His Life Insured for $500, goo.


BIG INSURANCE sENsATIoN-A WASHINGTON COMPANY
INTERESTED.
Under the false name of "a. Allen" there died at
hotel in South NOrwalk, Conn.,, last November
man who had taken out insurance policies to the
amount, so far as known, Of $4,000 He died
from an overdose of morphine The policies had
all been written within fourteen months of the
mans death. OF the $500 600 insurance on his life
only S71 600 was for the benefit of his relatives.
The remainder is in the names OF apparently only
casual friends and business acquaintance.
"Allen,' whose right name was John Tylor, or
spent a fortune. When found dead in the hotel
he had but a few dollars in his pocket, but with
hundreds OF thousands dependent upon his death.
He has young and pretty wife and
three brothers in Boston who profess to know
little or nothing OF the other benefc1arfes:
An Official OF one OF the insurance companies said
yesterday: "Not cent of that money will ever
be paid" tits not known that there has been any
concerted action taken as yet, but the CON-
pan1es have instituted a. rigid investigation. One
OF the companies alluded to, according to the
statement of its superintendent Of agencies
and the counsel OF the company, propose TO de-
yelop story almost unparalleled in human
history.
The Washington Beneficial Endowment associa-
ton, OF this city, has policy of S. 900 en- Tylers
life. curious feature OF the matter is that Mr..
Henry G. Hubbard, president OF the Columbian
National bank OF New York, who is no relative OF
the dead man. Is named in the policies On Tyler's
life as beneficiary to the extent OF $52 900. The
matter will, undoubtedly, come up In the courts,
expected to be developed. 1t Is said persons who
are the beneflc1ar1eS named In policies On TylerS
life often heard him declare his intention to COM
init suicide, and that one OF them taught him the
use or various poisonS.
A suit has been begun In the supreme court in
Brooklyn. by Mrs. Zillah Misell and Frederick H.
Smith, to recover from the Travellers Insurance
company OF Hartford, Conn.,, $4,000 upon Two
policies Tor Reinsurance issued to Tyler.

A MeO1Cal view OF eSens LOgan7S Death
The following editorial with reference to the
death of Gen. John A. Logan, by Dr. George F.
ShradY, editor Of the Medical Record, will appear
in the issue Of that journal tomorrow: ''The
case OF the late Gen. Logan appears to be
one of those rare ones in which acute rheumatism
causes rapid and fatal ISSUE On December 18th
DR.. j. a. Baxter, OF Washington, d. c., was called
to see him, and found him suffering from acute
rheumatism, involving the right wrist. He i'm
hips, ankles, feet and both wrists becom,
Ing involved. Brain symptoms also appeared
at this time. Though there was some tenn
porary improvement on the 21st and 22d,
the symptoms, ON the whole, became grad
uaily more severe, the intervals OF fun
consciousness shorter, until early on the
morning OF December Doth, when he became
comatose. He died twelve hours later. The cere-
bral symptoms were those OF congestion OF the
brain. Acute rheumatism is SO rarely cause OF
death that some complications are expected and
almost always found In fatal cases. When death
does occur it is, as rule. with cerebral symptoms,
as was the case with Senator Logan. Such symp-
toms are most liable to develop In persons whose
nervous system has been subjected TO tremendous
strains, or to the tonic effects OF narcotics and
stfmulants. No doubt the eXhaust1ng political and
literary laborS OF the deceased had made IT posi-
bic for the rheumatic poison to attack and paralyZe
his nervous centerS, thus bringing to fatal issue
disease that In 81 per cent OF cases Is perfectly
free from danger to life."

Gen. LOgan's Burial Place.
WHY ARLINGTON Is HELD TO BE AN APPROPRIATE
PLACE.
To the Editor of THE RvEN1NG STAR.
or all places In the country Arlington appears
to be the most appropriate burial place for the
great volunteer general OF the war. The Soldiers
home belongs to and is maintained by contribu-
tons from the regular army. A public park or
drtve-a pleasure ground-appearS to be singularly
Inappropriate for place OF burial Arlington was
the home OF him who, had he been loyal, would
have commanded the union armies, and in such an
event that spot would have been his last resting
place and. next to Mount Vernon, would have
been held in reverence by the American people. 1t
is now the resting place of the volunteers OF the
union army. The army Of dead patriots are there;
1t is fitting that their great general should be with
them.
Gen. Burdett, in his eloquent memorial address,
delivered at Arlington In 1885, closed with these
words: "Forgtve me another word. Here, where
all the sancities born OF patriotic selfdenial have
tit altar, Abraham Lincoln ought to have been
buried; this was the place to have laid away our
comrade James A. Garfield, whose voice was the
first heard at Arlington on memorial day. Your
hearts have shaped for me the name next would
speak. When at the sound OF the bell all men
here, and only here, is there place meet for his
Sepulture. There lies the capital of the nation he
served and saved as soldier and President. This is
the Potomac flowing at our feet. It's banks have
conservation for uses such as this. Mount Vernon
Is near by. Here is the guard already set, silent
but faithful" For neither OF the great statesmen
and soldiers named by Gen. Burdett would Ar
lington be so appropriate burial place as for
as the representative leader OF the volunteers Let
him rest with them On the heights overlooking the
capital OF the nation they saved, where
On fame's eternal camping ground
s'Their silent tents are spread,
And glory guards with ceaSeleSS round
The bivOuac OF the dead" L.
