INSURANCE LAW.

Franklin Smith, well-to-do man liv-
ing in Lehigh county, Pa, in 1872 exc
cuted mortgage to the Penn Mutual
Life Insurance Company for 5000, at
the same time taking out policy upon
his life for the amount, and assigning it
to the company as collateral security.
The interest OH the mortgage and the
premiums on the policy were promptly
paid until the 10th of September, on
which day premium was due which
Mr. Smith failed to pay, having been
stricken down with apoplexy. He re-
mained unconscious for several days,
and on the morning of the 25th, one
Faust, to whom he had previously made
an assignment for the benefit of his cred
itors, left Allentown to go to the com
pany's Office to pay the premium, but
Smith died while he was on the way, and
the company having learned that fact,
refused to receive the premium and de-
clared the policy forfeited. The com
pany subsequently brought suit on the
mortgage, and the judge before whom
the case was tried sustained the for
feiture of the policy, refused to allow it
as a set-off. An appeal was taken to the
Supreme Court, which, in an opinion by
Chief Justice Sharswood, says: ut is a
principle now too well settled to be con-
troverted, that when party contracts
to do anything which does not absolutely
require him to do it in person, sickness
does not excuse, for he ought to have
provided for it in the contract itself.
This principle applies to the contract OF
insurance We are of opinion that there
was no error committed by the court be-
low, and the judgment is, therefore, af
firmedn

A strange incident occurred in Deca-
tur, ILL., Charles Athens, a man well
known to showmen, who has been suf-
fering from hardening of the brain, and
has suffered five paralytic strokes, had
another few evenings since. To all
appearances he died, and his friends
laid him out for burial. An undertaken
was summoned, and a suit of clothes
was procured for the supposed dead
man. The family sat up and went into
the room in which the corpse lay several
times during the night, and found the
body each time apparently lifeless On
going into the room again at O'Clock
the next morning a member of the fam
lily found Athens with his eyes wide open
and breathing as naturally asever. The
next morning Mr.. Athens, who is 33
years of age, and weighs over 200 Opounds,
was feeling like new man, and got up
as usual He has no recollection of dy-
ing, and no knowledge of what was done
while he was unconscious.

Notice is given by the Lighthouse
Board that on or about June 1, 1882, a
lightship will be moored off the coast of
New Jersey, near the NE end of Five
Fathom Bank. at the position now oc-
cupied by the whistling buoy, in 9 faith
oms of water The vessel is schooner
rugged and painted red, with the words
Northeast End" on each side in large
black letters, and mo. Az on the stern.
A fixed red light will be shown from the
foremast head at about 40 feet from the
level of the sea, and a fixed white light
from the mainmast head at about the
same height. They should be visible in
clear weather about eleven nautical
miles. At each masthead there will be
displayed cage work day-marks painted
black and surmounted by black balls.
The approximate position, as taken from
the charts of the Coast and Geodetic
Survey, is as follows: Latitude 38 81 SO,
longitude "a 80 81; Hereford Inlet light
house bearing WNW w, distant 12
miles; Five Fathom Bank lightship bear
ing SSW, distant 81 miles. Vessels of
deep draught should pass to the sea-
ward of this lightship. During thick and
foggy weather there will be sounded on
this vessel 12-inch steam fog-whistle,
giving every two minutes two blasts OF
four seconds duration, with five seconds
pause between.

Senate bill, No. 1877, which the Gov
ernor vetoed, was righteous measure,
and the Senate promptly passed it over
his head. The act was drawn to
strengthen the Pennsylvania Railroad
in it's position as owner of the Riparian
right along portion Of the Water Front
of Jersey City. Several years since that
corporation gave the State $500, 900 for
the right, and obtained deed for the
same. At that time the now valuable
privilege was mere succession OF mud
flats, mainly supposed to be useless.
The price paid was thought to be enor-
NOUS Nothing daunted the company
went to work, and at an expense OF
nearly 81, ,OO0, 900, built up wharves, piers
and docks, filed in the waste places and
made them blossom as the rose. Now,
after all this along comes Jersey City
and proposes to take these new made
lands and run streets through them.
And this they intend to do without CON-
pensation. There is nothing right about
it. If Jersey City wants the right to
Law out streets she can have it by con-
demnation and compensation, but in no
other way The State gave the deed,
and that deed must hold good, and on
this ground the Legislature stands. An
excellent editorial on this subject, from
the State Gazette, can be found in to-day'i

MORMON HORRORS.

