THE ROWLAND INSURANCE BILL.

The most important insurance enact
ment Of the Ohio Legislature was the bill
passed in the House Wednesday last
week, and originally presented in the
Senate by Mr.. Rowland. 1t came from
the Senate and was passed in the follow
ing form: ~
"SECrIoN l. Be it enacted by the Gen.
eral Assembly of the State Of Ohio, that
any party company or association here.
after insuring any building or structure
against loss or damage by fire or light.
ming, by renewal of policy heretofore
issued or otherwise, shall cause said
building or structure to be examined by
an agent of the insurers, and full descrip.
tiOn thereof to be made, and the insur.
able vslue thereof to be made by such
agent. Ia the absence Of intentional
fraud on the part of the insured In case
of total loss, the whole account mention
ed in the policy or renewal upon which
the insurers receive premium shall be
paid, in case of partial loss. the pro rata
amount shall be paid.
"SEc. 2. That any person soliciting in
shrsnce shall be held to b. the agent of
the party hereafter issuing policy or
renewal upon the application procured
by him.
SEC 3. This sct shall take effect and
be in force from and after its passage"
There is no doubt the public generally
endorses this bill in its purposes. Wheth-
er its workings will be satisfactory re-
mains to be seen by experience.

it to the street to deposit it in the sewer.
The possibility of detection had been dis
cussed, and my companion provided a
torpedo to explode in case Of a surprise,
so that, under cover of the smoke, noise
and confusion, we might escape, The
body was lowered out of the window to
the garden, and bore thence to where it
was found"
This was the confession and statement
made by Madame Vourrier. She has
just been tried for the crime of murder
and acquitted.
