Sir William Gordon Cumming Mar.
ried

Sir William Gordon Cumming was
married Wednesday morning in the fash
ionable Holy Trinity church at Chelsea.
to Miss Florence GARNER, daughter of the
late Commodore William Garnier Of New
York. Lord Thurlow gave the bride
away. Major vesey Dawson Of the Cold
stream Guards was the best man. Tho
Rev. Robert Eyton officiatcd.
Only twelve PEOPLE were present at the
Ger emoaies at HOLY Trinity. Tho bride
looked charmingly happy and Sir William
was proud looking, cool and entirely self.
possessed. There was no trace In bis
personal appearance of depression or
emotion resulting from tho verdict Of tho
previous day in the Court o: Queens
Bench.
When tho verdict was pronounced
against him, Sir William Gordon Cum
ming again offered TO caaccl his engage
ment 70 Miss GARNER, but that lady, be-
lieving in his innocence, would not heur
to such q thing and insisted that the mar
riage take place ut once. II is expected
that Sir William and his wife will visit
the United States iu the autumn.
Sir William attributes tho verdict en-
ttrcly to tho summing up and the charge Of
Lord Chief Justice Colcridge.

The New 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 lust received . long
dispatch from his home stating that
ground had been broken at Toleston, In
diana, for the new stockyards in
which he, MIR. Morris and MIR. Swift arc
Interested.
I'VE have 1000 acres OF land there he
said, "where we propose to establish
packing houses and stockyards. We have
fine railway accommodations, pure water
and excellent sewerage. We shall not be
cramped for room As at tho old stockyards,
which are altogether out Of place in such
close proximity TO tho best part Of Chica-
TO. Wc propose to issue slo, ,GoC, 900 of
stock which we will divide among the
packers aud dealers who follow as to our
new quarters. The proceeds Of tho sale
Of this stock will enable up to put up all
the necessary buildings and improvements
upon our lsnd."
"Will tho other packers follow your cx-
ample and desert the old stock yards :"
asked tho correspondents
They cannot help Themselves" said
Mr.. Armour. 1--WE three practically con-
troll the business; the others must follow
Besides, It is to their own interest In tho
old stock yards the charges arc 30 high
that 1t scarcely pays to do busincss thcre.
We shall be able to give accommodations
n, much moro moderate rates. You see,
tho old stock yards, which cost originally
about 81 ,ooo,ooo, were sold some months
ago to an English syndicate for go. 0oO, ,0oO
The investors want 10 get their interest on
this immense sum, consequently high
charges are ecessary."

THE NEW LAND COURT.
The President Appoints the Five
Justices.

SoSuSCSs
President Harrison has appointed
the Judges Of the new Court Of Private
Land Claims, as follows:
Joseph X, Reed of Iowa, to be chief JUS
tice.
Wilbur F. Stone of Colorado, Henry C.
Sluss Of Kansas, Thomas Fuller Of North
Carolina and William NJ. Murray Of Ten
pessee, TO be associate justices.
Matthew C. 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 q representa-
tive of the Denver Republican:
Although it Is designated as the Court
OF Private Land Claims it was estab-
llshed to pass upon what are known as
Spanish land grants. or course it would
have jurisdiction over any land claims tnat
emenate from foreign grants OF any kind.
Tue need OF such a court has been agitated
In congress for many years. So long ago
As Judge Symes was member Of the
lower house he fought valiantly for its
establishment. Bills for that object have
been Introduced only to be scuttled be-
fore reaching harbor. Finally. after much
Joint session, pas sed the bill Just before its
demise.
lowing to q broad generosity, I
suppose, the new court was given
Jurisdiction over three states aud
territories, Colorado. Nevada, Wyoming,
and Utah, Arizona and New Mex
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 ho,bed for them, and
Colorado's share Is confined to the south
Of the Arkansas river.
The iivo justices con.t titute . court on
the model OF the Supreme Court They
will sit and act together, but their dis
erection is SO wide and elastic that they
will probably be able TO delegate certain
| portions of their work to q part Of tho
body. As the dispatch says, the court is
TO have the services of United States
attorney, bu; it will be served by the
United States marshal in whose district
ii sits. Tho especial work of the court il
10 determine upon the validity of the
Spanish grant as opposed to or conflicting
with the United States grant When nrst
devised the bill was intended TO settle sll
disputes under the grants, bat as estab-
lished the court will have nothing TO do
with conflicts between individual owners
and claimants. The latter will have TO be
taken to the federal or state courts.
Tho cour, was established for five
years, from the passage OF the bill, on the
theory that the controversy arising from
grants can be settled in thatspscc. What
method or course we will follow 1 cannot
say until I hear from the others offcislly.
The salary OF the Judges IL 5000 . year.
