4 MISSING CORPSE,
Two CitIssns of Bingbampton, N. ", sus
pscIen Of Rnhhinz a Eraxn

pscted OF EobDing y Grave.
Binghamptou, N. Y, was considerably
excited some ago by what was supposed to
be an attempt to desecrate the tomb of the
Phelps family one of the finest In that
part OF the state. 1t now seems that a
body was stolen, and it is believed that the
ghOuls have been discovered at last.
For some time past q suit for &, 900 has
been in progress, this sum being claimed
by DR.. II. o. Ely for embalming the body
of Robert by his wife's orders, After
making the contract Mrs Phelps too died,
and her immense property went to her
father, William Z. Taylor, already very
rich man. Mr.. Taylor set up as defense
that the enbalming was badly done. He
retained az counsel Mr.. Dan Richards and
began fight. If tho body could be got
az, all the facts ia the case could be proved
or disproved, bat the grave kept the secret
ard not until the affair before mentioned
did the real facts concerning the state of
the body become known. Even then no
one dared mention the names Of Richards
and Taylor, as both are very rich and
influential.
Detective Black, a very shrewd man,
however, is working the matter up. After
getting all the proofs he could possibly
outside, he went to these men and told
them he was about to expose them. He
demanded hush money. The bait took
and both came down, it is said, hand
somely. With the bribe as proof of the
guilt, Black went to District Attorney
Curtis, who set secret inquiry iu opera
ton. Robert the Oldest son of Richards,
was subpenaed as well as his inmate
friend, Samuel Rogers, both widely known,
Rogers being the son Of Judge Rogers.
Jhes3 YOung men have hean nverheard
talking over the plot of Richards, sr.,
and Taylor, and when both knew that the
jig was up, made clean breasts and impli-
Gated all the parties suspected.
The case is very bad one in all its do
tails. Mr.. Curtis, the district attorney,
has the name of prosecuting TO the full ex.
tent OF the law, and 1t looks bad for the
accused, hitherto among the most re-
speOted in the southern tier.

The Alabama Legislature.

The Alabama House OF Representatives
organized Wednesday by selecting Ii G..
Armstrong speaker The governors mes
sage is exclusively devoted to state mat
tsrs. 1t shows the financial condition of
the state to be good, and that all the state
Institutions are in prosperous condition.
II refers to the flight of the late Treasurer
Vincent aud to the futile attempts mado
to capture him. The governor urges the
Legislature to be- prudent in legislation,
and rather deprecates the idea of a reduo
tiou of the rate of state tax. The Uni.
versity Agricultural college and insane
hospital have all been nearly doubled in
capacity. More than half of the donation
of 4, 600 acres of land for the benefit of the
university has been located. The schools
have increased in numbers and efficiency
from the Appropriation of the last Legisla
ture. The blacks, he says, are getting
their full share Of schools, according tc
population.

THE New York san calls Mr.. Chair.
man Jones "that smoke encrusted
troglodyte from Pittsburg - which is
pretty hard on Jones. We know that it
must be something very bad to be a
troglodyte, though we cannot Just now
say exactly what it is. We Judge that it is
bad because of the Sun's opinion that the
troglodyte character of Jones' prevented
him from being good chairman for
Blaine. 1t is bad thing for a chair
man, who isn't a trOglodyte, to be smoke
encrusted, because chairman ought to
see clearly. Pittsburg people don't see
anything clearly but iron. Yet it is to
be said for Jones that Blaine could not
see much more in the canvass.
He planted himself on pig
iron. was felled by pig, squeals
as he dies, and dies like a stuck pig,
We are convinced that Jones and Blaine
were too piggish altogether, and are
smoke encrusted troglodytes together
Mr.. Jones has thus far been an esteemed
citizen Of Pittsburg and has much
money. Mr.. Blaine has been distin,
guished citizen, who has made much
money. Neither has anything now but
his money left to him.

FIhE LAST MONT,
Fordpeys Ice House destroyed uy the
FLAMES.

