Fighting Nine Years 10 Secure the
Payment of Policies.

A-AthuGh A-OhhChEHs
KANSAS CRY. June 24.-About nine
years ago John W. Hillman OF Lawrence,
Kan. who had secured insurance on his
life for S32, 600, went to Iudisn Territory
with several companions. Soon after
word came back that he was accidentally
shot dead. The body was brought to
Lawrence, but many people refused TO
believe IL was Hillman's, among them the
insurance companies. When the alleged
widow presented the policies the COM
panies refused TO pay them, alleging that
the body was that of young man who
bad been murdered by Hillman and CO.
cOnspirators. The matter was taken into
court and three trials were had, the latest
one last winter when the state supreme
court decided in favor Of Mrs. Hillman
or Mrs. Smith, as abe had become by
mnrrisgeto Leavenworth travelling man.
Eight years ago j. NJ. Miller OF Law
renee, set out to find Hillman. Several
men were arrested but each proved not
the man. Just as the New York Life
Insurance Company was about to pay its
policy, word came from Miller that be
found Hillman at Tombstone, Arizona.
a detective went to Tombstone and
seemed to identity the prisoner. Some
time ago the man was brought secretly to
Lawrence, but no one ever saw him to
identity him.
Last Tuesday word came that he had
escaped and every one supposed that the
arrested man was not Hillman. Last might
the case became more mysterious than
ever as IN attorney of one of the incur.
ance companies sent word to several
papers that Hillman had been recaptured
and was to be taken TO Topeka to-day.
No one has seen him, however, and the
matter still stands the greatest insurance
mystery of the day.

Officers from Haverstraw visited the
place this morning and arrested four of

A snmpio Of The maiarin.

Now YORK Evening Ro5t.
Senator Higgins of Delaware was the
guest of the Norfolk Club in Boston on
Saturday night, and was received with
much favor as the first Republican
senator from that State. he made q
speech in which he dwelt with much
earnestness upon the wrongs which his
State had suffered through Democratic
rule and the unscrupulous men whom
that rule had put in Office. He treated
his election as an important step towards
breaking Democratic rule in tho solid
south, saying II do not ask the men OF
the north to settle this southern problem;
do not ask for their interference, but
only that they will not 60 back upon
the Republicans OF the south who are in
earnest in rectifying the wrongs" This
appears to have been q more or less
direct appeal to the Republicans present
not to Ego back upon" ex-Judge George
P. Fisher OF Delaware, whom Senator
Higgins has persuaded the President to
appoint first auditor Of the treasury

Tribune said in 1876;

ring. There were Matched the conspiracles
to convict innocent citizens OF felony, the
plots to get rid Of witnesses, The schemes to
take burglars out OF jail. Grimes Of the
most dastarhly character were committed
under the sheltering caves OF that scanda.
lous establishment. Theft, and riot, and
bribery, and perjury received there en-
couragement and protection.
Does Senator Higgins think the south
can be redeemed from misrule by con-
terring office upon men OF that stamp ?
He asked anxiously in his Boston speech,
''what il the malsria in your stmos-
phere, what is the puison that you have
bred, that led the author Of the 'Biglow
Papers to say that tue greatest type OF
American citizen was Grover Cleveland"
Fishers appointment is sample Of the
''mslaria" and the "poison" that have
driven out Of the Republican party not
only Mr.. Lowell, but thousands OF other
men who represented its Intelligence and
conscience in the days Of its glory.
