A MARROW ESCAPE FOR A LIFE INSURANCE
CoMPANY.-The American Life Insurance Com
pany of this city came very near meeting with
a serious pecuniary loss in the death of exGov-
ernor Fenton, of Michigan.
Mr.. Fenton about week ago put in an appli
cation for an insurance upon his life to the
amount of $50, 600 at the branch office of this
company. Unluckily for his heirs, but very
luckily for the company, he put off the medical
examination for a week on account of being
pressed with business. On the day after the
application was filed fire occurred in the town
where he lived, and in running to it the Cover
nor injured himself in the stomach by running
against post, and died the next day.
The loss by one days delay was werth in this
case the snug sum of $20.000 The singular
circumstance is creating much comment in the
locality where the deceased was well known.
TOMATO KEToHUP.-Tomato ketchup comes
under the head of sauces, and is liable to stamp
