Lady Cumming pispleases Her Family

Tho New York Herald has been re.
quosted by member of the Garner family
whose action has the approval oil tho
whole connection, to print the following
statement.
Several papers have by mistake stated
that one OF Miss Florence Garner's NOW
Lady Gordon Cumming) sisters was
present ut her marriage. The eldest,
Nine. La Marquise De Brctull, is nt pres
cnt In New York with her husband. The
youngest Miss Edith Garner, is at Vienna
with her aunt, Mrs. Lawrence. The fam
Wy wish TO roc,ify this mistake, and also
to state that no one OF Miss Gamers rc-
lationA was present at her marriage. II
IN needless To add that, being OF age, ahc
took this step against, tho wishcs OF her
entire family"
Tho meaning OF this more than startling
announcement, Is nj once apparent. From
n Il is evident that absolute social ost. a.
rism is tho penalty which tho young wife
mus, pay-nothing less 1t is n ..lai
pronunelamcnto, from which there car DO
no appeal.

The t,ew Packing House Scheme.

Mr.. p. ID. Armour OF Chicago is at
Carlsbad with his invalid wife, on account
of whose health he went to Germany. Mr..
Armour said he had Just received long
dispatch from his homo stating that
ground had been broken at Toleston, In
diana, for the new stockyards in
which he, MIR. Morris and Mr. Swift are
interested.
I'VE havo 1000 acres OF land there" ho
said, "where we pr oppose to establish
packing houses and stockynrds. We have
fine railway accommodations, pure water
and excellent sewerage. We shall not be
cramped for room us at the old stocky ards,
which are altogether out Of place in such
close proximity to the best part of Chica-
20. We propose to Issue $4,000, GOO OF
stock which we will divide among the
packers md dealers who follow us TO our
new quarters. The proceeds OF the sale
of this stock will enable up TO put up all
the necessary buildings aud improvements ts
upon our land"
"Will tho other packers follow your cx.
ample and desert the old stock yards i'i
asked the correspondent.
"They cannot help themselves" said
Mr.. Armour. 1--WE three practically con-
troll tho business; the others must follow.
Besides, 1t is to their own interest. In the
old stock yards the charges are SO high
that 1t scarcely pays to do business there
We shall be able to give accommodations
OF much more moderate rates. You see,
the old stock yards, which cost originally
about q, 900, 600, were sold some months
ago to an English..syndicato for $50. OOU, 900.
The investors want to get their interest on
this immense sum, consequently high
charges are necessary"

An Excursion Train Falls Into a River
and Many are Killed.

Further details received from the
scene of the tcrriblo railroad accident
which occurred on the l4th at village
noar Basle, on the Moenohenstcin 4 Basle
railroad, show that two engines aud hve
carriages loaded with exoursionists foil
into tho stream which flowed beneath the
Iron bridge which gave way and caused
the disaster
Tho first engine had passed over the
abutment safely, but was dragged back
by tho second engine, when tho whole
fabric collapsed, the engines and train
toppling into tho water. The first engine
went into the river chimney first, and
turned over on its side. The second fell
vertically, and remains standing upright
In the stream. Five carriages were
thrown into the water and were reduced
to u mass Of wreckage. At the portion
where the accident occurred the river 10
only four feet deep. All who were killed,
from seventy TO eighty, were crushed TO
death.
When the work Of recovering tho bodies
was begun, seventeen bodies lying close
together were first taken up and laid In an
adjacent orchard. As the wreckago was
cleared away, the bodies Of the dead were
found close together In CHASTITY confusion
in one almost inextricablc mass Of debris.
Most Of tho bodies recovered wore
dreadfully mutilated. A dead mother was
found holding in her arms her lifel6ss
babe, while another child &Asxshss her
body. Several other family groups were
seen joined by a common fato.
Some estimates place the number Of
deaths ut over ono hundred.

Stealing From School Teachers.

Last Tuesday night during tho
rendition Of drama by the North Texas
Female College at Sherman, while all tho
pupils and teachers wcro absent from tho
college buildings, some one entered tho
college library and stole $1,000, $500 Of
which were checks. The money had been
collected by a member Of the faculty who
takes charge Of the finances from the pupils
who were paying their tuition and getting
ready to leave for home. Professor
Powell placed the funds In n chalk box
ut dusk anl secreted II in the library ready
to pay the teachers the next morning. He
believes some one saw him go in with the
money. The door was locked aud entrance
would have TO be made ut window.
Bloodhounds would not take to the trail,
probably because rain fell aftcr the rob-
berry. Tho mayor and officers have worked
hard to detect the guilty party or parties
but in vain.

THE NEW LAND COURT.

Justices.

rhe President Appoints the Five
Justices.
President Harrison has appointed
the judges of the new Court of Private
Land Claims, as follows:
Joseph II. Reed of Iowa, TO be chief JUS
tice.
Wilbur F. Stone of Colorado, Henry @.
Sluss Of Kansas, Thomas Fuller of North
Carolina and William M. Murray Of Ten.
nessee, to be associate justices.
Matthew G. Reynolds Of Missouri, to be
United States attorney for the Court Of
Private Land Claims.
Judge Stone, the Colorado appointee, In
speaking of the court, said to representa-
tive Of tho Denver Republican:
although 1t Is designated as the Court
Of Private Land Claims,' 1t was estab-
lished to pass upon what are known as
Spanish land grants. or course 1t would
have jurisdiction over any land claims that
cmenatc from foreign grants Of any kind.
The need OF such court has been agitatcd
In congress for many years. So long ago
rs Judge Symcs was member Of tho
lowor house ho fought valiantly for It's
establishment. Bills for that object havo
been introduced only to bc scuttled be-
fore reaching harbor. Finally, after much
pulling and hauling, the last congress, In
Joint session, passed the bill just before its
demise.
Sowing to broad generosity, 1
suppose, the new court was given
Jurisdiction over three states and
territories, Colorado. Nevada, Wyoming,
and Utah, Arizona and Now Mox-
leo. characterize that broad
sweep Of Jurisdiction as generous, because
! do not believe the Spanish grants or any
other foreign grants are to be found out
side Of New Mexico and Colorado. New
Mexico is the hotbed for them, and
Colorado's share is confined to the south
Of the Arkansas river.
''The five Justices constitute q court on
the model Of the Supreme Court. They
will sit and act together but their dis
cretion is SO wide and elastic that they
will probably be able to delegate certain
portions OF their work to part Of tho
body. AS the dispatch says, the court Is
to have the services Of United States
attorney, but it will be served by tho
United States marshal in whose district
1t sits. Tho especial work Of the court is
to determine upon the validity of tho
Spanish grant rs opposed to or conflicting
with the United States grant. When first
devised the bill was intended to settle all
disputes under the grants, but as estab-
lishcd the court will have nothing to do
with conflicts between individual owners
and claimants. The latter will have to bo
taken to the federal or state courts.
