RICHARD CHOKER HOME

.___———

Tammany Chieftain Returns F01
Greater New York Campaign.

HAS VERY LITTLE TO SAY.

He Thinks, Though, His Organization Will
Win and That People Are Not Will-
ing to Stand Successive Re-
form Administrations.

New York, Sept. 8.—Richard Croker
arrived in New York today on the
steamship New York from Southampton.
The boat anchored in Gravesend bay
at an early hour and then went up to
quarantine. Two hours later Mr. Croker
was in the city. His Tammany follow-
ers did not expect that he would reach
New York before noon, so he was greet-
ed at the dock by only two or three per—
sonal friends, who had been notified
early in the morning that the New York
was at quarantine. Up at Tammany
hall a crowd gathered at 9 o’clock, pre-
pared to go to the dock to welcome the
real head of the organization. They
were much disappointed when they
learned that he had reached the city
one hour previous. I

Mr. Croker was not inclined to talk
politics when he was questioned by the
reporters. He said this much, how-
ever:

“I have not the slightest doubt that
Tammany Hall will carry the greater
city- by 50,000 votes and upward. New
York never had one reform administra-
tion after another. One such govern-

 

RICHARD CROKER.
ment‘appears to be all the people can

The present so
called reform administration has been
chiefly noted for its increase of the tax
rate, accompanied by a higher appraise-
ment. If there has been any corre-
sponding improvement in the quality of
the government, the people have net dis-
covered it."

“Then you think the people are again
ready to intrust the reins of government
to Tammany Hall?”

“Yes. And why should they not be?
Tammany Hall always kept the taxes
down. It managed the government hon-
estly and economically. That was be-
cause Tammany is a practical, not a
theoretical, body. We are workers, not
dreamers. Tammany believes and I be-
lieve in the widest personal liberty con-
sistent with good order and govern-
ment.

Tammany’s Critics.

“Some people think Tammany is bad,
very bad, but, as a rule, they are peo-
ple who live at a distance and who trust
to hearsay. New Yorkers know better.
They know that if Tammany were the
corrupt, degraded, horrible monster
some people try to make it out it would
have been throttled long ago. No such
wicked men as we have been pictured
could live and maintain their influence
year after year in New York or any
other free American city.’f

“And are you to be the Tammany
candidate for mayor?" Mr. Croker was
asked. '

“I have nothing to say on that score,”
Mr. Croker replied.

Concerning Seth Low’s nomination by
the Citizens’ Union, Mr.-Cr0ker had lit-
tle to say.

“I can’t criticise Mr. Low," he re—
marked. "I may have something to say
about this nomination later.”

Mr. Croker repeated emphatically that
he recognized John C. Sheehan as the
leader of Tammany Hall, and he declin-
ed to say whether he thought that the is—
sues of the last national campaign would
figure in the coming local fight. Mr.
Croker talked freely about his horses.
He said he had a good season in Eng-
land and expected to go there again
next year.

The only persons who met Mr. Croker
at the pier were his wife and son and
Henry D. Hotchkiss, Michael T. Daly,
Peter F. Meyer and Edward C. Sheehy.
After shaking hands with them he
watched the customs inspectors exam-
ine his baggage. He did not have any-
thing on which duty could be collected.

John C. Sheehan arrived at Tammany,
hall early. He had intended to go to the
pier to meet Mr. Croker, but the latter's
early arrival prevented him from doing
so. Sheehan and Croker had a confer-
ence later.

A Warning From Prince Bismarck.

Paris, Sept. 8.—The Gaulois today
prints an interview with Prince Bis-
marck in which he is quoted as having
expressed fear that the efforts made at
Peterhof were so much wasted time.
What was required, the ex-chancellor is
said to have added, was a serio 5, ac-
tive agreement with a well defined pro-
gramme and much clear sightedness
and tenacity to achieve a result where-
by the pretensions of Great Britain
could be stayed.

Somerset, Pa., Sept. 8.—President and

THE TERMS OF PEACE. '

The )Iarqnis of Salisbury’s Proposal Ac—
cepted by the Powers.

