Tho old story.

The official investigation of the Security
Life Insurance Company has disclosed the
usual amount of fraud and perjury in the
official statements made to the department
at Albany. These exposures are now be-
coming so common that one scarcely pauses
to examine them. In this particular case
we find real estate worth little over one
hundred thousand dollars above encum-
brances sworn to as worth nearly half mill
ion the amount of stocks and bonds
owned by the company sworn to as
FIVE hundred and seventy-one thousand
dollars when it was under two hun
dred thousand cash on hand and in
bank sworn to as over two hundred thou
sand dollars when it was in reality not ten
thousand and so on to the end of the in
famous fraud. The questions that will sug-
gest themselves are how such an institution
con have escaped detection SO long? How
many other companies whose statements
are filed away in an incapable department
at Albany are in a similar condition.? What
steps will be taken to bring to justice the
utterers of these perjured statements
Finally, how long will the people allow
these savings bank and insurance swindlers
to 90 unpunished?

The Lenox Gallery.

There are not many ways in which the
munifcence OF wealthy citizens could make
itself more acceptably felt than by the gift
to the public, or to trustees for the public,
of fine gallery of pictures; and Mr.. Lenox
will be gratefully remembered by future
generations of New Workers as the first in
dividual to take great step in this direc-
ton. His present gift is to the art taste of
the metropolitan public as important as was
the gift of the Astor Library in its time to
literary taste and industry, with this differ
ence in favor of the gallery, that public pic
ture galleries are scarcer than public
libraries. AS the Astors must have
chronicled in their family history that they
gave the first free and excellent library, it
must equally stand to the honor of the name
of Lenox that it has the same association
with the first gift Of beautiful gallery OF
pictures. He has hard heart and no eyes
of any account who does not remember with
delight the hours or days spent in picture
galleries. whether in the times when the
mind was impressionable with the freshness
of youth, or in the ampler experiences of
travel, where public pictures are more plen-
tiful than with us but all others will assent
that galleries are educational agencies of
the finer and purer Sort and will hold, we
trust, that the giver of one is entitled to the
largest measure of public gratitude.

Destructive leo Gorges and Floods
in the Ohio Valley.

In the On10 teAieys
The breaking up of the ice in the Ohio
River and its tributaries, the formation Of
gorges and the descent of extraordinary
floods, all of which have combined to pro:
duce disastrous effects throughout the Ohio
Valley region, can be attributed to COM
bination of two causes. These are tempera-
ture and precipitation, respecting which we
have had occasion to make many comments
this winter. During the past two months
the American continent has been swept over
by rapidly alternating areas of high and low
pressure. Each area of high barometer has
been attended by IN exceptional fall of tenn
perature and the formation Of unusually
heavy ice on all the Northern rivers. Sue
ceeding areas of low pressure. but Of high
temperature, with their heavy SHOWS and
rain, have caused the ice fields to partially
break up and descend with the river currents
in large fragments, causing gorges at points
where the channels favored the formation of
such Instructions.
Several Gulf storms, with their atmos-
pheric volumes charged with moisture
almost to the point of saturation, have
passed rapidly over the Upper Ohio Valley
region within a short time. Being swept by
the western margins of these storms the
precipitation over the valley was necessarily
snow, and in immense quantities When
heavy rains follow a great snowfall in a
region drained by rivers whose waters are
deeply frozen the results con be easily con-
ccived. The ice and the snow were present
in the Ohio Valley, and the warm, melting
rain and high atmospheric temperature
that were wanted to produce the
disastrous effects reported were sup
piled by the western storm which
has just passed over the region. With
the double volume of water from rain
and melted snow the ice fields were quickly
ruptured and sent crashing down the swol-
len rivers on their mission of destruction.
We had carefully noted all these varying
weather conditions Us the season advanced,
and warned our readers many weeks ago, as
we'll as recently, of the great danger that
threatened property along the rivers Much
of the destruction of property described in
our columns to-day would have been avoided
if timely precautions had been taken to pre-
vent it.
