An Interestirp Insurancc suit,

CHICAGO, Sept. 27.-An extraordinary
suit is on the docket of tho circuit court
for trial at an early date. When Nilsson
A. Schinischelewitz went on a visit to
his relatives In Russia i.~,t December
his life was insured in the 1Itna Lifts
Insurance company in the sum of 81, 100,
the policy being made payable, iii the
event of his death, to his father. On
Christmas night, while crossing the
river Neva, Nilsson drove into hole
that some priests in the Greek church
had cut In the ice for the purpose OF
immersing the image Of the Saviour.
After the fathers had performed the
ceremony they very thoughtlesslY
left the hole in the ice Without any red
lanterns or other danger signals, and
unaware of the danger Nilsson drove in
and was drowned. AT this point the
river has a very stroiig current. and as
the body was never recovered, 1t was
assumed that it had been carried out to
sea. At least this was the story told by
his father, Solomon Schimischelewitz,
Wien lie trade demand upon the in
surance compaiiy fof the payment of the
amount called fd' by the policy. But
the officials were inclined to look upon
the statement as very like fairy story,
snd IN the absence of satisfactory proof
payment was refused. Suit was then
commenced by the father, and if the
case is pressed the litigation is likely to
be expensive to both sides. Witnesses
from Russia must be met by counter
witnesses, and depositions by counter
dispositions. All OF these. especially in
view OF the distance, will cost money:
~hile. should the company set up plea
that the holder Of the policy is still
alive and in the flesh, The other side will
he compelled TO prove to the satisfao~
ton of jury that the river was actually
frozen at the time. that the priests ac-
tually cut the hole and immersed the
image, that Wilson went into it, and
that he never came out alive or was
seen afterward. Altogether the case
will be full of interest to insurance peo-
pie and policy holders, and contains,

General Boulanger Will Surrender Him
self to the French Government.
New 1oRK. Sept, 21.-A London cable
says: 1T is given out that General Bou-
LANCER. yielding to the counsel of the
boider section Of his friends, has about
determined to return To France shortly
before the supplemental elections. 1t
will be his last card and may provo It
trump, although the risks are very
serious. In .purging his contempt by
surrender the general will obtain the
right to a new trial but although he
will thus regain his civil privileges, and
Will legally be a candidate, thus com
pelling the authorities to count the
ballots deposited for him, he will have to
remain ii prisoner until the second trial
is held Should the enemies of the re-
publics.ns gain Il decided victory in the
supplemental elections the second trial
would necessarily be mere farce, but
on the other hand, should they fail, his
condemnation and transportation to a
fortified place would be d certainty. 1t
will therefore be seen that should the
general decide upon returning, he will
run good deal of personal risk. The
French authorities are daily advised re-
garding his movements and daily re-
port is forwarded to Paris. Special m
structions have also been issued to the
police authorities of Calais, Dieppe,
Havre and other seaports. and his arrest
would be certain the moment that he
set foot on French soil.

EMPoRlA, Kan, Sept. 2s.-A terrible
outrage was perpetrated last evening
about dark at the Sacred Heart convent
in this city. Sister Camille was at

beaten and kicked until unconscious and
supposed to be dead. Her assailant sue

prosecuted her until she asked her
superioreSs to transfer her to some other
place and was sent here. Learning where
she was he followed, and has concealed
himself in and around the convent and
continued his prosecutions This is the
third time he has assaulted her, and he
declared he would take her life if he
lost his own in doing SO. He is still at
large and his victim lies in an extremely
dangerous condition, The newspapers
here have been kept in ignorance of the

Boone.s nnnn,ch House.

BOONE, Ia, Sept IS. Every town is
said to have its haunted house. and
Boone is not lacking in this respect. In
the northern part Of the city stands a
story and q half house Which bear tne
reputation of being haunted by the
ghost of woman, who was murdered
there by her husband. 1t stands lonely
and Stunned by all. The yard surround
ing the house is bare of vegetation. and
the whole place bears very desolate
look. Numerous attempts have been
made to reside in the house, but no one
succeeds in Drawing the spirits long.
The seancc generally commences about
midnight with a noise Of breaking
crockery and red and blue lights are
seen flashing in the windows, followed
by smothercd cries. evidently from a
woman. Then comes the sound of a fall
ing body and all is silent for a few mo-
ments. The noises are regularly re-
peated from II o'clock until 3 in the
morning. A belated pedestrian once
passing that way at night avcrred he
saw woman's face at the window. and
though this is not sworn to the noises
and lights are. No one goes that way
at night and the place is generally
avoided, even i'll broad daylight.

Llanduduo. Wales, provides new
illustration of the old adage that the
course of true love does not always run
smoothly. One day recently u lady and
gentleman, evidently Of good social
position, were walking on the pier,
when their actions showed that an ''un.
pleasantness'' had arisen. Angry looks
and emphatic gesticulations, particu
larly on the part of the gentleman, char
acterized their procedure. Eventually
the storm came to head by the gentle
man demanding the engagement ring
from the lady's finger. She promptly
gave it up, whereupon he took.his ring
off and hurled both the love tokens to
the sea with vim. This seemed at
have the effect of cooling their anger,
love soon resumed, its sway and they
made it up The gentleman hired ar
expert swimmer to dive for the rings
but he was unsuccessful.

To Utilize the Machinery of the Postonls

Departnent iOr tDe benent Oh the w 6Sts

New YORK, Sept. 2s.-The old adags
that there is nothing new under the sur
crops up again in connection with the
scheme to utilize the machinery of tht
postal department for the benefit of the
Western Union telegraph company's de-
livery service. Something of the kind
was introduced by General Manager
Bates before the absorption of the Bal
timofe and Ohio concern by its older
competitor. Mr.. Bates scheme was to
receive messages at night rates, with
the addition of 2 cents for postage,
such messages to be dropped into the
general postoffice of the city to
which it was addressed in time for the
first delivery in the morning. In this
way night message sent say at mid
night, and for which nominal trans
mission rate was charged, would be
delivered by Uncle Sans carriers before
0 o'clock in the morning. This system
worked like charm and at the timc Of
the absorption OF the baltimore and
Ohio was employed in all the larger
cities of the country. The idea of Post
master General Wanamaker, it is truo,
is more broad and comprehensive, but ii
follows the same lines, and the fact re.
mains that instead of being something
new, it Is merely an elaboration Of
system the success of which was demon;
strated years ago.
