Among the recent decisions by the Court
OF Errors and Appeals was one of special
interest to policy holders in the defunct
Aillville Mutual Fire aud Marine Insur-
ance Company. While it was generally
understood by the insured in the Fire In
surance Department that the two branches
of Fire and Marine Insurance were sepa-
rate, the decision presents the matter i'll
quite another light. tt is TO the effect that
the premium notes given for fire insurance
are liable to assessment for the payment of
losses in the marine department. which
are quite heavy. 1t will be remembered by
many that a happy thought struck some Of
the officials of the company after it became
painfully apparent that the company must
give mp business. Some of these men
were heavy policy holders, and it was re-
solved that upon the payment Of a two and
a half per cent. assessment on the premium
notes held by the company members
might withdraw and have their policies
cancelled and notes surrendered. The de-
cision holds that these policies and notes
are still liable for their proportion of the
losses, the same as though they had not
been cancelled or surrendered.

Wood in Her Stomach.
TO BEcoSTISUED.

A case which is likely to attract n.
profound attention of the medical
minds of the State has been develope5
in Burlington, Ala.
Mrs. J. J. Murphy, the wife Of !,
laborer, died recently after short m.
ness of some disease of the stomach
the nature Of which physicians vera
unable to determine. After her death
DR.. Stoves, who had been her attend.
ing physician for two weeks prior "a
her death, obtained the consent Of the
dead woman's husband to make an An.
topsy, to ascertain the disease from
the effects Of which she died. He sc.
cordingly opened the stomach and
found most surprising conditions On
eacn sue there WAS a mass OF nbrons
matter, and on the right side a large
rag was wrapped up in the ibrous ma.
terial.
DR.. Stoves removed the entire ston.
ach from the body and made close
examination. 1t was ascertained that
the fibers were of wood. The mass a.
taken from the stomach was then
weighed and tipped the beam at e1.
actly two pounds. Then the question
arose, how did so much wood get into
the woman's stomach, and how long
had it been there before death ensued?
Mrs. Murphy, two weeks before her
demise, summoned DR.. Stoves and
complained Of the most excruoiating
pain in her stomach. She said she had
been suffering from these pains for
years, and she was at loss to know
what they were attributable to. She
mentioned incidentally that she had
been great snuff-dipper for many
years. DIR. Stoves made an examina-
ton, but could discover no symptoms
Of disease, and told her SO. He adj
ministered some medicine, thinking it
would give relief, but it did not have
the desired effect.
The woman soon began to get worse,
and about a week ago began to sink.
DIR. Stoves called in DR.. Davis and
the two had a consultation and made
another full examination, but could not
discover the nature Of her trouble.
An operation was discussed, but the
lady was so weak that the chances were
that she would die under the knife, and
this had to be dropped The physi-
clans did all they could for her, but to
20 avail, and "Wednesday afternoon,
about 2 80 o'clock, she died.
The only reasonable theory that can
account for the appearance Of the two
pounds of wood in the stomach is that
At various times Mrs. Murphy sval'
lowed small pieces of her snuff brushes,
and the mass was the accumulation q

was two or three feet long, and closely
imbedded in the wood.

IHE objection against making lead

has been overcome. One of the diff

A MONTANA LADY.

Miss Helen P. Clarke, who will give a
reading here next Monday evening as
sisted by some of the musical talent of
this place, is u daughter Of Capt. Nal
colin Clarke, who lived in early days on
Mitchell's ranch in Prickly Pear canyon
Here he was killed by Blackfeet Indians
in 1870, and his son Horace was wound
ed and left for dead. The government
had pursued the peace policy and was
not disposed to move against the offend
ers; but Capt. Clarke's sister, the distin-
guished Charlotte Van Cleve of Mime
apolis, went to Washington and stirred
up the government. One of her broth
er's West Point classmates was high in
authority and through his influence Gen.
Sheridan issued his famous order to Col.
Baker to hit the Indians hard. Baker
surprised them on the Marias river near
Fort Benton and so severely whipped
them that they have been peacea BILE ever
since. When Gen. Sherman was in the
l'rickly Pear canyon few years since he
visited the spot where Clarke is buried
and shed tears over the grave Of his old
classmate, whom he remembered as a
blithesome lad. Miss Clarke has been
elected Supt. of public instruction for
four terms successfully. As an amateur
actress she has won much praise from
critics.
