A SINGULAR INSURANCE CASE
A curious suit is likely to grow out of
the killing of Mr.. SHREDDER by Henry
Ward, Qate Of Washington and Bal
timore,) aside from the criminal as
poets of tho case, which, themselves,
will be strange enough. The de-
ceased had his life heavily insured
in N. Y. life insurance company,
and the corporation issuing the poll
cy now proposes to bring a suit for
damages against Mr.. Ward for de-
stroying It's property. Leading law
yers express the opinion that the
ease is actionable in all its details, as
Mr.. Ward is understood to be the
possessor of large wealth recently
INHERITED from his father, it is be-
lieyed the company can recover the
amount it has to pay Oh Shroder's
policy.

In calling attentionto the increase
of socialism in Spain the Pail Mall
Gayette adds another to the numer-
GUS evidences that the present strug-
Gle in Paris is not an isolated mani
festation, but is part and parcel of
the widespread discomfort and hos
tility to the prevalent order ofthings
which exists all over Europe among
the working classes. The Partisan
working-men broke into insurrection
because fitting opportunity presen-
ted itself, but in Germany, Italy and
Spain the same class of men are
ready to use the same means TO threw
off the yoke of those whom they re-
gard as their oppressors the moment
the opportunity is found. Former
revolutions in France and elsewhere
in Europe have been directed against
the monarchial principle. The Paris
instruction is not simply revolt of
Republication against monarchy,
but an effort on the part Of the work
ing-men to govern themselves, and to
put an end to the political Importance
Of both the aristocratic and the agri-
cultural classes. The fact that it has
the sympathy, if not the active sup
port, of the International Working
mems Society shows how radically it
differs from the purely Republican
instructions that in former days
were fomentsd by purely political
secrect societies.

stepped up to us and said he would
pay every cent he owed us if he liv-
ed until Saturday night. We pre-
sumo he died. Another said he
would settle as sure as shooting.
We are led to the conclusion that
shooting is uncertain. Another said
he hoped to go to the devil if he did
not pay us in three days. Haven't
seen him since, suppose he's gone,
but We trust he has not hoped in
vain. Quite Il number said they
would see us tomorrow. These

would pay us as soon as he got some
money. The man would not lie, so
of course, he has not got cent.
