Protecting Each Other

Against overwhelming and ruinous loss. This Company is organ zed on the mutual plan, and the charter provides that it shall be com: posed exclusively of insurers. Each insurer during the term of his insurance becomes member of the corporation, and is entitled to an equal voice in all it's business and to par ticipate In all it's benefits.
 Upon taking out policy premium note is deposited, part of which only is paid in cash, and the balance held for assessment in case of loss beyond cash payments. There can be no responsibility beyond the amount of the note. At the end of the term the note, with the balance unpaid. is given up to the maker.
 In case of loss it is provided that the same shall be adjusted by two disinterested persons mutually chosen by the insured and insurer If they fail so agree they shall choose tn third final, thus avoiding expensive and tedious litigation. The rates have been fixed as low as possible, thus bringing the benefits within the reach of all.
 Information and circulars may be obtained by addressing

convention were complied with had resulted
in tho accompaniment of none of the ends
desired. They violated the conditions ut
will, and the British resident could only pro-
test, having no army TO sustain him. The
wisest policy, Mr.. Weiner thought, would bo
for the imperial government TO withdraw tho
convention and re-establish tho conditions
existing before the war A great mistake, and
one that would be iraught with many evils,
for an indefinite leugth Of time, had been
made by liberating Cetowayo aud reinstating
him in only q small portion of his original
dominion. Between him and the twelve inde-
pendent princes who reignod over the appOr-
toned lands thore would, MI. Wiener thought,
be continual warfare, each being anxious to
encroach on the territory of the others.
THE DIAMOND MINES.
"The diamond industry of the Cape" Mr..
Wiener said, "is not in very lourishing
condition. The diamonds are there in large
quantities, but almost insupcrablo difficulties
are presented in mining them. The largest
miue covering an area Of twenty acres and
400 feet deep, Is not being successfully worked.
The sides of tho mine called reels, formed of
n peculiarly soft and rotten stone arc caving
continually, covering to depth of many 70 3
the diamondilerous soil. The miners are
kept constantly engaged in removing this de-
posit Since 1870 nearly $3.50 100000 in dia-
monds have been mined. A general business
depression exists in tho Cape colony at pros
ent owing TO the non-paying investments in
the diamond mines"
THE BAsUTos.
II is the intention ofthe Cape government,
Mr.. Wiener stated, 90 annul the annexation
of Basutoland, If the imperial government
refuses to take IL back under its jurisdiction,
an effort toward which is being strongly
made by the advocates of this measure in
nha haa lnttnl I'll
it impossible TO compel the Basutos to abide
by the prescribed laws as long as they are
given moral aid by the imperial government
hence the determination TO abandon them.

A CLEVER BLACKNIAILER.

By Offering to Help Bank Clerks who
Were in Trouble, Ho Manages 10 Make
Them Come Down Quite Handsomely.
The champion confidence man seems to
have been found at Stepney Depot, Conn.,, in
the person of Isaac II. Lockwood, a young
man who once cut a swell in Washington, and
was distinguished for his pleasing face and
manners. While in this latitude he was first
located in the ewelry business, at 90 Bridge
street, Georgetown, where it Is stated, he made
hosts of admring friends, especially among the
fair sex. His career in Georgetown terminated
in something of q cloud, as his former part
ners had him arrested on a charge of larceny,
though he was acquitted in the courts. After
this he went into q cutlery store at the cor
nor Of Seventh street and Pennsylvania av-
enue as n clerk, but at the urgent invitation
of tho proprietor was constrained to retire in
what might be called hurry. In fact Lock-
woad was charged with Matching n conspiracy
to turn the proprietor out aud take possession
himself.
The last exploit of Lockwood, as set forth
in the New Haven Erening Express, is 30 bold
and original us to provoke admiration along
with condemnation. 1t appears that when
Lockwood left Washington he became clerk
at Tifany's, in New York. 1t was rather dry
there, and he departed for Stepney Depot, and
rowed $240 from her on diamonds, and
in q we'll laid plan to swindle his
kinswoman even went so far as to
have her arrested. 1t was there that he
developed his grand scheme-a confidential
letter to bankers, bank clerks, cashiers, &c.
The letter recited the pathetic story of u
young bank clerk, who, after an $50, 900 de-
falcation, found himself facing ruin. He
went to rich friend who generously gave
him the sum with tho single proviso that he
should devote his life to honesty and econ
omy, and his wealth 70 relieving similar
cases that he should meet with during his
career. The young man went to work, and
during q series of busy years amassed
the colossal sum of $7S0,000; but alas he
never came across q single case where de-
faulting banker needed aid. So on his death
bed he left his $50, 900 to an executor with
instructions to apply it to this purpose. The
letter then invited confidential appeals from
embarrassed fiduciary agents. Lockwood
had obtained copy of the Bankers Almdndt
aud Register for 1882, and was then enabled tc
direct his envelopes with perfect accuracy
He sent out 1000 or 5000 of these
circular letters, and is believed to have VIC
timized many people. His game was to
threaten the exposure of persons who were
weak enough to write confidential letters OF
appeal in response, by using their written
confessions against them. He received q
great many registered letters, and it is be.
lieved that the Stepney postmaster was in the
swindle, as he has fled the country. The
alert postoflice authorities got clew of what
was going on, and Lockwood is now in
durance vile on the charge of using the mails
for fraudulent purposes. Many of the letters
received by him and found in his possession
present the most pitiful tales of dishonesty
and pecuniary aid.

New York telegram.
Mr.. l.. Wiener, member of the Cape
Colony parliament, who arrived here yester-
day on the steamer Alaska, and who, after an
absence of many years, is visiting his mother,
at her residence, 26l West Thirty ninth street,
to-day communicated TO Telegram reporter

Mr.. Wiener is strongly identified with the op-
position movement against the imperial gov

city, but upon reaching manhood he went to
Africa and has there been remarkably sue
cessful in the business enterprises in which
he embarked. He is now his party's candi-
date for the treasury portfolio.

CAPTURE OF RUNAWAY SAILoRs.-Vic-
tOria Post: The steamship Dakota, on
her arrival at this port last Tuesday,
had on board sixteen American seameu.
III charge of two naval officers, for the
United States war vessel Adams, now
stationed at Sitka. When the Dakota
came alongside Welch, Kithet d Co. g
wharf Wednesday morning, the men in
sisted on going ashore in spite of the
expressed command of the officers. who
did their utmost to prevent their es-
cape. The "Jacks" in body rushed on
to the dock and up through the town,
hiding wherever they could. The Off
Gers who had charge of the seamen i'm
mediateiy notified the Superintendent
OF Police, who Immediately took steps
to find the deserters. The police were
engaged in the search all day Wednes-
day, and before the steamer left for the
Sound had succeeded in discovering the
whereabouts of fourteen of the men.
and placing them on board the Dakota.
The fifteenth man voluntarily returned
on board, but the remaining one is still
at large. The bounty for each deserter
is $40. and as the police captured four
teen they are entitled to $40, a sum
which they richly earned by their
promptitude in arresting the runaways.