An astonishing story is told by Salt
of the Chicago Tribune: With regard
to blood -atonement | am assured that it
is practiced to-day as frequently as it
was twenty-five years ago, though not
so openly. There are no coroners in
Utah and when a body is in death it is
simply buried Poison does the work
and there are no inquiries. When
man gets tired of his wife he poisons
her. One crime, which was committed
here only a short time ago, | must de-
scribe Mrs. Maxwell came to Salt Lake
City with her husband in 1869. Two
years afterward he took another wife
and one year subsequently he sealed to
third. Mrs Maxwell had two sons,
aged respectively fourteen and sixteen
years Their father urged them to go
through the Endowment House and be-
come Mormons Having led a life like
that of Mrs. Hunt, she objected, and in
order to prevail over her sons she told
| them the secrets of the Endowment
House.
The penalty of revealing these secrets
is dismemberment of the body, the
throat cut and tongue torn out. Mr..
Maxwell overheard his wife, who was
in an adjoining room, and forthwith he
informed the elders, who sent for the
unfortunate woman and her two sons.
They were taken into what is called the
dark pitt blood-atoning room under
Brigham Young's house. Six members
of the priesthood then performed their
damnable crime; they first cut off their
victims tongue, they then cut her throat.
The sons were compelled to stand by
and witness this dreadful slaughter OF
their mother. The sons went directly to
the house of friend, to whom they re-
lated the butchery of their mother, and
obtaining a package of provisions they
started; but on the following morning
they were both dead-they had met the

The steamer 'Moser' from Bremen
brought 100 boxes of infant monkeys,
consigned to Charles Reiche & Brothers
New York. The monkeys from all ac
counts had rough time coming over,
being seasick all the time. On being
landed they manifested their delight on
touching terra .f,ma once more, by howl
ing and coughing, tumbling over each
other and cutting up all sorts of mon
key shines. The small boy was around
and took delight in teasing the infants.
After the boxes had been stacked up in
Mr.. Reich's store in Chatham street, the
young monkeys stood upright in row
against the backs of the boxes, and kept
avigorous lookout for all corners. Among
the boxes was one which contained two
''holy monkeys" such as the natives OF
certain African tribes consider worthy
of worship. They have large black eyes,
and are clothed with long, soft white
hair In another box was a muscat
from Africa 1t clawed and nearly tore
off the nose of an employee who was re
moving the box to the store.

GEN. GRANT ON RosEcRANs.

Mr. Thomas N. Nichol, well known to
have been a warm friend of President
Garfield, was interviewed at Chicago,
in regard to the recently publish
ed letter of Garfield to Chase, on Rose
GRAMS Mr.. Nichol said he believed the
letter to be genuine, believed that it
gave true account of the management
of the Army Of the Cumberland after
the battle of Stone River, and that there
was nothing improper in writing it.
Certainly there was no expression of un-
kindness toward Gen. Rosecrans or of a
desire to injure him. Garfield always
spoke of Rosecrans in the warmest terms
of friendship, and said he was man OF
great deal more ability than he was
given credit for After his failure he
considered Rosecrans perfectly honest,
sincere, and loyal man, but said very
freely that he considered his policy of
managing the army at that time a mis-
taken one. II had conversation with
General Grant soon after the election" J"
said Mr. Nichol, lin which he stated
tIlht blcIc WoIC tWO luCi bAdO oClOi ee
Garfield could never recognize or speak
to without an entire sacrifice of his own
-respect-Hewitta and Rosecrans. He
said that Mr.. Hewitt's conduct to him
was outrageously indecent, but that of
General Rosecrans was great deal
worse, for General Garfield had been the
best friend he ever had. He had stood
up for him, apologized for his blunders,
explained and excused them, and de-
Tended him for seventeen years, when, if
it hadn't been for Garfield, he would
have gone into obscurity, which was all
his worthlessness entitled him to. Gen
eral Grant said that General Rosecrans
never was fit to command an army, as
he wouldn't, or rather couldn't, obey Or
ders. He said that Rosecrans was q
constitutionally insubordinate sort of a
pig-headed, obstinate man, who would
get selfish prejudice into his head, and
act on it, against the judgment and rea-
son of everybody else. He said that
Rosecrans would have utterly destroyed
| the Army of the Cumberland, or had it
destroyed, if it hadn't been for the intel
ligence of the army itself, especially OF
such subordinate officers as Garfield and
| Thomas"

