Met Him in a Sewer.

About one o'clock yesterday afternoon a
drunken man sat down on the creek bank
Just east of the north end of the Market
street bridge. Pretty soon the earth be-
gan to give way beneath him and he grad
ually slipped to the waters edge when he
fell into the puddle of dirty water which
comes from the large sewer at that point.
After blowing and splashmg around for 4
while he crawled up into the mouth of the
sewer, where he would undoubtedly have
Laid down and slept had not a policeman
come along and by desperate efforts res
.eued the unfortunate individual from a
sewer-gasSY death. fWhenthe officer found
the man he~was so far gone that he was
singing 'In meet you in the sewer in the
evening" or words 70 that effect.

books have been removed from the State,
out of reach of the Sheriff, and the ac-

A Mixed Fight.

On Tuesday eveningan East End baby
got mixed up in a dogfgt that nearly cost
it its life. Two buH dogs got into a dis
cussion as to the relative merits of their
teeth, in front Of Hess meat shop, on the
above evening" and while they were chew
ing each other up in the most approved
style, a little girl carrying a very small
baby came along and stopped to take in the
fight. Suddenly the dogs made a change
Of base and ran into the girl, knocking her
down and causing her to drop the baby
right among the dogs Then for n moment
dogs, baby and little girl were a writhing
mass, sometimes the dogs on top, some
times the baby on top, and at other times
the little girl on top. The dogs were sur
prised and began to bite right and left,
but before either of the children were hurt
q young man rescued them, not bruised
but frightened.

THE INSURANCE HELD GOOD.
An Accident Policy Not VOided by the
Suicide of the Holder.

An Accident Policy Not VOided by the
suicide of the Holder.
CHICAGO, March 26.-United States
Judge Dyer, of Wisconsin, to-day deeid-
ed the case of Loretta NJ. Crandal against
the Accident Insurance Company of
North America, which was heard by him
several weeks ago. This was a suit to
recover a $4,000 accident policy on the
life OF the plaintiffs husband, Edward M.
Crandal, who committed suicide ia
June, 1884, by hanging himself. He
had insured his liie for $4,000 in
the May previous against injuries
effected by external, accidental or
violent means,' but the policy was not
to apply if death was caused wholly or in
part by bodily infrmities or disease of the
insured, and suicide was also expressly
excepted. The case was tried before a
jury, which returned a special verdict
finding that Crandal was insured, that he
committed suicide, and that he was in.
sane when he hanged himself. The main
question, however. was one Of law, as to
whether on such facts the company was
liable. The Judge rendered an opinion,
holding that the company was liable.
Two questions were discussed by the
Judge in his decision, which is regarded
as very important one. The fret was
whether the fact that the insured was in
sane when he committed suicide may have
rendered it a death caused by bodily in
juries effected through accidental means,
aud taken the case out OF the special ex-
ceptIOn in the policy, and, second, whether
the death WAS due wholly or in part to
"bOdily infirmities," so as to exempt the
company. AS to the question of In-
sanity, it was clearly proved. In
such case the act Of suicide was
no more the mans act in the
sense Of the law than if he had been i'm
PEELED by an irresistible physical power.
When the insured, then, took his own life,
it was not his voluntary, rational act.
The physical violence, therefore, which
terminated his life was the same as If il
had come upon him from sources outside
of himself, and for which he was not re-
spousibe. II must be held, therefore,
that CrandaPs death resulted from "bOd-
lily injuries effected through external, &C
cidental and viOlent' means within the
meaning of the policy In suit.
Concerning the second question il was
cOntended that insanity was a disease,
that the death was caused by the disease,
and hence the company was not liable.
That was the law in cases where the in
surance was general, not special, or life
policies, but did not apply TO accident
policies. Although it might be said that
Crandal would not have committed sui
eide if he had not been insane and 30 that
insanity was promoting cause of death,
yet, on the strength of numerous authori-
ties on similar cases. it must be held that
the act Of self-destructiOn must be re-
garded within the meaning of the policy
as the true aud prOximate cause of death,
and that his widow was entitled to re-
cover the amount Of the policy with in
terpaf

