The Vlgllant.
Before the last contest for the Ameri-
O'L’S Cup the English papers were full of
complaints about the hardship and un-
fairness of the fact that they had to
send a. seaworthy, ocean-voyaging
craft here after the cup to compete
with “a mere racing machine.” At
that time it never entered the heads of
our English cousins that the racing
machine would dare to try to cross the
Atlantic. '
Well. “the racing machine” was the
Vigilant. She twice beat the Valkyrie
in fairly brisk winds and then Dunrav-
en prayed for a blow. His prayer was
answered. The last race took place in
a half gale, and “the racing machine,”
though badly crippled by an accident
to her centrcboard, beat his pet in her
presumably best weather.
Mr. George Gould bought the Vigi-
lunt and he sent her to England. She
beat all single-stick records going over,
and in her races on the other side,
whenever there was a ten-knot breeze
and a fair amount of sea room, she just
lost the Prince of Wales’ crack yacht,
the Britannia, then the best boat in the
. three kingdoms.
Monday this same “racing machine,”
the Vigilant, arrived home in New York,
having again beaten all single-stick
records.

The Cost of Fire Insurance.
Fire insurance in the United States
costs more than twelve times its cost in
France, almost seven times its cost in
Germany, four times its‘cost in Eng.
land, and very much more than any
other European country, according to
Mr. George P. Crocker, in the North
In the course of
American Review.
his instructive and suggestive paper
Mr. Crocker presents the following
table as showing the rates of 'insurance
prevailing in different countries:
France ........................ 8 cents per $100
Germany .................. 15 cents per $100
England ................... 25 cents per $100
Australia .................. .36 cents per $100
_ Austria ...................... 38 cents per $100
Russia ...................... .61 cents per $100
United States ........... 100 cents per $100
The object of the Review writer is to
urge that the public is paying too much
for fire insurance. It is his opinion
that the cause of the excessive cost in
the United States must be looked for
in the system of conducting the busi-
ness through brokers, and he tabulates
statistics to prove that the, profits of
these agents raise the cost by a large
percentage. The remedy he recom—
mends is to dispense with the middle
' men and let the companies deal directly
with the public. He estimates that at
least a quarter of all the pi emiums paid
in “finds its way immediately into the
packets of brokers, agents, andofiicers
of the insurance companies.” The fire
insurance premiums in the United States
average $300,000,000 annually, he says.
The fire losses paid by the insurance
Cimpanies aggregate only about half
that amount, and, as the companies are
making little or no money, on an ayer-
a re, Mr. Crocker concludes that a con-
siderable part of the $150,000,000 differ-
‘ ease between what. is paid by the in-
sured and what the companies get must-
go to the insurance brokers in the shape ,
of commissions. “It is not to be de~
nied that a broker may be of service to
a person desiring to procure insur-
' ance,’_’ he says, “but that the public
lhould have to pay a broker from 10 to
15 per'cen’. on all premiums, and gen-
erally'a farther sum as a commission to
an agent, seems ridiculous.”

