A HORRIBLE CHARGE.
CAiIdren Said to be Killed for Their
Insurance.

ChiIdren Said to be Killed for Their
Insurance.
The death Of the child of John Gore, Of
Millvale borough, Penn, has led to striking
developments. This child was found by
Humane Agent II. ]. Dolan locked up in
box almost dying. Dolan had the father
arrested ard he was fn:d SIS for his
inhuman treatment Of the child Although
given every care the child was too weak and
i'll to recover and it died. Sine then it has
been learned that its life was insured for
SIS in a company in Pittsburg and that in
clu1ing the payment Of the SIS and costs i'm
posed on the father, and the funeral ex-
penSes, the family is still ahead small
amount by the death Of the child. In an in
terview Humane Agent Dean said that this
was not the first case Of the kind that had
come under his observation; that it was a
common pra:tice among certain people to
insure the lives Of their children. There
are three or four companies in Pittsburg,
he continued, that make speciality Of
insuring the lives of infants and chill
dren. These companies employ agents
who visit the people of Pittsburg and Allie
gheny and offer to insure the lives Of their
children for a very small sum, to be paid on
the death of the child. Their plan is to get
the risks and then 60 around and collect two
or three cents weskly. Tempted by the in
ducement of securing what to them is large
sum Of money, these poor people neglect and
ill-treat their offspring. They practically
kill them to get the money.
A thorough investigation Of all the cases
will be made.

The estate of the Vanderbilt famil

The estate of the Vanderbilt family is
estimated at about 5000, 600, 900; that Of
the Astors at nearly as much, and that
of A. T. Stewart from $4,000, 900 to
$75,00O,O 900. Jay Gould's wealth is set
down in round numbers at 500, 900, 900
and Rockefeller's at S35, ,0Oo,o 900. The
property belonging to the estates of the
rich Californians-Hopkins, Mills, Flood,
Fair, Sharon, O'Brien, Mackay and Hunt
ington-will reach, it is thought, some
$3.50, ,000,00 more, making in all $685.
900, 900. Even this enormous sum is not
supposed to equal the combined wealth
of all the members of the Rothchilds.
The richest man in Great Britain is the
Duke of Westminster, whose income is
rated at guinea (twenty- one shillings)
a minute, or about $2,7OO,OO year,
derived almost entirely from real estate
in the midst of London. The late Will
lam II. Vanderbilt is said to have had
an income at least three times as large.
There are, however, more Englishmen
than Americans with incomes of 81, ,000,-
900 or thereabouts. England is prodigi.
ously wealthy (as we'll as extremely poor,
and her wenlth is the accumulation of
hundreds of years, and is growing now
at the rate of 100000, 900 annually,
the net profits of all her industrial and
commercial enterprises. At the present
rate of increase, she will have accumu-
lated in twenty-five years fifteen thou
sands of millions additional capital. No
wonder interest is low there, and that
her capitalists are constantly seeking in
vestments throughout civilization. The
accumulation of money, however, has
been even greater in this country, where
the rate of interest has diminished in ten
years far more than in any part of Eu-
rOpe.

Elections on the other side are far less
costly now than in the ante-reform days.
One memorable election in the West
Riding of Yorkshire cost Lord Fitzwil.
liam $3.50, 900, and the defeated rival
house of Wortley, Lord Wharncliffe,
500, 1000. Fox's famous election for
Westminster cost $4,000. The elec-
tions in Galway and Mayo, in the west
of Ireland, which lasted over weeks, cost
the contestants generally at least $50, :
900, and in nearly every instance their
estates, loaded with encumbrances thus
contracted, passed out of their families.
The voters, many of them broug ht from
mountain homes at long distances from
the seat of the election, had virtually to
fight their way in hordes to the polls.
The candidates, on their part, had usu-
ally to fight two or three duels as nec-
cessary accompaniment. On one occasion
the celebrated Colonel Martin, on being
asked who was likely to win certain
election, wrote back: "The survivor. "
The last of the Martin family, his daugh-
ter, died just after landing in 1850, at
the Union Place (prescnt Morton House,
Hotel. The liquor saloons, styled on
the other side public houses, instead of
being closed as here on election days,
were all kept open at the candidates ex-
pense. A Squire Fleming, who success
fully opposed Lord Palmerston for
Hampshire, in reply to long address of
that Minister, got up and said: 81 do
not know anything about the subjects on
which the noble lord has spoken. Ionly
know that have ordered all the public
houses in Hampshire to be opened, and
they will be kept open at my expense
until the close of the polls" The ballot
was the principal instrument in doing
away with those old lively electioneer-
ing times. The expenses are now limited
by law to $4,000 at the outside and in
many cases to less, and need not exceed
$3.50 or $500. The candidate is obi ged
to make returns of the exact amount ex-
pended. The expenditure of many of
the Irish N. P.s at the last election did
not exceed $3.50. Mr.. Labouchere's re-
turn at Northampton was only $3.50.

