An Overdose or Morphine.
PORTLAND, Ogn., April H.-A. G.
Flurrey, of Lagrange, Oregon, who
came here to attend the blooded horse
sale, was this morning found dead in
bed at the Quimby House. 1t is sup.
posed he committed suicide with NOR
phine, as an empty bottle that had con-
tanned that drug was found in his coat
pocket. The coroner's jury rendered a
verdict of death by his own hand, but
inclined to the belief that in his desire
to produce sleep, an overdose of the
drug had been taken. Flurrey killed q
man named Dudley, in Tacoma, eleven
years ago, for which he was sentenced
to fourteen years in the penitentiary,
but after serving four years he was par
doned. Since that time he has had no
peaceful sleep without drugs, remorse
seeming 10 prey on his mind. Deceased
was aged forty five years.

Interesting Life Insurance De-
cisi0n.
WAsmNGToN, d. c., April l4.-The
Supreme Court to-day rendered de-
cision in life insurance case from Penn.
sylvania, in which the insurance policy
stipulated, if the representations and
answers made to the company in the
application for the policy should be
found untrue in any respect, the policy
should bo void. The policy holder in
his application stated that he had never
had asthma, consumption or scrofula,
and it subsequently appeared that these
diseases were latent in his system. The
lower court held that this invalidated
the policy regardless of the fact whether
the applicant was aware of the fact or
not. The Supreae Court rsverses this
decision on the ground that if the dis
eases were so latent that the applicant
was notswarc of them, there was no fraud
on his part such as would Justify in
validating his policy.
No Appeal from the CommIs-
sioner In Patent Cases.
WASHINGTON, d. c., April 4.-The

to the Secretary of the Interior from the

The cLstom OF entertaining such appeals

that many decisions of the Commissioner
have been reversed by the Secretary.

Milwaukee, Buffalo, Memphis, Pater.
son, Cleveland and Charleston and the
New York Stock, Cotton and Produce
Exchanges and in every case, with but
one exception, the resolutions were re.
ported as having been adopted unani-
mously. A letter was read from Mr..
Halstead, of Cincinnati, strongly urging
the organization of an association
for the prevention of silver coinage. A
memorial, signed by twentysix hundred
citizens Of New York was read, favoring
the same policy. Brief addresses were
made by number OF gentlemen present,
setting forth that all the busi-
ness men of the country are viewing
with alarm the present aud prospective
effects of the silver issue, and also that
very decided change in popular senti
ment on silver coinage is taking place in
various localities of the West aud South.
