Correction.

4 statement was made in the Grant
Co. Herald n few weeks ago from
John W. Holloway, Of Reetown in
relation to the robbery Of our part

some correction and explanation.
Mr.. John Holloway says the par
ties arrested were alt. Al. Kidd and

years OF age and one who never ram.
bles." Here is an effort to fix the
guilt in that transaction upon Mr,
Kidd, which is most unjust, and as
events have shown, entirely without
foundation, What are the facts ia
the case OF Mr.. Kidd ? lie has been
in the employ of the McCiregor &
Western road the past season, had
just come to town Oh his way to his
home in Cass, lille, met Holloway
and was in his company a short time,
having been at luaintances two or
three years befl re. The suspicious
against HOLLOWAY were so strong
that he was arrested short time af-
ter his arrival in Beetown, and Kid
was arrested as a possible accomplish,
from the fact that he bad been seen
in the company OF Holloway and
was a stranger to Mr.. Smethurst.-
But Mr.. Kidd was discharged almost
imedately after his arrival here, d
no breath of snpicion is entertained
towar is him of having anything 10
do with the robbery of Mr.. Smet~
hurst; he does not blame anyone for
making the arrest, but does ask that
JUSTICE now be done to an innocent.
man.
Mr.. Holloway is bound over to
Court to answer the charge Of having
stolen the money Of Mr. Smethurst,
and we will not now give any opin-
ion as TO his guilt. The statement is
made that he was not gambler
lie told the sheriff after his arrest
that he was u gambler. At first
when he Was arrested he had no
money, but confessed afterwards
that he always kept so cents on hand
to start his game with, and that with
this small beginning he bad won $3.50
at the gaming table. The night be-
fore his arrest he was at the card ta-
BILE with pack OF stamped cards,
these he destroyed when in jail.

sfas. The Hon. Clark B. Cochrane,
an ex member Of Congress from the
State Of New York, died at Albany
yesterday, after being confined to
his room nearly all the time since
his last election. Mr.. Cochrane was
born in New Boston, New Hamp-
shire, May 81, 1915, and graduated
at Union College, Schenectady, New
York. lie devoted himself to the
study Of law, and at the same time
took an active part in State politics.
In 1914 he was chosen member of
the Assembly, on the Democratic
ticket, from the county Of Montgom-
cry. He was one of the primitive
Barnburners supported, in 1914, Van
Buren, and Adams, and in 1854 Wig
orously opposed the Kansas Nebras-
ka bill. Since that time he has ac-

eaten beget a continuous conflict
within-such things doing their part
towards acclimating us to tropics
whist the other diets do their part
toward acclimating us to the north
temperate region. To diet on such
foreign stutfs is like changing our eli.
mate for another or several others,

Communicated
Fatal Accident.

On Wednesday, February 18th,
John QuintrelI, Ca miner,) and his
partner, James Bartel, while at work
In Crawford's level near Hazel Green,
met with Il serious accident, by the
premature explosion of a blast. Barr
tel was but slightly injured. Quin-
trells injuries proved fatal. His un>
der jaw was broken in three places.
The right eye was blown out, and
the other much injured. The right
side OF the face was SO horribly man
gled that it presented the appear
ance of anything but human Being
The left arm was broken near the
wrist, and the hand much bruised-a
dreadful cut across the back of the
right, and half Of the thumb blown
off, SO that he seemed mass of
bruised matter. Two physicians
were in attendance to render what
assistance they could, and two men
waited on him by day and by night.
Nothing was left undonc in order 10
render his condition as comfortable
as circumstances would permit. One
physician, and sometimes two, were
in attendance every day to the last,
and the expense was borne by the
company, Crawford Il Co.. and
they richly deserve the highest
praise. He fingered until the I'd
inst, when death terminated his suf-
ferings. Tie deceased was a local
preacher in the NJ. E. Church, man
ofunblemished character. exemplary
piety, greatly beloved, and his loss
will be severely felt His remains
were inferred in the Providence NJ, i.
Church burying ground, on Sabbath
afternoon, at which time a very able
and impressive discourse was deliver
ed by Rev. james Evans from Phil.

The Insurance Companies-What will
Become ot Them.

