REASONS WHY THEv
AMERICAN WATCH
MADE AT WALTHAM, MASS,
Is THE BEsr.

aN Is made on the best principle. Its frame 4
composed Of SOLID PLATES, NO jar can inter
fere with the harmony o. its working, and no sud
den shock can damage It's machinery. Every piec,
Is made and finished BY machinery (itsef fSmou,
for It's novelty. well as for its and |,
therefore properly made. The watch is what all
mechanism should be-ACCURATE. SIMPLs
STRONG AND EC0NO MICAL. Except soms
high grades, too costly for general use,, foreign
watches are chiefly madeby women and boys. Such
Watcnes are composed of several hundred pieces.
sOte.ed and riyeted together and require constant
spAirs 70 Keep them in any kind Of order. All per-
.Uns VINO have carried "ancres," "lepines" and
,Elensh Patent Levers" are perfectly well aware
Of tho truth Of this statement. NJ
Atthe beginning of our enterprise, moro than ten
years ago, IL was our first object to make A thor
oughiy good low priced watch for the million. TO
take the place Of these foreign impostions. the "a
tuBe Of foreign factories, which were entirely nm
saleabls At home and perfectly worthless every
where. y.tov ,,g,-...
How well We have accomplished this, may be un-
derstood from the fact that afer so many years Of
public trial, We now make MORE THAN HALF OF
ALL THE WATCHES SOLD IN ThE UNITED
SKATES. ard that no others have ever given sueb
universal satisfaction. While this department of
our business is continued with increased facilite.
fOrperfect work. We are At present engaged in the
manufacture Of watches of the very HIGHEST
GRAUE KNOWN TO CHRONOMETkY. nm
equaled byanything hitherto made by ourselves
and uns urpasSed by anything made in the world
For this purpose we have the ampest facilities. We
have erected an addition to our main building ex
pressly for this branch of our business, and have
hlledit with the best workmen in our service. New
machines and appliances have been constructed
which perform their work with consumuiate delica-
cyand exaetness. The choicest and most approved
materials only are used. aud we challenge compar
ison between this grade Of our work and the finest
Imported chronometers. We do not pretend to sell
our watches for LASS MONEY than foreign watches.
but we do assert without fear of contradiction that
fortde sAAE MONEY our product is incoln parabiy
superior. All our watches, of whatever grade. arc
fully warranted. and this warranee is good at ALI
times against US or our agents in all parts of the
world.

FROM ANNAPOLIS,
Examination of Police Commissiol

J. VIE.
ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Oct. 3l.-The examina-
tion of charges against the Police Commits
sioners was continued till 6o'clock last night
and resumed this morning at 10 O'clock
The defense expect to get through their ev-
idence by noon, when there will be some
rebutting evidence introduced by the pros
ecution. Commissioner Kinds was called
to the stand yesterday by the counsel for
the defense, in order that the Governor
might question him, but he declined doing
so, and said ii he desired to examine the
Commissioners he would do SO at their
Office in Baltimore. Some conversa-
tion took place last night relative to
the argument of the case. Mr.. Alexan-
der, for the Commissioners, announced
his intention to argue the case. Mr.. La
trobe argued the Importance of disposing
Of the case without delay, and said they
represented l450 disfranchised people of
Baltimore. Time pressed, and if the Com
missioners were removed, as they hoped
and believed they would be, there was
much to be done. Many examinations were
to be made before next Tuesday, the day of
election. The counsel for the defense said
they did not wish to delay unnecessarily.
Mr.. Alexander said they represented the
Union men of Baltimore and the Union
sentiment of the country. The Governor
said, in order to accommodate the counsel,
he would sit till 2o'clock tonight if neces-
sary.

The Iowa transcript. (Toledo, Tama County, Iowa) 1858-1866, 1866-03-14

Mr. Burke, railroad hand in the employ
Of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy road
at Galesburg, was run over and killed by
an engine in the yard ut that place the
other day. He leaves family dependent.
and we learn his widow has appealed to the
Superintendent of the road for aid. How
much better would it have been, had
she urged her husband to insure his life
against accident. in which case she would
have been provided for abundantly without
the necessity Of an appeal to the charities
OF any one. We learn that the railroad
company have obtained Of the "Providcnt
Insurance Co." of Chicago what is termed
a" Railroad Policy" insuring all the em-
ployes of company, but as many Of the
employees of that road objected to being
insured, the policy only covers portion OF
the men, MIR. Burke was one of the OBJ
Jectors and consequently his family is COM
PEELED to ask charity. We are led to make
these comments because of the continued
exposure of all railroad men to accidents,
and the facilities which are offered by acct
dent insurance companies to provide against
such contingencies we feel impelled by a
sense Of duty to our readers to urge upon
them the Importance of providing against
the dangers to which they are daily exposed.
In addition to the 8. Railroad Policy" Of the
Provident Life Insurance Company Of
Chicago, by which they insure all the en-
ployees of company, they also issue pol
icies to individuals insuring them for such
sums as may be desired, ranging from
500 to 10000 dollars, with compensations
Of from to 80 dollars per week.
This deservedly popular Company are
now, beyond doubt, doing the largest
part Of the railroad insurance Of this
country, and we are pleased to learn that
its executive officers, with their charac-
teristic promptness in meeting the wants
of the public have already organized a
department of life insurance. branch OF
the business entirely separate and indie
pendent of the accdent-and while they
have presented many Of the best features
which have contributed to the success Of
Life insurance as formerly practiced, they
have also adopted several new principle:
and features which cannot fail to enhance
the already wide spread popularity Of
"The Provident."
