sUPPLESTENTARY GRIMES


PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 3.--H. L. Penny
packer, agent of the Fidelity Mutual
Aid Assurance association, of Philadel-
phia, and Augustus Richey, we'll
known and wealthy citizen OF Carlisle,
Pennsylvania, were arrested to-day, the
former at Harrisburg and the latter at
Carlisle, on a charge of conspiracy
to defr9ud the association.
They were placed under sI,OO0
bail to answer at court. 1t is alleged
That these men, with the cOnnivance
OF physician of Carlisle, who
certified to good health, procured
Insurance in the company for $1,000 on
young man named Whortley, who was in
bad health. Through the false statement
made him by Richey, Whortley was
induced to transfer his interest in the
policy to Richey, who has
since paid the assessment. Whortley
says he has been offered
large sum to 90 away and allow
Richey and Pennypacker to procure a
corpse, which would be represented as
that of Whortley, the conspirators being
able to obtain the amount OF insurance,
This Wortley refused to do, and fearing
bodily harm he notified the company of
the conspiracy and the arrests followed
as above. Although the scheming in
This case was Intellectual, 1t is said
Richey has been successful in previous
similar practices.

Newspapers of To-day.

People generally, and even those who
may be termed steady readers and close
observers, have but faint conception of
the magnitude and influence the press of
this country has attained. From a
careful examination of the advance
pages of the 1885 edition of the american
Neuspnper Directory, issued May list,
by Geo. P. Rowell & Co., of New York,
it appears that there are IA, 147 news
papers and periodicals published in
the United States and Canada; of these
the United States has 1878, an average
of one paper for every 1857 persons. In
1884 the total number Of newspapers was
less by 1923 than at present, and while the
gain this year is not so marked as in some
previous years, it is still considerable
Kansas shows the greatest increase, the
number being Is, while Illinois follows
with a gain of II. 1t is curious to notice
that New York. the scene Of so much
political activity during the last cam
paign, should have only about one-third
as many new papers as the state of Pen
nsylvania AS an index to the compare
tive growth and prosperity of different
sections of the country, especially the
Territories, the number OF new papers
forms an interesting study, and may we'll
occupy the attention of the curious.
