THE OLD WORLD.
Ireland.

A Newspaper Mans Views ofPrison Life.
 NEW YoRK, Oct. 23.-The Herald corre- spondent, in his letter on Irish affairs speaks of the imprisonment of the Land League chiefs as follows: Within 8 week the gov ernment will separate the Leaguers now in Kilmainham.. Those now there really form very pleasant club. The prisoners in Kill mainhan are not harshly treated. They have comfortable, clean rooms, with easy chairs, books and the Dublin newspapers. They can smoke and have each day six hours of mutual intercourse. They can have food sent in. Their imprisonment would be a farce if they could meet and through so- icitor or doctor, communicate directions to those without or explain their political views to every visitor for publication. When the government found that con- ing in the issue of the manifesto with the prisoners signatures, it was necessary to adopt several rules The government are now contemplating the distribution of the prisoners forming the executive of the Land League among other Irish jails. Considera- ble delay in the transmission of telegrams from Dublin this week was caused by the supervision exercised by the officials, who are carefully examining every despatch for the information and use of the government. The police are ridiculed for the escape of Mr.
 Arthur O'Connor, but the fact is that the de- tectives knew his every movement, and were instructed not to try very hard to catch him. because certain official said, "He sold his government once and may sell his friends next time'' This refers to Mir. O'Connor's record when clerk in the Navy department.

The Parallel Road.

Directors of the reorganized Parallel Rail road company were elected as follows at the meeting held in Norwalk on Thursday P. T. Barnum, Bridgeport; s. E. Olmstead, Nor walk; C. B. Sidell, N. Y.; w. T. Minor, Stamford; George R. Cowles, Norwalk; H. R. Parrott, Bridgeport; E. K. Lockwood, Norwalk; H. H. Hepburn, N. Y.; Wm. W. Douglass Providence; A. Winton, Bridge port; Sheldon Collins, N. r.; Charles D. Ingersoll, N. r.; H. Walter Webb, N. Y. Subscriptions amounting to $2zO,OO0 were made. The directors will meet in New York next Wednesday to complete the organization by the election of a president and other off, cers. The maps filed are from the late sur veys. The line passes through Fairfield fur ther south than the previous line, and is more direct than any of the routes previous ly laid out.
 Oae of the parties prominently connected with the survey now being made by Wander bilt for 8 new railroad between Bronxville, on the Harlem road and New Haven, has been interviewed. He states that two surveying parties started out, one working from the low CT end of the line and the other from South Norwalk. The survey will probably be com pleted by January l. This road will run to the north of most of the towns on the line of the New York and New Haven railroad. The object of the road is not so much to run near these towns as to make short route from Rronxyill to New Haven. Streams where @ drawbridge would be needed are to be avoid ed as far as possible, the survey making 1t an especial object to cross where it is not navi- gable. This road will open region of coun- try now some distance from railroads. The line so far is very straight, with easy curves and grades.

m Interesting Insurance Case.

An Interesting Insurance Case.
 OTTAWA, Ont, Oct. 23.-An interesting in- surance case in which the Connecticut Mu- tual Insurance company figures as defendant will shortly occupy the attention of the Do- minion government. It appears that some time ago the heirs of Toronto gentleman named Moore commenced proceedings against the Connecticut Mutual Insurance company to recover the amount of policy of $25, 1000 on the life of the deceased. The company resisted payment upon the ground that the deceased had deceived them by misrepresent- ing his true physical condition when he made application for insurance. It seems Moore had received an injury to his skull many years ago, which necessitated trepanniug A short time before his death he accidentally struck his head against something 1n such 8 manner as to knock in the silver plate, which, coming in contact with the brain, caused death. This the company considered suf- fcient ground upon which to resist payment of the claim. The company fought the claim ant through all the courts until the case came before the Privy Council in England where it was finally decided against the compa- ny. Time for satisfaction of the judge ment hav1ng elapsed without settlement the plaintiff, by Kate Douglas Moore, daugh-, ter of the deceased insured, has notified the Minister of Finance that application will be made to the Court of Chancery to have the company declared insolvent and $lOO, 900 assets of the company in the hands of the gov ernment distributed among the policy hold CTS. The amount of the policies which ex- isted in Canada on December 31 last was $3, 000, 800, for which the government only held $1OO, 1000. The reason for the smallness of the deposit is that the company has trans acted no new business in the Dominion since 1878, and previous to that time the law, which has since been amended, only required deposit of that amount. The Insurance act of 1877 makes provision for such cases as this Under it's provisions the Court of Chancery. may declare any company insolvent and order the amount deposited with the gov ernment to be applied pro aata toward the discharge of all claims of policy holders in Canada duly authenticated against the com pany, for the purpose of making which dis tribution an assignee must be appointed by the court. It is necessary, however, for the applicant to give the company sixty days no tice of his intention to apply to the Court of Chancery. This notice has been given and has yet about thirty days to run.

A SaIter Salted.

LEADvnLE, Oct. 23.-Henry Pope was discovered in gigantic swindle yesterday and is now under arrest, his bail, $1O, GOO, not be- ing given. He was in the act of ''salting'' ninety-seven tons of ore from nine ounces to 257 ounces, which he was selling to the St. Louis Smelling and Refining company. G. H. Laker, the manager, caught Pope in the act. The company would have lost $225, 900 had it gone through, but some fine detective work on the part of employees prevented it. It has been discovered that Pope swindled Cummings & Finn, smelters, out of $18O,000 last September. Pope has been making boasts that he would leave town in few days with $50, ,o00. He has ''salted'' low grade ores with fine chlorides after they had been pre- pared for assay, going to the smelter for that purnoSa.
