Adolph Luetgert, who was serving t life sentence in the Illinois State peni tentiary at Joliet for the murder of his wife, Louisa,, died suddenly at a few minutes before 7 o'clock Thursday morn­ ing. The probable cause of his death was heart disease. It was thought at first that he might have killed himself, but the prison phy­ sician, after examining the body, con­ cluded that death resulted from natural causes. There were no indications of poisoning, nor were there any marks on the body. To all appearances Luetgert had been in the best of health, although he had been suffering from rheumatism. The chaplain of the prison said that in the several talks he had with the pris- P ADOLPH L. LUETGERT. oner he had always declared hi's inno­ cence of any crime. He was confident he would be vindicated in time and that the Supreme Court would grant him a rehearing. He frequently spoke about his case and all his thoughts seemed to be upon it. The warden and his deputies all pronounce Luetgert to have been a well-behaved prisoner. The only trouble which they ever had with him was a little argument he got into with a repre­ sentative of a large packing house over the meat furnished. He had to be placed in solitary confinement as a punishment for his condnct. Luetgert's passing away marks the closing chapter of one of the most grew- some murder mysteries in the annals of criminology--his debt to the law which was fixed by a jury at life imprisonment has been wiped out.

Ullses Heureaux, president of the Dominican republic, was assassinated at Moca, Santo Domingo, Wednesday after noon. Several at­ tempts formerly have been made to kill him. The mur­ derer, Ramon Ca- ceros, made his es­ cape. The death of Gen. Ulises Heureaux has cast a gloom over the entire Dominican Government. Immediately up­ on the announce- ©EN. HKUREATNC. ment of the president's death Vice-Pre»- ident Gen. Wenceslao Figuereom assum­ ed control of the government of the Do» minion. Several attempts have begn made be­ fore to take the life of President Heu­ reaux, but they were frustrated. On one occasion while passing through the arch­ ed entrance to the palace between lines of guards his quick eye caught one of the soldiers, who appeared to lower his rifle in his d|rection. Quickly pulling a re­ volver he shot the man dead in his tracks, passed on to his private office, where he gave orders to remove a dead man lying at the main entrance. Gen. Heureaux was born in Porto Plata in 1846 and served in the war against Spain from 1868 to 1874. Later he was put at the head of, the advanced Dominicans, who sought to improve their country by inducing foreign capital to lo­ cate on the island. As he advanced all the wealthy inhabitants joined his forces and when he arrived at the gates of the historic city of Santo Domingo he was chosen president of the republic and serv­ ed his term of four years. At the ex­ piration of every four years an electoral college assembles in the city to vote for a president for the following term, but owing to Gen. Heureaux's popularity and ability he has always been unani­ mously re-elected and was serving his fifth term. ALASKAN MATTER BRIGHTENS. Mr. G. D.

A perfect carnival of violence and bloodshed is raging in Georgia and Ala­ bama. Murders, assaults on women and shooting affairs are reported from all di­ rections, and at various places troop3 are under arms to protect prisoners from the fury of mobs. Prominent physicians blame much of the violence on the pro­ longed heat. The trouble in Georgia be­ gan with the assault on Mrs. Ogletree at Saffold and it continued with unabated fury for six days, during which four ne­ groes have been lynched, four persons killed, one woman assaulted and numer­ ous attempts made to lynch alleged crim­ inals. Only the action of leading citizens of Bainbridge prevented the lynching of John Wjlliams, a negro accused of as­ sault. Three hundred men, armed with dynamite and carrying telegraph poles for battering rams, were marching to the jail whpn Judge Bower and two other men stopped them and pleaded that the law be allowed to take its course. There­ upon the mob disbanded, only to gather again at daybreak. The mob was pre­ paring to attack the prison when the Valdosta and Thomgsville militia com­ panies, which had been ordered to the scene by Gov. Candler, arrived and dis­ persed the mob. MRS.

There died a few days ago in Terre Haute, Ind., an unassuming man who left behind him a diary covering fifty year's of active life. The book would not make exciting read­ ing, because it telle only the simple story of, a man who did his duty faith­ fully and without fault.

In that year- Congress passed a bill authorizing President Grant to appoint a civil service commis­ sion. The members of this first commission were George William Curtis, Alexander G. Cat tell, Joseph Medill, D avidson A. Walker, E. B. Ellicott, Joseph o. w. CUKTIS. H. Blackfan and David C. Cox. In 1850 competitive examinations of applicants for certain positions were begun in a lim­ ited way, but it took twenty years of agi­ tation to induce Congress to act. In Eng­ land free, open competition throughout the public service was established in 1870. The civil service commission of 1871 dopted rules governing the examination of candidates, which were in force until Congress refused to make an appropria­ tion for the work, and President Grant declared them temporarily suspended in 1875.
