Thomas GRAY Lorine.

The community will hear with pain of the
death of Thomas Gray Loring, the sad event
occurring at his residence, corner of Oxford
and Pearl streets, at $50 p. m. yesterday. 1t
was five weeks almost to an hour since he
was stricken down, in the terrible ice-storm
of January 2Sth, until his death, and during
all that time he has lain ON his bed paralyzed
in his lower eXtremities but clear in mind
and retaining, to the last, much Of that
sweetness of disposition that had endeared
him to his many friends and acquaintance.
In fact his friends were encouraged to believe
he would ultimately recover, although his
physician considered such result decidedly
problematical. Yesterday noon he failed
very rapidly, although the day previous he
was apparently much improved. The i'm
mediate cause of death is not announced and
it is said an autopsy will be made.
Mr.. Loring was born in Yarmouth Nov.
18th, 1929, and was the third son of Jacob G..
Loring and Desiah B. Loring of that village.
When eighteen years of age Mr.. Loring
was anxious to go into business and his
father secured him a situation as clerk in a
drug store in Boston. He took quickly to
the business and after remaining there a
few years he came to Portland at his father S
request and entered the then well known
drug-house Of John G. Kelly & Co., on Mid
die street. in which establishment Mr.. Au-
gustus P. Fuller was partner. He after
wards established himself on the corner of
Federal and Exchange streets, where W. l..
Wilson & Co., are now located, and later re-
moved to the opposite corner where he has
remained over thirty years. He married
Miss Adelaide Coe of this city-whose
father was so long in the Post Office-who
survives him, but leaves no children. His
brothers, Capt. George, Henry and Prentiss,
are living, the two latter in Portland.
Mr.. Loring was man of great ability, and
while he never accepted college education
as his father desired, yet he was a great
reader, thoroughly posted in general litera-
ture, and a capital chemist. Many of his
elixirs are established medicines, and pre-
scribed by the faculty His reputation for
wit and humor was well grounded. he was
most genial companion, and his sharp sal
lies left behind no sting to rankle. He was
naturally rather shy, but when little en-
enlargement was given he could fairly sur
prise with his fund of wit and eloquence.
This was especially proven in his connection
with the Knights of Pythias, the only organ
ization he ever joined, and to whom he was a
tower Of strength. He will prove not only a
great loss to the order but he will leave a
gap in Portland that will not easily be filled.
Mr.. Loring was member of Bramhall
Lodge, K. of p, of the date of May 18th,
1872. He left Bramhall to become charter
member of Longfellow Lodge, and was
made by the latter society a Past Chancellor
and Representative to the Grand Lodge. He
had been president of the Relief Associa-
ton, but ceased to be member after its re-
organization.
| Mr.. Loring was Democrat in politics, but
never took any active part

Dummy Warrants.

The fees on search warrants served by
policemen in Portland are paid into the city
treasury. They are paid by the county. On
lnany such warrants, authorizing a search
for liquors, no liquors have been found.
These are known as dummy warrants, !"
and the county commissioners have disallow-
ed fees and expenses for the service of dunn
my warrants by the police, to the amount of
about $4,000. The city therefore has a claim
against the county for this amount. In
response to the request of Mayor Deering,
the city solicitor, Judge SymoAds, has in
dicated the course which must be adopted if
the claim is to be pressed. He says
The county commissioners are designated as
the board of examine and correct the usual
criminal bills tot costs which are to be paid from
the county treasury, and no appeal from their de-
cision is provided. So far, therefore, as the al
lowance or disalowance of such bills is in any
sense matter of Judgment or discretion. think
the county commissioners are the tribunal to
which the law submits the question, and that their
decision is final But in a case in which the al
l0wance of the costs was plain legal right, and
there was no room for the exercise of any dis
cretionary authority about 1t, and the refusal 70
allow them was clearly unreasonable and unJustl,
might require the commissioners to audit and
allow them.
If the CITY Council should decide to- test the
question in this instance application for the writ
of mandamus can be made to the Supreme Court
as the council shall direct, and the case can be
presented at the next April term. think no suit
can be brought directly against the county to re-
cover the amount of the costs, till they have been
allowed by the commissioners.
The Commissioners say they have allowed
the police as many dummy warrants in pro-
portion to the seizures they have made, as
they have allowed to the deputy sheriffs for
the same time.

The Union Mutual Life Insurance
Connpanv.


During the past five years the cash assets
of this popular and substantial Eastern life
Company have nearly doubled. In its jan
uary statement, the Union Mutual shows
total assets of $6,119,547, of which no less
than 100000 is policy-holders' surplus. by
the legal standard of the State Of New Y ork.
Here is certainly margin enough to suit the
most fastidious or timid policy-holder. And
the figures prove conclusively that no
contingency whatever attaches to the
absolute security Of all who are
fortunate enough to hold a Union Mutual
policy. During 1886, the Company paid its
policy holders $s19,677, for death claims
matured and discounted endowments, sur
rendered policies and dividends. And since
its organization, the Union Mutual Life has
paid to its policy holders the enormous ag-
gregate of 1921, 653, 1856 Obviously, this is a
record to be proud of and deserving of spec
ial mention as indicating exceptionally lib
eral treatment to this Company's patrons
and members. The year 1886 opens most en-
couragingly for the Union Mutual, showing
an advance in business which, for January
and February, is the largest, for those two
months, of any January and February dur
ing the ten years the present management,
under John E. Dewitt, has administered the
Company's affairs. The record is follows,
