A SERIOUS CHARGE.

Au Insurance Company Imposed Upon
by Some One ana Pay a Bogus Loss.
For some days rumors of very serious
character have been in circulation, touching
the character of Mr.. l. F. A. Studdart, well
known insurance agent of st. Paul. How
much of truth or falsehood there is in these
reports, it is difficult to state as Mr.. Studdart
is confined to his room with severe illness,
and is not in condition to say anthing,
and all others Immediately interested in the
alleged transaction decline to say any thing.
The substance of the charge is that the New
York Life Insurance company, insured man
in Hennepin county for the sum of 5000,
and subsequently Mr.. Studdart reported the
man as dead, when he was not dead, but
living, and obtained the amount
of insurance above named, which was, in due
time, paid over at the First National bank in
st. Paul. It is alleged that the way in which
the transaction came to be placed before the
public is, that the man who was insured,
seeing his death in the report OF the death
rate of the insurance company,
went to the local agent in
Hennepin county and Informed the agent that
he was not dead, but was still living, and
likely ito continue to live for some time
longer. The agent reported this extraor-
binary statement to the company at New
York, the result of which was that the papers
were forwarded to Mr.. Studdart, the state
agent of the company to investigate. Still
later, DIR. Carney came on from the home office,
and continued the investigation. The result
OF all this was that it was clearly shown that
q bogus death loss had been paid.
The GLOBE Investigations develop that Mr..
Studdart claims that he was himself imposed
on and that he spleads guilty to neg
lgence, but denies all criminality. He has
given the company his note for the amount
secured, by mortgage, so that they are fully
re imbursed, and It is understood that there is
not likely to be any legal proceedings in the
matter. Sensational papers may attempt to
magnify the matter, but the above will be
found to be the plain facts

The Reservoir Improvement.

Mr.. Charles Wanzer, engineer in charge oil
the government reservoir work at Lake
Winnebagoshioh, is in the city visiting his
family. Mr.. Wanzer repudiates the reported
discomfort of the Chippewa Indians in and
about the lake on account of the improve
ment, aud laughs at the idea of any interior
ence on their part with the work. Mr..
Wanzer acknowledges, however, that the
Indians are not entirely satisfied with the
award made them for damages, and desire to
send delegation to Washington to secure a
reconsideration OF the award, but their action
in this matter has been temperate, in no way
indicating disposition to retard or interfere
with the Improvement.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-In the Christiancy
divorce suit the testimony of ex-senator
Christiancy is being taken. In connection
with it several important letters have beer
put in evidence, among them a long letter
written by Christiancy on the 18th of August
1878, to his wife's father, Mr.. John w. Lu
genbeel, with regard to Mrs. Christiancy's
alleged bad conduct.
1t begins with reference to the correspond
elce between writer and Mrs. Lugenbeel be-
fore their marriage-correspenden IN which
Christiancy says he endeavored carefully and
scrupulously to convince her that she ought
not to marry him, and in which he insisted
many times she should reconsider the matter.
He admitted he loved her, AID said if, after full
aud mature consideration, she still Insisted to
marry him, he would consent. She declared
she still wished him to make her his
wife and as gentleman he had only one
course to take. The marriage took place, and
ii the love which she professed for him had
really existed, nothing, he says, could have
made him happier. On the morning of the
wedding, however, she heard of the return of
Jas. Lugenbeel and tainted. When they
reached Philadelphia and were alone she told
him she had been engaged to Lugenbeel, that
the engagement had been broken off and she
did not know how deeply she loved him.
She said she had perjured herself in her
marriage vows, was miserable and wanted
divorce forthwith. When they returned 10
this city all went we'll until she met Lugen-
heel in the art gallery, and from that time she
seemed to be detected and miserable, and
again asked for divorce.
Soon after this Frank Anderson became atten-
tive to her and her affections seemed 10 attach
themselves alternately to him and to LHgen.
beel and again came frenzy for divorce. Fin
ally she quieted down and appeared to think
more of her husband. After she returned
home in August, 1876, her love for Anderson
broke out afresh and her hatred for her hus-
band increased. She also had fondness for
Register, of Baltimore and for Mayo. She
often declared she wished her husband dead
and said he was all that stood between her
and happiness.
Christiancy then refers to the fact that his
wife went to Healing Springs in preference to
going to Saratoga or Kansas with him, and
says he felt suspicious that she had gone to
the Springs with some old lover. When she
wrote him she tainted him with being old;
Gld not pretend to love him; that she would
spend all the money she pleased; that she
would run him in debt and that she wanted a
divorce. The husband replied that he would
not quarrel with her nor would he be ruined
in the way she proposed.
