IssuREScEs.-The insurance losses
by tho Chicago fire are $74, $50, 900, OF
which New York City loses directly at
least 3ls,476, 500, to say nothing Of the
loss BY the reinsurance caused by un-
fortunate companies. We have long
thought that the business Of insurance
has been In some instances IMPROVE
IDENTIFY stretched by reckless managers
who had ambitious aspirations to ex-
eel In needless rivalries, and In others
mostly stock companiesl by itching
palms Of officers and managers to
make as much money as possible for
their shareholders and themselves
The loss by the Chicago fire has de-
monstrated the truth Of this suspicion.
and II the discovery Is used to the best
advantage in reforming old abuses,
the losses will not be wholly without
compensating return. In a business
that, above almost all Others, should
be marked by candor and frankness,
these desirable qualities have been LOST
sight of In hosts of glib-tongued agents
trayersing the country, seemingly
moro Interested on securing commits
sIons than In establishing the highes'
reputation for their respective institu
tions. Almost all Of the Illinois com
panies have gone by the board.

A Wild womau.

Gebhartville, Somerset county, Penn
sylvania, claims the sensation Of the
week. It has n genuine, slmon-pure
wild woman, almost as nude as was
Eve after the fall, for she wears only
an apron of leaves, sandals OF bark,
and q necklace of %tea-berries. Swift
as a doe, people have rarely been able
to see her features distinctly In her
visits to the neighboring hrm-houses
and outskirts Of the village /; yet those
who have seem her declare that she Is
far from uncomely in person and coun-
tenance. Her oval face Is set with
keen black eyes, and framed In long
masses of flowing black hair ; and with
her tall, slender figure, she has the air
Of the queen Of the forests. Like most
women, she has q great dread Of men,
and bounds away over fences and fields
whenever one attempts to approach.
Yet she Is consistent, andavoids In like
manner too great familiarity with
women. For children, however, she
seems to have a great fondnsss, as was
exemplifled only a few days past.
While passing near the house Of a far
NOR she espied q little girl three or
four years old, playing in the road.
Crouching, she crawled behind a fence
until within a short distance Of the
child, then, with a bound, cleared the
fence, in the next moment seized the
screaming little one, and was away at
the top ofher speed. The mother hear
ing the screams of her child, pursued,
screaming yet more loudly. Her hus-
band, attracted by the cries Of both,
fastened to the chase. Tho wild wo-
man, finding herself encountered by
the weight Of the child, dropped 1t and
escaped. The latter was uninjured,
with the exception Of some scratches,
which, no doubt, are attributable to
the long nails of the strange denlzen Of
the forest.

FRox AURORA, NEv.-A correspon-
dent Of the Sacramento Union at Au-
rora, New, under date Of November
9th, gives this intelligence:
John Stuart and J. G. Murphy load
ed three large teams at Reno with
merchandise for Aurora, and on
Wednesday last, when about half way
across Carson Valley and about the
middle Of the day, n Of the team
sters discovered smoke issuing from
among the goods in his wagon. He
hurrisdly took of tho leaders and
hauled the back-actlon wagon clear ;
then got the other horses away, by
which time the fire had made such
progress, the gasoline being In flames,
that he could only save about 5000
cigars. The wagon was loaded with
gasoline, flour, bacon, sugar and 3
case Of liquors, and valued at about
$l,l00, all Of which was burnt, TO-
gether with the wagon. There were
no matches In the wagon, and there
had been no fire near, either by smok'
ing a pipe or a cigar. The origin Of
the fire Is a mystery, and should be q
caution to teamsters In taking freight
at the low rates that they are required
to do,

A NEWPORT MYsTERY.-A CORES.
pondent of the Newport (R. ~ Noes
says that on Friday last, while some
men at the Torpedo station were at
work inside old Fort Wolcott, the
wheel of their cart sank deep into the
ground. Removing some Of the earth
to find cause for this, one Of the men
struck his spade against what seemed
to be an iron plate. This excited the
curiosity Of oil, and they set to work
with a will to dig away the earth
above the plate. Soon their efforts
were rewarded by the sight Of an iron
door fastened with a rusty bolt. On
breaking this open, they came upon O
flight Of winding stairs, which they
descended, and, arriving at the foot,
they found themselves In o dungeon,
the gloom Of which was made more
marked by the ray Of dim light which
a solitary loophole at the top admitted.
Striking a light 10 dlspel the darkness
OF the dungeon. they found upon the
floor a few withered bones, a skull
and q lantern. The lantern Is of such
an old-fashioned construction and
shape that 1t must have been made
over fifty years ago. It was altogether
a most singular discovery. Who can
tell the deeds which this secret old
dungeon may not have witnessed?
Who can supply q history for those
few dry bones, now brought to light
after the lapse Of years?

