Boston, Dec. 10. The Globe says:
'Mrs. Luetgert, the supposed victim
of the sansage-maker murderer, so-
called, in Chicago,is alive and well.
Mrs. Luetgert was seen in this city
during the month cf July, acknowledg
ing her identity, besides giving more
Oi less explanation relative to the
reasons which caused ber to leave her
husband, who is again to be tried for
his life."
Such was the startling declaration
made by John SchoGeld, of St. Louis,
to a Globe man. Scbofield supple

the positive assurance that Mrs. Luet
gert waa-at the house, -No. 7 Bullfinch

days during the middle of July last.
Mo saia ne bad gained tne assurance
of the fact that Mrs. Luetgert while
in Boston acknowledged her identity,
with the assurance that she left her
husband because of his actions with
otber women, as well as tor reasons
which she thought would balp in his
financial embarrassmsnt in business.
He further asserted that he believrf
Mrs. Luetgert was still in Boston, and
that she woul'l yet be found.
The Globe has interviewed Mrs.
Moss, of No. 7 Bullfinch place, who
says that the woman supposed to be
Mrs. "Luetgert went by the name of
Millie Barker. One day the woman
seemed distressed, after reading an
account of the trial of Luetgert, and
when questioned by Mrs. Moss said:
"You would be surprised if I told
you who I am."

Lightship Launched.
Portland, Dec. 12. Lightship No
70 was successfully launched front ih
ways at WolS & Zvricker's yard, at
11:30 yesterday morning, and is now
moored at the contractors' wharf wait
ing to receive her boiler, masts and
spars. Three thousand people, stand
ing on the East Water-street elevated
roadway, the roofs of surrounding
buildings and the Madison and Morri
son street bridges saw her enter the
water. Not an accident nor a hitch
marred the event.
Shortly after 11 o'clock, Miss Dorcas
Merrell, who had been requested by
the contractors to christen the vessel.
mounted the platform at the bow, ac
companied by ber mother and father,
Commander John P. Merrell, inspec
tor of the 13th lighthouse district. F.
Wolff presidentof the Wolff & Zwicker
iron works, and a number of invited
guests were also on the platform. Tak
ing the champagne bottle, which
was suspended by a red, white and
blue cord from the starboard bow, in
her hand, she made ready for the mo
ment when the ship should start.
"Meanwhile, both ax and lever had
manfully been plied," and in a few
minutes those on deck felt the vessel
shiver a little and then, by watching
stationary objects, they saw that she
had started. When she was a yard out
of port on her first voyage, Miss Mer
rell held the bottle high above her
head and cast it energetically at the
retreating ship. - It was shattered into
a thousand fragments, and the light
ship was "numbered."
While the crowd cheered and waved
hats, umbrellas and handkerchiefs, the
Harvest Queen and the iron works
tooted their whistles, and some one on
board clanged the fog bell, the big
ship slipped gracefully down the ways,
and striking the water with a great
splash, shot out a little way from shore
and lay gently rolling in her own
swell. She had barely reached deep
water when the anchor was let g, and
she stopped sharply at the end of the
chain, to wait for the Harvest Queen's
assistance to the wharf.

Pitiable If True.
New York, Dec. 10. The Journl
and Advertiser says:
Weyler's policy of extermination,
which he called reconcentration, has
resulted in an enormous influx of
Cubans into New York. Hundreds if
not thousands of them are dying of
hunger here. The number of these
refugees is variously estimated from
12,000 to 20,000. Perhaps the great
majority are absolutely without means.
There are men and women among
them who were worth thousands of
dollars before the war began, but are
now penniless. Some of these are
working as waiters, porters or seam
stresses.

as inimical to their interests, and he
favored its repeal or radical modifica
tion. He declared that the president

of tbe people. Republicans and tbe
press of bis district bad denounced it.

Other News.
Victoria, Dec. 13. By the steamer
Topeka. from Dyea, news is received
that more than 1000 ill-provisioned
men stampeded from Dawson during
the latter part of October, and im
pelled by the haunting fear of famine
are now madly forcing their way over
the mountains.
Auk, the Indian mailsarrier. who
brings this repot t, left the Yukon cap
ital fully 10 days after the Dalton
party. He says the vanguard of the
terror-stricken army is following less
than a week behind him. Auk, de
clares that fully 23 per cent of the
stampeding Army will never live to re
cite the terrors of their flight from the
north.
Dyea parties headed by George F.
TJlmer, hope to go to the relief of the
hungry men at Dawson. They will
make the United States government
an offer to deliver 50,000 pounds of pro
visions within 50 days after starting
for Dawson for the snm of $75,000.
They already have 50,000 pounds of
provisions cached at Lake Bennett,
which they will take into Dawson this
winter. Ulmer will go south by the
next steamer to lay his proposition be
fore the secretary of war by wire.
It is stated that material for the pro
posed railroad over Taku pass has
been shipped from the East.
The steamers Bella and Weare, it
now appears, did not land more tban
100 tons of provisions on their arrival
in Dawson in the early part of October,
owing to their haviog been held up at
Circle City.
The only bright view of the present
situation is that the trails crossing the
pauses above Dyea and Skay way have
lately ' been greatly improved and
within a month will be in excellent
condition.
WITH PAN DO IM PURSUIT
Gomes Flees to the Mountains of Paerto
Principe.
Havana, Dec. 13. Via Key West,
Dec. 13. It is officially announced
that the Spanish column under com
mand of General Pando, in the prov
ince of Puerto Principe, has been
pushing the insurgent leader, General
Gomez, so closely that he was obliged
to seek refuge in the woods and mount
ains.
The commissioners sent by General
Pando to different parts of the island
with instructions to negotiate with
the insurgents for their acceptance of
the autonomous feature of the gov
ernment proposed by Spain, have not
returned in a single case, which seems
to confirm the report that some of
them have been hanged by the insurg
ents, and tbat others are rorced to re
main with the enemy.

