A Timely Warming.

W. ID. Hill, Superintendent of In
surance, in his report TO the Ohio
House of Representatives. has the fol-
lowing, which should serve as warn.
ing to all effecting Life Insurance:
There is class OF persons in Ohio
representing an institution located in
the State OF Pennsylvania called the
U. B. Mutual Aid Society ofLebanon,
Pa. They are insuring the lives of the
people of Ohio for small sum and is
suing Life policies called certificates
of membership.
They have not dollar on deposit
in Pennsylvania and none in Ohio.
They claim to operate under a law
passed by the Legislature of Ohio in
1872 authorizing the Incorporation and
organization OF mutual aid societies.
This law was only intended for the
creation and operation of these socie-
ties in Ohio but similar institutions in
other States have taken advantage OF
it and pretend that the Law of Ohio
extends its Jurisdiction over the whole
Union for that purpose. Scarcity OF
money and hard times induce unsus-
pecting persons to insure their lives in
these societies because it is cheap with
out considering their ability to pay.
The result is ruinous competition,
wholesale swindling, a few well paid
agents aud officers and duped and
swindled victims. Ifa man expects
and hopes to die in a very short time,
that his family may realize on his pol
icy, these aid societies afford ample
means OF cheap insurance tor the sur
vivOrs to pay, by numerous asses
ments without the reserve and securi.
~ for return of a later period.
The operation of one OF these socie
lies located at North Lewisburg in
Champaign county right here i'll the
city of Columbus, since the convening
of the Legislature, presents so Aagrant
a violation of every principle of COM
mon sense and OF justice that the At
,orney General OF the State felt called
upon to interpOse his official authori.
ty and commence proceeding in the
Supreme Court of the State to dissolve
that corporation. That method OF do
ing business is one OF the inevitable
incidents of such legislation as thai
herein referred to, and can be easily
practiced by all such societies if they
are SO disposed. They are and were
intended TO be independent OF the in.
surance department of the State. My
opinion being requested here, allow
me to earnestly recommend the imme.
diate repeal of the law of 1872 also the
passage of an act providing severei
and surer penalties for the violation
of the insurance laws of the State"

pondent reviewing the actual effects
in that presidency of the famine and
the diseases consequent on the famine,
says: "The registered deaths of the
present year up to the end of June
were 10000 above the average. This,
according to the opinion of the dis
trict officers, does not represent moro
than twO.thirds of the actual mOrtali-
ty, and we have further to add the
deaths which have occurred since and
have not yet been officially reported.
The correspondents conclusion is that
not less that 100000 persons have fall
len victims, and even these figures
will probably be largely increased be-
fore the famine and its after-wave of
suffering have finally passed away.

Shall We Have Another Moon!
The distinguished astronomer, Prof.
Watson, of Ann ArbOr Observatory,
recently expressed the opinion to an
interviewer that as the planet Mars
had been known for some time to be
surrounded with a sort Of nebulOsity
or halo-blur.' like the zodiacal light
about the earth, the moons lately dis
covered may be new, condensed from
that nebulosity. The ingenious re-
porter then asked if the zodiacal light.
in case it revolved round the earth,
and not as many supposed, round the
sun, might not also give US the bene-
fit of another moon or two. The
Professor said that when he was in
the Indian Ocean, in 1874, he distinct
ly saw the zodiaeal light extending
from horizon to horizon, and thus he

Fraud.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 5.-The Chron-
icle publishes the statement of John
e. Meyers, the suspended ConsulGen-
eral to China, relative to his suspen.
sion by Minister Seward, which he
claims was prompted by improper
motives, and that Stewards hostility
was due to the fact that Meyers Op.
posed him in corrupt and improper
transactions; that Seward was inter-
ested in building roads and railways
In the vicinity of Shanghai, and used
his official influence to force those en-
terprises upon the Chinese pc ople in
contravention of the principles OF in
ter national law and treaty obligations !;
that Seward leased tho Consulate
buildings and rented them to the
United States at profit Of $1O0 per
month that one Of the United States
Marshals, John Phoenix, had been
serving five years under temporary
appointment at an annual salary OF
81 l,OO0, while the fees of the Office had
been appropriated by Seward and
Bradford, Vice Consul at Shanghai,
and that the same course had been
pursued with PheniX's predecessors.
and that the record had been mutilated
to cover up those illegal practices.
These and other transactions were
by Meyers. and met his Op-
position, which occasioned Stewards
hostility. The statement was prepar-
ed by the aid of counsel, while Mey-
ers was recently Ia this city, aud with
the accompanying documents will be
presented to the Senate Committee.

How and why Cassf 3 N .ClaYKill-
ed the Darkey.
The story of the killing of a colored
man named Perry White by the Hon.
Cassius M. Clay, at Whitehall, Madi-
son county, Ky, recently, is thus told :
General Clay, had employed Whites
mother as a cook, but, finding that she
had been robbing him of silver plates
and other articles, discharged her. On
Sunday morning. he started on horse
back from his farm, six miles from
Richmond. Ky.,to visit negro church
in the neighborhood for the purpose
of hiring another servant. While on
his way he discovered loose horse in
the pasture near the roadside, and
Perry Smith endeaSoring to conc cal
himself behind the animal. White
had threatened Clay's life and was
known as desperate character, and,
seeing him, Clay Immediately leaped
down, confronted the negro and Or
dered him to throw up his hands.
The negro obeyed, aud Clay talked to
HIM roughly, and ordered him to leave
the place, telling him that if he moved
from his place until he (Clay) was re-
mounted, he would kill him. AS
soon as Clay had started for his horse
the negro rushed after him but Clay
turned suddenly and fired twice, hit.
ting the negro in the ueck and breast.
Gen. Clay then rode to town and de-
livered himself to the authorities. The
feeling of the community is entirely
with Clay. the negro having the rep
utation of a bully and dangerous
character. A coroner's jury Justifies
the act.

H0FIid Murder i'm TFum bul
County.

HoFFfd Murder i'm Trumbul 4
A dispatch from Warren dated the
7th inst, says:
A cold-blooded and diabolical mur-
der occurred last evening at the quiet
town of Burghill, Trumbull County,
distant about fourteen miles north east
of this city. The murderer, MikeKel-
ly, is known to be usually a quiet
person, but possessing very bad tenn
per. At the time of the occurrence he
was perfectly sober, while the muir
dered man, James Riley, had been
drinking, and was thought to be intcX
icated. 1t seems that Riley and mail
named Hepler had been involved iii
some difficulty, and each had caused
the other TO bo put under bonds to
keep the peace. Kelly was witness
in the case against Riley, and the lat
ter swore vengeance upon him for hi.
testimony, claiming that it was false.
Riley came into the store of Morrow
& Vanness. at Burghill, last evening,
and said that he was going to whip
Kelley for testifying against him as he
did. Shortly afterward Kelley walk
ed. into the store, and Riley, going to-
ward him, said: "Either you or l will
have to be whipped" AS he advanced
Kelley retreated until he reached the
scales, from which he quickly lifted a
two pound weight and hurled atRiley,
striking him on the right temple, and
from the effects of which he died in .
staDtly. Kelley, however, with a fe-
rocity equaled only by the brute crea-
tioD, pounded the PROSTATE man re-
peatedly with the weight, and, before
he could be deferred from doing so,
jumped on the body and stamped with
both feet until the by.standers inter
fered to prevent. He was quickly se-
cured, brought to this city in the night
and placed in the County Jail. The
officers were required to use the ut.
most caution to keep him from being
lynched.
