So far as the transmission of ocean mails is concerned it may be assumed that both the American and British lines are doing the best they can to insure the fastest posmble dispatch between New York and London, whether by the way of Queenstown or Southampton. According to the report made to the House of Commons by Mr. Arnold Mor- ley, the Postmaster General, the White Star steamers Majestic and Teutonic and the American line steamers Paris and New York had sailed from New York with the mails ten times each since July 1838. Four times the mails had been delivered earlier by the British steamers than by the American, twice the latter had made the earlier delivery and four times the two lines had been on even terms. So that it would seem to have been nearly a draw game, with the odds slightly in favor of the Brit- ishcrs. The postal authorities are doubtless acting in the interests of the service, ' having in view the importance of prompt dispatch, without special regard to the colors the ships fly. But from all we can learn of the new vessels, the St. Paul and St. Louis, new building for the American line, the time is not far distant when the odds as to speed will turn in this direction. v-»—~- _-__, ooo~~~~-»<A —— ~— An Exodus of Aliens. The report that about 300 Hungarians and a number of Italians left Brad- dock, l’a., last week on route for their native Countries because of the closing down of the furnaces at Keating on account of the fuel famine is not calcu- latcd to encourage the belief that any general exodus of this sort is likely to occur. From the fact that these men are comfortably provided for and many of them well supplied with money, each of them having from $300 to $31,500, it is evident that they are of the better class of aliens, who, being satisfied that the labor conditions in this coun- try are badly out of joint, have con~ eluded to try their fortunes elsewhere. Of another and a much larger class, the majority of whom are just now en- gaged in the coke or coal strikes, and who. by reason of low wages or their own thriftlessness, have accumulated nothing, we do not learn that any are taking their departure or contemplat- ing such a movement. ‘ It is also to be apprehended that the lliatcriul reductions in steeragc rates made by the steamship companies, while advantageous to those who are leaving, will have the effect of largely augmenting the influx and still further ovorsiocking the labor market. ' It will now be in the line of prudence for the government to see that its immigration regulations are enforced with all possi- ble rigor and such additional restric- tions adopted as the situation may ren- der expedient. -_._, , .. n-» _ , ,.,_ Is This Equity? Immense sums of money are constant- ly being paid to life insurance compan- ies by all sorts and conditions of men, nearly always for the safeguarding of the future of wives, children, or others who are dear to them. Now and 'then :1 policy is taken out for the benefit of creditors, but as a rule the governing consideration for the payments made to these companies is the guarantee to a widow or children of a sum to help them to independence when the insured has passed away. Vast good is constantly being done by the aid thus secured from the com- panics; but it is not much to their cred- it, and is likely to react sharply against their business, that they so often seek to. escape responsibility for technical reasons. Acase in point has recently occurred in New Jersey. A young man insured hislife for the benefit of his widowed mother. Some time after, while intoxicated, he quarrelch with another man, assaulted him, and was killed. The company now claims that he lost his life while committing an 11. legal act, which, being in violation of the contract between them, released the company. It is well enough to say that if this is to be taken us law, the company should be required to at. least repay the bene- ficiary all the money actually paid to it for premiums and dues, on which it has, of course, been making good in- terest.* " : a ' In this. oils/c,_,_,t,hc court sustains the compatiy—tbé‘inohtay paid is lost—41nd the motherfgcts nothing. The same kind 'of cleft" is generally made as to suicides, and it is hard to say that this -\ ‘ n a. I L Y- N oRW AL-K -G AZ ET T E. man committed this assault with the faintest reference to the insurance, or ' that any suicide kills himself “to beat the company.” If the beneficiary can be shown to have had any connection with the death, or there was any fraud or misrepresentation in the making of the contract, it is fair enough that the company should escape——on refunding what it has received. But there is no equity or honor in pushing matters to this New Jersey extreme, and lo pur- sue such a policy will prove very dam- aging to the business of life insurance in general.

