LOOSE INSURANCE BUSINESS
The fact tat an agent of an insurance
company could abstract from time to time
sums aggregatlng Sl00. Geo is certain proof
that the company was loosely conducted,
and deserved to suspend. Such facts are
made public in the report of the alleged dc.
facation of the Atlantic and Pacific Com
pany of Chicago and the Peoples Company
of Philadelphia. The latter which is the
heaviest loser, appears to have been doing
business IN this state contrary to law.
OTHER INSURANCE COMPANIES

cation Of Harrison Prindlc, announced yes

friends of Mr.. Prndic claim that the
Philadelphia company which has failed is
in his debt, and that he has absentcd him.
self because of fear of prosecution by the
State insurance department. The story,
though plausible, is discredied.
NEW FIELD OF CRIME.
The successful abduction of little Charley
Ross in Philadelphia has produced already,
as the inevitable result, fresh candidates in
this new field Of crime. A case of this
kind occurred in this city on Saturday. A
beggar presented himself at house down
town, and while asking for aims made off
with thrce-year old child. A mere acct
dent discovered the stolen child the same
evening in a tenement house, whittier she
had been conveyed. The worthlessness of
the police of Philadelphia has undoubtedly
been the means of inaugurating an era of
child stealing, which can only be stopped
by stern, swift justice on any perpetrators
caught in the act.
a STRANGE ADVERTISEMENT
The following advertisement appears in
one oil morningpapers "A New York
gentleman of ample means, in the hope Of
saving the life of his invalid wife who is
growing insane over the Ross abduction,
will pay an amount equal to the reward,
viz, 1000, for the return to him of
Charles b. Ross, in order that he may re.
store the child to its parents. While op-
posed to compromising Il felony, he will
act sQuarely in this case for the above rea-
sons. On receipt of an answer from the
right parties proposing any reasonable plan
Tor the exchange of child and money.
money and man will be ready. Address
Arthur Purcell, general post office, Phila-
delphia."
LOSSES by THE PENNSYLVANIA FLOOD.
No trustworthy estimate of the loss of
lie or damage to property by the Pennsyl-
vania Hood can be made from the confused
and conflicting reports received. One hun
dred and sixteen bodies have been recover
ed, anu 100 more persons are missing. Re
porters who have Travelled over tie districts
say that not less than 215 lives were lost,
and Others state the number with confd
ence at 2l9. There is absolutely no means
of estimating the value of property destroy
ed. SO far as such n calamity can be rec
koned and weighed and measured, the
flood at Pittsburg seems TO have entailed a
deeper disaster than the collapse of the rot
ten dam on Mill River. In the loss of life,
even, so far as that loss is certainly known
it was more destructive. In the annihlla-
ton of the results of human labor and hui
man skill, it appears to have been at least
equal to it.
TIE REMARKABLY TRATERNAL FEELING
developed at the camp meeting at Round
Lake has extended to the cncampment at
Sea Cliff The Methodist brethren from
the south express their great surprise at the
warmth of lhier greeting and the earnest
ness of the assembly in its work. There
are all the fcryor and the energy of the
traditional camp meeting, with little of the
Objectionable features that have SO often
maTed such gatherings. There seems to
be good reason for the hope that the close
affiliations of this meeting will pave the
way for the organic union of the north and
south branches OF the Methodist church.
WHALING At RoCKAwAY.
On Monday, three men, while trolling
for bluelish off Rockaway Beach, had their
attention attracted by noise and the agita
tion of the water in a small pool on the
sand bar near Barren Island On approach
ing nearer they discovered large fish
which had been left stranded by
the receding tide. Landing on the
bar, they discovered the fish to be a
young black whale. One of the party,
after several blows, finally struck blood
vessel. The blubber penetrated was thir-
teen inches thick. The whale threw up
spouts of blood fifteen feet high, and bled
to death IN about one hour. With the aid
of dozen fishermen the party rolled the
fish into wagon, and hauled him to New
York. His weight was 2160 pounds, his
length fourteen feet
