assignment to Benjamin Hunter OF any policy

policy belongs the estate OF Hunter il it is to be
recognized belonging TO anybody. But here is
the point raised and il successful will defeat the
Armstrong;. The Mutual Life Company assert
that. the claim of the Hunter family will
not be recognized, court of justice

habit of insuring mon and numbering them for the
sake OF obtaining money upon their policies. Then

VILLAGE AND DEPART WITH BOOTY.
Residents Of the quiet village of Southport Conn.
were awakened at an early hour yesterday morning
by the sound Of two loud explosions. Southport
is not manufacturing town, and there
is nothing that would allow its inhabitants
food for speculation as to the probable causes
OF these unusual noises at such uncanny hour.
The village watch the alert, but most of tho
inhabitants dropped OF to finish their sleep. 1t
not until shortly after FIVE o'clock that the Of
tho occurrences was ascertained The village watch
passing by the post Office building noticed that
there was evidence of robbers having been in the
building. The safe was found to have been blown
open and its contents were taken. The Postmaster
was summoned. but he could not toll tho extent OF
tho robbers dcpredations until he learned the
amount of postage stamps in tho stamp drawer Tho
robbers also took considerable money, rifed regis
tered letters and carried of some Of his personal
property. 1t was found, shortly after o'clock
that the Office of the shipping house OF Messrs w. b.
Mceker N son had also been entered by the thieves
of between 800 and $4,000 in bills and $1,000 la
notes and bonds, which, however. are not ncgotia-
bic IL was long after nine o'clock before word
reached the village that a strange craft had
anchored in the sound during tho night and
weighed anchor during the early hours Of
the morning. The strange action of this vessel and
her crew led the authorities TO believe that pirates
had come up from some OF the Long Island towns
and preyed them. Soon after this conclusion
was arrived at, word sent to the steamtug
Kate Miller to start after the vessel The strange
appearing craft noticed coming down the Sound
at several points telegraphed to, but she was not
overhauied. II learned during the afternoon
that a valuable copper rowboat belonging to Oliver
Blakely also stolen.
II il believed that the strange schooner was
manned 10y pirates that sailed from some of the
Long Island towns. IL will be remembered that
pirates visited City Island from Long Island few
weeks ago, and that they were overhauled in the
East River by policeman Of the Fifty-ninth street
police station.
