EASTERN DISPATCHES.
Clem Studebaker's Residence
Destroyed by Fire.
A COSTLY PILE OF RUINS.
Mrs. Studebaker Narrowly Escapes
With Her Life-Other Items
of Interest.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD. |
SOUTH BEND, Ind, October 9.-The
magnificent stone house of Glenn Stude-
baker, which cost about $500, 900, was
almost entirely destroyed by fire this
morning. The residence was one OF the
largest and costliest in the West. The
interior was finished in the costliest OF
native and foreign woods, while it was
furnished in the richest style throughout.
The art gallery was filed with rare works
of art, and these were all destroyed.
studebaker is absent as member of the
International Congress, and was to have
entertained that body in his home on the
10th inst. The rest of the family, excep,
Mrs. Studebaker and her grandchild,
were also away. Mrs. Studebaker dis.
covered the fire this morning in closet
under the rear stairway. 1t was evi-
IDENTIFY caused by the spontaneous com.
bustion of some oil and rags the painters
had used and thrown in there. The
flames spread all over the building in an
incredibly short time. The servants had
q narrow escape, and Mrs. Studebaker
herself was found on the terrace nearly
inssnsible, dangerously burned and
clasping her grandchild in her arms.
Owing to the careful manner in which
the structure was built and it's supposed
security from fire, Studebaker carried bu'
$25 900 insurance.

COREAN RELATIONS.
Alleged Difficulties with the C1

Alleged Difficulties with the Chi.
nese Legation Denied.
WASHINGTON, October 9.-Dr. Allen,
Foreign Secretary to the Corean EN-
bassy, expects to start on business trip
to Cores in regard to matters for the
legation. He will stop in Ohio q few
days to see his family, and will then pro-
ceed to San Francisco, taking the first
steamer to Hongkong. In conversation
about the relations existing between the
Corean and Chinese legations here, and
rumors that the United States proposed
sending an envoy to investigate the situ-
alton as to the exact relations of the two
countries, he says:
IT wish they would, and thus set at
rest all these idle rumors. But If there
is such a step contemplated we have no
intimation from the State Department
to that effect. We certainly would be
consulted in regard to the matter.
"The only mention have heard of it
was from Admiral Shufeldt, who, it ia
iptimated. you say, is to be sent on the
delicate mission, which is rather gugges-
tive. The retired Chinese Minister was
on the very best terms with our legation,
and there has not been any mention
lately of any objection to Corea having q
representative there.
GAS to the new Minister and Prince
PAX, there is the most cordial friendship
existing between them, even more 90
than was the case with his predecessor.
I think all the present discussion springs
from the meddlesome activity of either
of the United States in the employ OF the
Corean Government. They are JUS
about finding him out, and will no doub
soon dispense with his peculiar service. D

CHICAGO, October 9.-Hyde Park so

elopement of Emmett G. Green, until
lately manager of big cattle company
in Wyoming and at present engaged in
the real estate business in Hyde Park,
and whose residence is in that fashion
able district. with Mrs. g. E. Bartell,
wife Of his half brother. About two
weeks ago Green told his wife that he
would run out to his ranch for short
time. The day after he left Mrs. Bartell
told her husband she wished to visit
friends in Indianapolis, and left the same
day. Green wrote his wife from Omaha,
telling her that he would 90 on to the
ranch, and enclosing her key to his box
in safe deposit vault.
A day or two later servant found in
Mrs. Bartell's room letter to that lady
from Green, couched in the most endear-
ing terms, and the secret was out. On
opening the box in the safe deposit vault
Mrs. Green found letter from her hus-
band, saying that he never expected to
return; that he had paid up all his debts
and had but little money left, and advis-
ing her to sell the house she was living
in. No trace has yet been found Of the
couple, although an active search is being
prosecuted.

there attaches . presumption Of constitu-
tionality, and the burden of showing 1t
to be Unconstitutional is upon him who
assails it. "No such acts should be an
nulled by the judiciary as opposed to
fundamental law in doubtful case. The
questions are whether the prisoner has
overcome the presumption that the
statute Of 1888, in regard to the infliction
of the death penalty, providesa cruel and
unusual, and therefore unconstitutional
punishment, and that force Of electric
ity sufficient to kill any human subject
with celebrity and certainty, when scien.
tifically applied, cannot be generated. In
my judgment these questions must be
answered negatively before that statute
can rightly be abrogated. There should
be judicial knowledge that the punish

usual. There is no such knowledge, and

A RAILROAD SENSATION.
Rumors Of a Gigantic Transconti
nentai Scheme.

RumOrg OF q Gigantic TF0mscOmtns
mental scheme.
CHICAGO, October ga dispatch from
Milwaukee says q private letter written
by President Colby, of the Wisconsin
Central, to a stockholder of the Northern
Pacific road, reveals gigantic railway
consolidation which will connect the two
oceans and revolutionizs railroad traffic.
The consolidation of the Wisconsin Gem
tral and Northern Pacific systems to an
amicable traffic agreement was the first
step. Henry Willard, through an alliance
with Charles and Joseph Colby, has OBJ
tanned a majority of the stock of the
Northern Pacific, and sensation in rail-
road circles is promised within the next
ten days. Henry Willard will be restored
to the Presidency of the Northern Pa
cifc, and one of the greatest railway con-
solicitations of the world will be
contaminated.
THE SANTA FEE IN THE POOL.
Even now contracts have been signed
whereby the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road enters into an agreement with the
Consolidated Wisconsin Central and
Northern Pacific lines connecting the
two oceans. The Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe system is also in the deal,
reaching Mexico and Southern Cali
fornia. Chicago will be made the center
for operating the three great railway
lines. The Northern Pacific will be ex-
tended from Puget Sound and built into
Alaska, making q continuous line from
New York to Sitka.
sss. A DENIAL BY THE B. 4 o.
BALTIMORE, October 9.-Regarding the
great railway consolidation scheme re-
ported from Chicago, First Vice-Preei
dent Orlando Smith, Of the Baltimore
and Ohio, said this morning that there
is nothing in it. He believes the cause
of the rumor lies in the fact that while
the Baltimore and Ohio inspection party
was in Chicago recently they looked
over the terminals of the Wisconsin
Central Company there.

An Important Decision Affecting

DENIsoN, Tex, October 9.-The Su.
preme Court Of Chickasaw Indian Nation
has given decision. sustaining the Leg
islative amendment to the Constitution
in regard 10 squaw men, or white men,
and the rights they acquire by marrying
Indian women. The whites claim under
the Constitution that they have the
same right to hold property or
Office or vote as the In
dams. This decision will operate
directly against the white man, and will
cause trouble, and will prove the prime
factor in the movement to throw open to
settlement all of the lands Of the Chick
asaw and Choctaw nations west OF the
ninety-sixth parallel Of latitude. Fully
eighty per cent of the inhabitants Of the
Chickasaw country are white, and they
will petition Congress to allot them lands
in severalty, which means the complete
disruption Of the Indian government.
