NEwcoMRRsTowS, O.. October 24.-The
greatest excitement prevails in town over a
horrible murder perpetrated about ten
miles north OF here. The news Is brought
by q well known farmer. The name OF the
inhuman monster Is Albert Finssr. He
FIRST killed his wife and afterwards his three
children. A report that Finser had termi-
mated his own existence by sending three
bullets through his brain has just been
confirmed. A great number Of the resi-.
dents here have left for the scene Of the
bloody affair.
Finser resided on Fryer's Creek Valley,
and was last seen Sunday evening, when
lie was very respondent because the doc
tor had advised him to quit work on ac'
count Of his health. He seemed to be much
worried about bis. family. Last night q
ueighbor named Nersbsim, visited the
house Of Finser and found the doors locked
and curtains down. After summoning the
nelghbors the door was forced open, when
horrible sight met their gaze. g-
A HORRIBLE SIGHT.
On a bed in one corner Of the room lay
the dead body Of Mrs. Finser, with her
throat cut from ear to ear, while by her
side was her youngest child, cold in death,
with its head smashed. In the little crib
ON the east side Of the room lay the two
Oldest children with their heads crushe d
in, and near the north side Of the room lay
Mr.. Fiaser with the side OF his face torn
of by the discharge OF gun. The mother
and child on the bed we're lying as il
asleep, both being covered up with quilts.
It is supposed that brooding over his III
health and inability to work deranged
Finser's mind, and that while his wife and
children we're sleeping he murdered them
and then killed himself, as there was no
evidence in the room that there was q
scufils. The manner which the murderous
father killed himself is certainly diabolical.
BY his side was an empty gun barrel, with
no hammer or stock. He must have loaded
the barrel and then held one end in the
flame OF the lamp that stood near by and
the other in bis face, and held It till 1t ex.
ploded from the heat and blew his brains

LIGHT AND GLASS.

The church Is lighted by q large gsthic
window, twenty six feet in length and
divided into fifteen lights. Six OF these
open into in the lecture.room and the others
into the gallery. Besides, there are nine
double gothic windows in the audience
room, and two in the vts:ibule. Two
single gothic windows light the pulpit
niche and four circular windows are in the
tower. The area lighted measures four
hundred and eighty equare feet.
The glass Is one Of the most pleasing
features OF the church and Ia itself a study.
1t is not enameled, or even stained, but
"rolled cathedral" glass, Of double and
triple the thickness OF ordinary window
glass. The sheets Of this glass are made in
Europe, whencs It is imported into this
country and cut into various patterns.
The windows were designed and execut.
ed by Msfsts. S. S. Ma. shall & Btos., OF
Allegheny City, Penn. Two borders, one
OF blne and yellow, the other of two shades
OF brown enclose q figured diamond either
OF purple or yellow, or blue or garnet, each
diamond matched with a half diamond on
either eide Of some other color.
Each pair Of opposite windows is alike
and unlike every other pair, not In pattern
but in the colors used Nj piece OF this
glass Is ever FIVE inches square while most
Of 1t Is in pieces Of two inches square.
These are held in place by leads aud are
firmly placed in the sash by putty, nails
and iron transverse rods. TIE am9nnt Of
work iuvolv d may be estimated from the
fact that each window contains probably
one hundred different pieces Of gldSs.
In the kites Of the windows are tracerB
or emblems OF various eiguifcancs. Toe
large front window contains two, and the
emblem Of the Scotch church, the burning
brush, and the Italian church, the candle,
arouud esch Of which Is the motoi in Latin.
The other windows contain the golden
candiestick (he emblem Of the General
CounciD, the descending dove, the open
Bible and Burning brush (smblem OF the
Euglish church, the cups aad the vine and
the cross, and the crown. The yestibule
windows contain the "Holy Bible" and
the niche windows, without kites have
solid squares OF Pom peian blue.
The weight Of this glass Is about twelve.

BASE BALL AGREEMENT.
Indianapolis and Brooklyn Clubs to Join
the American Association.

The arbitration committee of the three base
ball aseociations-the League, the American and
Northwestern-isin session III New York, and on
Saturday it was agreed TO revise the tripartite
agreement on the following basis: 1t will allow
any reputable base ball association at any time,
to JOIN the combination, and come in under the
benent of all the advantages of the general
agreement and reserve rule, provided such asso-
citation shall have no clnb member located in
any city now represented In the three associa-
tisns. This will take the place of the Alliance
clu hs now in existence. Another provision will
be made, that no member of the agreement shall
be permitted TO put "A club into any city already
represented by a club member from either of
the other parties. Thus the League shall be
prohibited from putting q club in Baltimore or
St. Louis, and the American Association from
putting one in Chicago or Boston. In other
words, the three bodies will protect each others
interests to the limit.
II has been determined to give the Indianapolis
ana Brooklyn clubs all the protection they may
desire, FOR the reason tn at they mar some day
not far off become members of one of the three
organizations, with the distinct understanding
that the TWO clubs must recognize the reserve
iiets and contracts of the three bodies. There
will also be adopted a clause to the agreement de-
claring that any reservation by a club of a player
will remain in force until eu3h player is signed
or released by such club. or the club disbands or
is disbanded. All clubs that disre gard the re-.
serve rule or legal contracts are to be put upon
the same footing az n club that employs an eX-
{ PEELED piayer-that is, every club governed by
the trlpartitea agreement will be restr3ined from
playing against such offending club, or against
any club which shall have played with such Of

truthworthiness of the company depends upon
TRe length of time that it is likely to be in

the different ages by the fourteen companies
which have reported to the auditor of State,
makes the following frightful showing of how.

The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1883-10-29

The accident companies are not required to re-
port the amount of their risks, but some of the
hse-insurance companies failed TO answer all the
the questions asked. The sound or unsonnd
companies can be judged from the foregoing
statement, as nearly as there is any possibility of
from the financial showing in the
reports; but an idea of the real condition can
only be obtained from the character OF the risks
held by each. The best companies issue policies
only to persons under ~ffty-tive and sixty years
of age, but many of them accept risks on persons
eighty-fve years old.

panies doing business in Indiana have been in

1t will be observed from the foregoing classif-
cation that the number of insured does not ex-
coed one hundred of any one age until the class
thlrty-hve years Old is reached, and not until the
age of fifty is reached does the number of in
sured rise steadily above one hundred. 1t is
shown that there are fifty-one insured at twenty
years of age, while there are 64S insured at the
age of eighty! Running down to the end of the
column 1t Is found that there are 144 persons at
The age of ninety who are insured in these mutual
assessment companies. In what is regarded as
a straightforward, legitimate life insurance bust
ness, the average duration OF q policy is seven
years. AT twenty-five the insurers expecta-
tion OF life is thirty-nine years. How the policy
holders between the ages of twenty and forty,
or even fifty, expect TO ever realize the benefits
OF their insurance Is a perpleXing problem. Just
what may be expected from the assessment in
surance companies may be judged from the
figures here given.
THE INSURANCE LAWS.
"Will the act passed by the last Legislature
have the effect to suppress fraudulent COM
panles7" asked a Journal reporter Of Auditor
Rice.
"None whatever" he replied. 'The mutual
assessment insurance companies themselves
secured the passage of that law"
All the companies have not made the required
reports to the Auditor. The act for the regula-
ton of the business provides that if the Auditor
