FALSE PNETENCE.
n Giraveyar0 I0sufnnc0 Company Suojl fol
Fraud

Alfred SlOnaker las made complaint Of
false pretense against tho Fidelity Benefi-
cial society Of ElizabethtOwn. SlOnaker
it appears, took out a 81 900 policy on the
life OF I'll old woman named Mary Fitzger-
erald. Tho company being run on the
g mutual'' plan, each member was assess
ed a certain sum when any Of the insured
died. In this way SlOnaker paid over to
the company from time to time sums ag-
gregating about so. During February,
1881, he received from the secretary,
Mr.. lIackenberger, notice that
another assessment Of S. was want
cd, and that that sum would
be sufficient to pay all losses sustained by
tho company in tho class in which he
held an insurance. SlODaker became q
little suspicious that tho company's way
of doing business wasn't quite square, and
he called personally on the secretary to
make inquiries. lie was assured that
everything was right. In December, 1881,
Mrs. Fitzgerald died, and SlOnaker pre-
pared the necessary proofs, in expectation
of getting the $1,000 insurance. He was
taken quite aback, however, in receiving
from the secretary Of the company in
April \ statement that he was only
entitled to $40, instead Of $1,000
At the time the secretary nOti-
fled SlODakcr that s. assessment
on each member would pay
ali the losses, there were fifteen dead
members whose accounts had not been
and to have paid these $15, 600
by s. assessments would havo required a
membership of 5000, whereas, tho com
pany, it is said did not have ono tenth Of
that number. After rejecting over the
matter for some months, SlOnaker brought
suit as above stated, aud the case will be
heard By Alderman Barr.

A hostile meeting occurred last week
between two miners in the PecOs mining
company's camp, twenty miles north Of
the Mexican border. The duelists were
George Hollenbeck and William Strattou,
both of whom were born in New York.
They were educated at Cambridge the
former graduated as a lawyer and the lat
ter as a physician. They enlisted and
went through the war, serving in Colonel
Gordon's One Hundred and FOrty-fourth
New York regiment. at the close of the
war they returned home, but finding pro-
fessional pursuits too tame for them they
concluded to go West. Before they left
home a difficulty arose between them
which was prevented from ending in
bloodshed by the interposition Of mutual
friends.

Hollenbeck, was groan. Stratton, be-
Iieving he had wounded Hollenbeck,
fired = third shot in the direction of the
groaning. The report of pistol came
from a corner directly opposite from
where tho groan appeared to proceed and
Stratton fell. No more shots being ex-
changed the miners opened the room and
entered. A light revealed the fact that
Stratton had been killed, while Holen-
beck was unhurt. Hollcnbeck is a ven
triloquist, and on entering the room, took
his stand in a diagonal corner from his ad

in the opposite corner, threw his voice in

ON board our rickety old men-of-war the
Americans are not very formidable, but
when it comes to taking u hand on land or
assisting in restoring order they have no
superior. Their conduct in aiding to quiet
Alexandria once more and rescue 1t from
the desert robbers, who rushed in after its
evacuation by the Egyptian army, is highly
trustworthy. as, indeed is the conduct oil
all the various nationalities. Further than
to place Alexandria as nearly as possible as
it was before the bombardment, the English
do not propose to go, but it is certainly
proper to do this much. Though. not di
rectly responsible for firing the city, hu-
manity demands that the powers repre-
scented in Egypt should take forcible pos
session until order is restored and the con-
ference shall have settled the difficulties.

THE sTAR-RouTERs
In the star-route trial to-day the taking
of evidence for the prosecution practically
ended. The last witness was John A,
Walsh, but before he reached the point
where his evidence was expected to be sem
StNlbllil an OpltNAlpli was AlN'l I'cSh W Wv
defense, and the argument consumed the
remainder of the day. Walsh tes'
Fitted that he met Brady by
appointment at the house of George ii.
| Sheridan. He has stated in newspaper in
terviews that in this interview Brady told
| him it had been customary for all mail con-
tractors to pay him Brady 20 per cent. OF
the increased pay allowed on account OF in.
creased orexpedited mail and that he should
expect Walsh to do the same. Walsh
testimony had reached the point of relating
the conversation he held at their interview,
when an objection was mterposed Counsel
for the government announced that if the
their witness was not allowed to proceed
their case was closed so far as the offer Of
evidence was concerned.
OPPOSED HIS CONFIRMATION.
The nomination of Joseph Slaughter as
postmaster at Mobile, was the subject o
a prolonged controversy in today's execu
tive session. His confirmation
which was finally effected by
u very decisive majority, was opposed
by Senator Morgan, and favored by Senator
Pugh. The discussion of this case occu
pied nearly three hours, but the questions
involved were not of general interest.
