho corpse
has not been seen, cither In wholo or In
part, and that thcreforo a murder cannot
bo presumed, suggests to John Northern
Billiard, a contributor to tho Times
Herald, tho nnrratlvo which follows; Be
tween 1 55 and 2 05 p. m. on the last day
of Tebruary, 1S91, William Wootton, a
wealthy cltron-ilrowcr of Fresno coun
ty, California, disappeared as suddenly
nnd mysteriously from his homo as a
coin is slipped from tho palm of a wiz
ard. To this day not tho slightest trnco
of tho man, dead or alive, has been
found, though twenty detectives have
scoured this country from tho Pacific to
tho Atlantic Shortly after Wootton s
dlsappearanco thero were rumors of foul
play. Ho had been last seen In company
with a friend named Sanders, and tho
latter was arrested, but becauso of tho
absenco of tho body of tho offense, the
corpus delicti, ho wns discharged. He
waB rearrested immediately on the
chnrgo of having forged Wootton's name
to a draft for $1,100, ond wns convicted.
The case wns appealed, and it dragged
along as such cases will where thero Is
money enough to keep up tho interest of
tho lawyers, and only last month I saw
a dKpatch in tho Times-Herald to tho
effect that ho had been taken nt last to
prison to serve out tho long-delayed sent
ence. Tho hunt for William Wootton has
not been abandoned. Some aro searching
for his skeleton; others expect that ho
will return some day and remove tho
stigma from Sanders' name,
. o
Tho story, ns told by tho evldenco In
this case, Is extraordinary, nnd, ns Judge
Hensbaw nsserted In his charge, In somo
respects It Is without parallel. Tho de
fendant, Sanders, Is a man GO jcars old,
who has resided In California for moro
than half of his lifetime. Ho was prom
inent In educational circles, and for
many jears ho had been a teacher in tho
schools of tho state. Ho was well edu
cated and possessed moro than a local
reputation ns an agriculturist and horti
culturist, and as a business man his word
was considered as good as any form of
security. Ho wns married, nnd tho fa
ther of children, who wero growing up
about him In bis homo In Fresno coun
ty, where ho had lived for many years,
and whero he seems to havo enjoyed, up
to the time of Wootton's disappearance,
the regard and respect of his neighbors.
Wootton was unmarried, and lived upon
his land with only his hired man. Sand
ers nnd Wootton wero friends. Somo tlmo
prior to Wootton's disappearance Sanders
purported to net as an agent for a cer
tain John Knausch of San Francisco,
who was contemplating tho purchase of
tho Wootton land. Acting, as he rep
resented, for Knausch, Sanders mado an
examination of tho land, platted It, show
ing its sources of water supply, fences
and other Improvements, describing tho
naturo of the soil, in short, collating
such Information as a purchaser unfa
miliar with tho property would care to
possess. This Information ho sent by let
tor to Knausch. Wootton wns reluct
ant to sell, and Sanders, by, letter, sug
gested to Knausch that when ho should
como to bargain In person with Woot
ton for the property it would bo well
for him to bring $20,000 In gold coin, tho
sight of which would tend to exclto
Wootton's nvnrlclous naturo and stlmu
ate him to sell nt a bargain. Knausch be-
ins uiuamuiar wan the Wootton land
Sanders also suggested to him, that when
no came, ho should not drive directly to
tho Wootton house, but should proceed
up a alley In tho southern slope of tho
;rmJ. a,v.. tho bUfr' thcro nnd cross
tho high hill that Interposed between tho
valley and Wootton's house. By this
modo of approach ho would bo enabled
to take a comprebenslvo lew of the
property, and thus sao much tlmo which
would be spent otherwise in travel and
inspection.
0
On rob. 1, lsoi, Sanders was at Woot
ton s house and waited tho coming of
Knausch, as ho claimed In tho evidence
At noon Rohloff, tho farm hand, came
In from the field. Tho dinner was eat
en, and Rohlolt went back to his work
Sandnrs agreeing that when he should
leave for homo ho would tako somo sacks
of seed grain to him upon his buck
board. After Rohloff bad gone John
Knausch appeared, accompanied by a
man named Graves, tho two havinir
crossed the hill. Tho subject of tho salo
or ootton's ranch was speedily
broached There was somo haggling 0".
er tho price, when Knausch opened his
valise and poured tho gold upon the ta
ble. Wootton became greatly excited and
agreed to trade. Tho papers were pre-
P .0n th,1 8po.t- Wotton took tho
$20,000 In gold and a check for $25 000
Ho was to nccompany Sanders and
Knausch to Tresno, whera it could bo
cashed. Knausch and Graves left tho
house, walking back over tho hill to
the valley, whero they had left their
vehicle. Sanders harnessed his mules to
his buekboird, loaded tho seed grain
for Rohloff, and drove down tho road
accompanied by Wootton. The money
was In tho valise at Wootton's feet.
Rohloff had used up his seed grain and
ho noticed Sanders driving hurriedly
down the road. When he reached tho
spot where the grain was to be un
loaded Sanders climbed over tho seit of
the buckboard, holding the reins In bis
hand, and without dismounting from tho
vehicle kicked nnd thrust tho sacks to
the ground, some of them striking the
uui ui-u-w iro icnce. Tne buckboard was
then driven hurriedly by Sinders to a
gate, which was closed. Hero Sanders,
dismounted, opened tho gate, drove
through, closed tho gate, and then
climbed Into tho buckboard and drove
off, not onco during these operations re
leasing his hold on the reins. Rohloff
noticed that Wootton. whose habit It
wns never to leave tho ranch without
Informing the hired man of tho date of
his return, sat stiffly In the seat, star
ing straight ahead.
When Sinders drove away from the
field Rohloff looked nt his watch. It
was Just 1 55 p m. This was the last seen
of Wootton. A mllo down the road two
farmers plowing nenr tho country road
saw Sanders, nnd they testified that he
was driving alone. Ono of the farmers,
Wiseman by name, chnnced to bo look
ing at his watch at the time. It was
2 05 p. m Within the Interval of ten
minutes Wootton had disappeared as ef
fectually as If tho earth had suddenly
jnwned and engulfed him. Tho caso
has another mysterious side. It wns
brought out during tho trial that no one
In tho oountry had ever seen Knausch
and his friend Graves. Sinders testified
that ho had known Knausch for many
j ears and had "grub-staked" him In
the early days when Knausch was a
miner and Sanders a school teacher. De
tectives scoured tho state for Inform
ation regarding Knausch, but the search
was In vain. They could find no one
who had ever seen or heard of tho man.
Tho theory nnd arguments of the prose
cution, then, was that Knausch and
Graves wero myths; that Wootton was
done to death by Sanders on the first
day of Tebruary, 1891, and his body con
cealed; that each and all of these acts
were part of a preconceived and elab.
orately executed design to obtain the
property, real and personal, of William
Wootton. But tho law emphatically says
that before a man can bo convicted It
must be clearly made out that there was
a murder. If it was a murder the cor.