The Tennessee Juggle.
The joint committee of the Tennessee
Legislature, appointed by a strict parti-
san vote to inquire. and determine if
the present Governor Turney, Demo-
crat, o'r'Henry Clay Evans, Republican- -
Populist, was elected Governor-twat the
November election, has reported in
favor of Turney by a party vote. On
the face of the returns, with the politi-
cal machinery of the State largely in
the hands of the Democrats, Evans
was returned as elected by some 700
majority.
The Democrats while losing the Gov-
ernor carried both branches of the
Legislature, and it is creditable to Ten-
nessee that in her history of 100 years
as a state, there has never been need
for a law regulating contested elections
of state Ofiicers. In the absence of
such a law there was but one honest
way for the Democrats to meet this
issue if they believed that their candi-
date had been fraudulently denied a
majority of the votes, and that was to
inaugurate Mr. Evans upon his prima
facie right to the seat, and provide for
contesting the election, as could have
been done with every advantage to the
dominant party in the Legislature;
date of the law that entitled Mr. Evans
to be inaugurated as Governor, the
Democrats passed an act providing for
a. contest and providing also that Gov-
ernor Turney, the contestant, should
continue in office until the issue was
determined. Everything was done on
partisan lines from beginning to end,
says the Democratic Philadelphia
Times, and by unanimous vote of the
majority party, over 20,000 votes were
thrown out on the technical ground
that tax receipts had not been presented
by the voters as required, and the 700
majority for Evans was transposed into
a majority of 2,358 fer Governor Tur-
ney. The minority of the committee
has unanimously reported in favor of
Evans, and the partisan majority in
both branches of the Legislature will
doubtless affirm the electionlof Turney.
This will be a costly victory to the
Democrats of Tennessee, continues the
Times. It is not an honest one, nor
was it obtained by honest methods.
There is little or no pretenSe that fraud
swelled the vote of Evans, but a techni-
cal plea is seized upon and manipulated
by the majority committee to make it
. produce the results desired, and a taint-
ed Democratic victory is thus achieved.

Pulled Off the Car.
James Farrell, 'the fifteen year old
son of Mrs. Mary Farrell, a widow liv-
ing on Grand street, Bridgeport, was
terribly injured last evening while
stealing a ride on a box car on the
Berkshire division of the Consolidated
road. While the car was in motion and
young Furl-ell clinging to a ladder on
the side of the car, he was struck by a
switch by the side of the track and
pulled off the car. His face was fright-
fully lacerated and all the ribs on the
right side Of his body were broken.
He also sustained a fractured collar
bone. The injured boy was removed
to the Bridgeport general hospital. He
will not live.
Barn Burned.
A barn onthe East Rocks road be-
longing to Noah Wood was destroyed
by fire about 12 o’clock, last night.
. The fiamesilluminated the sky for a
long distance and were plainly seen on
Wall street, this city. About thirty
tons of hay, together with a quantity
of grain, and some farming implements
were destroyed. Mr. Wood estimates
the loss at about $1,500 upon which
there, is an insurance of $1,200. This
is the second time that his barns have
been destroyed by fire, and each time
it was apparently the work of an incen-
diary.
Thieves Steal Jewelery.
The residence of J. H. Whittemore,
the millionaire manufacturer of Nau—

gained an entrance to the house by a
second story window. They went
through all the bedrooms and carried

.bery was discovered shortly after 11
O’clock and the police notified.

Senator Chandler Speaks.
When the resolution incorporating
the Law and Order League came up in
the Senate yesterday, Senator Chand-
ler, of Thompson, took occasion to say
that he had received a. letter from. the
pastor of 9. Norwalk church, which was
a disgrace to the profession, because of
the terms in which the letter reflected
on his course. He further stated that
he had no patience with the ministers
and such people who were in Hartford
urging that. the Law and Order matter
be railroaded through.
The letter to Senator Chandler is as
follows: V
“I have been reading lately reports
of your recent speeches and actions in
the Senate and I wish to say that if the
newspapers report you correctly, you
are a disgrace to the Senate, the Re-
publican party and the state.
Yours cordially,
GERALD H. BEARD.
P. S. I refer especially to your at-
tempt to defeat the Law and Order
league incorporation bill and to legal-
ize gambling at races.

“My wife attended a G. A. R. enter-
tainment at their room in Old Fort
Marion, and was surprised to see your
picture hanging there and also that of
Colonel Noble. She gothin conversation
with one of the members of the Post by
the name of Perry who told her that he
saw ‘Doug’ Fowler killed, and said that
he was shot in the head and part Of
his brains were shattered over him.
He was taken prisoner by the Bobs and
saw Fowler stripped by them of every-
thing he had on. He saw them take
his gold watch and Masonic pin and
gold ring and strip himflof all his cloth-
ing. He saw him buried in a trench
among many others. ' Said he could go
right to the spot where he was buried,
but of course would not be able to
identify his remains as he was entirely
naked.” -
