IosI Ia os' umosuHANCE Policies.

An exchange calls attention TO re
cent decision in New York court upon
one feature OF the insurance question
that is worthy OF consideration at this
particular season OF the year.
Here, as we'll as elsewhere, a great
many city residences are vacated and
locked up during the summer, while the
owners with their families are sojourn-
ing at the seashore or in the country. In
surance companies consider that the risk
OF fire is increased when a dwelling has
no occupants. Their view Of the matter
is that q house is then more accessible
to tramps and incendiaries; that the
crime OF burning the house to defraud
the company is more easily perpetrated;
and that an accidental fire catching
from a eonhagration in the vicinity
stands less chance OF being detected
and extinguished. For these and other
reasons policies usually contain a condi-
ton so worded that if house becomes
unoccupied the insurance becomes void,
or at least is suspended, during the time
when it Is vacant. The insurance poll
cies contain such provision which it is
difficult to detect because Of so much
finely printed matter in the face OF the
policy. In New York a gentleman
who did not know of this condition
lost the insurance money he expected
because OF the burning of his house.
The case was carried te the courts, and
the claim OF the company was sustained,
the court deciding that visiting the
house frequently, or arranging with a
ueighOor to watch it from mis- dwelling
near by, was not occupying it. This
shows the necessity OF persons reading
their politics in order to avoid loss by
some accidental or premeditated fire.
In the case cited if the gentleman had
allowed some one to occupy his house
during his absence he would have saved
his insurance money, if not his resi-.
dence.

ter the honse, by forcing the win

October. The woman OF the house,
who was absent at the time, re-
ceived the alarm from neighbor,
ran home and found Soto and
LeivA in the house, and several ar
ticles of her wearing apparel piled
up, apparently ready for removal.
The defense was that Soto was

sible for crime Of that character,

The Alvin Joslin troupe, which
opens tomorrow night at Turn
verein Hall, have really captured
the continent. Speaking Of this
combination the Reading Times
says: Uncle Alvin Joslin drew a
crowded house last evening
and made good the guarantee Of
one hundred and eighty laughs In
one hundred eighty minutes.
Chas. l.. Davis has acquired q
celebrity as an told MANI charac-
ter actor, and Though suffering
with an annoying cold) his imper-
sonation of "Uncle Alvin" New
England farmer, was a thorough
and artistic performance. "Uncle
Alvin" comes to New York to see
the sights, and Is saved from con-
fidence men and sharpers by his
own native wit and shrewdness.
Mr.. Davis is a clever Yankee dia-
lectician and makes ingenious use
OF prOviDcialisms and rustic YER
dancy to develop his character.
The entire performance was liter
ally crowned with applause. Mrs.
Joslin, the lawyer, the Bowery
boy, were all in good hands. The
play is immensely funny, and is
the best possible re medy for all
sorts Of blues.

ALL WE ASKED FOR.
A Categorical Reply to Our Peoples Demands
by the Southern Pacific Railroad Company.
A Generous Programme.

We have already published in
the HERALD the report to the
Chamber of Commerce of the
Messrs. J. de Barth Shorb and j..
M. Griffith of their several inter-
views with Mr.. A. N. Towne, Gen.
eral Superintendent of the Central
and Southern Pacific Railways.
They gave their report OF that
gentleman's position verbally,
but they have since received from
Mr.. Towne the following letter,
which categorically answers in the
affirmative every question which
any Angeleflo might ask. We may
remark, en- PEASANT, that last year
the railway charges on Los Ange-
les grapes and oranges to Chi
cago. was $3.50 carload.
This year. owing to the lib
eral discount to Los Angeles
fruit growers, II will be only $3.50
per carload Of ten tons-a redue-
ton OF almost one.half.
Below we give Mr.. Towne's LETT
ter:

Messrs. j. de Borth .Shor6 and j.

Der of Commerce, Los angeles,
CAL;
MISUNDERSTANDING to the
Interviews had lately between you
and myself, 1 understand your re-
quest to be, in substance, as fol-
lows: That there be made by the
RAILROAD panies reduction in
present rates on orsngss by the
carload from Los Angeles to San
Francisco; alec, from Los Angeles
to some of the principal Eastern
markets.
You represented to me that a re-
duction to ten ($10) dollars per ton
to San Francisco, and to $500 per
carload of ten (10) tons
to Chicago, and like
reduction to other Eastern cities,
would double the quantity shipped
from Los Angeles during the COM
ing season aud stimulate the cul>
ture OF oranges to such an extent
as to double the production Ia the
southern part of the State IN avery
few years.
In consideration Of your repre-
sensations, and desire to encour-
age the culture of oranges, aud to
enable growers in this State to sue
cessfuIly compete In the Chicago
and Mississippi river markets with
the productions of Florida, Louisi-
ana and Sicily, 1t has been decided
to meet your expressed wishes.
1 have, therefore, great pleasure
In informing you that, commenc.
ing with the lot of January, the
rate Oh oranges from Los Angeles
to San Frapciaco, in carload lots,
will be ten ($l0) per ton; from Loi
Angeles to Kansas City, $500 pei
carlsbad of ten 10y tons; to Saint
Louis, 1886; and to Chicago $3.50.
| We also hope to be able before
the season is over to open up other
marketsSin Texas, Arkansas ant
Missouri by Offering equally favor
ahla rates.
| We will also endeavor to giv'
the fruits especial attention ss t.
time, and will try to avoid trans
fsrripg ut terminal points 10 which
ordinary freight ia more or les
subjected. Very respectfully,
A. N. TowNE,

Railroad Enterprise.

In reference to the recent sale and
early completion of the Shreveport,
Vicksburg s. Pacific Railroad, the
New Orleans Democrat states:
The Railroad, which runs from
Vicksburg to Monroe, Oh the Qua
chlta River, and which is the most
important link in the great latitu.
dlnal line from the Atlantic to the
Texas system, has recently been
sold to an Alabama Railroad com
pany. The purchaser is a powerful
corporation and the presumption is
that the transfer is a forerunner of
active operations looking to the ex-
tension of this line. Only about
100 miles remain to be built i'm order
to connect Monroe with Shreveport
and thus to open to the Vicksburg,
Shreveport and Pacific Railroad the
vast trade of Texas. 1t is fair to
assume that the Alabama company
would not have bought the road
unless they intended to extend it,
and thus we may look to see the
work begun at an early day.
This road, in its completed form,
will be very great benefit to North
Louisiana and Southern Arkansas.
1t will connect the parishes of
Union. Morehouse, Claiborne, Web
ster, jackson, Lincoln, BienvilIe,
Bossier and Caddo with New Or
leans by rail, together with the
whole southern tier of Arkansas
counties. Branch roads would soon
be constructed, tapping the Arkan-
sas system, and thus the Vicksburg,
Shreveport and Pacific Road would
soon become the most popular feed.
er to New Orleans and the Missis-
sippi River. Every consideration
of interest and expectancy will con-
spire to urge the new owners of the
Vicksburg, Shreveport and Pacific
Road to ccnsummate it's original
scheme and complete it's proposed
connections.
