Eight years ago, Henry Brubaker, a well-to-do farmer, of Perry township, suddenly and mysteriously disappeared.

He then thought of home once more, and concluded to atone for his past conduct by dividing with his family the fortune he had acquired. But when his wife told her story four years of waiting and sorrow, and, finally, a happv, contented life by the side of her second husband, Brubaker found, too rate, that gold cannot purchase true happiness, and he concluded not to disturb her home which he had left so frivolously.

PAN-AMERICAN SIGIIT-SEERS Look at America's Big Cotton Thread an d Silk Mills and the Colt Gun-Works. Foreigners and Americans Surprised at the Capacity of the Factories Exhibition of Galling and Rotchkiss Guns. Hartford, Conn., Oct 9.-rThe train bearing the pan-American party from Portland reached the Union Station in Worcester, Mass., it 5 o'clock this morning, two hours ahead of schedulo time. The party wero allowed, to sleep, and nobody turned out before 7 o'clock. While dressing Mr. Clem Studebakcr was informed of the loss of his residence by fire, and he immediately took leave of his friends and started for home. One of the anticipated points in the itinerary had been a visit by the excursionists to Mr. Studebaker's home, where he had designed to have a collation served to his colleagues. The blow was a severe one to the quiet and genial gentleman whom the party had come to value as a traveling companion. After breakfast Mayor Winslow, of Worcester, Rockwood Hoar, a son of tho Massachusetts Senator, members of the city government and thirty gentlemen of prominence in the town took their places in carriages with the delegates and drove from the depot through and about the city. The South American representatives listened with some amusement to a statement that within their view during a part of tho drive was a factory in which hundreds of thousands of roller skates were being made for use in South America and Australia, in which countries the craze at present prevails in an acute form. At 10 ofclock the government train moved out of the Worcester depot for Willimantic, hundreds of residents lining the way of its passage, and the hats of men and the handkerchiefs of ladies waving a good-bye. On arrival at Willimantic the visitors were conducted by the local committee of reception to tbe chief mill of the Willimantic Spool-cotton Company, which is deemed one of the most complete and healthful in the world. The building of one story . in height lighted from above and at tho sides, covers three and one-half acres of ground, and in it are employed a large number of the 1,500 operatives working the entire plant. They are chiefiy young women, and the delegates were told that their average earnings were $6 per week, and that they live mostly at .home. The atmospheric conditions for the proper making of thread are those in which, vegetation best thrives, and at the entrance under the glass of the roof were palms, banana trees and other tropie vegetation, the sight of which was greeted with pleasure and surprise by the elegates. The tour of the works was necessarily rapid, but the evolution from raw cotton to the boxed product ready for market was seen and explained. A definite idea of what is accomplished in one day by the countless whirling spools and spindles of the entire works was furnished to the delegates by the statement that the daily product of the thread is 144,000.000 feet which is equal to a single thread 2,800 miles long. As each excursionist left the works a neat little box containing one spool of fine thread was presented as a souvenir of tho visit With the reception committee were Governor Bnlkely and United States Senator llawley. The train arrived at South Manchester, Conn., at about 1:30 o'clock. The little time allotted to South Manchester was devoted to the Cheney silkinills, where plushes, florentines, plain silks, dress goods, etc., are produced. In a great hall samples of all the various goods were displayed. Said Minister Atagon, of Costa Rica: "Do all the people of your country know of this great producing of silks?" He was told that doubtless millions of Americans did not know that silks were largely produced. The visitors 6aw 2,000 emplo3es at work at $45,000 a month in wages, the work of whose hands aggregates an annual output of $4,000,000. Leaving the silk mills, each excursionist received a silk American flag about 4x3 feet square, manufactured in the mills inspected. Again mounting to the train, the last stage of the day's journey was begun, aud was closed when, the party reached Hartford, at 3:30 o'clock. Here the party was divided. One party went over a local route of sight-seeing and the oi her over another route. The first, with General Hawley and tho Vice-president, and Manager Hall, of tho Colt armory-works, went