Senatorial Contest.

test the election of Capt.
JoSEs9 Did he think the Ohio
Senate, being Democratic,
would override the decision Of
the Supreme Court, and turn
JONES out on any pretence he
might set up9 Capt. JONES
has proven thirty-six illegal
votes for OYDERDoNK, which
raises Capt. J.'s majority to
forty-six. Mr.. o. has only ques.
toned forty-two votes, and
many Of these are admitted to
be more than half white, This
was a state of facts the commit
tee, Democratic as it is, could
harly face, so they divided the
dose, and rejected the deposi'
tions taken in Gallia-16 votes
and in Meigs IS roIes for
want Of notice, The same no.
tee, naming time and place in
all four counties, is good in two
counties and not good in two.
This is Democratic law. Mr..
o. says he is not the contest
ant. Yet the Senate admits
him to the floor as a contestant,
and the committee throws out
he dispositions on tho theory
that he is not a contestant. The
Senate will thus stultify itself
| if it votes to sustain the report
of the committee rejecting the
testimony.
The committee was selected
five Democrats and two Re-
publicans-to insure q report
against JONES. We think they
will be able to make such a re-
port, but it is only arrived at
by u series of acts of which
any honest man would be
ashamed. Minors, aliens, Vir-
ginians and Kentuckians were
procured to vote Mr.. o., and
with all this fraud staring them
in the face, they have impu-
dence to prate of "yisible ad-
mixture"
Mr.. ONDERDoNK went to the
Senate of Ohio with q case
which he knew was without
foundation--a case which he,
at first, was ashamed to ac-
knowledge his own. He thought
the law of 1859 was stillOn the
statute books, and brought bis
suit upon that statute. lie
said as much to parties after
the suit was commenced; but
he relied more on the preju-
dice of the Democratic major.
ity in the Senate than upon the
law, and when he found out
that the law was repealed, he
still had faith in their prejudice
and want of honesty. Capt.
JONES may be ousted; not be-
cause Mr.. o. has any case, but
because another Copperhead
Senator Is needed; because
they know no principle but
the success of the Democratic
party; because there are many
men in the Democratic party,
and some of them in the Sen.
ate, who will stoop to anything
for success; because the best Of
them will yield to the pressure
of party rule, and we regard
the delay in the disposal Of
the case as so much time spent
in whipping in those who pre-
fer to obey their oaths and
consciences, rather than the
behest of their party.

A STORY OF THE QUEEN OF SPAIN.

The mention of the Incidents connected
with the first appearance of Gonzalez
Bravo on behalf of the Queen of Spain in
lS43 (says the London .StdH) recalls the
memory Of circumstance in which the
name of one Of the present insurgent
Generals is hOnOrably involved Our
contemporary says "One man, OlOzaga,
dared to oppose the reactionary faction
chat headed by Gonzalez Bravo for the
expulsion of Espartero and the return of
Christina arbitrary Ministry, land the
consequence was that the first decree
signed by Isabella contained his instant
dismissal as President of the State Couns
ell. A curious document wR at the same
time December l, lS43) read by Cons
zalez to the assembled Cortes, the first
official document signed by the new
Queen. 1t was this wonderful declara-
ton by her Majesty:
"4n the course Of the night of the
2Sth of last month Don Olozaga presented
himself before me, and proposed to me to
sign decree for the dissolution of the
COrtes. | refused to comply, alleging,
among other reasons, that it had been the
Cortes who had declared me of age Clos
zaga insisted upon his proposal | re-
sisted again. rose and advanced towards
the door to the left ofmy apartment. OlO-
zaga prevented me from opening it by
locking it. | then turned to the door in
the middle of my apartment, but Olozaga
here repeated the same maneuver. He
took hold of my dress and forced me to sit
down. He seized my hands in n manner
that caused me to blush. Tnereupon he
retired, and | withdrew into my rooms.
The circumstance ofwhich this reminds
us is that General Dulce, having acct
dentally been in an ante-rOOm, waiting on
Olozaga, during the interview which
Queen Isabella thus described, was wit
ness of an incident which threw the grav-
est doubt upon her story, and powerfully
supported 0lozaga's denial of it. When
Olozaga left the Queen, and was retiring
from the ante-room with Dulce her
| Majesty came out and called him back
She then, in the most gracious way, gave
him box of bon bORS for his little
daughter, charging him at the same time
with messages of great kindness, and
ezincing in every way that she was on
terms of the greatest amity with the Minis
lister, who accOrdingto the subsequent ac-
count, had just been committing a most
fragrant outrage upon her When Con-
zalez Bravo made the statement quoted
above, Dulce ut once volunteered his
testimony asst the box of bon-bons, and
it was Of material service in repelling the
royal calumny. After many vicissitudes
Dnlce is in arms against the heroine OF
the story, and the subservient Minister

hoped, finally disgraced.

