WANTS HIS slRrARleAr.
Story of Peter stehle and His wanderings
That Reads Like Romance,


CoLUMBUs, Ind, June 19.-One of the
most interesting cases ever brought in
any court in this part of the state is that
of Peter f. Stehle against Victor Kiser,
young man of this city. In 1850, in
Cincinnati, Peter Frederick Stehle and
Frances Beeser were married and ten
months afterwards the plaintiff in this
action was born. Ayear afterwards the
father and mother quarreled and sepa-
rated, the father going to California and
the mother remaining in Cincinnati,
where she procured divorce and mar
ried man named Shafer, which name
young Stehle's mother transferred to
him, that his identify to the father
might be obscured in after Efe
Four years afterwards, however, the
father returned TO Cincinnati, and kid
naping the young boy, fed to Philadel-
phia. The mother pursued, and in the
courts there obtained possession of the
boy, and through the advice of her at
torney took him to Germany, where he
was placed in school and educated.
When II years of age he returned
to Cincinnati, and for the first time
learned his proper name, which he dis
carded, retaining that of Shafer. He
then began the study of law, and when
he had completed it located in Houston,
Tex, whe he now resides. He and his
mother believed that the father was
dead. By the death of Shafer she again
became widow, and some time after
ward married man by the name of
Tielmer, with whom she is now living
in Cincinnati.
During all this time Stehle worked at
his trade, that of baker, in this city,
and accumulated q fortune of about
100000 In his peculiar way he went
about the city dying in September last,
at the age of "a, after lingering illness,
during which time he was cared for by
young Kiser, to whom he willed all of
his property. A notice of it appeared in
The st. Louis Globe-Democrat at the
time and reached young Stehle at his
Houston home. He at once came to
this city and brought suit to set aside
the will, the trial of which is now on.
The mother and her first son met in this
city Monday night, the first time in ten
years.

Prices Very High-Russia Has Plenty hut
Duties Keep IL Ont.
Advices from Berlin say that the price
of corn continues to rise, and that in
some of the more densely populated To-
calities, the scarcity amounts to fam
inc.
Socialist meeting at Dortmund, Tues
day night, almost broke ont into q riot,
the people demanding the suspension OF
the corn duties SO earnestly as to pro-
woke the attention of the police. 1t Is
said that vast quantities of corn are
stored at various places on the Russian
frontier awaiting the lifting of the
duties, in order to enter the German
market.
Caprivi fears that this Russian corn
would come in such quantities as not
only to supply present needs, but also to
destroy the future trade IN German
corn. Every day along the Russian
frontier throngs of Germans pass over
the line to the Russian villages in tho
vicinity, and there make purchases at
much cheaper rates than in Germany.
They are permitted to cross the frontier
without the annoyance Of an inspection,
provided their purchases come within Q
certain amount, made free by law. Thh
amount is, however, quite Large enough
for family for day or two.

THE BRIDGE DISASTER.
Further Details of the FrightfuI Wreck
in Switzerland.

Further Details of the Frightful Wreck
in Switzerland.
BERNE, June 1S.-Further details from
the scene of the terrible railroad ac-
Cident which occurred Sunday at vii
lage near Basel, on the Moenichenstein
and Basel railroad, show that two en-
gines and three carriages loaded with ex-
cursionists fell into the stream that flow
ed beneath the iron bridge which gave
way and caused the disaster.
These carriages and engines now form
a shapeless heap of wreckage beneath
the bridge structure, and, by its own
size, prevented two other carriages
which were suspended practically in the
air from falling and still further increas-
ing the number of killed and wounded
The number of killed is now placed at
1870, with 800 more or less injured.
OF the large number of persons hurt
many have suffered so seriously that it
Is considered likely that their injuries
will terminate fatally, as they consist of
bad lacerations, and in some cases limbs
have been severed. The bridge or
viaduct which collapsed and caused the
accident had only recently been built,
and had just been strengthened after
sustaining damage by the rising of the
river.
An official account Of the disaster
says there were no foreigners among the
victims. The Jura and Simplon Rail
way company, it is said, will have to
pay at least 1000, 900 francs insurance.
The firstclass passengers killed include
M. Dubreck, director of the Jura and
Simplon railway; Sidney Vogel, of
Basic, and family Professor Dubrell
and other well known personages.
