Several other persons were injured, among whom was Miss Lizzie Pheren, daughter of the man who was killed outright There were several women and children trampled and injured during the panic which resulted.

A NEW FEArURE.-The latest feature of the insurance business is the insur- ance of the lives of babies. There are agencies at Cleveland, Cincinnati, and other places in Ohio, where baby insur- ance is one of the branches of the busi- ness. The policies are taken chiefly by the keepers of baby boarding houses, in order to obtain money for the funeral expenses in case the children are left on their hands and die.

RAN OFF.-A we'll known journalist, who is correspondent of several news. papers in America, has eloped from London with the young wife of m English nobleman. The detectives have tracked the fugitives to Brussels, but the scent was lost in that city, and it is believed they have taken passage to the colonies. The lady is stated to be one of the most beautiful women in Europe, and the elopement is considered very incomprehensible by her relatives and friends. The journalist is old enough to be the father of the lady.

mon law. .30sE AstH .FF
The case Of Gilbert VS.. Gauger, i'm s
Blssell, PA, is one where the contract,
future delivery one, Is held not void
under the statute Of Illinois; but In that
case it appears that the defendant au-
thorized his broker to cancel the con-
tract and make settlement before the
time of delivery had arrived, and it was
held that the broker could recover for
advances made in making the settle
ment.
Logan VS.. Musick, 81 Ill. Ais, Craig,

is not illegal-a proposition generally

enforced by the courts delivery must
be contemplated.

Clark's Assignee vs.. Foss, Z Bissell,
$40, is another case where the contract
was enforced. In that case Dunn, j..
held that a secret understanding of one
party, not communicated. to the other
would not invalidate or make illegal the
contract. 1t also appears that in that
case large amount of the grain con-
tractsd for had been delivered and the
balance was ready for delivery. The
court clearly indicates that actual de-
livery must be contemplated, and finds
such to have been the contract. In re
Green, same report, 1888, Hopkins, j.,
held that when actual delivery is not
contemplated, the transaction is a gam
bling one, and that the broker stands
in no better condition than the princi-
pal, and that notes given for differences
are void for want of consideration.
Lehman Bros. vs.. Strassberger, 9
Woods. 554, is the strongest case that
can be cited in favor of sustaining such
contracts, but even in that case the
court does not find that actual delivery
was not contemplated by the parties.
In that case the factor advanced money
to third party who was acting in good
faith, and it was held that the factor
could collect a note given for the adj
vance so made.

How Some OF Our Representatives
Dress.

Your average congressman dresses
in black, sort of compromise between
an afternoon dress.suit and a business
suit being the most popular style of
body gear chosen by these the peoples
servants. Hiscock, of New York,
usually wears a black coat of the
"Prince Albert" cut, buttoned close
across in 'front.' black pants. shues
neatly polished, and a polka dottie,
with lose ends. which falls over the
lapels of his carefully brushed coat
withspleasing effect Hewett, of New
York, gives very little attention to
his dress. He usually wears black
suit, more Of a business than dress
style, the coat short sack, ana pants
somewhat uncertain, sometimes black,
sometimes gray. His coat is usually
open. or perhaps closed by one button,
and his hair rumpled. Randall wears
dress-coat, not Prince Albert, but
more the style that was fashionable
for afternoon dress few years ago,
cut lower in front than the Prince
Albert, and inclined to fall away at
the front unless kept buttoned-as it
never is in this case. He sports a
rundown collar and the plainest OF
black ties. black vest and pants, not a
particle of color anywhere, except in
his face, which aushes occasionally i'll
the heat of debate. His hat is a silk
one, and usually showing signs of a
good deal of wear. Mckinley, of
Ohio, seldom wears anything more
than business suit, at least, one that
by its cut has that appearance. His
favorite coat is black sack. Gov.
Robinson, of Massachusetts, who is
pointed out by everybody as 1.-The man
who beat Ben Butler" wears quiet
black suit, sometimes a sack, some.
times a long frock. Robertson. of
Kentucky, who succeeds Proctor
Knott, wears a snuff-colored business
suit, which stand out rather prominent

Holman, 1.-The ohjector,' generally
wears black frock coat, pretty long
as to skirt, and seldom buttoned in

condition if not awry. His general
appearance this session, since he has

Congressman Mackey first met his

She passed nearly five years at Ober-
lin diligently pursuing her studies
and corresponding with Mr.. Mackey
but never seeing him until the day
before she was to be graduated. Hel
vacations hao always been spent il
Philadelphia with her uncle, William
Preston, with whom her mother anc
younger sister resided.
In the spring of 1874, when she wa
to be graduated, Mr. Mackey came OF
from Charleston and took Miss Stump

to witness the commencement exer-
clses and to bring Miss Vickey home

lady and her mother came to this cit

x-Governor Buffers farewell gift
of Bible to Massachusetts reminds a
Washington Post writer of ;he time
when Mr. Bell, on becoming Governor
of Texas, began his inaugural address
with: "Fellow citlzens: In the chaste
and beautiful language of Job, Now
is the winter Of our discomfort made
glorious summer by this son of York. "
The result of this remarkable pro-
nunciamento was that the Governor
was presently overwhelmed with gifts
of Bibles. from every State and from
foreign lands; Bibles in English, Latin,
French, Russian and Hindoo; illus
trated, illuminated, polyglot, hero
glyphic; bound in paper, leather, vel.
vet; sent by mail, by express, by
freight, by special messenger. An
other result was that from Galveston
to Pan Handle almost every man wo-
man and child got Bible and a copy
of Shakespeare, and "read up until
Richard III l, and Job became the best
known and most talked about men in
the State.
