New Hampshire Insurance Law.

To the Editor Of the Press:
Your correspondent G. C. II. in your issue
of I'd inst appears to think that the term
ubiquitous" as applied to the law referred
to, should apply to the insurance companies,
because they are unwilling to submit to the
fraud and rascality which such law is cal
culated to promote.
Insurance is designed to provide indemnity
for those who wish to be protected against
loss, and not for purposes of speculation, and
the policies of nearly, if not all, companies
stipulate that they will pay the loss or dam
age, at the cash value of the property-at the
time Of the ,fre-and not the amount of the
insurance, or because premium is paid for
such an amount, if the ralue is not there.
Insurance companies are made up of stock
holders many of whom are widows and
orphans whose money is put into them as an
Investment, and it is the duty of the man
ayers to see to it that their money is not paid
away at HAP hazard" or wrongfully, in the
payment of dishonest or unjust claims for
loss.
This law opens the door for all persons so
disposed and can get their property insured
to commit frauds and arson if they cannot
dispose of it in any other way; it is therefore
ubiquitous" because it eompels the COM

A VETERAN GONE.
Death of the Last Surviving Officer of
the War of 1912 in New York.

New YORK, Sept 5.;..M,aor Aaron Stafford the
last surviving officer of the war of 1912, died at
his residence in WaterviIe, Oneida Co, N. Y, to-
DAY in the 99th year of his age, having retained
his mental faculties to the last He was born in
Cheshire, Mass, March 18th, 1877. He was
ensign at Sackett's Harbor in 1872 and soon
after was appointed adjutant of the 10th regi-
ment detached militia, and as such went to the
Niagara frontier. He was soon after sent with
his his company to Buffalo to convey provisions to
the army and executed his difficult commission
with so much skill and dispatch as to win the
applause OF his superior officers. This brought
him to the notice of Gen. Scott and he was by that
officer given command of a detachment left to
cross after the main body of the army had crossed
the river to the attack on Queenstown Heights
Stafford successfully performed the duties in
trusted to his charge and landed his men without
loss, but ON ascending the heights heI was at
tackled BY superior body of British and Indians
The resistance of the Americans was heroic but
tney were soon oVerpowered by the superior num-
bers OF the enemy and nearly all were killed or
wounded. Stafford received severe wounds and
was taken a prisoner but was soon after ex-
changed and promoted to Major but did not re
cover sufficiently to take the field until the war
was concluded He was a Democrat and tcok an
active part in the councils of his party Stafford
never missed presidential vote having voted first
for Madison and last for Cleveland.

THE HANOVERiAN.
Further Accounts of the Loss of the
Allan Line Steamer.

ST. JOHNS, N F.,'Sept. 5.--This morning steamer
Hercules arrived with the balance of the passen-
gers and crew of the steamer Hanoverian An in
terview with Professor Bell of Washington Mr
Starr OF Halifax and other prominent passengers,
disclosed the following additional particulars.
The cause Of the loss of the ship is attributable to
miscaculation of the ships running of the previ-
Gus day. No sights were obtainable, and she was
sailing on dead reckoning. The days run was first
published on the tablet in the usual place as 272
miles, but afterward altered to 282. The discrep-
ancy is the exact difference between safety and
destruction of the ship. The first figures were
absolutely correct as was shown by the position
of the steamer. The passengers complain strong
ly that the officers and crew, instead of endeavoT-
ing to save the luggage, were engaged in securing
mirrors, plate, glassware, flower pots and general
cabin furniture. They express great sympathy
with Captain Thompson, and are universally Of
opinion that he did his duty They accord great
praise to five naval officers, passengers, who
largely supplemented the defective discipline of
the ship. The passengers are loud in prOclaiming
the hospitality Of the fishermen of Portugal Cove
who gave their houses entirely to the castaways
All the passengers and crew are comfortably
lodged at st. Johns, where they will embark by
the Polynesian, leaving Montreal to-day and duo
here on Tuesday.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Liquor Sellers on Togus Grounds are
AmenabIe to the State Laws.

BATH, Sept 5.-In the District Court of
the United States, held by Judge Webb,
John r. Carson of Chelsea pleaded nolo con-
tendere to an indictment charging him with
single sale of intoxicating liquor on land of
the National Soldiers Home at Togus.
Judge Webb, sustaining Commissioner
Choate's decision that the Maine liquor law
reaches the Togus Home Grounds, sentenced
him to thirty days Imprisonment in jail at
Augusta. This was one of the cases brought
before United States Commissioner Winfield
5. Choate of Augusta to test the question of
jurisdiction over the Home lands. The deci-
sion OF the Commissioner is sustained by this
sentence and viOlators of the Maine prohibi-
tory law who carry on their business on the
grounds of the U. S. Home at Togus, will be
held to answer in the courts of the United
States. Geo. Carson pleaded the cause to
similar charge, and sentence was suspended
as he was sentenced in another case.

authorities have been ordered to act vigor-

country. Two hundred and fifty persons
have been arrested in Madrid but the ma

government Spain's regret at the insult offer

and has promised ON behalf of his govern
ment that the leaders of the mob will be
punished, and that Spain will do her utmost
to prevent a repetition of the insult. This
statement is regarded as terminating the in

from Paris to the effect that Spain has sent
an ultimatum to Germany are not believed.