this afternoon by his father, Colonel
P. A. Baker. They were shooting at

Baker's turn came, be called to his son
to shade the target, so he could see
the bull's-eye better. The young man
stooped over in front of the target to
pick up a board, when the colonel's
gun, an old muzzle-loader, was acci-
dently discharged. The ball entered
the young man's shoulder in the soft
part of the bone, and plowed a hole
through it. The injured man was
taken to the Oregon City hospital.
The attending physician thinks Bakers
arm can be saved.
Priest Tarns Protestant.
Green Bay, Wis., Dec. 13. There
were no services Sunday in the "old
Catholic" church of this city. Rev. A.
Miller, the priest of the parieb,
has resigned his charge and has ac
cepted the Protestant faith. Rev. Mr.
Miller states that he resigned because
the congregation was not willing to
accept and abide by the "old Catholic"
reforms. These he specifies as the
introduction of public confession, in
stead of private confession, and the
abolition of the order of the Virgin
Mary. Other than becoming a Prot
estant he gives no plan for the future.
Boys and Girls Aid Society.
Supt. Gardner, of the Boys & Girls
Aid Society, of Portland, is in town,
having brought up a little girl for Mrs.
Thorburn, of Kingsley, and will return
ith six children, two girls and one
boy, the children of I. V. Howland,
who went to the penitentiary recently
for selling land that was mortgaged.
Also three boys named Adkins, who
are voluntarily surrendered by their
mother to the society.
They have about 12 children placed
in homes, in this county, not counting
those adopted. The children are
placed with tbe following persons
John Brookhouse, of Dufur: A. S
Blowers, Hood River; Frank Carlton,
Hood River; H. Chittiden, The Dalles;
H. E. Driver, Wamic; W. W. Free
man, The Dalles; J. C. Gilbretb, The
Dalles; I. J. Hart, Hood Hiver; W. D
Kelly, Hood River; Jas. Kelly, Kings-
ley; J. Stein, Tygh; Mrs. Thorborn,
Kinesley.
The Boys & Girls Aid Society has
taken a large number of destitute and
abused children ..from this county at
different times, and this saved the
county considerable expense, as well
as the public considerable annoyance,
And since the legislature failed to ap
propriate anything for charitable in
stitutions, this society la the only one
that will accept children outside of
Multnomah county, but with them
there is no red tape, whatever, they
only require to knoiv that they are in
need, and they are looked after.
They bave a fine building, well ar
ranged for the comfort of the chil
dren, until they can be placed in
homes, where they have on hand from
2o to 40 little ones. It seems tbat, at
this time, they bave a hard time to
exist. This county pays their $10 per
montn, and tbe superintendent is
looking for voluntary subscriptions
s
any amount, Mr. Gardner makes hi
headquarters at Blakely Sc Houghton
drug store, where be can be seen on
business either today or tomorrow.

NAMES OF CHILDREN
Custom of Baptismal Cbrlatenlns;
tsd OUO
Besulfa of Mistakes.
Down to the early p -rt of the present S
century it was usual t name a . cluld '
after the saint on whose day ho hap-;
pened to be born. A writer to rfotcn.
and Queries in 18S3 states that he had .
recently baptized n child bv the name '
of Benjamin Simon Jude. On his ex
pressing some surprise at this some-
what singular conjunction of names. "
he was informed that the birth hud.
taken place on the festival of SS. t
Simon and Jude, and that it wasaK
ways considered very unlucky to fcike
the day from a child. " ' '
The custom of naming children after
any particular saint has fallen into
general disuse, except In those coun-
tries where the nonnlation la ct0oaiMl
almost entirely of Roman Catholics. J:
really no essential part oi the rite, but
is merely a custom derived apparently '
irom tne Jews, and which throutrh
long practice has become an important .
element in the ceremony.
Many instances migUt' be furnished
of children who haver inadvertently re-.
ceivea wrong names. The registers in '
Warminster church contain the follower
ing entries: t
"1700, January 17, Charles, daughter
Of John and Bettv Ualnea. This child
ought to have been christened I'har--
Iotte, but owing to a mistake of the T '
sponsors, it was wrong named." .'. .-
"1791, July 31, William, daughter of
William and Sarah Weiddick. N. B. ' A
It was intended that this child, being a , I
girl, should have been christened I
Maria, but through s mistake of the
godfather it was named William." ' . . pV
Ceased Operations. .
The Dalles Steam - LavMdry- hsi
closed because of ihe lack of patron-
age. The laundry opened nere last
May, but has neyer received enough '
work to make it a profitable " invest-- 1
ment. Why this is no one can ex- r
plain, for there is certainly enough
work here for a laundry, as some $400
goes to Portland each month for laun
dry work. This should be kept at
home, and would be if people practic
ed religiously the principle of patron
izing home industries.. The laundry
will likely open again next spring
and should it, there ought to be in
cient patronage - to keep it going. ' A
laundry capable of doing the business
of this city would employ not less than
20 hands, and their wages distributed '
in the city -would be of considerable,
importance to the town. ' . ,
