settle the claim of Henry vosc administrator Of
the estate of the late George f. Pease, against the
Eagle Life and Health Insurance Company of New
York, for $4,000, insured by said company on the
life Of said Pcase. The payment is resisted mainly
on grounds Of incorrect representations and con-
cealment by Pcase in regard to the state Of
his health at the time of effecting the insurance.
The referees before whom the case comes are Judge
Wnshburn of Worcester, A. H. Nelson, ESQ.,, Of
Woburn, and Daniel w. Alvord, esq, of Green

DOUBLE JUMP ron Con- BATH.--As one OF
our ferry boats was leaving the slip on the New
York side, about two O'Clock Saturday afternoon,
two men succeeded in obtaining bath in the Hud-
son at the same moment, both diring in company.
II appears that the boat had already started, when
one person was anxious 20 get ashore, and another
TO get board Both with the caution " Don't
jump" staring them in the face) gave a leap, and
their shoulders came in contact, ut midway, thus
preventing either from reaching boat or bridge and
prccpitating them into the "drink." Fortunately,
one could swim, and the other succeeded in grasp-
ing rope, by which he was saved.
