A Strong

Every prudent business mar must
acknowledge the Importance of Secur-
ing his estate and family against the
contingency of his premature death
Experience has shown that the best
method Of covering such a contingency
is through a life insurance company
which has financial strength, and
guarantees in its contracts to pay losses
in full, and without a lawsuit or delay.
In another column may be found the
announcement Of the Equitable life
assurance society, stating its pre-
eminent advantages in the fact that its
assets exceed forty-one million dollars
with a surplus of nine millions; hat its
Tontine policies are the most profit
able form of insurance to the policy
holder, and that its policies are
indisputable after having been three
years in force, and payable without
interest rebate, as soon as satisfactory
proofs of death and the legal release
are received at its Office in New York.

spoken when White raised up and
shot him il the face, the bullet driv-
ing in between the right eye and the
mouth, and passing out at the back of
his head.
Sheriff Beattie ran out at the door,
said, He has shot me- fell, and died
in two minutes. White rushed out
behind the sheriff aud shot Maddox
through the leg and thigh. Then,
while Beattie was in bis dying strug-
giles, he deliberately went through his
pockets, took his money, his weapons,
ammunition, and such other articles
as were on his person that he thought
might be useful. 1t was a cool pro-
ceeding, even for so diabolical a vii
lain as Hays White, as Maddox, Grip.
pied and unable to move, looked on
and saw it all, without being able to
resent the indignity. White quietly
strolled away, and has not since been
heard of.
The news of the unparalleled atrocity
spread rapidly and soon a posse of men
were securing the roads, the woods
and the swamps in seach ofthe escaped
murderer. The overAowed state of the
country leaves. but few avenues for him
to get away from tho neighborhood,
and it is believed that he cannot pos
sibly hide from the search of full 500
men who we're after him this forenoon
A dugout or skitf could not carry him
through the overfowed woods and
canebrakes very far, and if he takes
the roads he will be discovered.
Last evening a brother oPthe muir
derer arrived in the city, and he was
shadowed by officers. This morning
news from Crittenden reported Hays
White yet at large.
A coffin and burial costume was sent
over by the ferryboat OYerton yester-
day afternoon, and the dead sherif's
remains will be forwarded by express
to the home of his parents, near Glade
Springs, not far from Abingdon. Va.
Beattie was a very popular young man,
of perhaps thirty. three, unmarried,
and a graduate of Emory and Henry
College, Va. Sheriff Beattie was
serving his second official term when
murdered, and he has stood very high
in the esteem Of all people as a man Of
courage, high sense of honor and fair
ness, as we'll as strictly honest--in-
deed, is claimed to be the best sheriff
Crittenden ave- had. His bondsmen
nearly all live in this city, are promin-
ent merchants, and they regarded
Beattie as a faithful, efficient official
Of the purest integrity. A few winters
ago a sister of Mr.. Beattie passed sew
eral months here, and she won much
attention by her refinement, high cul.
ture and amiable manners.
A reward Of several hundred dollars
has been guaranteed by prominent
citizens of Crittenden for the recap
ture Of Hays White, and it is expected
Churchill will offer farther
reward. White is reported to possess
round, smooth face, yellow complex,
is quick spoken, knock kneed,
about five feet ten inches in
height, and has a seal on his face.
The excited state of the public mind
over in CrittendeH renders his cast a
critical one in the opinion of
various people.

LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE.

The San Francisco Examiner says no
good can come of continuing the abortive
ballots that are daily being cast for
United States Senators at Albany. There
was something very inconsistent from
the first in Conkling's appealing to the
Legislature for Endorsement, seeing that
it had already warmly approved of Rob-
e%rtson's appointment. If Mr.. Conkling
desires to test the justice of his quarrel
with the President he ought to be will
ing to submit it to the people for their
verdict. If, on the other hand, the
President is as confident as he pretends
to be Of being sustained by his own party
he should invite an answer from the bal.
lot-box. This is the only fair mode of
settling the dispute beyond the reach of
cavil. New York State will not suffer
in the meantime by want of representa-
ton. Congress will not meet until
December, whilst the New York State
election takes place in November. Why
should not both sides join with the Dem
ocrats in voting for IN adjournment sine
die? The business of the session is at an
end, and it is now apparent that SEN
ators cannot be elected. By all means
let the people decide.

MING STATISTICS OF COUN-

The Mint Bureau Of the Treasury De-
partment has authorized the Superin-
tendent of the Mint in San Francisco to
collect statistics of the production of the
precious metals in the States and Terri
tories Of this coast. In accordance with
this authority, circulars asking for in
formation will be sent to every incorpor-
ated and private mine; to Wells, Fargo
& Co.'S agents, and to prominent mer-
chants in mining localities for estimates
of the production of the Chinese small
producers by a~rastas, the pan, etc, by
which means it is hoped to receive re-
turns of the entire production.
Circulars are sent from the Mint every
six months-January | and July for
the reason that the production of the
Government fiscal year, which ends June
30, is six months each of two years.
The productions will be classified as to
the manner or mode of production
whether argentiferous, lead ore, vein
quartz, drift, placer, or hydraulic, etc.
But what will be of most advantage to
every county will be the publication for
each fiscal year of the production of the
precious metals for each county-only,
however, in the aggregate of the totals.
Individual returns will not be published,
and are seen by no one but the Snperin-
tendent and his assistant, the Statistician
in charge, by whom any communication
relative to the production of a mine will
be safely guarded.
This publication Of the yield by coun-
ties will be of benefit in attracting the
attention of men of means who are each
week arriving in San Francisco from all
parts of the world, and who are often
imbued with the desire to invest in min
ing property-of which we have so much
awaiting the advent of capitai-and who
will naturally look for statistics of the
production of gold and silver and will in
many instances go to those localities
known to be productive. They can by
this means often be induced to invest,
and will thus help develop the main in
dustry which has been the means Of
making us noted in the world.
1t is therefore hoped that every mining
company, large or small, and every per-
son receiving a circular of inquiry from
the Mint, will promptly and freely make
returns of productions, and impart such
information as will give each county full
credit for all it is entitled to, and by this
means assist in aiding the mining indus
try of our country.

SOMETHING WRONG.

The people who profess to believe that
the end of the world is at hand can de-
duoe some plausible arguments IN sup
port of their speculation from the abnor.
NAL and violent procedure of the physi-
cal FORCES. 1t is only a few months since
the nations were appalled, by the awful
catastrophe at Scio, where a score of
earthquakes, each more destructive than
the last. swept away thousands Of human
lives. And now dispatches from Ar
menia % another destruction of
the same nature, to which a hundred or
more unfortunates have fallen victims.
These things, taken in connection with
the extraordinary meteorological eccen-
t~ricities which are making this Summer
memorable, certainly indicate that some
thing has gone wrong with the process Of
nature.