to the shops of that concern. The visit there might be brietly characterized as a round of wonderment and amazement on the part of the foreigners and most of the Americans in the party. Dr. Gatling, the inventor of the rapid-firing gun that bears his name, was present also. The delegates were led over the COO acres covered by the works. The 35,000 machines employed in making arms, graphophones,printing-prcsses, type-setters and engines were seen in operation under the hands of 1.200 men, whose monthly pay-roll is $00,000. In an open court the Colt rities, tiring fifteen shots in seven seconds, were discharged by Dr. Amador, from Colombia, General Hawley and others, while the Gatling gun of ten pounds. , was operated at the rate of 12,000 6hots per minute. This discharge was at a target several of the foreigners turning the crank by which, tho tubes are emptied, Dr. Gatling directing the loading. Said one of the Southern deh gates: 'Our visit is not in keening with this exhibition. It is for war, while we aro for peace." 'But this gun is a peace-maker," returned Dr. Gatling. Pratt &, Whitney's gun-shons were next visited by the first party, and the making and operation of the llotchkiss' multicharge gun was inspected, after which they were driven to the Allyn House. At another place the other division of delegates saw how bicycles are made. They expressed 6ome surprise at learning that the steel tubes which formed the frame work are made in England, as after what they had seen they were prepared to believe that Americans could make anything in the world. The same shop also turns out sowing machines in numbers. Further on and in another factory hundreds of trip and drop hammers were making a thunderous roar. Tho white-hot pieces of steel held by the workmen were fashioned into dies and stocks and bolts and parts of guns and Sistols aud almost every article where the rop forging process can be applied. The last factory visited was that where caliSraphs are made at tho rate of twenty-five aily, by 175 hands. Tho South Americans expressed pleasure upon discovering that the machines, if they could not speak, could at least writo Spanish, andsamples of work in that language were eagerly sought. A dinner was given- the excursionists at tho Allyn House. After the feast Governor Bulkley arose and 6aid that he hoped the Americanism of the gentlemen composing the congress would result in something that w rould add to the glorification of the American sentiment. He, therefore, welcomed them to Hartford. Senor Valerda said the delegates were impressed by the large industries of the United States and the happiness of its people. He hoped that the cougrcss would, in the near future, result in the union of the people of America. Senator Hawley said that Connecticut was but three-fourths of one of tho sixtyfive millions of this country, and he presumed from the itinerary faid out, that they would dine with all of the other sixtyfour millions before they were done. They might fare better, but they would have no warmer welcome. Tho sneaker had cheerfully voted for any and all measures calcu lated to improve the commercial relations and for whatever tended to bring nearer together the people of this continent as friends and as political neighbors. Senor Aragon, of Costa Rica, said that the delegates began to forget that they were foreigners in this country. Ho could not estimate the volume of the future trade between tho South American countries and the United States. His people thought tho Constitution of the United States should be their Constitution. They were on tho path and would follow. Applause.l In answer to a general call, Samuel T. Clemens (Mark Iwain) -rose and addressed the meeting. He said: "I think Governor Bulkley has the best sagacity of any chairman I ever saw preside at a bauouet Now, always wheu introducing a man. the chairman tries to give him a text. Bnt that chairman never lived that could do it just right It is because men are so ditl'erently constituted. He gives to an unclerical person the clerical text, and ho gives to Dr. Parker the text that I could

