THE National Tribune, published at
Washington, says it has been decided
that, under the operation of the arrears
of pension law, limitations which, under
the old pension laws, ran against widows
who remarked without having applied
for pension within five years from the
death of the soldier, and children and
brothers and sisters of a deceased soldier
who were under sixteen years of age at
the time of the latter's death, but who
neglected to file an application for pen
pension before they attained the age Of
twenty-One years, have been swept away,
so that now the widow of soldier who
died i'm the service, or, after discharge, Of
disability which originated while in
the service and in the line of duty, is en-
titled to a pension from the date of the
soldiers death up to the date other mar
riage, provided she has not received the
same. Also, children who have been or
who would have been debarred pension
under the old pension laws by reason of
the youngest having attained the age of
twenty-one years without having made
an application, may now apply; also
brothers and sisters who were under six
teen years Of age at the date of the sol
dier's death and dependent upon him for
support, (the soldier having left neither
widow nor minor child nor children.
and the mother and father having died
before the brothers and sisters attained
the age of sixteen years,) now have a
valid claim. The classes mentioned prob
ably number many thousands.

MILWAUKEE, October 2S.-The schooner

Niagara and sunk in the Detroit river to.
day, was one of the finest vessels of the
lake. She had sc, 600 bushels of barley on
board, shipped by Borehert 4 Sons and c.
J. Kershaw & Co., Of this city.
The steamship Amazon, which ioun.
dered off Grand Haven this morning, was
one Of the largest and staunchest passen-
ger vessels on the lakes. She is valued at
about $4,000, and rated ut l,406 tons,
carried four masts, had double decks and
is a double screw propeller. Her cargo
consisted Of 1885 barrels of -four, 2G3 bar.

OF pork, 90 boxes OF cheese, 60 kegs OF

PoET HURON, October 2S.-The schooner
Niagara, which sunk the schooner Porter
at the mouth OF the Detroit river, arrived
up at Z P. NJ. The statements of the col.
lision are freely made by the crew Of the
Niagara, who claim TO have done all in
their power to avoid collision at the time
they were coming up abreast Of Belle Isle
and they met the Wilcox with two
schooners and the foresail, mainsail and
iib set, the wind abeam. blowing fresh
wheel hard sLarboard, and when
they were going into the Wilcox's
tow, the second mate who had
charge OF the deck ordered the
main sheet eased off, which was
done and the Niagara was obeying her
helm when she struck the Porter, and
after striking her she turned the Porter
around, and the Kelderhouse ran into the
Porter forward the mizzeu rigging. The
Kelderhouse loses her head gear. The
Niagara had her bow spirit, head gear and
stern damaged to the amount OF $500. The
repairs will be made here and she will
leave tomorrow. Later reports says the
Porter's after cabin is eight feet un-
der water and her bow out OF water
aground on the island bank. The crew OF
the: tug Mersick say they were three or
four hundred feet abreast OF Wilcox,
when the Niagara sheered aud struck the
Porter. They blew short blasts OF the
whistle as a warning when they saw the
Niagara sheerlng and sung out 10 her to
keep her away. Captain Hoover has en-

Ar the time Of bis death the late Johr
R. Hubbard held policies Of life insurance
IN the Mutual Life Of New York and The
American Of Philadelphia. In the former
he had policy Of 5000 and in the latter
one Of $sIOOO The question arose alter
his death whether under the circumstances
this insurance would be paid, as in both
policies there was a clause providing that
In case the assured died by his own hand,
sane or insane" the insurance should be
be void. The rulings Of the courts have
been favorable to policy holders un-
der the old wording Of policies; that
Is, where the provision was simply
against suicide in general, and with.
out reference to the question Of
sanity. It seems to be understood, how.
ever, that where an assured person takes
out a policy containing an express and
specific stipulation against suicide under
any circumstances whatever, that the
courts would hold that such stipulation
Is OF the essence otthe contract, and would
sustain it. 1tcan hardly be said, however,
that the policyof the law is fixed on this
subject, as the question arises whether
such provision is not contrary to public
policy, inasmuch as insanity is as much of
disease as delirium in fever, and who
would say that man who should arise
from his sick bed in fever. and jump
from window and destroy himself, had
therebyiviolated hls policy Of insurance?
At all events, be the likelihoods Of the
law as it may under such circumstances,
the Mutual Life Of New York has shown
that 1t does not intend to raise tho issue
in Mr.. Hubbards case, and has informed
the agency in this city that his policy will
be paid in full, the same as if he had died
in the ordinary course Of nature. This is
adecision that will tend very decidedly to
increase the high standing and popularity
of the Mutual Life Company in this re.
gion. Everybody will recognize that
while it is only justice to pay such a
claim, yet it is nevertheless very liberal on
the part of the company not to attempt to
avail itself of the provision OF the policy.
It seems to be the policy OF the Mutual
Life Company to regard this provision
more as q shield against possible
fraud than as an exemption tom the
payment Of just claim. In common with
all life insurance companies, they hold
that there are two classes OF fsuicides, those
prepetrated on deliberate calculation,
where the parties, having resolved to die,
seek to provide for their families alter
death, and those who die unpremediatedly
while under spell OF alteration of mind
for which they are in no wise responsible.
To this latter class the Mutual Life assigns
Mr.. Hubbard's death, after the proper in
vestigation, and therefore, in accordance
with their policy under such circum-
stances, they will pay the full amount of
his insurances to his family. In SO de-
Gliding the company has done an act at
once just, graceful and liberal, and one
that will be well received in this COM
munitV.
