what the "Church Union, says.

President Brewer and officers Of the
Washington Life may pride themselves on
the success which has attended their COM
pany during the twenty-five years OF its ex
istence. Judicious management, carefully
invested funds, which have turned, as 1t
were, into gold. From the official report of
January last we find the company to be
possessed of assets Of the best character,
amounting to $7,3O4909.S4, with liabilities
to policy-holders Of $6,474, al 81, leaving a
surplus as regards policy-holders of $780,
76S.23. The income Of the Washington last
year, from all sources, was $1,775, 1888. 20.
The company paid out for losses and ma
tured endowments during the same
period, 1886. S65.00. Cash paid to an
nuitants, $3,110.23. The company also
paid for surrendered policies, etc, S3l3,-
1886, with cash dividend to policy
holders of 1894 1863, and return premiums,
Sl,33s. IL, making total payment to policy
holders of 81, 149,6 4O.S0 The company has
greatly increased its business this year so
far, so that at the next annual report the as
sets will not fall short of ten millions, thus
showing that the Washington Life was cor
rectly named, If we may Judge from the
financial success which seems to follow
For twenty-five years this life company has
been before the public, and 1t has never
failed in the faithful performance of what
life of the policy-holder. The Washington
furnishes life insurance at price but
little more than the actual net cost of
the insurance. The Washington has a
good paying and increasing business on its
books, 1t is managed with strict economy
and consumnate skill and vigor, it has first
class position In the life insurance world,
and that position will be continually in
creasing to still more prominent one.

LIVING IN CHiCKEN Coop.
Terrible state of Destitution Found
by Police OniCcr8.

a Terrible state of DcstituiiOn EJdnl
by Police Officers.
A terrible state Of dcpravity and destitu-
ton was revealed in the Police Court this
morning. Jane O'Day, Il middle-agel
white woman, stood in the prisoners dock
with her neglected two-ycarold infant in
her arms and traces Of recent debauch on
her face. On the opposite side Of the court
room her l2year.ol son, Paddy, lay on two
chairs, drunk. The mother was changed
with being a common drunkard, and the
son with incorrieibility.
The O'Day family was taken into custody
by Policemen Bast and Redden last night In a
chicken coop in the rear OF No 1907 II street
northeast, where they have lived for some
time. The officers state that their place of
abode is n picture of squalOr and filth,
and the mother and her boy are nearly al
ways drunk. When the mother gets drunk
she whips Paddy until the neighbour turn
out and save the boy out Of humanity.
There is no carpet on the floor Of
the hut and the furniture consists Of an
old dirty mattress and some boxes and a
little stove. The policemen say they can
not realize how a human being, cspecl-
ally an infant, could live in such place.
Mrs. O'Day and her son were both drunk
when arrested and pint bottle of whisky
was found In the pocket OF the Juvenile
drunkard. lilo denied that he drank tho
whisky out Of the bottle, but said he drank
It in his coffee TO keep warm. The mother
took the stand and make drunken speech,
declaring her love for her children, and
especially her "darling Paddy" who was
too drunk to understand what she was say
ing.
Judge Smell said II was ptiablc exhibit
ton Of poverty and wretchedness, but 1t
was all the result Of rum. The mother was
sent to the workhouse for three months, the
son to the Reform School during minority,
and the infant was sent TO st. AIMS Iufant

SOUTH WASHINGTON.

A petition from the property In
the vicinity of Virginia avenue and South
Capitol streets southwest will in few DAYS
be handed the Superintendent of the Fire
Alarm Service urging the immediate placing
of fro alarm signal box on that corner.
During the past year extensive improve
ments have been made in that neighbor-
hood. The Baltimore & Potomac Railroad
Company have established their general
freight depot there and a number of the
larger uptown business houses have erect
cd warehouses in the vicinity. A confa-
grafton at these places is likely TO occur at
most any time by sparks from passing loco
motives, and as the nearest signal box is
fully half mile of, fire could gain con
siderable Roadway before the Department
could be summoned.

Baltimore Il Potomac Railroad Company,

property on the south side of MARYLAND
avenue, between Twelfth and Thirteenth

shifting of freight cars between those
squares, was called for trial in the Circuit
Court yesterday, Messrs. Hine and Maddox
appeared for the plaintiff, and Enoch Tot
ton for the defendant. Much interest is
taken in this trial by other property owners
along the line of route of the railroad com
pany in South Washington, many Of whom
have filed similar suits against the com
pany
When the workmen employed on the con-
struction Of the new freight house of Bar
bour q Hamilton on Virginia avenue, near
FOur-and-a-half street southwest reported
for work this morning, 1t was discovered
that during the night thieves had gained an
entrance to the store-room adjoining, and
had stolen the tools belonging TO the car
penters and bricklayers. The police are on
the lookout for the thieves.
Canal street, between Second and Third
streets southwest, is being graded and other
wise improved by the planting Of maple
sapllngs and the laying Of sidewalk. The
Improvements made In this neighborhood
during the past year has changed the APP
pearance Of the place almost beyond recog-
milton.

OSCEOLA.
W n IL Being Done by h Gold
Miners There.

From a party just in from Osceola, some
20 miles east OF Taylor, the SENTINEL
learns that active work ia being done there
by the gravel mining company, and also
in several Of the gold quartz mines. The
camp has a population Of upwards of 800
people, and aside from Taylor it is the live
lest settlement in those parts. The gold
quartz mill runs about two weeks out oil
every six or eight, or whenever sufficient
ore collects to keep it employed for q time
sufficient to justify its starting up. The
gravel mining company have all their ap-
pliances working satisfactorily, and ID ia
believed by many that the results OF the
same at the next cleanup will far exceed
the expectations Of the most ~sanguine OF
the shareholders, and yet they are working
the gravel some Is feet and upwards from
bedrock. But one six.inch nozzle is now
employed on the banks, but inasmuch as
the water pressure il sufficiently great to
send boulders as large AS q mans body
into the air the work it accomplishes is
enough to keep 20 men busily employed.
The water now at the command Of the
company, some Of which is brought from
high mountain II miles distant, il more
than sufficient In quantity as we'll as press
ure Tor another nozzle of the same size,
and 1t Is very probable that such An addi-
ZION WILL be made at an early day.
