Charles Jobes, of Jersey City, became
jealous of his wife, and quarreled with her
on Sunday. When he returned to supper
he found note from her on the bureau. In
it she said she had done her best to make
his home happy one, but he would not let
her, and that therefore she had left him
forever. She spoke of the groundlessness
of his jealous feeling, and concluded by say
ing that it would be useless for him to search
for her, since before he read the letter she
would be at the bottom of the Hudson.
Jobes made inquiries, and found that his
wife had paid several bills for small amounts
which she owed at neighboring stores, and
that she had given away several dresses
saying that she would never have any use
for them again. Jobes is convinced that
his wife has commi tied suicide.

While the New York Legislature is try

While the New York Legislature is try
ing to abolish it's insurance department., the
New Jersey Assembly is considering the ad-
visibility of creating one. If New York
with its 1S0 fire companies and score or
more of life companies, can manage with
out, it would be quite as we'll for New Jer-
sey to try and worry along a few years
more. There is no efficiency in any insur-
ance department that is not taken out of
politics, so that the incumbent is sure of his
tenure of Office. 1t is impossible for him to
get sufficient acquaintance with the busi-
ness to be of any use whatever until he is
turned out and the new man has it all to
learn over again. There are one or two
States whose insurance departments COM
mand respect because they have succeeded
in shutting out wildcats and bankrupts be-
fore they have robbed the people, but such
efficiency is attainable only in State where
every change of government does not mean
a new insurance commissioner.

Henry C. Marsh, a well known

Henry G. Marsh, we'll known resident
of Railway, N. j., was accidentally killed
on the Pennsylvania Railroad about mile
south of his home, at one o'clock Saturday
morning. Mr. Marsh had been to New
York during the day, and had taken the
midnight train for home. At Linden he
was joined by several of his children and a
number of friends, who had been attending
party at that place, and after asking them
how they had enjoyed themselves he went
TO sleep. When the train reached Railway,
each supposing he had been awakened, the
party stepped upon the platform without
noticing he was not with them, until the
train had started. Concluding that he
would go on to New Brunswick and stop at
the hotel till morning, bis family went home.
At 2 o'clock his body was found between
the rails terribly mangled. Both legs were
broken and portion Of his scalp was torn
off. BE had evidently been dead for some
time. 1t is supposed that Mr.. Marsh awoke
just after the train started, and, finding he
was beyond his destination, rushed to the
platform and leaped from the train, which
was then going at high rate of speed.
