A SINGULAR CASE.
Reported Defrauding Of Insurance Com.
pauies.
A Man Gets Heavily Insured and then
POisOns Himself.

New York, November 10. 1t is stated that
Col Dwight, who died in Bnghampton, few
DAYS ago, gradually killed himself, and that Life
Insurance Cos. will contest the payment in conse-
quence.
In the latter part Of September he applied for
insurance in several Life Companies, aud was will
ling to take policies for almost any amount, but
insisted that all previous payment should be made
quarterly.
In less than three months he succeeded 10 Sc
curing policies to the extent Of S256, 900, in favor
OF his wife and son, and applied to nearly every
insurance company in the United States, among
others the Union Mutual Of Maine, New England
Mutual of Massachusetts,, Mutual National OF Yer
mont, who issued policies Of 10000 each. The
Equitable had $40, 900. and Manhattan $40, 900 on
his life.
1t appears from reports published that he had
been suffering from henoirhage of the lungs, and
had been purposely exposing himself to bring
about death before the second quarterly payments
should become due, and finding that he was likely
to live longer than he anticipated, he took poison.
Several physicians and agents OF Life Insurance
Companies have gone to Binghampton to investi-
gate.

Four Pea CENrs-From an extended article
in the Boston Herald Gull the following infor
nation regarding these bonds as being of inter-
est TO all classes:
The Maverick National Bank of Boston, as.
sumed the Government Agency for the sale of
the four per cents, about ten months since, be-
ing the first to introduce them to the people of
New England. and since then they have sold
many millions, orders coming not only from their
immediate vicinity, but from all parts of New
England this agency acting as the distributing
medium for this section of the country, furnish
ing the banks largely, as they make a saving of
time by ordering through them
The four per cent. loan has twenty years
to ru n, and is regarded with favor on account of
it, permaneucy, as we'll as its absolute security,
while its freedom from all taxation renders this
four per cent. interest equal to five and one half
per cent on any other kind of investment.
The immense demand for them comes chiefly
from persons holding trust funds and those having
500 or upwards to invest where they feel it will
be safest aud the returns surest. There are fifty
small purchasers to one large buyer, and the for
mer are altogether of the middling and working
classes
People have made a grand move in taking and
holding for investment their own national debt,
thus retaining in this country the vast amount of
ipteres, that would otherwise be paid to foreign
capitalists.
The Maverick National bank also does a large
business in all other issues of Government loans,
and buy, sell and exchange any United States
curitie', either delivering to the parties address,
or in Washington-wbere many prefer.

stOthk'
TUESDAY, November 18th.
Clsrissa b. Abbot VS.. Lauretta Clark. This
case was finished aud given to the jury by
half past ten. The jury found that the lot in
which the plaintiff sues for her dover, was used
as wood lot in connection with the homestead,
before Mr.. Abbot's death, and that his widow,
the plaintiff, was therefore dowabe in it,
Helen b. Moves VS.. Joanna B Gilman. Ia this
case, as before reported, a jury was emrsnneled
yesterday morning and they went to Watervle
to view the premises in dispute. As as the
dover case was disposed of it was resumed, Mr.
Webb opening for the pit. The action is what
case to establish by judgment Of the court, the
true dividing line between the lots of the parties.
The title which has descended to the present own
ers, is derived from deeds given by original pr Y
prietors in the latter part of the last aud in the
early part of the present century The exact line
sought for must be determined by ancient roads,
fences and monume nts, and the recollection of
aged people, who knew the locality in their youth.
Although the value of the land 10 dispute is in
considerable, the parties regard the true ocston
Of the dividing line of great consequence. There
Is a large mass of documentary evidence in the
case, in addition to the testimony Of numerous
witnesses. The parties are evidently prepared for
. thorough and exhaustive Investigate and the
end can hardly be reached in less than three OF
four days.
