Interesting Life Insurance Case.
from the Waco CTexas) Day.


Bennington, wife and children were drowned
BY the overflow OF Waco creek during the May
freshets. Bennington was q plumber in the
employ OF CA. Schroeder, on Austin street. Mrs.
Bennington had q son by q previous marriage,
who lives in Waco now. Messrs. Stephenson,
Ttbbs and Stiner, ct the request OF Capt ]. ID.
Bell and Others, buried Bennington and his
family: Mr.. Schroeder mad the burial notices
printed. Deminghofs life was insured for the
benent Of his wife. Mr.. Steiner filed applica-
ton for letters Of administration on the estate
Of Bennington as the principal creditor of the
deceased. Mr.. Schroeder contested his applica-
ton, and asked that letters be given him.
Judge Evans granted Steinre's application.
Now here comes the point: Il IL presumed In
law, and has been 30 decided, that when q man
ana his wife and children are drowned at the
same time, the weakest persisted FIRST, conse.
quently Mrs Demingho6 and her children by
Bennington died frst In law, and her surviv-
ing son by previous marriage cannot inherit
the life insurance Of Deminghoff, for he could
only claim through his mother, and as she
died before Deminghoff, she took nothing by
Inheritance. Unless some blood kin of Deming
hof turns up from Germany the balance 0!
the insurance money after paying OF the burial
expenses, viii escheat to the state.

not recsived one cent Of pay for any holiday,
national or otherwise. that has taken place
during the last two years, and We have been
told land expect nothing else) that we will have

Now, cir, II this was the rule throughout al

have no right TO complain, but IL IL not; We art
and always have been the only exception. We
receive nom e1.25 to % per day. We so &c

Now, SIR, am not finding fault, I simply
wish TO draw comparison between the Other