Constantinople, Sept. 8.-The Marquis
of Salisbury's proposal for the consti—
tution of an international commission
representing the six powers, to control
the revenues with which Greece will
guarantee the payment of interest to
the holders of old bonds, as well as
payment of the indemnity loan, has
been accepted by the powers. The only
remaining question is the dates for the
payment of the indemnity. The powers
desire to insert these dates in the
treaty of peace, but the British embas-
sador, Sir Philip Currie, suggests that
they leave the dates to be determined
by the international commission. The
embassadors expect that all the details
of the treaty of peace will be settled on
Thursday next.

London, Sept. 8.—The Marquis of
Salisbury’s latest proposal for the set-
tlement of the terms of peace between
Turkey and Greece is generally regard-
ed as a victory for German diplomacy,
and much bitter feeling is displayed in
England over the British premier’s al-
leged backdown. , The control of the
Greek revenue in the interest of all the
creditors of Greece, as well as for the
security of the loan to Greece for the
purpose of paying her indemnity to
Turkey, was what Germany was hold-
ing out for. _

 

Lord Salisbury’s proposition, accord-
ing, to the correspondent of The Times
at Constantinople, suggested the con-
stitution of an international commis-
sion representing the six powers, under
whose control Greece shall place her
revenues, guaranteeing the interest to
the holders of old bonds and to the
holders of the bonds of the indemnity
loan, this step to be followed by the
prompt evacuation of Thessaly by the
Turkish troops.

 

,The Government of Crete.
Khania, Island of Crete, Sept. 8.—The
Turkish gendarmerie has been placed
under the command of officers of Eu-
ropean gendarmeries, the powers paying
the expense and receiving therefor half
of the customs revenue.

 

The Porte’s Note Delayed.

Constantinople, Sept. 8.—The embas-
sadors have decided to defer until the
peace treaty is signed the discussion of
the Turkish Ogovernment’s note .an-
nouncing the appointment of an Otto-
man governor of Crete and its intention
to retain the Turkish troops in Crete.

 

LABOR IN DER " YUKON.

A Prospector \Vrites of His Experiences
In the Goldfields.

Springfield, 0., Sept. 7.+Joseph Fitz-
gerald, who formerly lived in Syracuse,
and who is now in Dawson City, writes
to his mother in this city under date of
iuly 10. The letter is in part as follows:

“I am working every day for hire at
$10 a day. I will go to work this winter
at the mines at $15 a day and have it
steady for eight or ten months. I have
just come back from the mountains,
where I staked a claim. I think I told
you about meeting three boys from
Syracuse, one named McGink and two
named Leslie. One of the Leslie boys
was killed two days ago. A storm blew
a tree down on his tent, and it crushed
him, killing him instantly. His brother
is prospecting somewhere and doesn't
know of it. My partner and I were out
prospecting and were caught in the
same storm that night in the moun-
tains.

“I am going to pard with a man by
the name of Stafford. He is from Au-
burn, N. Y., and about 40 years old. We
will build,a cabin and live together this
winter unless I make different arrange-
ments. He has a claim next to mine on
Hunter creek. We went out together.
It is very hot at present, as hot as I
ever saw in Springfield, and the mos-
quitoes are terrible. I have killed 50
or 60 at one slap. At times I could not
touch with the point of a pencil a place
on my hands or face that was not bit-
ten by them.”

 

 

The Carson Mint Case.

Carson, Nev., Sept. 8.—Judge Hawley
has decided the famous Henri case in

mediately after he was sentenced to

erty to his attorneys. The government

.the assignments should stand.

Sausage Manufacturer’s Amatory
Epistles Read in Court.

DAMAGING TO THE DEFENSE.

while Admirer \Vas Only Asking For
His. Own Money—A State \Vltncss
Who Did Not Pan Out \Vell.

Chicago, Sept. 8.—When Luetgert, the
alleged wife murderer, entered Judge
Tuthill’s courtroom, he smiled and
nodded at the jury, .but failed to extend
the sweep of his smile to the crowd.

The first business taken up was the
reading of translations of the letters
written by the defendant to Mrs. Chris--
tineFeldt. The reading of the fond
missives sent by Luetgert to the widow
occupied much time, several being very
lengthy.

While Assistant State Attorney Mc-
EWen read the epistles the jury listened
carefully. The reader was careful to
place due emphasis on each endearing
word or phrase and to fully emphasize
all reference to the fact that the big
sausage manufacturer was anxious for
the time to come when he would be
free to wed the object of his affections.
When those portions. of the letters con-
taining reference to Luetgert’s trouble
in engaging an attorney were read
aloud, it evidently embarrassed the
prisoner.

