To the Editor of the Globe.
Will you please decide the following bet? A
bet u that Washburn would not get 1000 ma
jority. Now B claims he won the bet; that
Washhurn has about 5000 majority. Now
wants to know if all the votes that were cast
for Donnelly We're returned for him. would
Washburn's majority be over 2,001? II it
would, is willing to give up the bet; if not,
he is not. Please give us your opinion, and
oblige ONE VINO BETS.
While it is impossible to determine how
many votes Mr.. Donnelly lost by the failure
of returns, there is no doubt that on fair
basis the majority for Washburn would be
under 1000. Before the contest is ended
even that figure may be wiped out altogether.
In view Of the contest which MIR. Don.
nelly has determined to make for
Washburn's seat, all bets, either on
the result or the majority in the
district, will properly stand drawn. This is
in accordance with the decision of the Pres
idential election of 1876, where all bets were
declared off. AS the new Congress will not
meet until a year from December, unless
Hayes calls an extra session, which is not
probable, over a year must elapse before it
is definitely decided who holds the seat. 1t
should be borne in mind that even an abso-

NEW YORK, Nov. Polite insurance compa-

Binghampton, Saturday night last, of Col.
Walton Dwight, who, within three months pre-
vious, had succeeded in getting policies in favor
of his wife and son amounting to 1858, 600, and
has paid about $4,000 for premiums since he
was financially embarrassed, and it is thought

offices, that Dwight intended to be a dead man
before another premium was due.
BINGHAMPToN, N. Y. Nov. 20.-The rumor
about the fraudulent plot against the life in
snrance companies by the late Col. Walton
Dwight, is regarded here as unfounded. His
death was undoubtedly caused by gastric fever
of malarial origin.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 20-At Cambridge, O., yes
terday, in the case of Eliza Baton against the
Michigan Mutual Life Insurance company, the
jury rendered a verdict for plaintiff for $3.50,
being $4,000 policy, with interest, less the
amount OF the note given for premium with
interest. No money was ever paid for this risk,
and the policy was surrendered and the note
returned four months before the assured's
death. The decision was given on account of
an extension OF time on the note.

lPhiladelphia Special
On Wednesday Mrs. Martha Gilbert, whose
husband has small farm III the swamp near
Camden, II. j., was attracted by the contin-
ued barking of a strange dog Upon the
approach of Mrs Gilbert it crouched at her
feet as though it had something to COM
nunicate. Mrs. Gilbert tried to take the
dog to the house, but it refused to stir in
any path except a narrow muddy one that led
directly into the swamp. Mrs. Gilbert got
her husbands boots, and struck out on
the little dogs trail. After going about
quarter OF 9 mile she was brought to a sud-
den halt by the sight of a mans head and
shoulders protruding from the black
laud a few feet from the edge of
the path. The mans head was bent
forward, the eyes closed, and the face black.
His arms were extended, ono grasping q low
tussock and the other resting few inches in
the mud, stretched straight out. Mrs. Gill
bert 1loundered into the mud to ascertain
whether or not the man was living. She
herself began to sink, and was only able by
the exercise of her whole strength to get
back on the path. When she did get back
she summoned her husband. Mr. Gilbert
with two men, hurried to the rescue The
man was IN the same position and still I'M
conscious. Mrs. Gilbert said the left arm
was buried a little deeper, and that tho
whole body had sunk perceptibly during the
time OF her absence. After en-
| hours careful work the body WAS
hauled out into the path. It was still
warm; the heart WIGS beating family. 1t was
taken to the house and rubbed with flannel.
consciousness was fully restored after a
while, and then the stranger told that his
name was Charles Yopp, q cigar maker of
Trenton, and that he had been hunting for
Water-cfesses IN the swamp. In attempting
to push himself from tussock to tussock to
| reach a particularly fine water-cress, he
dropped his basket in the mud, and, without
| q thought OF sinking deeper than the tops of
MS shoes, ne had jumped of into TIE mud,
but his legs went down into the black de-
post as though 1t were water. He caught
at the tnssock, and was about to
gain firm hold when he sank
deeper and deeper. There seemed to be
something below pulling him down. With
the darkness his strength returned, but, as it
| seemed TO MIN the tussock had moved two or
| three inches from his hand, he exhausted
himself With cries taat were only answered
by the whine of his little dog in the path.
It was calculated by him in his frenzy that
ne was sinking at the rate OF one inch
every hour. stupor fell upon him toward
the middle OF the night. He vas buried
nineteen hours. On Thursday Gilbert took
the old man home. For o while it was
thought that his body would get its strength
and yigor back, but on Friday he grew
weaker, and On Saturday morning Corone,
Murray was notified OF his death.

SHOT BY TEE MARSHA,
STEWARDS REMAINS.

Their Whereabouts Still Mystery--Large
Reward offered for Conviction of the
Thieves Without Reference to Recovery
of tho Body.
New YORK, Nov. 20.-The police are making
many arrests Of suspicious persons and one ex-
PLANTATION of their zeal is that they are anxious
to possess the $4,000 to be paid upon the con-
viction of the thieves who stole the body of A.
I. Stewart. 1t is not necessary now to find the
body to secure the reward.
The new reward offered by Judge Hilton
makes no mention of the recovery Of the body,
but simply offers remuneration to those who
may give evidence to convict the thieves, be-
lieved to be at least five in number according to
the advertisement. An extra says: From in
formation received to-day from sources which
do not admit of question of their veracity. it is
safe to say the remains of Mr.. Stewart now
in possession of the estate. OF the five princi-
pals in the affair four are row in custody and
the leader remains to be captured"
Superintendent of police Walling states that
he has neither knowledge of the recover of
Stewards body nor any clue. The superin1en-
dent also says the suspected arrests are not
suspected OF connection with the Stewart
robbery.
New YoRK, Nov. 21.-Up to an early hour
this morning the police say no fresh arrests
have been made IN connection with the Stewart
matter, nor any clue been discovered tending
to lead to the recovery of the body.

I
| American Public Health Association.
| RICHMOND, Nov. 2O.-The American Publ,
Health association was called to order thi
morning by President Harris. Previous tt
proceeding to the regular order of business
the president laid before the association
letter from Gov. Porter, of Tennessee, regret

to hold the next meeting at Nashville. The

sad neglect and violation of the laws Of health
in regard to deposits of fetid matter and re-
fuse and animal and vegetable matter and in
attention to purity of drinking water. The
conclusions reached are as follows:
First-We have not in a solitary instance
found case of yellow fever which we could
ustifably consider as of denavo origin, indig-
enous to it's locality.
Second-1n respect to most OF the various
towns which we visited, aud which were points
OF epidemic prevalence, testimony showing
the importation was direct and convincing in
its character.
Third-The transmission of yellow fcver be-
tween points separated by any considerable
distances, appeared to be wholly due to human
intercourse. In some instances the poison
carried in clothing about people going in
infected districts. In others, it was conveyed
in cotton bagging or other goods Of
the same description.
Fourth-Ihe weight Of testimony is very
pronounced against further use of disinfect-
ants. Physicians in infected towns, almost
without exception, state that they are useless
agents to arrest the spread of yellow fever,
while some of them affirm that their vapors
are seriously prejudicial to the sick.
Fifth-Personal prophylax;s by means of
drugs or other therapeutics, has proved con-
slant failure. respectable number Of physi-
clans think the use of small doses of quinine
of some use in prevention.

not singular fatality that I. z. Wright has

sible that $3 per Gay or membership in the

manager of the Sierra Nevada, but were, to a
great extent, quieted by his proposition to adj
