"Mr Hans p. Andersen, late secretary
of our Young Mems Institute, has re-
turned from Europe i'll greatly improved
health. He appears strong and vigorous,

Judgment and sound sense, and won

citation is to be congratulated in securing
as its General Secretary not only one of
the ablcst but one of the most modest
men in the sccretarial force in this coun-
try. We wish him every kind of success
in his new field of labor"

A Tarly Explanation.

BALTIMORE, October 11.-The omis-
sion Of the South in the present tour of
delegates to the Pan-American congress
has been so generally misunderstood
that Walker Blaine of the department of
State writes to X. H. Edmonds, editor OF
the Manufacturers Record, to the effect
that in the original planning of the pro-
gram of the convention, it was intended
to give the delegates an excursion to the
South. In his letter he says: 1t is pro-
posed to visit the Southern States later
in the season when the weather will be
more favorable and various, and the
peculiar industries of those States can be
seen to better advantage. As this nation
covers an immense expanse of territory :;
and as it is the desire that the distingu-
ished visitors shall be given an oppor-
tunity to see it all, it was necessary to
divide the tours, and each section be
visited when its peculiar industries could
be seen to be the best advantage.

A WESTERN PALACE BURNED.
StuCIebaker's 100000 House at
South Bend Destroyed.


South BEND. Ind, October 9.-The
magnificent stone house OF Mr.. Glenn
| Studebaker, and which cost about $780,
900, was almost entirely destroyed by
fire this morning. The residence was one
of the largest and costlieSt in the West.
1t was built of Indiana field stone, with
tile roof and copper facings, and the in
terror was finished in the costlieSt of
native and foreign woods, while it was
| furnished in the richest style throughout
The art gallery, on the third floor, was
| filled with rare works of art, and all
these were destroyed. Mr.. Studebaker is
absent as a member of the International
American Congress, and was to have
entertained that body in this house on
the 10th inst. The rest of the family,
except Mrs. Studebaker and her grand
child, are away from home.
Mrs. Studebaker discovered the fire at
O'Clock this morning in closet OPP
posite Mr.. Studebaker's den" and un-
der the rear stairway. 1t was evidently
caused by spontaneous combustion Of
some oil rags which painters had been
using and thrown in there. Next to the
closet was the elevator shaft reaching to
the roof, and by this the flames shot up
and spread all over the building in an
incredibly short time. The servants had
narrow escape, and Mrs. Studebaker
herself was found out on the terrace
nearly inscnsble and dangerously burned
and cIasping her grandchild i'll her arms.
Owing to the careful manner IN which
the structure was built and its supposed
security from hre, Mr.. Studebaker car
ried but S25,OOO insurance.

We acknowledge an invitation to be
present at the magnificent exhibit of the
industries of Knoxville to take place very
soon in the present month. The idea is
characteristic of the energy, ambition
and just pride of the city, which in some
particulars, has no equal in the South,
and in all respects is moving onward
with such rapidity as will soon place her
alongside of her present foremost rivals.
Nowhere has the recuperation of the
South being more brilliantly signalized
than in Knoxville; nowhere has the new
spirit of southern energy and ability to
deal with the new problems presented to
the people of the South been so splendidly
illustrated and nowhere have the young
men been so magni6cently foremost i'll
treading the new fields of enterprise and
ambition.

Distressed IOhnstOwn.

JoHNsTowN, Pa, October 1.-THE
State forces are preparing to close up
their work tomorrow, and quit for
good, Three bodies were found this
morning by workmen while making all
opening to .the sewer outlet. 1t seems
hard to stop work at this stage with the
stream full of dead people; but the fiat
has gone forth, and work must cease.
1t is reported that the Cambria Iron Co.,
here will declare an advance in wages
within few days. This, it is said, is
justified by the advance in the price of
iron and steel. The Building and Loan
associations here are in a hourishing con-
dition. Money was sold at NEE ling
at one of them at 2S per cent premium.

North State: General Chalmers has
declined the Republican nomination for
Governor of Mississippi. He says the
white people are throwing such obstacles
in his way that he cannot hope to be
treated fairly.
Now, he and his friends will proceed to
Washington and play theroll of martyrs.
This is the old story. The general run of
office-seekers in the South care nothing
about their party. They want to play a
big hand at Washington. That is all
they are after. Thepeople ought to take
hand and place this class OF gentry
where they belong.

State was represented by Hon. W. H.
Bower, Solicitor.
Several ladies, relatives of the prisoner,
were in court. The prisoner was calm
and composed, and has evidently stood
his confinement well. He is fine looking
specimen of physical manhood, being
fully six feet high, with blue eyes and
dark brown hair, weighing about 175
pounds, and is % years old. He is The

was perfect silence in the crowded court
room, showing that intensc interest III
the trial is manifested by our people. 1t
was q noticeable fact, however. that not

gle Juror was disqualified on account OF

the prisoner.
Your reporter regards this as the high

are conservative i'll the speculative de-
gree, and willing to wait the decision of
the law before passing an opinion ad-
verse to the accused, whatever may be
the charge under which he may be in
dicted