The proprietors of the Murray Hill hotel, New York, have brought suit against Benjamin A. Bulklcy, a wealthy resident of Southport, to recover $1,500 for the board of his wife and child. The bill was contracted while Bulkley was suing his wife for divorce on the grounds of intollorablo cruc’lty. Be- fore the suit was tried Mrs. Bulkley brought an action for alimony and counsel fees. Bulkley made a big fight against paying his wife’s board at such a high toned hostelry, but Mrs. Bulk. ley, who came from a respectable fami- 1y, stated that she had been accustomed to living at the best hotels and won her case. Bulkley has failed to settle the bill, hence the suit. USE DANA’S SARSAPARILLA, IT’S “THE KIND THAT CURES ” Treasurer Disappears. A sensation was caused in Litchfield, Monday afternoon when it: became known that Darwin B. Randall, a well- known merchant in the place, had dis- appeared from town. A great deal of suspicion was aroused afterwards, as Randall was the treasurer and clerk of the town, and had in his keeping the funds collected from taxes, etc. Ran- dall left two weeks ago, and as he had been in the habit of going off on trips lasting a week, his family did not worry about h1m. His prolonged absence, however, caused some anxiety among the members of his family, but the fact. that Randall was missing was kept a family secret until Monday, when a letter was received from the missing town treasurer by his family stating that he had decided to leave Litchfield and that his family might expect never to see him again.

JEFFERSONVIILE, 1.1.1.. ’ May '15. -— The story of a senational escape from the In— diunn prison south has just leaked out. Henry Koch was sent down from Wash- lngtou, Daviess county, March 23, 1893, to serve three years for grand larceny.~ On his arrival at the penitentiary he was as- signed to the foundry. Koch always kept Ip with his task, but 10 days ago began to set very strangely and showed symptoms of insanity, growing apparently worse. On one occasion he said to the prisoners that he had an egg in his head. To fortify his assertion Koch beat his cranium against the foundry wall for the purpose, as he expreésed it, of opening his head and getting the egg out. This and other queer actions convinced Warden Patton and Deputy, Howard that Koch was insane, and he was sent to the insane ward. Dr. Peyton of the prison was called and examined Koch and pronounced him sane. The doctor so informed the officials and recommended that he be sent back to the foundry. Warden Patton thought; differently and ordered that Koch remain in the insane ward. The latter is box shaped, 8 feet square, and is located on the floor of one of the shops. In some manner Koch pro- cured a. piece of band saw, with which he sawed ahele in the roof of his quarters large enough for him to crawl through. A few minutes later Koch was in the yard. He found a. pickax and tunneled a hole un- der the board fence, through which he crawled to liberty. He has not been seen or heard of since. EXECUTED BY ELECTRICITY. The Illumierer of Detective Harvey Put to Death at Auburn. _ AUBURN. N. Y., May 15.—Lucius alias “Dink" Wilson was put to death by elec— tricity in Auburn prison at 12:43 p. m. to- dav. Wilson’s crime was the killing of J amcs Harvey, the oldest and best known officer on the Syracuse police force on J my 31, 1893. Harvey had arrested Wilson and the latter’s brother Charles fornburglary and was taking the two men through the street to police headquarters when one of the men drew a revolver and shot the detective dead. A crowd of men pursued the fugitives, and Lucius Wilson was finally cornered and forced to surrender, his brother cscupv ing. Sixteen days after this arrest Charles Wilson was arrested in Buffalo aftcru (los- peratc resistance, and the identity of the two men was first learned. Both were no- torious criminals, Lucius Wilson having been one of the five men who robbed a . train at Glendale, Me, of $40,000, using dynamite. The two Wilsons were joint-1y indicted for the murder of Harvey, but elected to be tried separately. In convict- ing Lucius Wilson the question whether he or his brother fired the fatal shot- was not considered by the jury. Charles Wil- son is awaiting trial at Syracuse. Fatal Afl'ray In Chicago.