The Morris Jersey,naa says: The will
of the late Hon. Francis s. Lathrop was
taken to the Surrogate's Office on We'd
nesday for instructions, it having been
made forty seven years ago and no codi-

subscribing witnesses being dead. There
were two executors and one executrix,
and of these the latter only. Mrs. Lath-

before the Judge was about to take pas
sage for Europe in sailing vessel. 1t is

date, and that at least one codicil thereto
was made very recently, but the most
diligent search has thus far failed to
bring them to light.

The President has signed the Anti
Polygamy bill, and the Mormons had
better turn their attention from the in
dustry of manufacturing petitions and
preparing protests to the more pressing
and practical business of arranging to
accommodate themselves to the changed
conditions of affairs. The bill is very
stringent and sweeping in its provisions,
and the Mormon polygamists may be
very sure that it will be stringently en-
forced Public opinion in the United
States demands that Mormonism, SO far
as it conflicts with the laws of the coun-
try, be suppressed.

Henry w. Longfellow, the poet, died
at 3:15 p. m, Friday. His bedside was
surrounded by his family. He has been
ailing for some time past. He was born
February 81, 1907, and his seventy-fifth
birthday was celebrated in many cities
and towns in this country. He was a
graduate of Bowdoin College, and for
some time held the professorship of
modern languages there, at later date
holding the same position in Harvard
College. He began his literary life by
contributions to the papers and periodi-
Gals. His first published works OF i'm
portance were in prose, ''Outre Mer" and
Hyperion, and his first collected poems
were published in 1S41. Since that time
Mr.. Longfellow has been an industrious
writer. and the most popular OF our
American poets. His great versatility is
shown in his translations from the Span
ish and Italian, his s'Dante" being ac-
cepted as one of the standard classics.

A TERRIBLE AVALANCHE.

The avalanche that came down the
mountains at Genoa, Nevada, last Thurs
day morning, was of great extent. Oc-
curing as it did at $50 in the morning,
when most of the people were in bed,
the wonder is that more of the residents
of the town did not lose their lives. The
first intimation had by the people was
rumbling sound like that of an earth
quake. Bells were rung, and cries for
assistance passed along the streets by
those who happened to be up. The
slide came down the gorge Immediately
south of Genoa Canyon and swept every
thing before it as far as Main street. No
obstacle checked this moving mountain
of snow until it spread out and lost its
force on the nearly level piece of land on
which Genoa is built, fully quarter of
q mile from the base of the mountain.
At this time it is impossible to estimate
the loss of property. Everything is
chaos. Broken lumber, splinters of
| furniture, pine and fruit trees, hay,
clothing, kitchen ware and bedding are
distributed through body of snow and
ice from ten to fifty feet in depth and
several acres in extent. The Long
building, which stood nearest the noun
tain, was occupied by Indians driven
from their wigwams by the severity of
the storm. AS near as can be ascer-
tanned, but seven were in the house at
the time of the catastrophe. No trace
of the building can be recognized, and as
yet no search has been made for it's oc-
cupants.
Next came the residence and barn OF
Minerod Bowers, which were completely
crushed to pieces and carried into the
adjoining lot of d. W. Virgin. Minerod
and his wife were found still in their bee
and almost on top of the snow and debris
both dead The residences of D. W.
Virgin, W. ID. Gray and that of H. Boer

ished. The occupants were Mr.. and

questioned that Lynch received large
majority of the votes But thousands
of his votes were thrown out, so as tc
elect Chalmers, on the ground that there
were devices, consisting of unmeaning

which were in violation of a new State