MAGNIFICENT RESIDENCE BURNED. lion. Clem Studebaker's Stone Castle De stroj-ed Works of-Art Consumed. Bpecial to the Indianapolis Joanna, South Bend, Ind., Oct 9. The hand some home of Hon. Clem Studebaker, known as 'Tippecanoe Place," furnished food for the flames, this morning, making one of the most disastrous fires known to northern Indiana. Mr. Studebaker is absent as a member of the International American Congress, and was to have entertained that body in the house on the 19th inst All the family, except Mrs. Studebaker and her grandchild,' were away frcm, homo. Mrs. Studebakcr discovered tha fire, at 2 o'clock, this morning, in a closet opposite Mr. Studebaker's "den" and nnder the rear stairway. It was evidently caused by spontaneous combustion of some oil rags which painters had been using and thrown in there. Next to tho closet was 1 the elevator shaft, . reaching to t the roof, antj by this the flames shot and spread all over the building in an incredibly short time. The servants had a narrow escape, and Mrs. Studebaker herself was found out on the terrace nearly insensible aud dangerously burned, and clasping her grandson in her arms. One of the servants was compelled to slide dowc from a third-story window on a watcr-spoul ' to save herself. On Sept 13 Mr. and Mrs. Studebakereele. brated the twenty-fifth anniversary of tbeiff marriage, and formally opened their magnificent new residence, which was completed last February. Twelve hundred invitations were issued to friends and relatives residing in the United States, Canada and England. Among the guests were all their old personal friends the neighbors who could remember tho simple beginnings of their fortunes. Among letters and telegrams received on this occasion was ono from President and Mrs. Harrison. Tho residence was one of the largest and costliest iu the West It was built of Indiana field stone with tile roof and cepper facings, and the interior was finished in tbe costliest of native and foreign woods, while it was fnrnished in tho richest styla throughout. The art gallery oa the third llooor was filled with rare works of art and all these were destroyed. The house, in its proportions and appointments, probably surpassed anything iu Indiana. It was an embodiment of all that wealth and taste could suggest and modern skill and invention devise. The material was native cobble-stone, irregular in form and varied in color. It stood upon a natural elevation, surrounded by smoothly aven lawns, which slope to the north a Hst and are broken here and there by bv brilliant flowers. There are several fit I oaks to the south and east With its .ssive walls, its turrets and the irregular roofs, it looked like somo feudal castle. The house was built at a cost of $250,000. Tho loss is estimated at about $125,000, with an insurance of about $250,000. Mr. Studebaker was notified of his loss, at Worcester, Mass., where the Pan-American party is at present ' Big Loss at Savannah, Ca. Savannah, Ga., Oct 9. Fire, which started In tho lower hydraulic cotton-compress yard, to-day, destroyed that compress and the Tyler compress, and five warehouses, with 4,900 bales of cotton. Tho British steamships Napier, Cypress and Carlton were in. great danger, but were towed safely from the wharves. The Carlton was somewhat blistered. The wharve s took fire, but were saved. Thero will bo hardly any salvage on the cotton. Tho loss is estimated at S400.000. There is an insurance of about $95,000 on buildings, presses, etc., and the cotton was well covered by floating policies. The fire will not inter fere with tho handling of cotton, as thero are plenty ot reserve presses that can bo brought into use. Tho cause of tho fire is not known. It originated among the cotton in some waj. Other Fires. Jackson. Mich., Oct 9. At 11:00 this morning the east wingof tho prison, known as the school and library, caught fire from the tinners' salamanders on the roof. After two hours' hard work tho flames were got under control. Tho entire building was gutted and only the walls left 6tauding. Perfect order was maintained among tho convicts during tho progress of the flames. The loss is estimated at between $25,000 and $30,000, with no insurance. St. Louis, Oat 9. The Beaumont Medical College and Hospital, northwest corner of Walnut and Sixteenth streets, was destroyed by fire late lastnicht Loss about $20,000. Assistant Chief Barry, of tho tiro department, and Julius Pillman, a hook and ladder man, were somewhat injured by a falling wall. Two natieuts in the hospital were removed without injury.

Three men, who were in tho" shaft at the time, narrowly escaped death. Loss, $25,000. Overhead Wire Must Go. New York, Oct. P. In view of the whole sale loss of life by electricity the meeting of the Board of Electrical Control to-day was devoted to the reception of tho representatives of the various companies. Mayor Grant scored thera roundly, and declared himself in favor of shutting offelectrio illnmination by overhead wires altogether. unless the mortality ceased. He v.as told that the wires were safo. but not one of tho representatives answered in the allimiativo his -questiou: "Will you take hold of a charged wire of your company to prove its safety I" They admitted that they thought the risk was too great. The Mayor was linn in insisting that the wires must go into sub-ways, and that where sub-wavs did not exist perfect insulation must be maintained. A resolution forbidding the uso of overhead wires not certified by tho board's expert as in proper condition wa adopted.