PITTsBURG, March 28.-In conversation
about the Meyers-Bauer baby case, which
on Wednesday resulted in the conviction
OF Mrs. Meyers for perjury, Agent
OBrien, of the Humane Society, Saturday
said:
Il know of one woman out Penn avenue who
makes business Of going to the pOer farms
ana oSher Institutions and securing babies.
The law Will not allow one person to have
more than two OF these babies at once, SO
they get their quota and proceed to rear them
IN the way they should go. The child insur-
ance man Is hunted up and an insurance that
would yield about so in case of death and call
Tor premium OF about FIVE cents a week is
taken out upon the ch1ld7s life / have given
tns matter very careful attention and find
that none of these children taken away
from the poor farm ever live more than about
hVe months. 1t Is very remarkable thing
No doctor is called until after the child is
dead. The doctor knows nothing of the
child's Illness and after looking at the eorpse
and hearing the statements of IT'S adopted
mother IN regard to the symptoms gives her a
certificate to the eject that the child died
from spasms (natural causes). With this Ger
tifcate in hand the broken he arted foster
mother hastens at once TO the insurance office
to get her $40. No sooner is that safely de-
posted In her oxchequeF than she rs again seen
at the poor farm, begging for another child.
IL l5 aAtnosb Impossible 70 ODtaln evidence to
convict in a case like this. II l were to at
tempt prosecution without the most positive
proof of guilt, or reasonably we'll founded
grounds for the same, would be heidTtO an
swer both civiily and criminally. | have
tried very hard to get some evidence on two
sor three women that have been watching,
but without very good results. do not mean
TO say that the poor farm authorities are in
any way responsible for giving out these chit
dren. Many poor. unfortunate girls in shame
ana poverty go there and, being unable to
support child, give it away to the first
woman that comes after a baby, and this the
farm management cannot stop.
subsequently these statements were
cOrrobOrated by Alderman ShafFer, of the
South Side, who said it was his impress
sion that a number Of such cases had &C.
CURED on that side Of the river. One wO-
man particularly is frequently men,
toned in this connection, several infants

LAND1oRD1sM AT HOME.
How the schenley Estate In Pittsburg is
Managed.

PTTTsBURG, March 2S.-Under the cap
tion, "Landlordism at Home," this weeks
Labor Tribune says: 1.-The Schenley estate
Is similar in essential respects to the
large estates in Ireland, and the effect of
it is very much like the effect Of the land
lOrdism which exists and is 80 objection
able there. This estate covers probably
1000 acres within the city limits of Pitts
burg and Allegheny. The land was
granted to Col. CrOghan, an army officer,
for military services against the Indians
of the Northwest. His daughter and
heiress elOped while a mere child from a
Long Island b0arding-schoOi with Capt.
Sehenley, 3 British officer and relative of
the principal of the school. Tue Captain
is now dead, but his family lives in Eng
land and the heirs to the estate are all
subjects Of the British Queen. The
system OF management OF the estate
has always been to lease va
cant ground and let the tenants make
the improvements and pay all taxes and
assessments for paving, sewerage, etc.
The leases usually have called for read
Justment of rent at stated intervals. By
this means the estate has been enabled 10
charge tenants an increase for every addi-
tiOn to the value their enterprise may
have put on the land. The estate has
d0ne noGnlng 10 increase the Vakue Ot this
immense holding. 1t has remained con-
tent to collect an immense annual rental
from the thousands of citizens whose en-
terprise has brought the Schenley acres
up from a wilderness to q value of $4,000
to probably 100000 an acre, from, say, 81
an acre to an average OF 10000 times that
small figure, and while this has been 60
ing on the holders of the estate have with
marked regularity, at least during the
last 30 years, taken from this city to spend
in Europe an average of 100000 yearly as
rental paid by industry and enterprise
and thrift 10 idleness aud luxury. Not
satisfied with the immense rental now
collected, the Sehenley heirs demand an
increase of % per cent. from the 150 ten
ants in the First ward, and naturally
they protest. Old Fort DuQuesne was
built upon thesite of this estate. A block
house still remains"
