BRIEF MENTIONINGS,

The best thing to read-The
CAPITAL.
Many strangers are visiting our
city at this time.
Fifteen new subscribers to the
CAPITAL this week so far.
One of the great needs of our
city is fruit packing establish
ment.
A disease styled "the freckIes,"
has appeared on the rinds of water
melons.
Melons and cantaloupes are fin
er this season than they have been
for several years.
Hard crabbers are doing lively
business in their line, and crabs are
said to be plentiful.
The show parties were at work
to-day putting up their circus bills
on the bulletin boards.
-Watermelons are selling at
10 cts, and everybody ought to lieable
to eat them at that price
The new residence and business
place of w. E. Brooks on Main ST.,
will soon be ready for occupancy.
RI Remember the Excursion to
COLCHESTER Beach on the 2lst inst, by
the Presbyterian Sabbath School.
Sweet potatoes are becoming
quite plentiful in our market, and the
crop promises to be very large
one.
-Fall-like weather is fast creeping
on us and soon the linen duster will
be discarded for the more comfortable
overcoat.
The political torch and the mar
tial music and the grotesque trans
parencies will soon delight the young
urchins of the town.
MIR. j. Griscomb, on the Lock
wood farm, shipped load of fine ice
rind melons and nutmeg cantaloupes
to New York on Monday.
Bad cookery, in short, is working
as much mischief as bad whiskey, and
is doing more to perpetuate the use
of the latter than is generally
known.
The long-looked for circus is
coming this way and the missing
urchins can now be found by their
parents gazing at the Illuminated
bulletin boards.
The high fence in front of the
vacant lot on Main street. between
the properties of Messrs. Tate and
yollmer's, hides an old eye-sore in
that neighborhood.

I should have kept my word to you but

She tried to summon up her pride

New York Sun In Cuba, if you ask
for cigars in English in a tobacco shop,
you will get cigarettes. They call cigars
tobacco; cigarettes are called cigarros.
Cigars are exceedingly cheap there.
The famous Henry Clays, which in this
country command thirty cents and are
not then sure to be genuine. sell there
fer SO a hundred. You can get very
good cigars for four OF five cents; and
the favorites with gentlemen of taste,
the great black Brevas, sell for from
six TO eight cents singly, These Brevas
are certainly delicious on top offs hearty
dinner. They are not pretty. They are
rough, coarse, badly made in appear
ance, and are usually twisted a little
awry. But, as the Irish say, they have
the real stuff in them. Russia, which
In all the markets of the world, is
the most tasteful buy er and carries off
the best of everything, manages to get
all the best Brevas. America could have
them, but America is not q good buyer.
She considers the looks Of things rath-
er than the quality. They tell me the
most astonishing stories about cigars in
Cuba, investing them with brains, stom-
achs, and nerves. Every Cuban will
positively assure. you that if you LET a
cigar get old and dry, you run . risk
Of it's having disease, vices and bad
habits. They say il may get obstinate
and smoke crooked; it may have drunk
] n bad odors and made itself sick. They
positively assert that cigars get sea-sick
on the ocean, and in that condition are
not At to smoke. But seasickness

THE CINCINNATI RIOTS.
The Charge of Judge Avery to the
Jury Explaining Duties.

CINCINNATI, April 14.-Judge Avery, in
his charge to the special grand jury, made
plain to them that they had been summoned,
after due consideration of the court, upon
the suggestion of the prosecuting attorney to
inquire and make true presentment con-
cerning the riot, its occasion and causes, and
the destruction of life and property. not to re-
count events, and make clear the connection
between the causes aud consequences, but to
declare in regard to the crimes. He charged
them that their first duty was, to inquire if
the crime of bribery has been committed in
connection with the jury that tried VIM.
Berner; then to inquire if the crime of riot
had been committed and by whom; further,
by whose hand the court house was fired, and
lastly, if life had been unlawfully taken. He
explained with great force and clearness the
law of bribery, riot, arson, and of killing in
furtherance of an unlawful act. He also
made clear the duty of the sheriff in protect
ing prisoners from rescue or unlawful execu-
ton. He impressed upon the jury the i'm
portance of thorough and patient investi-
CATION of the whole subject, saying, they
would have the assistance and advice of the
prosecuting attorney and could also have any
witnesses summoned that they might want
The entire bench of common pleas was

The jury, as stated when impaneled, is COM
posed of the foremost citizens, intelligent
respons sible men. The result Of their work
will be awaited with great interest, but they
are charged to the strictest secrecy, and not
even permitted to tell what witnesses appear
before them.

