n Feurteen-Year-o Old Boy Gets Ashamed
of Drying Dishes and Takes Arsenic.
New YORK, November ga thorough
investigation was made by County Physi-
clan Converse yesterday in the case of the
foarteen-year-old boy, Christian Vetter, who
died from the effects Of poison at No. III
Linden avenue, Jersey City, on Wednesday
night. The boy was wilful and proud, and
having become sResse to the study OF music,
profession which his mother wished him to
followed, was finally apprentissd at q barber
shop on Essex street Jersey City. In the
course of his employment the boy was COM
pelled to assist the barber wife about the
house His pride was hurt, and he told his
mother he would not compromise his dignity
by drying dishes. Wednesday morning he
returned home at 10 o'elosk, and his moth
er insisted upon his going back to his work.
This seems to have determined the foolish
lad.
With twenty-five cents which his mother
had given him he purchased arsenic, and
about noon his mother discovered him in
the kitchen, with goblet in one hand and
package of white powder in the other.
The woman snatched the goblet and pow
der from his hand, hnt her son went smil-
iugly out Of the house. About o'clock
Young Vstters condition became alarming
and physician was called. When the doc
tor arrived the boy was dead The paper
which contained the powder was labelled
srsenio," but the name Of the druggist who
sold it does not appear. The bereayed moth

TOO MUCH MONEY ON HAND.
An Insurance Company Puzzled About the
Disposal Of Its surplus Fund.

An Insurance Company Puzzled About the
Disposal Of Its surplus Fund.
ATLANTA, Ga, November 29.-The set
Element of the ownership Of the surplus
fund OF the Mutual Insurance Company Of
Athens, Ga, which has Just been decided,
is one of great Importance to the entire in
surance interest of the United States.
When this company found itself over a
million dollars of surplus on hand which it
could not throw into channels Of trade be-
cause of want Of ownership, it had, so to
speak, financial elephant. In looking
for precedents upon which to act, Ed,
ward Atkinson, of Massachusetts,, was con-
suiled, aud he gave as his opiuion that
neither in Europe nor in the United States
hap such question ever been decided. At
this point Capt. Harry Jackson, son of the
distinguished Gen. Henry r. Jackson, and
J. H. Lumpkin, grandson of the late Chief;
Justice Lumpkin, two of the most brilliant
Young attorneys Of the State entered case
as representatives of the lspsed pohcy-hold
ers, claiming that they we're entitled to
share in a distribution proportioned to the
premiums paid. The Supreme Court ofthe
State sustained the pleas of Messrs. Jack
on and Lumpkin; and ordered distribu'
ion on that basis, leaving the Court below
o decide the amount which the company
might retain as a prudential fund. That
court has just decided that $4,000 may
5e so retained. The balance is to be dis
r;bu,ed uuder the Supreme Court decision.
