(By Associated Publishers’ Press.) Washington, D. 0., Sept. 29.—Comp- troller Fitch, of New York City, has had probably as unique a political ‘rec- 0rd 'as any man in public life. A life- long Republican, he was elected to Congress in a strong Democratic dis- trict, changed his political belief, ow- ing to divergent views on the tariff, and was re-elected to Congress as a Democrat, and later became the or- ganization candidate for Comptroller; ' now he is renominated for Comptroller of the big city by the Republican Con- vention. . Senator Quay’s continued stay in Florida is causing much comment. In spite of the-fact that there are impor- tant political contests going on in Ohio, Maryland and Kentucky, as well as local contests in his own State, Pennsylvania, the Republican leader has announced that he will not return East until the latter part of October. It is announced at the White House that President .McKinley will ‘not leave for Washington probably until Wednesday afternoon; arriving in Washington Thursday morning. It is said there will be no appointments an- nounced from the White House until the President’s return. ~ - The Comptroller of the Currency an- nounces that the Niagara County Na- tional Bank, of Lockport, New York, has elected Ransom Scott president, in .place of Thomas Flagler, deceased.

At the Post-Office Department it is said that the bond is one of the largest given by any postmaster in the country, being in the sum of $175,000, and is signed as sureties by a large trust company of Philadelphia and by ‘two of Philadelphia’s leading business men. It is understood at the Post- Office Department that Postmaster Hicks will assume control Thursday. The Post-Office Department refuses to divulge the names of either the trust company or the individual sureties. " Post office at Massawepie, St. Law- rence County, N.

Chicago, Sept. 29.——The defense in the Luetgert wife-murder case began to present its expert testimony Tues- day. ‘Dr. Bernard L. Reise, whose rep- utation is quite as undisputed as that of any of the State's experts, was on the witness stand all the morning and part of the afternoon. As was ex- pected, Dr. Reise’s testimony, based on his experiments with the boiling of human bodies in ,the same vat said to have been used by Luetgert in killing his wife, was contrary to the theory of the prosecution in all mater- ial details. In the first place, he de— clared it wasimpossible to heat the potash solution to the boiling point in the vat. He tried it repeatedly and failed. Dr. Reise further sought to deny ,the truth of the State’s hypoth- esis by testifying that the solution had absolutely no effect on artificial teeth; that all the pieces of the skull remained in shape, and that parts of the spinal column, forearm and heel were also found in the bottom of the vat. Armadale Updike, a peddler, ‘esti- fied that he saw Mrs. Luetgert on June 9 near McHenry, Ill., forty-five miles from Chicago, and one or two witnesses added their testimony to- ward impeaching Emma Schimpke, who swore she saw Mr. and Mrs. Luetgert enter. the sausage factory to- gether the night of May 1.

His Wife Says He Will Surrender to the Authorities. Wurtsboro, N. Y., Sept. 28.-—No trace has been found of Wallace J. Christ- ian, the contractor living on the estate of the Sullivan County Club, near this place, who shot and instantly killed Horace F. Pritchard of New York, and mortally wounded Constable Thomas J. Manny, as related in these dis- patches. Mrs. Christian, the wife of the fugitiVe, declares that her husband shot in self-defence. “He has gone,” she said, ”to Monticello to give himself .ip." She admitted reluctantly that her husband was arrested last Fall in New York city for knocking down the elder Pritchard with a. club. She also admitted that Christian’s temper had brought him into trouble with most of the persons he had dealings with, and that on more than one occassion he had beaten her. Mary Christian, the sixteen-year-old sister of the mur- derer, who lived at the cottage where the shooting took place, left here on, the early train for Yonkers. The girl refused to say anything. There are numerous rumors as to Christian’s whereabouts. Three resi- dents of this place declare that they saw him sneaking along on.the out- skirts of the village and making tow— ards the mountains. Another man declares that a. person answering Christian’s description boarded an On- tario and Western train at Summit— ville. Sheriff Watson, however, has no definite traces to work upon. The men who are hunting for Christian are going cautiously, as the murderer is reported to be wearing a cowboy’s belt containg six pistols and a. dirk. Ac- cording to Manny’s ante-mortem state; ment, without stopping to take aim, without giving the two men a moment’s chance to move or beg for mercy, Christian levelled his revolver- and fired at Pritchard, who fell head' first from the wagon with a bullet- hole clear through his body. Manny by this time had the whip in his hand, and just as he lashed the horse Christian’s second bullet struck him in the small of the back and came out through his abdomen. Manny fell forward on the road beside Pritchapd end the horse tore off into the brush. Boys’ Circus Disastrous. Cuba. N. Y., ‘ 'Sept. 29,—Edgar Ketchum, 12 years old, now lies at the point of death, and Reynold Smith, 11 years, is terribly burned about the mouth as the result of a desire to be- come professional sword swallowers and fire eaters. The boys were giving a circus in a barn. Young Smith saturated a piece . of cotton with oil, set it on fire and put ‘ it in his mouth. He burned himself badly. Ketchum wanted to back out of his sword-swallowing act, but the boys yelled “Coward!” and the youth took a paper cutter fourteen inches in length and jammed it, down his throat. He fell to the floor, a stream of blood spurting from his mouth. Physicians say he cannot live. After Adirondack Lands. Albany, N.