Fotdpey'A Ice House destroyed Dy the
Flames,
Last evening about 3 O'Clock an alarm
of fire was sounded from box G2 located at
Green and Christian streets. 1t was caused
by the burning Of one of p. B. Fordnsy's
large ice houses, which was situated at
Reigart's Landing, ON the Conestoga creek,
just back Of Woodward Hill cemetery.
The fire department went to the scene but
they were too late to save the building
which was burned down to the walls in a
short time. The building was empty at
the time. The fre was the work of an
incendiary, and it was discovered by a man
residing in the vicinity who started the
alarm. The loss will be $500, and there
is no insurance. Mr.. Fordpey has been
very unfortunate with his ice houses at
this point several having been burned by
incendiary fires. Mr.. Fordney complains
bitterly In regard to the conduct OF the
fremen. He says they did not even go
out as far as the fire was but stopped on
this side some distance Had they gone out
they would have been in plenty of timo to
save considerable of the property.

M0man's ReSD ODsibjiIty.

The supreme court of Kansas has
taken great step forward in its deter.
minatioh to amelorate the lot of the
married man. Under the old common
law the wife's existence was merged in
that of the husband aud she could do no
legal act without her husbands sanction,
and could be guilty of no wrong without
the supposition being exercised in her
behalf that she was at the time
under the coercion of her husband.
This state of affairs resulted from the
fact that in the old feudal days the
power of the human was measured by
his strength of arm, and woman being
the weaker vessel was assigned to
menial service, while her lord and mas
ter fought in the baronial wars. Thus
it was that her acts were regarded as
those of dependent serf for which her
husband could be held responsible.
This idea has pervaded and affected
the English law of the married woman
ever since and the fact that she has had
no legal existence apart from her hus-
band has been the cause OF many hair
splitting distinctions. But the supreme
court of Kansas has shown disposition
to grapple with the question in a man
ner most commendable. They have
announced that a husband is not liable
for slanderous words uttered in his
absence by his wife, " Her brain and
hands and tongue are her own, and she
should alone be responsible for ISLANDERS
uttered by herself" This seems to be
excellent law as well as splendid COM
mon sense. The present day sees
woman far different from the old feudal
times, the social aspect of her existence
Is enlarged ald she enters largely into
fields at one time regarded as exclu-
sively masculine. There is, therefore,
no reason why the law should not be
altered to meet the changed conditions,
aud the supreme court of Kansas has
done wholesome work in inaugurating
the new departure.

The circuit court Of the United States
n California, has lately decided that a
1Uhinaman born in this country ia q citi-
Son OF It. The decision was written by
yustice Field, Of the United States su
preme court, and was concurred In
by the circuit judges and the district
Judges Of Nevada and California.
xhs language Of the constitution
they construed is that "all persons born
or naturslized In the United States,
and subject to the jurisdiction thereof,
are citizens Of the United States" The
question was rs to the reason for the
detection of the qualification "subject
10 the Jurisdiction !" and it was argued
Shat children Of aliens were excepted by
lt. The court in its decision held that
only the children of the diplo-
matte representatives of other govern.
ments can be held to be born in this
country without its jurisdiction )" and
tsst the excepting clause was intended
TO embrace these, and also those children
born here who afterwards might have
expatriated themselves.
This unanimous decision of the court
recommends itself by its manifest
soundness. 1t makes citizenship of the
country the birthright of all born In it,
oave the children of the servants of for
elgn governments, except Indians. The
supreme court has excluded them under
. decision just rendered in which it
holds that one who was born as q mem.
bar of one OF the Indian tribes, which
still continues as a tribe, is not entitled
tothe rights of citizen, though he has
separated himself from his tribe. These
decisions do not seem to harmonic, and
perhaps the supreme court will reverse
the California decisions. 1t should not do
80, because there is no good reason why
an Indian should not have a right to cit
izenship, when he claims it, as the origi-
nal tenant of the soil; his rights upon
It are superior to ours, il there is any
virtue at all in being born upon the soil,
rs the laws hold that there is inrequiring
naturalization to put the foreign born
upon plane with the native born. 1t is
time, now that the negro is admitted to
citizenship, to throw open the gates tc
the citizenship to at least every Ameri
can born citizen; and-we see no gooC
reason why the same law Of naturalza
tion should not embrace every race o.
the world.

Mr.. BLAINE lost his cunning when
he failed to accept quickly and grace
fully the Inevitable. He has been con-
sidsred, heretofore, to be a man of
extraordinary quickness of perception,
and of remarkable agility in adjusting
himselfto circumstances. His failure
to do so now indicates either great
weakening of his intellectual force, or a
wholly desperate feeling that with this
election lost, he is political corpse
with nothing to hope for and no induce
ment TO uphold himself before ths peo.
pie.