Luetgert’s leading attorney, ex-Judge
Vincent, smiled and the prisoner visi-
bly winced when the sentence was read
in which Attorney Vincent was termed
”greedy.”

Vincent Ronndly Roasted.

The letter continued to state that
Luetgert intended to release Attorney
Vincent, as he did not consider him
able to handle so important a case.

In another letter Luetgert wrote to
the effect that on the first day of the
trial there was to be a great surprise
for the police and the state. An attor-
ney of worldwide fame was to be en-
gaged, and when “the dogs of the po-
lice" saw who it was they would quail
with fear. This as yet unknown law-
yer, Luetgert continued, was to super-
sede Attorney Vincent, and then the
case would be properly conducted.

Attorney Vincent shock with silent
laughter several timcs during the abOVe
and similar references. He seemed to
regard the matter as a huge joke.
Luetgert. whose chances for life were
so considerably reduced by the intro-
duction of the letters as evidence,
rocked to and fro in his chair, and or:-
casionally forced a sickly smile during
the endearing passages! in the letters.
He evidently did not enjoy the public
exposition of his amatory correspond—
ence.

After the letters were all read the re—
cipient, Mrs. Christine Feldt, a middle
aged widow, was called to the witness
chair for the purpose of finishing her
testimony for the state.

Mrs. Feldt’s Admissions.

She admitted that Luetgert placed
$4,000 cash in her hands for safe keep-
ing before he went to jail and that this
was the money which Luetgert referred
to in his letters. She had put it in a
safety deposit vault and paid it out in
taking up a mortgage for the prisoner
and for lawyers’ services.

The defense allege that Mrs. Feldt
cannot produce any receipts for this
money. The witness admitted that she
had gone to Luetgert's house after Mrs.
Luetgert's disappearance and had su-
perintended his household affairs for
some time after his arrest.

Attorney Vincent had said before the
opening of the trial today that it would
be shown that the prisoner gave $4,000
into Mrs. Feldt’s keeping, thinking it
would be safe with her. Luetgert had
no receipt for it, and alleges that he
wrote endearing letters to her hoping
to get his money back.

The attorney also said that A. W. C.
Grottey of New York would swear that
he saw Mrs. Luetgert on Broadway on
May 7, nearly a week after her disap-
pearance.

Nicolaus Faber, a laborer, testified
that he saw Luetgert and his wife go
into the sausage factory on lie night
of May 1.

Much was expected by the state from
Faber’s testimony, but he proved a dis-
appointment. He acknowledged having
told reporters that he was not near the
factory on the night of May 1.

Tree to Pray and Sing.

Elizabeth, N. J., Sept. 7.--P. Johnson,
76 years old, an eccentric hermit who
died yesterday at a little hamlet called
Unionville, back of the road leading to
Summit, came from Connecticut ten
years ago after the death of his wife.
He leaves a brother, who is a farmer
near Union and to whom he has not
spoken for' years. Johnson was a. vet-
eran of the late war, having served in
the First Connecticut heavy artillery,
and drew a pension.

After coming to Unionville he refused
to associate with any one. He walked
to the Union postoffice every three
months and received his pension. His
only companions were a cat and a few
chickens. He was found dead by neigh-
bors. on a 60 foot hickory tree near his
hut were a number of ladders, lashed to
the tree. Johnson used to climb at all
hours of the day and night to the top
of the tree, where he would pray loudly
and sing old fashioned hymns.

The grounds and fences about the
place are covered with signs which he
painted in big black letters. On the
fence near the road is a. sign which
reads, “If you hitch here, I’ll cut you
clear.” Over the gate is a huge sign,
“Infidelity is a through ticket to hell
without change of cars.” At the side
of the house is a sign six feet in length
on red poles, “Pride shuts the door of
heaven and opens wide the gates of
hell.” Over the Well are the words,
“Glory be to Jesus.” On the top on the
woodhouse a sign stands clear and
bold, inscribed “My righteousness in
the sight of God is as filthy rags.” The
hermit was short of stature, wrinkled
and bent. and wore a full, shaggy
beard. Arrangements Were made for
the funeral in the old Connecticut
Farms church.
