New Yerk's New Insurance Law.

NOW xOFkb Now AmSurAmCe LAW.
Under the Insurance bill signed by
Governor Robinson, of New York, last
week, companies may be organized to
make any Of the following kinds of in
surance: "First, upon the health Of per-
sons; second, against injury, disable
ment or death of persons resulting from
travelling or general accidents by land
or water third, guarantying the fidelity
of persons holding places of public or
private trust; fourth, upon the lives of
hors cattle and other live stock; fifth,
upon plate-grass against breakage; sixth,
upon boilers against explosion and
against loss or damage to life or proper
ty resulting therefrom; seventh, against
loss by burglary or theft, or both," but
no company can undertake more than
one of the branches of business mention
ed, not three of them, as was first re-
ported. That insurance which guaran-
tees the fidelity Of persons holding places
of trust is new to this country, but we
hope to see it become common.

BURYING A BABY ALIVE.
The Crime with which A New Ter.
sey LabOr0r II ChoRgea.


Michael Sullivan, q farm hand, Of
Springfield, N. j., was committed TO jail
in Elizabeth by justice Currie on Friday,
charged with having killed child 81
burying it alive. Sullivan, who Is below
the average in, intelligence, was lin thu
employ OF Henry Richards, and lived on
that gentleman's grounds, with his daugh-
ter Nellie, a girl of 10, who was. his
housekeeper. The girl gave birth to .
boy early yesterday morning in the abb
sence of her father, who had gone after
DR.. Job. On his return, Sullivan t0ok
the babe to the corn field and buried it
face downward. DR.. dob arrived half an
hour later, and AFTER attending 10 the
| mother asked to see the child. Sullivan
said it was dead and he had buried It..
The doctor insisted upon seeing Its body.
and Sullivan took him to the Held and
pointed to the spot. The doctors suspi-
cions were aroused, and he ordered the
man somewhat sharply to Immediately
remove the earth, which bore every evi-
dence OF having been packed Into the
hole with considerable care. As the man
uncovered the child the doctor detected
faint gasp. He carried it to the house,
applied warm water and restoratives, and
succeeded in inducing faint respiration.
The child died within half an hour, how
ever. County physician Tirrell investi-
gated the case yesterday afternoon, and
learned from an examination OF the In
fant's body that it was in perfect health
at the time of birth. He direcsed ius-
tice Currie to hold an inquest rs soon as
the girl is able to leave her bed. The
justice meantime had caused Sullivan's
arrest and Incarceration. The girl at.
tempted to shield her father by saying
she must have killed the babe by, step-
ping upon it before his return from tie
doctors house. She also made state

Massacre Of Political Prisoners.
ST. PETERsBCRG, April H. The kiefi' cor.
respondent OF the st. Petersburg Journal
gives the following account Of the outbreak
among the political prisoners last month,
which was briefly noticed By telegraph at the
time:
The persons under arrest in the Kief
prison resolved some time AGO to tunnel un
der the walls and escape. The scheme was
betrayed by one OF the canspirators, but the
authorities allowed the prisoners to con.
tinue the excavation. When the tunnel was
completed and the prisoners had entered il
one after the other, intending to come W
through the opening beyond the prison, the
precinct soldiers, previously posted at tho
opening, shot them as they came out. Wher
the bulk OF the prisoners, terrified by The
noise Of the firing, stopped and renamed
in the tunnel, soldiers were sent in from he
hid, and the unfortunate "rctches, caugh
between two tires, were shot down. Th'
proceedings seemed TO give The official
much amusement, and the director OF tn
Kictf prison has been praised and decorated
for having acted with such clcrcrness AM
dccision.'

YELLow-FEvER ON BOARD THE PLYMOUTH, &c.
WASHINGTON. April IA communica
ton from the Secretary OF the Navy was
laid before the House this afternoon giving
information In reply to the House resolu-
ton regarding the breaking out OF yellow
fever on board the United States ship Ply
mouth. The Secretary says the opinion
generally prevails amongst experienced ma
val men that the freezing process Is 4 sufli-
cient protection against the temperance Of
yellow-fever after it has once appeared on
board Of j vessel. There are instances
where it has resulted otherwise, although
they have not been sufficiently numerous
to entirely destroy the opinion. Why the
Plymout,I was not sufficiently frozen and
fumigated has been referred to the Medical
Board TO report thereon. 1t is remark
able fact that the disease broke out
at the precise point in the ship where it ap-
pearcd in November last, which may he sup
posed TO weaken somewhat the theory that
the freezing process is 4 reliable remedy. A
single example cannot, however, be sufli-
cient to entirely overthrow the presumption
in its favor. The Depar! ment will continue
to resort to It in all cases, but will at the
same time add TO it all other known sanitary
remedies rs we'll as such as additional Iny6s-
LEGATIONS may discover. In the meanwhile,
whatever experiments either experience OIL
science may sagge.t should he tried, Ill
order that nothing shall be Omitted to arrest
the progress and rayages OF this terrible
Scourge.