The Beaver Dam Argus gives an
account of several holders of insnr>
anco policies in that city, Who have
been notified that the policies are
cancelled, and that the proper pro-
portion of the premium will be re
turned to them The immense losses
Tor many months, in all parts Of the
United States, have alarmed the
whole insurance interest, and they
are now investigating anew the
whole subject, to see if insurance is
not conducted on wrong principle.
One error of the companies has
been the insurance Of the full value
of property. If a man has So, 900
worth Of goods, insured at their full
value, he cares little whether they
burn up, or he sells them to the pub
lie. The only Disadvantage arising
from their destruction by fire, is that
he Is thrown out Of business but as
the loss of his goods is paid in cash.
he can general y resume without dam
age. But if his goods had been in
sured for only s., 600, he would have
practiced the greatest care to pro-
tect them from the dovouriug ele-
ment.
A cotemporary in discussing this
subject very wisely says:
insurance Companies should
make some distinction among men
who apply reinsurance. Ifthe com
pany knows man to be prudent,
thoughtful and careful in the man
agement of his BUSINESS, it would
seem just for him to obtain insuran,
&c on more reasonable terms. than
the careless and improvident fellow.
whose habits are such that no can.
not be called good risk. Yet uuder
the present organization OF Insurance
companies, a man, with sucn char,
acter that be could not get trusted
for $500, at any Bank. can readily
get an insurance of $4,000 on his
property. The consequence Of this
want of discrimination is. that tbe
companies are being constantly vie
timized by rogues, who set fire to
their stores because they are fully in
sured.'
The French insurance system is a
careful one. They pay no losses that
occur from fires that originate on the
premises of the insured. This canses
the greatest care and precaution on
the part Of the housholders. The
law is that the public safety demands
that no man should be allo~ed to in.
sure against his own recklessness or
carelessness, but he shall be insured
against the carolcssness Of his neigh
Dor. The result is that fires are very
rare in French cities Probably less
property isannually destroyed in Par
is, with its two million population,
than in such a city as Chicago, with
one tenth Of that population. The
losses by fire in this 60 ntry The past
year reached 500, 600, 900, and unless
some change is made, the Insurance
companies will oil be bankrupted
and men will have no resort for pro.
lection against loss.

Alexandria and Reform.

The city of Alexandria was former
ly part of the District of Columbia
Just before the rebellion, Alexandria
wanted to share in The next war, aud
50 asked Congress to set her off to
Virginia. The set off was made, and
Alexandria served Old Virginia faiths
fully during the war The people OF
that place were and still are exces-
lively disloyal. 1t was a common
practice Of the women and men to
spit in the faces of Union soldiers
and otherwise insult them in a thou>-
and ways. Very WELL the citizens OF
Alexandria were to vote the other
day for corporation officers. Con-
gress had just enacted a law provid-
ing thot the word rhHc, when used
to discriminate against the natural
or democratic rights Of any, should
be an obsolete word, void Of meaning
and force. But in Alexandria the
loyal whites, with the blacks who
were always true to the old flag,
would carry majority ifaIlowed to
vote. So the decree went out that
none were to vote but white men.
which meant none but traitors to
their country. The election went
of, and the so-caIled democratic
ticket carried unanimously.
Congress, upon hearing of the re
suit, at once passed a bill to abrogate
the act by which Alexandria was ce-
ded to Virginia, and to re annex the
place to the District of Columbia
This will be to the minds Of the Al
eXandria rebels an awful thing, as it
will virtually put them under negro
control.

ss~ Children hunger for new
ideas, and the most pleasant way Of
reception is by the voice and ear, not
the eye and printed page The first
mode is natural, the other artificial.
Who would not rather listen than
read We frequently pass by in the
papers full report Of lecture, and
then 90 and pay our money to hear
the sclf,Same words uttered. An au-
dience will listen closely from begin
ing to end Of an address which not
one in twenty Of those present would
read with the same attention. This
is true Of children. They will learn
with pleasure at the hands Of parents
what they deem is drudgery to eai n
N books and even if they had
the misfortune to be deprived from
the educational advantages which
they desire, they cannot fail to grow
up intelligent, If they enjoy in child
hood and youth the privilege of lis~
tening daily to tho conventiot. Of IN
telligent people. Let the parents
talk much, and talk we'll, at home.
A father who is habitually silent in
MS own house, may be, in some res>
poets, a wise man, but he is not wise
in his silence. We sometimes see
parents who are the life of every
company which they enter; dull, sill
ent and uninteresting at homeamong
their children. If they had not men
tai activity and mental stores for
both, let them first provide for their
own household 1t is better to ine
struct children. and make them happy
at home, than to charm strangers or
amuse friends. A silent house is
dull place for young people, -place
from which they will escape if they
can. They will talk or think Of be
ing "shut up there = and the youth
who does not love home is in danger.
Make home, then, a cheerful and
pleasant spot. Father, mother, talk
your best at home.