LIFE INSURANCE.
Liability of Companies.

From the n enOsna wv Isl JHious
A case has lately been tried in the Mil
waukee wis. Circuit Court involving the
question Of liability Of insurance eOmpa-
MES. This actor has ATTRACTED the at
tention not only of insuraaceseomp
themselves, but the public generaify,,s.
The action alluded to was that Of Ella
E. A. Hatch against the Ghiesgo Provi-
dent Life insurance Con7any. gfhe
plaintiff is a resident Of Kan1sha, and a
daughter of our tovusman, \ Ehle The
facts are these In the spring OF 1900
Henry A. Hatch, Ter late husband, got
his life insured fer one year in the above
company for the bene6s Of his wife. In
the following January he died, and the
company declined payiHg the policy On
the ground that the Insured died with
disease Of the heart 8
The action was commented II henO-s
sha county, at the instigation o. the de-
PENDANT, on the ground thata fair trial
could not be had in this COUNTY, on aess
count of prejudice. The Judge removed
it to Milwaukee county, where the trial
was concluded last week
The following is q summary account OF
! the trial: The plaintiff showed in evidence
that her husband was insured in said
company for the sum of S5OOO that at
| the time the examination took place OF
| the assured, it was well known to the
AGENT that the assured had the heart dis
ease; that no person who ever saw Mr..
H. but who knew he was diseased, for
he not only painted for breath in ordinary
conversation, but there was a lage prOm-
inenee over the region of the heart show
ing It's enlargement 1t was further shown
that few days before his death, Mr.. IL.
met with serious accident at Mr.. Brown 8
store, in this city, by an accidental fall in
| the cellar. 1t was then shown by medical
men, sustained by medical authority, that
this fall, although not the prime cause Of
the death of Mr. H., yet it fastened 1t
and indirectly contributed to that re-
suit
1t was further shown in evidence that
the health of the assured had been better
for the last few months of his life than it
had been several years previous and, inN
ferentially, he might have lived several
wears had he not met with this accident
One physician swOre that he had known
Of cases whre persons who were afflicted
with heart disease lived until they were
past seventy years of age.
The verdict was for the plaintiff, ac'
cording to the charge of the court, and II
is regarded by business men and those
who ought to know, as just and correct
Insurance companies may however taxi
q different view.

BURNING TIRE DEAD-A COOL DE-
SCRIPTTON,

Turning over some days since, 10 an
swer professional inquiry, the leavesof
the reported trial of Webster for the muir
der of Parkman in Boston, in 1850-one
of the most remarkable cases on record
we could not help being impressed with
the GOODNESS and professional sang trOid Of
DR.. Woodbridge Strong, one of the wit
nesses on the trial, as given in the report
of his evidence. He said:
" | have dissected great many bodies
in my day. had a pirate given me in
warm weather, in the year -, and as l
only wanted the bones, l dissected him
rapidly, and as there was a good deal Of
fat about him, thought it would be as
good way as any to burn him up. l
therefore made a large roaring fire and
kept at work by throwing on piece by
piece all night, and at IL O'Clock the next
day, | found had not done great deal.
1 considered it great job to burn up
human body. Pitch pine would be the
best thing to do it with. It is necessary
to keep the fire well stirred up, during the
process, or it will go out"
The only parallel which our memory
supplies of such naiUete in description Of
what, to most persons, is very solemn
.proceeding-the disposal of the human
body after DEATHS the account given Us
orally by one Forsyth, who kept for many
years the principal hotel on the British
side of Niagara, near the foot of Lundy's
Lane. His house was standing at the time
of the battle which took place there in the
war of 1912, and when we saw it, bore
many marks of the conflict, of which For
syth was himself an anxious eyewitness.
According to his account, it was deter
mined, day or two after the action, in
stead Of burying, to burn the dead both
parties. He assisted in the work, which he
thus described to US after the manner OF
Dr. Woodbridge Strong:
"They took" said he, "my post and
rail fence, for which the government, curse
'em, afterwerd refused to pay me-aud first
put down a layer Of rails, and then a
layer of men, and then another layer of
rails, so on, until the pile was as hig ID as
it could stand, and then We tonched them
off with pitch-pine. Thunder what a
roaring and cracking, and what cloud OF
smoke Straight up it went, three hundre ed
feet high at the least Men are generally
fat critters-they burn as well as pitch-pine
knots. But noticed one thing, the Eng
fishers burned good dead better than In
dians-for We had one heap of them. l
had rather have one John Bull TO make a
fire of than two Indians, any time.'-Bat-
