Another Insurance swIndIe.

The appointment receiver has been
asked for by the American Popular Life
Insurance Company of New York, and
it is believed that steps will be taken for
the criminal prosecution of the officers,
who are charged by the Insurance Su-
perintendent with deliberate fraud and
perjury. The company has been under
investigation by the department for some
time past, and on Friday report was
prepared and submitted to the Attorney
General.
Not even the history of the Security
or of the Continental presents darker
picture than is here exhibited. For
tunately the number of sufferers will be
smaller than by the collapse of the other
companies, as the business of the Amer
lean Popular was organized in 1866 with
a paid up capital of 100000, which was
afterward increased to $500 600. In 1868
Thomas S. Lambert, NJ. D., was made
president, which position be has held
ever since.
The company has differed from other
life companies in the manner of estab-
fishing its rates of insurance, which
have been fixed in each individual case,
and the amount charged made to depend
upon the probable or supposed indica-
tions of longevity of the applicant. In
this way very healthy persons have
been insured at low rates as compared
with the fixed charges of other COM
panies, and impaired risks have been
taken at higher rates, that would have
been rejected by other companies.

THE TIMES NEW BLOOMFIELD, pAs MAY b 1871

European war, If II became general,
would stimulate trade but some insisted
that II war should be confined to Russia
and Turkey, and should be fought out
in year, there was enough grain and
provisions in each country TO supply the
demand. Both countries are exporters
of wheat One prominent dealer said
that war would not have as much influ-
ence on the price of grain as the drouth
in California this winter, which pre-
vents successful crop next summer
In the produce exchange, however, the
feeling was very buoyant.

Where Wheat Comes From.

AT the present time 1t will be particu-
larly interesting to know from which
sources are drawn the supply of wheat.
From the following statement showing
the imports of wheat into the United
Kingdom during the fifteen months
ended March 81, which is furnished by
the bureau Of statistics it will be seen
that nearly half of the wheat imported
into Great Britain is from this country.

THE READING RAILROAD COMPANY
is making a gallant fight with the
Brotherhood of Engineers, and so far
the indications are that the company
will be successful. We could never see
the propriety of any secret organization
trying to dictate to the owners of the
capital which furnishes the employ
ment as to who should and who should
not be i'm their service.
If any person does not like the wages
he gets or the rules of the company, it
is his privilege to seek other employ
ment, but he has no right to interfere
with those who wish to take his place.
The strike of hands on railroad is an
interference with the public who use the
road, and who are entitled to an as
surance that the published schedule of
road will be faithfully adhered to.
The Reading company are trying to
protect the public from the dangers of
such an outrage as has heen inflicted
upon those dependent upon several
other roads in the year past, and for SO
doing will receive the thanks of the
railroad travellers every where.

Of fractions horses that he allowed 10 pass
the front team, which was too near the
fence TO admit Of clear passage, one Of
the horses In Mr.. Smiths team trod in
side Of the traces of the passing team,
which caused him to rear 30 high that he
fell backward on the beam of the plow and
was instantly killed. The other horse was
also thrown back on tep Of the dead horse,
and Mr.. Smith sprang on his head and held
him down until the harness was cut loose,
when he jumped up uninjured, but there
lay his comrade, not muscle moving, and
death must have ensued the instant he
struck the plow.

Our WASHINGTON Correspondent
says There is much distress in Wash
ington just now, because of the whole
sale discharge of employees in the
Treasury which took place the 18th
ult. Over three hundred were dismissed
and there are further removals yet to be
made. This process of wedding out the
unnecessary employees of an over
crowded Department, is always painful
in Washington, it is unusually so be-
cause it throws so many out of employ
inent who are poor and needy, have no
other means of support, and find them
selves in city which has really none
but government business to speak of,
and nothing to take the place of the reg
ular pay they have received from the
government. These political situations
are really undesirable if one can only
look at them in a true light. To begin
with there is never surety of retaining
them. One is liable at any time to be re-
moved. Then the pay is small for the
labor is light. 1t is certainly true that
there is nothing that pays half so poorly
and is so uncertain as politics, and the
most unpolItic thing man or woman
who can earn an honest living by other
means can do is to accept a government
Office.

WAR has been declared between Rus
sia and Turkey, and the first battle has
been fought. The Turks claim to be
victorious in this skirmish. The pres
ent indications are that England and
Austria will be drawn into the war, and
perhaps other European nations. At
any rate all are making preparations for
the worst and the consequence is that
thousands of producers will be turned
into consumers, thereby causing mar
ket for the supplies of the United States.

The European War and Our tlralA.

A New York letter says Business
men are greatly excited here over the
prospect OF war in Europe, and hope is
largely centered on the impetus that will
be given to trade. Among grain and
produce dealers a slight difference of
sentiment was found. All agreed that

Crops in Sacramento Valley.

Wheat is heading out in the Sacra-
mento valley, California, but all crops,
except on low lands, are suffering for
rain. 1t is beginning to be feared that
there is not moisture enough to mature
the crops, and without considerable rain,
soon not more than half crop can be
expected.

was placed in vault about two weeks
since. AS he narrowly escaped burial
while in trance several years ago, his
wife was requested to visit his body un-

stated that last Saturday signs of life
were noticed, and the body was removed
from the vault. Attending physicians
pronounce II a case of suspended anima-

LAST WEEK company of scientific
gentlemen called on the President, and
after much preliminary conversation on
general and scientific topics, they broach-
ed the subject of appointments and
urged the merits, enlarging upon the
qualifications of their candidate for the
office of Commissioner of Agriculture.
The President heard them through and
then mildly inquired if they could in
form him when Commissioner Watts
(the present Commissioner of Agricul-
ture) intended to resign. No, they could
not, they had no information on that
subject. "When you hear of his resigna-
tom said the President, "come over

Strange Sequel TO a Drowning.

The Baltimore NeWs has the follow
ing: Early this morning Officer Stew
art found the body of man floating III
the water at Rieman's wharf, near the
drawbridge. The body was secured and
Coroner Ireland summoned. The man
was about forty years old, five feet seven
inches high, and of stout build.
The corpse had apparently been in
the water about three weeks, and was
dressed in white flannel undershirt, blue
flannel overshirt, dark blue cloth coat,
black ribbed trousers and light soled
boots. In the pockets were found buff
envelope directed to Michael -, No.
4,364 -, the rest of the superscription
having been erased by the action of the
water.
A jury of inquest was empanelled,
and several witnesses sworn all of whom
identified the remains as those of James
w. Drury, a boatman. Mr.. Thomas
Finn, one of the jurymen, thinking the
inquest at an end went away, and the
coroner was necessitated to summon an
other juryman to act in his place, when /,
mirable dictu, the very Mr.. Drury who
had been identified as the drowned man,
was the man summoned to fill the va
cancy on the jury. The witnesses had
erred and Mr.. Drury acted as juryman.
