The Manhattan Contract.

In the MORNING NEWS of the 18th of
July, 1888, the following astounding state
ment is made and signed by special agent:
Bear in mind that all contracts of the
Manhattan are absolutely incontestible
after three years from issue" Now what
does the Manhattan Life Insurance Com
pany say in its contract which governs the
matteri From the body of policy No.
81, 720, issued in Savannah End day of Feb
ruary, 1888, we take the following language
from clause No. l: IF any statement made
in the application be in any respect untrue or
If the insured die in consequence Of dnu Uto-
latiOn Of lalC, or if he engage in any naval
or military service, except in the militia
not in actual service, this policy shall be
uotd, and all payments made upon IL shall
De forfeited to the company, except after
being In force three full years this policy
shall be incontestible for any misstatement
in the application ercept as to age"
After three full years have passed the
Manhatt IN policy is incontestible only for
any miSStdtement, except as to age, and as
a misStatement is fraud by law, this pro-
vision avails nothing to the policy holder.
On other conditions the policy declares it
self not only void, but all payments made
upon it forfeited to the company, vide
Manhattan policy New end. self or
New York law makes suicide a crime,
and the 1882 Code of Georgia, section 2S23
declares: Death by suicide or by the
hands of justice, either primitive or pre-
ventive, releases the insurer from the obi
cations of his contract" Therefore, as the
Manhattan does not assume such as risk.
and as the Manhattan voids its policies for
any violation of law, and as suicide is a
violation of law, the Manhattan Life In
surance Stock Company can or cannot pay
loss from suicide, as it may be. or may
not be, to its interest to do so, but any
pollcy-holder can examine his policy and
see there is no obligation, but on the con-
trary, 1T is not equity for the Manhattan to
make such payment.
The policy of the Penn Mutual Life In
surance Company, as far as law allows. is
lncontestlbe after two years from issue;
suicide, death from hazardous occupations,
etc, being risks deliberately assumed by
the company. The board of trustees,
promptly recognizing the mutual character
of the Penn, and extending to the entire
membership the benefits and advantages
offered to new insurers, adopted the follow
ing resolution 2lst January, 1885:
RESOLVED, That on and after the list dav Of
January, 1883 all members insured under poll
cies then in force, issued by this company prior
10 January LIST, 1885, be, and they are hereby de-
clared, entitled TO all the provisions or ad-
vantages, as to suicide, residence, travel and
employment embraced Ia the new forms of
policies issued by this company.

HORSE THIEVES IN LIBERTY.
A Negro Boy Relieves Lawyer Way of
His Roadster


A. s. Way, Esq, of Mcintosh, Liberty
county, was in the city yesterday for the
purpose of getting a hose which was
stolen from his stables Friday morning, be-
tween o'clock and daybreak Mr. Way
communicated with Chief Of Police Green
Friday afternoon when he missed
the horse, and giving a description OF the
animal, asked the chief to keep a lookout
for 1t, Mr.. Way learned that negro boy
bound Tor Savannah had been seen riding
horse that fitted the description. He
succeeded In following the horse until
within few miles Of Savannah, when he
lost the trail Yesterday morning he went
TO see Chief Green, who instructed the men
to be on the lookout. Detective Mike Han
ley was also notified and was put on the
case.
Sergt. Killourhy detailed Officer Baughn
to go through the south commons and make
thorough search, while the sergeant
worked the western portion OF the city.
About l o'clock yesterday afternoon officer
Baughn telephoned to headquarters from
the store of r. D. Mcdonnell, at Whitaker
and Duffy streets, that he had found the
horse. Mr.. Way was notified, and he went
Immediately out to get the animal He
was told when he got there that Mr.. George
w. Stewart, a clerk in McDonells store,
had bought the horse and refused to give it
up unless he was paid for doing so, Mr.
Way consulted w. w. Frazier, Esq, and
took out a possessory warrant in Magistrate
kusselPs court, and the horse was brought in
After Mr.. Stewart was satisfied that the
horse belonged to Mr.. Way, he relinquished
his claims. The cost OF the warrant fell
upon Mr.. Stewart, but the parties shared
the expense, and the case was dismissed
Mr. Stewart stated that q negro boy,
about 10 years Of age, came into the store
Friday afternoon and wanted TO sell a
horse. The boy said that his brother was
in Jail here, and he was axious to get him
released. If he could get enough money on
the horse, he would be able to do so. Mr.
Stewart said that he had no use
for the animal, and told the boy so,
but he finally offered him $50 The negro
accepted the offer and left Immediately
after receiving the money, saying that he
was going to the jail to have his brother
released. Mr.. Stewart said that although
he knew the horse was worth more than
$50, it never entered his head that it was
sIolen. Mr.. Way does not know anybody
living in or around Mcintosh that nils the
description of the boy. Detective Hanley
is working up the case.