Back Pay and Bounty.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE treasury de-
partment has issued the following circular in
regard to claims for back pay and bounty:
''The steady increase in the number of
claims for back pay and bounty, and the
consequent delay in their settlement, has
produced a great pressure to have such
claims made especial" A compliance with
the numerous requests made for claims to be
settled out of the order of their reception,
would work great injustice to a large and
worthy class of claimants, who have not in
fiuence themselves, and no infu-
entail friends to solicit favors
in their behalf. 1t is believed
that proper regard tor the rights of all par
ties requires their claims of the character
mentioned be examined and disposed of in
the order of their filing in this office, excep-
tions being made only when the party inter
ested is in INDECENT circumstances and is ac-
tually suffering for pecuniary aid, or when
some other equally good and sufficient rea-
son shall exist for the exception. The facts
justifying the exception being certified upon
from the personal knowledge of RESPONSE
BILE party, or established by proof. 1t is Or
dered accordingly.

AN INSURANCE CASE.
There Must be Intentional Deception
to Make the Contract
Void

WASHINGTON, April 14.-The supreme
court of United States to-day rendered de-
cision in the insurance case of Emile Maular.
plaintiff in error, against the American Life
Insurance company, in error, to the circuit
court of the United States of the eastern
district of Pennsylvania. This was a suit
upon policy of insurance, which contained
as part of the contract the stipulation that eff
the representations and answers made to the
company in the application for the policy
should be found untrue in any respect, the
policy should be null and
void" When the insurance was
obtained the assured was asked, among
other questions, whether he had ever had
asthma, scrofula or consumption. His
answer was, no. In the trial of the case in
the court below there was evidence to show
that deceased had these diseases in an incipi-
ent form, prior to his application for insur-
ance, but there was also evidence going to
show he was entirely unaware of it, The
court instructed the jury it made no differ
ence whether the assured was aware of it or
not, If, as matter OF fact, he had had these
diseases. His answers to the company, all
though made honestly, and in good faith,
were none the less untrue, and the company
was not bound by the policy. This ruling
is here assigned for the error This court
holds:
First-That what the company required of
the assured, and what the latter agreed to as
a condition in the precedent, was that he
should make full and honest answers to all
the questions without evasion, fraud or con-
cealment.
Second-That the fact he had had certain
diseases and said he had not had them did
not necessarily inValidate the policy when
there was evidence to show the diseases were
so latent that the assured was not conscious
of them.
Third-Tbat it was an erroneous con-
struction of the contract, to hold as the
court below did, that the company was re-
heved from liability, if it appeared that the
assured had been, in fact, affected with the
diseases mentioned. The jury should be in
structed that the plaintiff was not precluded
from recovering on the policy, unless it ap-
peared that he knew, or had reason to be-
lieve at the time of his application, that he
was or had been so affected.
The judgment of court below is, therefore,
reversed, with directions to set aside the YER

MINE EXPLOSION.
By Which Two Men Are Instantly
Killed and Others Wounded.


Killed and Others Wounded.
ELIZABETH, Pa, April 14.-Shortly after 5
o'clock this morning an explosion of fire
damp occurred in the mine of John A. Ward
IL Sons, near here, killing two men instantly,
and injuring several others. The dead bod
les of James Painter and James Steveson,
have Just been brought out of the mine hor-
ribIy burned and blackened. They went to
work at o'clock, and had just reached the
point where they work when the explosion
occurred the fire damp igniting from their
lamps. At first it was thought that many
others were in that part ofthe mine, and had
perished, but it is now certain they
were the only ones killed. VIM. Kent
was 500 yards from the explosion and was
severely injured by being violently thrown
down. Workman Simmons, who was half
mile away, was struck on the head by a
flying pick, and sustained severe injuries
and number of others crushed and cut by
flying debris. Willing workers have been
at the scene all morning, but their labors
have been interfered with by the foul gases
and they have only succeeded at - o'clock
in reaching the bodies. Both victims were
young men of families. The bodies are
lying in the mines. They are supposed to
have had the trap door open, which allowed
the fatal gas to escape, fortunately the ex-
plosion occurred when but few men had
gone to work, else the loss of life would
have been great