There are in the United States thirty
three counties whose agricultural pro-
ducts amount in value to over 81, 600, 600.
OF the thirty three the State of New
York furnishes fourteen, Pennsylvania
seven, Illinois six, California aud Massa-
chusetts two each and Michigan and Con-
necticut one each. Of these rich counties,
Lancaster, in Pennsylvania, leads all the
rest, her agricultural products, according
to the census of 1880, amounting to
SO, $780, ,2O2. 1t is important to know
what is raised in the rich counties. Ian
caster raises vast amounts of tobacco
twice as much as any other county in the
United States. The county also raises
vast quantities of corn, oats, wheat, and
about 40, 900 COWS make enormous quanti-
ties of milk, butter, and cheese.

EXTRADITION TREATY,
The Provisions of an Agreement
Signed with England.


The text of the Convention recently signed
in London by Minister Phelps and the Earl
of Rosebery, extending and adding to the
extradition provisions Of the Treaty of 1872,
has just been made public. The Convention
extends the provisions Of Article K, Of the
Treaty of 1842 to four crimes not therein
named, as follows: Manslaughter, burglary,
embezzlement or larceny involving the
amount Of $50 or e1O, and malicious in
jrries to property, whereby the life OF any
person shall be endangered II such injuries
constitute crime according to. the laws Of
both countries 1t is also provided that the
provisions of Article x. shall apply to per-
sons convicted of the crimes named in the
Treaty Of 1842 and the new Convention, as
well as to those charged before trial with
commission of them. The Convention is not
retroactive, no surrender is to be demanded
for q political offence and no trial IS per-
mitted for any other offence than the one
for which extradition IS requested until the
person extradited has had an opportunity to
return to the State by which he was sur
rendered
In letter to the Secretary Of State, Mr..
Phelps says it is understood between the two
Governments that the Convention shall not
stand in the way of more elaborate treaty,
if one is desired, but he expresses the opinion
that new treaty will not be necessary.
The Convention went before the Senate
Committee on the Judiciary, from which it
was referred to the Committee on Foreign
Affairs An early and favorable report to
the Senate was looked for, though it was
thought the Convention might not be rati-
fed at the present session Of Congress-

The Acting Commissioner of Agricul-
ture, in reply to a resolution of the
House making inquiries concerning
stocks of corn and wheat in this and
other countries, the demands of con-
sumption, and the prospects of produc-
ton throughout the world, has trans
mitted an exhaustive compilation of sta
tistics by the statistician of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. The tables show
that the worlds product of wheat in
1885 was e,11O, 1000, 600 bushels, the re-
quirements of consumption 2, 165, 900,
900 bushels, presenting deficiency OF
IS, 1000, 900 bushels, drawn from the pre-
vious years surplus of 1875, 900, 900 bush
els. They find the product of Europe q
medium, those of India and Australia
large, and a heavy reduction in the
United States. For the supply of the
coming year, the crops of Australia,
India and South America already har-
vested are probably about $4,000, 900
bushels less than those of last year, while
those of the Tinted States promise fully
100000, 900 bushels more than the harvest
of 1885. The wheat in the United States
on May /, last, wss 1o4, 4,OoO,o 900 bushels,
