AN E L INSURANCE
CT Err X.

A good story is told in connection
with recent fire in this city. The
stock Of goods in the building ada
cent to where the fire occurred was
insured for $125.000. The sky
lights Of this store were broken, let
ting in some water, and there were
scattered over the floor of the upper
story large quantity Of broken
glass, cinders, ashes, &C., giving it a
decidedly bad appearance. A clerk
Of one Of the Offices insuring the
stock in the store comprehended the
situation, and, employing gang of
men, gave the place a thorough
cleaning up before the arrival of the
occupants Of the premises, and there
was scarcely a vestige Of the fire and
water remaining. The insured par
ties put in a claim for 1926, which
was cheerfully paid. Those who
saw the place before the cleaning up
say that, if the damage had been es-
timated while it was in that condi-
ton, the insurance companies would
have been called upon to pay from
$4,000 to 3d. 00.-Bo8ton Traveller,

The Democratic majority in West
Virginia was $3.50 last year. The
Democratic ticket the straight Gree
ley ticket has been beaten in the
recent election there by 5000. This
indicates a gain for Grant in that
state of eight or nine thousand. The
''ground swell'' don't rise worth a
cent. The coalition bubble is burst
ing.

A TERRIBLE ScENE.-During the represen-
tatiou of an aegorical play for the benefit OF
the Aged Women's Home, at the: Newark
Opera House, Friday night, Miss Losiee Coates,
aged IA, passed near the foot lights when her
clothing too fire and she was instantly enveiop-
causing the greatest terror among the children,
whose dresses we're of the same light texture as
her own, and before she could retreat the cloth
ing of Miss Hattie Lyon aged l6, was also hr,
ed. Before persons from the audience could
throw garments about the forms OF the girls: to
smother the flames, they were both terribly
burned. Miss Coates is not expected to Iecoy-
ar but Miss LYON is less seriously injured.
The frightful scene caused a panic among the
large audience who were with difficulty re-
strained from rushing headlong into the street;
Several persons were injured in the crush, and
number of women were carried taintlng into
the air.
