THE ARGUS.
The Oldest Insurance Paper in
the West.

The November number of the
Argus, the oldest insurance paper Of
the West, issued at 1853 and l63 La
Sale street, Chicago, bids fair to be of
unusual interest to insurance men
throughout the country. 1t is to be
issued in book form, with from 100 to
100 pages, containing illustrations,
and printed on heavy paper, with
artistic cover, combining the salient
points Of all year and blue books, and
it cannot fail to be appreciated, and
will be valuable for reference by
business men, as we'll as indispensable
to underwriters in this country and in
Europe. 1t is to be published by G..
E. Rollins, at 81 per copy in paper
cover and $l50 in cloth. In a circular
recently issued by Mr.. Rollins he says:
This is the eleventh anniversary of
the terrible confagration which de.
stroyed Chicsgo, and although the

TO DEATH.
A Lady, Formerly a Resident OF
Nashville, Scared 20 Death by
Tramp.
Nashville American. 6.


A few years ago a lady living il
South Nashville was married 10 !
we'll to do farmer in an ADJOINING
county, and had lived happily with
him until a few days ago. About a
week ago. her husband went to the
county seat. a few miles distant, to
transact some business or other. ex-
peeting to return in the afternoon. He
did not return, however, and though
his absence created no alarm, still
his wife was naturally a little uneasy,
being alone with her little eirl IN
the house. Hearing some one walk
outside, just about dusk, she thought
it was her husband, and went out into
the hall to meet him, when she was
confronted by a burly tramp, who in
surly tones demanded something to
eat and place to sleep during the
night. Though frightened, the lady
controlled herself and refused, saving
that Der husband was not at home and
she could not take in any one. The
rutian then said coarsely that he
would show her whether be would
stay, and marched into the bedroom
and took possession. Frightened and
alarmed for her safety the lady
took her little one and fed 10 her
nearest neighbours house, into which
,he rushed excitedly and ~speechless
from fright. Her little girl explained
what had happened, and the ne;ghbor
carried the woman in and gave her all
the attention possible, she being in a
delicate condition, and her friends
feeling uneasy about her safety. The
men in the house then went to her
house, and there found the lady's
husband, who had meantime returned
home and driven the tramp away.
He explained that he had been put
