THE express companies in their exorbi,,

to be governed by the tact, that in all
other branches of business. both private

When the mills blew up at Minnea-
polls, Mimi. there was question as to
whether or not the insurance companies
should pay the damage. They claimed
that the mills We're destroyed by the ex-
plosion, and as the insurance was against
fire they refused to pay. The owners of
the mills held that fire was the cause of
the explosion. Ex-Governor Washburn
proved that fire had been seen before
the explosion. The trial lasted week,
but the jury only took ten minutes to
bring in verdict against the companies
for the full amount, with interest.

Newspaper Comments on The Peculiar
Verdict In the Chicago Custom House
( Investigation. s
CHICAGO, juno THE Times, after review
ing the custom house cases as presented to the
federal jury, and the other well known facts
regarding the great frauds which were COM
mitted during the construction of the building,
says editorially The verdict ia that nobody
was responsible, that nobody was guilty, that
no crime was committed. But the facts
remain Of which the unsightly building itself
is monument, and which were incontestibly
proved, and that by the payment for the stone
in excess of the terms of the contract, by pay
ment of labor and by the various incidental
payments, the government was defrauded on
the stone contracts to the amount of about
$500, 900. The only rational conclusion seems
to be that it is no crime to swindle the govern
ment. The moral of it seems to be an invita-
ton to big swindling of thegovernmentb because
nobody lcan5 be guilty when swindling of
the government is perpetrated. I 5G
The Tribune says the fact remains that the
custom house, as it stands, has cost a million
Of dollars more than it ought to have cost. No
jury of competent and impartial architects,
with sufficient time and opportunity to go
over the Building thoroughly, make their esti-
mate and ascertain what the contracts could
be concluded at, could fail to report
that at least that sum had
been squandered in excess Of the legitimate
cost Of the building. There seems to be moth
ing for the taxpayers to do in these cases but
grin and bear the outrageous frauds. practiced
upon them without the hope or consolation that
the guilty parties will be punished. i It
is certain that the case has been sing
ularly numbered up. that. the jury, like any
outsider who endeavoied to follow must have
been hopelessly befoaRed, and that it had q
most lame and impotentr conclusion, which
will not rebound to the credit of either the
regular prosecuting or the special counsel em-
ployed BY the government. leae.

New York. The orchestra will number 100
pieces.
In compliance with the change in tho con-
stitution Of the band made in 1874, the chorus
will include female voices. The musical
promise of the festival has there by been greatly
widened, and the programmes selected include
works of such magnitude as Mendelessohn's
st. Paul, Verdis requiem mass, part eff Ruben
STEMS Paradise Lost, aud scenes from Gade's
Crusaders, and Goldmark's Queen of Sheba
Besides these there will be selections for the
male chorus and a number of minor works by

cost of the affair will not be much short of
$50, 900, to secure which citizens have sub
scribed $50 900 to guarantee fund.

RETURNING RETURNING FROM como.

The Desire to Hurry Raised by the Storm
Results in Several Accidents, Two Quite
Serious.
The festivities at Lake Como received q
material drawback last evening owing to the
unexpected advent of the storm, and the in
tense desire manifested by the visitors to
reach the city, resulted in several accidents,
one or two of which are quite serious.
Among those who started in the direction of
home were the two daughters of Mr.. Charles
Haggermiller, whose vehicle was overturned
shortly after leaving the lake, both ladies'
receiving number of painful but not very
serious bruises.
The ladies were taken to the Como hotel,
where they were cared for by Col. Knauff.
Immediately after the above had taken
place, similar accident transpired in the
same vicinity by which young son of Mr..
Mckinney sustained quite serious injuries.
The little fellow was taken to the hotel by
Sergeant Walsh and Officer De Corsey, when
it was ascertained that he had been seriously
injured by a confusion of the head.
Several minor accidents occurred, and q
knock down fight took place in the saloon
ran by Sheephead John, this side Of the
lake; and altogether the day terminated quite
disastrously.

Horrible Story from. Meaico.
ILogansport Journal.I

Last week, in Chihuahua, woman went
into shoemaker's shop in front of his
dwelling and was measured for pair of
shoes. The son Of Crispin said to the wo-
man: you have o pretty FOOT "Do you
think sop said She He replied, eyes; that
is the prettiest foot in Mexico" The
woman was to come back the next day and
leave one dollar, when the shoes were to be
commenced. The shoemaker's wife, hear
ing all, said nothing. The next day the
shoemaker was out when the woman with
the pretty foot called, according to agree
ment. and the wife got her into the back
room and stabbed her to death. The wife
then cut q steak out of the dead woman's
leg and packed the body under the bed.
The shoemaker came home and ate his din
ner. The wife asked him how he liked the
meat. He answered that sit was the best he
had ever eaten" The wife then told him he
had eaten a part of ''the prettiest leg in
Mexico He asked her what she meant.
She showed him the, body under the bed,
and made dash at him with knife, but be
escaped and ran to the Palaoio and told the
judge what had happened. The Judge sum-
moned guard of soldiers and went to the
house. He asked the wife if she had COM
mitted the murder, and when she answered
yes and attempted to justify the act he or
dered her to be shot on the spot by the
soldiers, and his orders were promptly
obeyed.
