tee Of Directors of the Equita.
BILE Life Assurance Society Of the
United States, appointed to tor.
mulate the views of the Board on
the advantages offered by the
Society to the public, report:
lst. The Society issues all the
approved forms OF assurance, in.
cluding Ordinary Life, EndOw.
ment, and TOntine policies. 1t
Is immaterial to the Directors
which form Of policy is taken by
intending assurers.
I'd. The Lite and Endowment
forms Of policy provide for an
nual cash dividends and a sur.
render value; are indisputable
after three years, and payable
Immediately after proofOf death.
I'd. The premiums on a Ton.
tine policy are the same as on
the Ordinary Life, but, while the
latter is only payable in the
event of death, the holder of the
TOntine policy has the right to
draw the whole of the reserve
and the accumulated profits in
cash at the end of a stated period:
thus, during his own life time,
after his producing years are
past, he can without any larger
premium than on an ordinary
policy, secure these GREATER
advantages.
4th. Experience shows that
the return paid in cash on ma
turing TOntine policies approx.
mates to, or exceeds the amount
OF premiums paid by policy
holders, SO that the average cost
Of the assurance will be oily
about the interest on the pre-
miums.
9TH. Tontine policies, like others,
are paid in full In the event OF death
at any time during the term of the
policy, and are inc0ntestable after three
years, and payable Immediately after
the proof Of death.
9Th. Experience shows hat the NOR.
tality Is lower among TOntine policy.

Kind OF assurance, which Is a consider

DON PEDRO PRESTAN HANGED.
The Author of tho Fire at Coio"
Promptly Punished for
his Crime.

PANAMA, Aug. 25.-The notorious
Don Prestan was hanged at midday on
the 18th inst. in A%spinwall, i'll accord
ance with the sentence passed upon him
by the court martial which met on the
18th to try him. The sentence was
signed at 1880 of the evening of the
18th, and, as was to be expected, was
approved. The evidence taken by the
court showed that Prestan was the au-
thor of the fire in Colon. Prestan
strongly denied all the charges laid
against him, and named persons who
could testify as to his innocence. The
chairman of the court martial ordered
the witnesses named to be brought into
court. After the lapse of an hour the
court was informed that none OF the
persons named by Prestan was to be
found, all having left Colon after the
fire. The court, after hearing the pris-
oners's defense, ordered the to be
cleared, and then deliberated as to what
sentence they should pronounce. Al
the votes but one were for hanging OF
Prestan.
AS soon as the death warrant had
been signed the prisoner was called in
and told of his sentence. Not once did
he show the slightest fear, but listened
to the reading of his sentence with the
greatest composure, staring at his
Judges all the while. Up to his last
moment he had a priest by his side, and
he died a Christian according to the
rites of the Roman Catholic church.
When on the scaffold he spoke a few
words, calling upon the Colombians to
believe him innocent of such an afro
cious crime, but the only voice was
of approval when the car was removed
from under his feet, and his body was
left to swing on the gallows. Prestan
was hanged at 12:12 p. m.

FORAKER
From the n. Y. Sum-.

From the n. L. oun.
There is probably no law in the
state of Ohio by which j. B. Foraker,
republican candidate for governor,
can be compelled to desist from max
ing statements like this:
81 might, if it were necessary, cite
unquestiOned statistics to show that for
the purpose of making a solid south in
the interest of the democratic party
more men have been killed and wound
ed in the last ten years throughout the
seeding states than were killed and
wounded at Gettysburg. But have no
desire whatever to array such matters
when it is not necessary for my pur-
pose to do So"
According to Gen. NIeade's official
report of Oct. l, 1868, the number OF
at the battle of Gettysburg was 16,543.
In Gen. Lees report of July 81, 1868.
the confederate casualties are not stat
ed. They have never been exactly as.
certained. The generally accepted es'
timate is %, 600. Altogether, between
5000 and 30 200 men were killed and
wounded at Gettysburg.
The clumsy Ohio politician who i:

John Sherman's bloody-shirt banner

W whatever to keep alive any sectiona

THE HIGGINSVlLLE REUNION.
From the St. 10 Gazette, Sept. g..

i'"h '"S
Some friend has sent to the Gazette Il
marked copy of the Lexington lntelli-
yencer containing an account of the re-
union of Shelbys brigade at Higgins
vile. 1t is the most complete report of
the proceedings that has been published
in any newspaper, and reflects much
credit upon the enterprising publishers
of that excellent weekly. The writer
took pains to find out how many were
actually present and put the question: to
dozens OF persons competent to judge of
such matters, and believes there were
about Il 900 there, among whom were
about 1,400 or 500 old soldiers of the
federal or confederate armies; perhaps
there were l,20O cOniederates and 300
federals. The crowd was orderly and
we'll behaved in every respect as any
crowd OF its size that eve assemtaed in
the state. While there was no lack of
intoXicanls. there were very few who
showed any signs of drunkenness.
Those that left Lexington on the special
train filled six coaches till there was
only standing room, and the regular
morning train was also crowded. Small
delegations came over from he north
side of the river, when large ones were
expected, but Lexington tnrned out in
such numbers as to make up for that
deficiency. After forming the soldiers
into various commands and transacling
some few military duties they broke
ranks and sought the speakers stand.
The Sixth Missouri Infantry, G.. 5. A.,
was marched to the front of the stand,
where the survivors We're presented
with their war worn battle-flag, one
which they had followed through al
most the whole war. Maj. E. A. Hick-
man, Of Independence, made the pre-
sentatiOn speech, which was received
with demonstrations of delight by the
union as well as confederate soldiers.
The major concluded by reading the let
tcrof Josephine Clay, and presented the
flag. II was received by Jas. Il. Payne,
editor of the Independence Sentinel. in
n short speech which was cheered to the
echo. Everybody was in the best OF hui
NOR and nd-shaking was SO commo
that people frequently shook hands with
persons they had never seen before.
Mr.. A. j. Hall, one of Morgan's
J men, spoke half an hour. Col. Jake II.
Child, of the Richmond Conservation.
was introduced as the "poct editor OF
Missouri" and read Il poem, written by
a confederate soldier. Speeches were

KILLED AND x UP.

TOPEKA, KAs., Sept. 5.-Frederick
Brown has been missing since Satur-
day night last. lie was a cattle buyer
and had drawn from the bank $4,000
for the purchase of cattle. There was
Il suspicion that he might have volun-
tarily disappeared, but yesterday his
handbag was found in The woods in
the rear of tine Valley house, a place
with rather a hard name. This house
was set on fire Tuesday morning, when
inquiry had been made in regard to
Brown. Four beds were OIL fire in diff
ferent parts of the house when the fire
department arrived. Since the finding
of Browns ritled g%rip.sack, the belief
has grown strong that he was killed i'll
the house, and the effort to burn it was
to destroy the body, On the day OF
| the fire three boxes were taken from
the house by some unknown person
and shipped by rail west. These will
be traced and examined to see whether
the body of the missing man is in one
of them.
