The Discovery of Graveyard" Insurance
Policy on the Elder Woman-Other
Important Testimony.

There were some developments in the Foreman
case yesterday of a character that may result in
important discoveries. At the time of tho trag-
edy it was suggested that possibly its motive
might have been to recover policies the life Of
Mrs Foreman in some graveyard insurance
company, but it was then authorltatively denied
that the deceased was insured at all. Yesterday
Mr.. John Goldsberry called upon Coroner Wish
ard for the purpose Of getting officia certfi-
cate of the death of Mrs. Foreman, and that he
had been employed for this purpose by her son,
Milton Foreman, of Colfax, who held policy on
her life for $4,000 in the Eureka Life Associa-
tion." of Alliance, o., issued in his favor Dec So
1882. The coroner took the matter under con-
sideration, but it is probable that he will not
give the certificate asked for, Several persons
connected with the "Royal American Associa-
tton," of this city we're also examined, but
all denied that their company had written
any policies the life of Mrs. Foreman.
Yesterday Coroner Wlsnard learned that ohm
Foreman, who lived at the corner of Blackford
and New York streets, was about to remove to
Efhngham, ILL.,, and as he desired his testimony,
he sent a subpoena for him. Foreman, however,
had started in wagon about two hours before,
and the constables were at once sent after him,
with instructions to bring him back, that his
testimony could be taken, but at last accounts he
had not been overhauled 1t is but Just to Mr..
Foreman to say that he had not been informed
that his presence was needed further here.
Inc man Hough SILL remains in jail, and yes
terday James P. CattersOn and William j, Ham
ilton testified that Hough had told Them that
early in the morning of-the murder he had been
notified by boy, who came running from the
Foreman farm, that there was dead woman
there. If Hough said this, he certainly person
ally knew something about the crime, for the
murder was not discovered until late that day.

The Nav York railroad commissioners are
nsing their powers in sensible, busness-lke
manner. and decline TO pitch into and rip up
railroads generally. All questions brought be-
fore them thus far have been disposed OF in
manner satisfactory to the railroad companies
and compliments as well.
Boston IA well as Indianapolis is complaining
OF it's want OF influence over the through lines
The journal says: Boston lays claim to no less
than four lines Of communication with the West,
hut in no case does she possess an atom of in
Huenee at distance of 200 miles from the State
house.
By traffic agreement with the Boston, Hoosac
Tunnel & Western railway, which has been
signed, the New York, West Shore & Buffalo rail-
way has secured a direc: line TO Boston and the
East. The completion Of about l miles OF road
between schenectady and Hofman's, point on
the Mohawk river, where Junction of the two
roads will be made, is all that ID necessary to
tabtish tine connection.
The Grand Trunk road is steadily growing in
importance as a New England trunk line. The
company has thus far this winter received from
the Allan and Dominion Line steamers and
shipped to Canadian and Western points 1880

tons. This vast amount has been forwarded
promptly by the road, and without loss or
damage. The amount is about 10000 tons in
excess Of last seasons work in the same time.
WHY IT WAS ESTABLISHED.
A Bee Line official yesterday admitted that the
Buffalo &. Western SINNERS Silent Fast-freight
zne had been doing good business for some
weeks past, and he could see no reason why the
White Line people should object to use of the
Bee Line. the Lake Shore g. New York Cen.
era, cars in carrying through bust
ness Independent of all fast freight
lines, providing they did not take freight
which had been solicited or promised to the
White or some other fast freight line. In fact,
che official intimated that the representatives of
the fast freight lines which operate over the Bee
Line had been dilatory in gathering up business,
aud 1t was going over TO competitors, and the
silent Line was put in operation more
TO retain their business, than for
any other reason However the
business the line had carried, good rates had
been maintained, and the revenue therefrOm

UnskiIlel LabOrers.

We have seen the estimate that the
difference between educated and unedll-
Gated laborers would amount to four
hundred million dollars, yearly in the
whole United States. Such an estimate
could not of course be very accurate,
andnquite possibly it may be much too
low. An educated person would not he
likely to commit the blunder of the man
who took his bag of grain to mill on
horseback, he himself riding atop the
bag; but thinking that both himself and
bag were too heavy load for the horse, +
dismounted, took the bag on his own
shoulder, and resumed his position on
horseback. Nor would any person with
a scientific education be likely to fall
into the mistake of giving his small
horse the small end of the whifiletree in
blowing. A case no better than this was
mentioned at one of the meetings for
discussion held last winter by the Massa-
chusetts Board of Agriculture. Mr..
Cheever gave an instance of what he
deemed an extreme case of obtuse Wis
ion, but which might perhaps be as
we'll charged to want of scient, dc
knowledge. He was plowing with
three horses, with his man to drive; but
being called away, he took one horse,
and left the two for the man to plow
with alone. When he returned at
night, neighbor informed him that
some inelegant language had been used
in the field during his absence, He ac,.
cordingly asked the man, the cause OF
the trouble. He answered that one OF
the horses had behaved as mean as
horse could do; would not keep up within
four feet of her mate, and no whipping
could make her do it, On examina-
ton, it was found that rs he could not
find the two-horse whiffietree, he had
used the threc-horse one, attaching the
shortest end to the shortest horse. The
result was that the lightest horse had
twice the work of the heavy and surong
one. Whipping did not add strength to
the animal, or add length to the whiflle-
tree. The man said he didn't Know
that it would make much if any differ
ence. This appears to be distinct in
stance Of loss from q want of knowledge
OF mechanical principles and how to ap-
ply them in practice. If all laborers
were as deficient the difference between
them and those possessing fair
amount of knowledge and skill may be
equivalent to more than four hundred
million dollars a year in the country at
large. Country Gentleman. o.-.

A Misused Word.

Perhaps the best abused word in the
language is professor" There ap-
pears to be mania for attaching it to
all sorts and conditions of men. Time
was when the word carried with it
certain significance. but nowadays that
significance is found only in its insignifi-
cance. A lledgling Of one-and-twenty,
who, to use the expression Of Ephraiin'
Smooth, 'rubbeth the hair of the
horse against the bowels of the cat, or,
in other words, plays the fiddle, is
dubbed professor; the brriser, whose
only ambition is to knock ont of all
semblance of humanity the face of his
opponent, is professor of the manly.

forthe muniticent remuneration Of five

driver of the street-sweeping machine
are professors; and so also is the
operator to whose tender mercies you
submit your chin to be reaped, with Sc
rious misgivings concerning the safety
OF your throat, and so on, ad infnitum.
This may be all right, for it is level
ing age, and what right has any man,
no matter what his moral or intellectual
standing, to possess and enjoy a title
which his fellow-man, no matter how
far down In the social scale he may be,
has not the same right to appropriated

II there is any significance whatever in
the use OF the title;if it carries with il

the teachers Of any of the liberal arts
and sciences, then it should be applied
only to those who are entitled by high
intellectual standing to rightly wear 1t.