New York, November II. = The
probabilities Of Tweed fleeing from
tho city Is still the subject Of much dis
cussion. 1t is stated on reliable au-
thority that he has about perfected his
arrangements for flight, and any day
or moment may witness his departure.
Yesterday he was said to be trying to
dispose of his Erie stock. Well In
formed T~ammanyites think 1t will
take him some time to dispose Of his
great wealth. It Is definitely known
that most Of his personal property has
been undergoing conversion into green
backs for some time. His many as
signments make 1t a matter Of ease to
leave at short notice. Tweed's resig-
NATHAN Is believed to be In the hands
of Mayor Hall, and no selection is
made to fill his place. The Mayor has
been endeavorlng to force 1t upon sew
eral. The most difficulty Is In finding
men to accept any vacant offices under
Tammany since the election. so little
time remains between now and the
meeting Of the Legislature, when 1t Is
expected the whole government OF the
city will DO recast. 1t Is likely the
vacancies existing will continue until
that time. .lag
Alexander Freer said yesterday,
even If he was not counted out Of his
seat In the Legislature, he would not
take 1t, and added that no Tammany
who had been elected to the Senate or
Legislature would 60 to Albany this

Assault % Murder.

from the Sacramento Record, November ia
The region Of Tenth street, near the
corner Of K, was thrown into great
excitement yesterday morning about
half.past 10 o'clock, by an attempt on
the part Of q jealous husband to shoot
his ~disobedIent wife. The particulars,
as near as we could learn them, are
these Some months ago the couple
we're married In this city, and We be-
lieve against the will of the parents Of
at least one Of the parties. Things
seem to have gone on smoothly enough
until the husband discovered that q
ring he had given to his wife was not
worn by her, but had through n Of
her male friends been transferred to
the hand Of another female as o gift.
Remonstrance at such a disposition Of
the husbands present by the wife, and
against further intimacy with the per-
son to whom she had given the ring
were alike UNDECIDED, and 1t appears
that she spent the greater part OF Sat
urday night last at a dance In his COM
pany, II not against the protest Of the
husband, at least without his consent.
This, It seems, made him desperate,
and procuring a pistol he made an
attempt on her life by the use OF 1t.
He seems to have gone into a room
where she stood talking to another
woman and commenced firing Mt her,
missing the first time, slightly grazing
her scalp Just above the forehead the
second, and missing again the third
| time. Just at this juncture her father,
a Mr.. McIntire, stepped in, and Selling
the pistol wrenched 1t from his hand.
In doing 90, however, the pistol went
| of, sending q bullet through the third
| finger of McIntire's left hand. The
husband, w. Mcdonald, was immedi-
ately arrested and taken to the station
house, and the proper surgical aid
rendered to tho wounded wife and her
| father. Her wound was found to be
very slight, however, but one In which
a quarter of an inch, or we might say,
q hairs breadth was all there was to
| spare between life and death. She
seems to have stopped or squatted just
as the shot was fired. and Just In the
nick of tune. A great crowd soon
collected about the scene, and all man.
ner of gossip and stories were set afloat
as to the origin of tho difficulty, the
habits and worthlness Of each OF the
parties; but the above seems to be as
nearly tho correct statement IS we
could obtain. We may say, however,
that Mr. Mcdonald received a fall
from the balcony Of the st. Nicholas
saloon on ] street, some four years
since, In which his skull was fractured,
and many say that he has been at
times Of excitement almost beside
himself ever since.

-"Resolved, That in the opinion of the
House there is no sufficient evidence that
either VIM. McGarraham or the New Idria
Mining Company, have a title either legal or

such proceedings be at once instituted as will
recover the same, and assert the title Of the

The motion to reconsider ii was laid on
the table, the House refusing to order either
