INSURANCE IN ENGLAND.

The London Economist has a well con-
sidered article on insurance, from which
it appears that the business Of the Eng
lish fire insurance companies last year
was very unsatisfactory, and on the whole
not as profitable as that of the American
companies. Indeed, the business OF the
English companies in 1882 was less
profitable than in 1881, which year was
an exceptionally bad u The volume
Of transactions in 1882 was considerably
larger than in 1881, but the losses and
expenses increased in like measure. OF
the total premiums received fully 81 per
cent have been absorbed by fire losses,
while 30 per cent have gone to pay
agents commissions, expenses Of manage.
ment, etc., leaving only 3 per cent as
profit. This represents the average
profit Of the IS leading companies OF
England. some Of which not only did not
make anything, but actually made
deficits. This bad showing for the Eng.
lish companies ii said to be due more to
loose business methods and reckless pom.
petition than to Are losses.

ESPECIAL TO THE sENTINEL.l


CHICAGO, June 19.-Yesterday was re-
ceived the first car load Of California fruit
this season. The car was attached to the
passenger train, and the fruit, apricots,
peaches and pears, arrived in fine condi-
ton. The freight charges from Sacra-
mento to Chicago were $3.50. One OF the
disadvantages tina. the California fruit
growers have to contend with is the high
freight charges by the railroads. They
cannot ship fruit east Of the Rocky Noun
tains with profit, and are endeavoring TO
induce the railroad companies to give them
q fast fruit train at the same rates they
charge for carrying fruit by slow freight.

languished and died for the want of pub

1t has always been a cause OF surprise
to me that in a city Of the size of Savan-

that the battalions of the deluded vota-

ESCAPE OF 4 TIGER.
How Life Preservers We're Ma and
Used to Escape from Fort De- IRE.

How Life Preservers We're Ma and
Used to Escape from Fort De- re.
The Philadelphia Sunday t. Is prints
narrative OF remarkable ([sape made by
a private in the LOu;sio- = Tigers from
Fort Delaware.
The soldier was wounded on the ID Of
July, 1865, in front Of Cemetery Heights,
IN the battle of Gettysburg. He was taken
TO the rear hospital, where he remained
till the 4th, when the army commenced
falling back. He was provided with a
horse, and endeavored to reach Virginia.
About or O'clock on the morning of the
9Th the Yankee cavalry captured some
nfty wagons, and at the same time taking
him IN ''out of the wet"
He was finally sent to Waynesboro, Pa,
where he remained until his wounds were
healed. From Harrisburg he was sent to
Fort Delaware, where he remained until
the 18th of July, 1864.
Then follows his story of his sufferings
and privations at the fort during the VIM
tiers Of 1864 in which he says: Zone
week an order would be issued giving
permission TO write to friends or relatives
for clothing or money, and about the time
the things were on their way an order
would be issued resembling the first one,
so the goods ana letters when they
reached the island were confiscated. The
prisoners had many ways for turning an
honest penny Some would get a plug
of tobacco and cut it up and sell 1t out
by the five cents worth; some peddled
flap-jacks at dollar apiece saw
man eat S24 worth at one time-and
others apple dumplings, at the same price
in Confederate money of course"
In the summer of 1864 he and a friend
determined to escape from the fort. They
procured an oil cloth, and cut it into four
pieces of double thickness, then with
some shoemaker's wax and thread they
sewed the pieces of Oilcloth together IN
sort of bag, making the seams water
tight with the wax. Leaving an opening
in the upper end a spool with an alright
plug was inserted, then fastening strap
to suspend the bag upon the neck, leay-
ing it to hang down on the chest, with
straps at the lower end TO tie around the
back. When they wish to fill it with air,
it was only necessary to bend the head
little, place the mouth TO the spool and
blow, and the thing was soon filled. With
this continuance they were able to float
tor hours.
When the detail from the next barracks
came into their yard to clean it, the Tigers
helped to load the wagon, and when the
detail left, the prisoners, with their float
ing apparatus, managed to accompany
the wOrkmen, after which they remained
concealed until night, when they succeed
ed in gaining the river. When they were
about half way across the river they swan
for the shore, but before they reached it
the tide was coming in rapidly, and they
landed near the entrance of the Chesa-
peake and Delaware canal. After getting
out of the water they waited for half an
hour and then struck out below Delaware
City, and finally escaped to their homes in
louisiana.

cOolly appropriated the spoil; upon which
the rightful owner expostulated in pretty
plain language, but to no effect, as the
Frenchman gesticulated and jabbered,
protesting that the money belonged to
him. AT length, losing all patience, the
American let fly' right aud left several
times, and the Frenchman got more than
he bargained for, but not more than he
deserved. You can imagine the cOmmo-
ton which ensued. Play was instantly
stopped, the doors were closed and the
disputants led off by the police, who
eventually expelled the defrauding Mos

money. as the crOupiers bore testimony to
his claims.

seemed afraid TO approach her at first;
but eventually one OF the stalwart attend

Company, will give two performances at

aud the vocal and instrumental portion Of
the programme is conceded TO be among the

comedians are also of the first order, and
the programme is an entirely new one,
devoid of the stale features which usually
characterize minstrel performance. The
new burlesque, 'LangtTy, or Ben Butler
and the Jersey Lily Is cOstumed in gor-

music from Harrigan 81 Harris last New

operas of the day, and a delightful vein Of