TIE STREET CAR MULE.
Why He Is Preferred to the Nobler
Animal.


"There are but few horses in the street car
service in Savannah" said a stockman of
one of the street car lines yesterday. eve
used horses once, but good mules answer
every purpose and last equally as long, if
not longer, than horses Besides, mules are
cheaper. The average price Of a horse Is
from Sl25 to $3.50, and we only pay $50,
s75 and 800 for mules. Our cheap stock
is all Texan raised"
win Texas mules answer on all the
nnesr
"Ob, no. Some of the lines here require
very heavy stock. All the Belt line mules
are large. Small mules would not answer
the purpose at all. So are the mules large
on the West Broad street line. The cars
are heavier and the track is rougher On
the Whitaker and Liberty street lines the
mules are small, and yet they do the work
we'll. Street car mules last, as rule, about
three years. Horses do not last quite so
long. They are more spirited, and fret
themselves down.
spirit In mule is an unknown quantity.
New horses always start off with zeal, and
that will not do for a street car horse
Horses scare at escaping steam, shy at
lamps on street distractions and they often
try torun away and take the car with them
when fire engine or q dray passes so that,
to service, they are worn out. We have
none of this to contend with in a mule. He
was born for service, and he seems TO be
apprlsed of that fact when he has made
several trips on line with an old-timer,
whose ears droop like sunfowers The best
feature of a street car mule is that he is not
ambitious. He is easily contented, and gem
orally has good constitution. A race
horse would be unfit for street car work,
and a big truck horse would be almost as
bad.n
is there any preference in color ~
"Oh, yes. Dark colors are preferred by
the drivers. The darker the mule the better
his driver will treat him, and the prouder
he is Of him.
"Do the mules know the car bells g.
''As well as the driver himself. They
would give the driver deal of trouble if
they did not"
What is done with the mules when they
wear out"
They are sold to the farmers, who patch
them up and make good stock out of them
After all, it depends on the treatment a
mule gets as to how long he lives. A driver
can ruin pair of mules in a couple
OF days if he is unaccustomed to
handling the brakes. If the brakes
are applied suddenly, the shoulders
of the mules are strained In the same way,
If they are allowed to start off suddenly
after being halted. A good driver always
pulls his team in when they start off, which
causes them to pull as much by the bit as by
the shoulder. 1t all lies in the driving. The
conductors place is not a difficult one by
any means 1t is true he has to make all
meeting points as nearly on time as possible,
bnt this requires only an occasional glance
at his watch. Every car is allowed GER
tain time between switches, and after a
man learns the schedule he is all right"

JUSTICE NAUGHTIN CONTESTS.
He Asks the Court to Reverse Itself
on the Justices Appointments.

He Asks the Court to Reverse Itself
on the Justices appointments
The Naughtin contest case was heard
yesterday. Justice NJ. Naughtin, among
others, was a candidate for reappointment
by the grand jury as a notary public and
ex-officio justice of the peace, and was
defeated by Lewis b. Endres last Wednes-
day. J. r. Saussy, Esq, attorney for JUS
tice Naughtin, notified the court that he
would contest Mr.. Endres appointment,
and when Capt. Robert Falligant, Mr..
Endres' attorney, asked for an order for his
client the order was withheld The case
came on for hearing yesterday on
the petition of Justice Naughtin praying
the court to declare null and void
the action of the grand jury in nominating
the notarieS public and ex-officio justices Of
the peace. The counsel for Justice Naughtin
held that the nominations should have been
made at the March term as the term next
preceding the vacancy, which would occur
July Is. He also held that by virtue of the
failure Of the grand jury to appoint at the
March term, the parties would hold over
until their successors are appointed at a
term subsequent to the vacancy.
The counsel for Mr.. Endres argued that
the June term is in fact the term preced-
ing the vacancy" being that term which is
nearest the time when the vacancy will oc-
cur, and that usually the June term is not
extended so late as the present term, and if
it had adjourned as early as has been the
custom, no one would claim that it is not
the term next preceding the vacancy. The
court reserved its decision until tomorrow.
The matter was considered at the March
term, and the court did not instruct the
grand jury to appoint the justices, but at
the present, or June term the grand jury
was instructed to appoint, and did so.
Justice Waring Russell Jr., applied for
and was granted his order, which, ID has
been learned, has teen forwarded to the
governor for his commission.
