ORRVILLE ITEMS.

On Saturday morning we had a
cry Of fire caused by an oil explo-
sion. 1t is the same old story-an
attempt to fill a lamp while burning.
A little son and daughter of the
widow Rush, finding the lamp near
ly empty, placed it upon the floor,
and attempted to replenish it with
oil without extinguishing the light.
The fame leaped into the jug and
was in a fair way for causing con-
fiagration, when a neighbor ran in
and threw the jug out before much
damage was done.
The workmen are nearing the top
of Breneman's three-story building.
This new block is quite an addition
to our place, but lacks architectural
beauty and convenience.
We have an organization called
the Sabbath School Union, which EN-
braces the schools of this place and
vicinity. This Union holds an an
nual picnic. The third annual re
union will be held on the FAN
Grounds in a few days.

According to the reports made to the
Life Insurance superintendent Of the
State of New York, there are seventy-Gne
life insurance companies doing business
in the United States, with aggregate
Rsaats Of over S243,000,000. Twenty
nine of these, which were organized
from two to seven years since, snow an
aggregate deficit Of over 81 ,SS2, 600, And
tina peenliar feature of the matter Is that,
notwithstanding this enormous deficit,
they have during the year 1901 paid
to stockholders dividends 9mOunting in
the aggregate TO $l72, 900. The question
that naturally arises in this connection
is, why do these companies jeopardize
! the interests Of policy-holders by paying
| these large dividends to STOCKHOLDERS,
instead of allowing the pIofts TO 90

| The Hudson River Highwaymen nj
WOPk-A Desperate Encounter in
Putnam Comfy.
From the Putnam County Courier.l
On the evening of Tuesday last, be.
tween the hours of seven and eight
o clock, one of the highest crimes known
10 the criminal law was committed
within few miles of Carmel. Mr.. h.
s. Lewis. travelling agent for the l..
Bradley Knife Company, OF Waterbury,
Conn, was driving with his team from
Fishkill to this place, and after crossing
the new bridge at the upper end Of the
dam property, in the town of Kent, was
accosted by two men, who subsequently
proved to be highwaymen in pursuit OF
his money. They came out of the ad-
jacent woods, where they probably had
been concealed awaiting his arrival.
One of them seized his horses by the bits
and stopped them, at the same time pre-
senting a revolver pointed in the direc-
ton OF the driver, while the other took
a position near the front wheel of the
wagon and demanded Mr. Lewis to hand
over his money, accompanying his re-
quest by an argument in the shape Of
the muzzle of revolver. Mr.. Lewis
had O watch dog in the wagon with him,
which at this moment started for the
man holding the horses, but was soon put
out of theSway hy welldirected ball
from the villain he attacked. His mas
ter then drew his revolver and fired, but
unfortunately without effect. The fire
was vigorously returned by the man
standing near the front wheels, the ball
passing through the left arm Of Mr..
Lewis, and but for package of letters,
papers and photographs which he car
ried in his side pocket, and through
which another ball partially penetrated,
he would not be here to relate to us
these facts. Several shots were then
fred by both parties, but without pereep-
tible effect. Finding the barrels Of his
revolver empty, Mr.. Lewis sprang down
from his seat in the wagon to take the
chances of persQnul encounter. Seiz-
ing hold of the man near his front
wheels, desperate struggle ensued, in
which both sustained considerable injury.
Fearing the result, .thelm in front Of
the horses, who had until this time
stood at his post, a silent locker on,
came to the assistance of his comrade,
which, of course, soon determined the
issue. Both robbers then seized Mr..
Lewis. and, after rihing his pockets, took
the keys of. his wagon, opened it. and
took therefrom black leather satchel,
containing all his account books and
about three hundred dollars in mouey,

Furniture from the houses OF Messrs.
Glenn and johnson and thair colleagues
was drawn through the streets by
raiding squads Of ragamutlins, in
the plain sight of thousands, without
opposition or remOnsiFance. Hontres
were fed with pianos and sideboards;
mirrors we're launched with a cheer

Charles street, from Fayette to Lexing-
ton, was ankle-deep In feathe-s from the
beds of the Glenn family. So complete
was the panic that, as eye-witnesses
have related, there were whole days
when a detachment Of twenty boys,
armed only with sticks and stones,
might have entered any house in the
city and pillaged il at ease. The au-
thoritiss, though fairly warned-by writ
ten circulars, freely distributed, inviting
citizens to tar and feather johnson and
Glenn--had adopted no measures to
prevent the gathering of the mob; and
to disperse it or check its costly pranks.
