tanElements Likely TO Bnsue-A sharp
Lookout Will Have TO He Kept for
Frauds-Time Extension Granted.
The loss by the Pennsylvania loco will be
greatly felt by the life insurance companies.
1t is impossible TO say just at present what
the losses will be, as most of the insurance
was done through the Pennsylvania agents,
and a report must first be obtained from them
TO find out what the risks were in the flooded
district.
There is no doubt but that some Of the
companies will be struck harder than they
will care to admit.
1t is rumored that the Mutual Provident
Insurance Company, of Philadelphia, Is
largely interested. 1t is a local company and
has no Office in New York.
Secretary Alexander, of the Equitable, said
this morning that the Company's loss would
be trifing. He was unable to say what their
liabilities in the flooded section are. but as 1t
Is mining district 1875 900 would probably
cover the policies. II the food had swept
PittsblTg or Philadelphia the losses would
have been enormous.
Secretary w. j. Easton. of the New York
Life, at 80 Nassau street, said:
:" II Is imossible to say what our losses will
amount TO. People who carried large poll
cies would not be apt to be in hat section at
this time.
1t is not at all unlikely. however. that
the aggregate value of the policies held by
the residents in that county will be short Of
$500. 900. but exactly how much of that will
be lost it is impossible to state. 1t will take
two weeks or more to tell how we stand.
In paying policies. we will have to exer-
else more than ordinary caution, as q great
many frauds will be attempted.
In the food everything was washed away
and there are people who. IF they found a
policy, would look up the owner, and if
there were no members of the family left,
they would put in a claim.
There will he a great many legal en-
tanglements, and the law departments of
the insurance companies will be Kept busy.
We have telegraphed our agent to give
all holders of policies an extension OF thirty
days time to pay their subscriptions. In their
present upset condition, it would be impossi-
BILE for them TO keep up the payments on
time
G. Meidt. of the Germania Life Insurance
Company. said:
I'VE are interested: to a certain extent.
though all the risks made by the Germania
are small, ranging from 81. 900 to 49, 900 each.
We have telegraphed for information, but we
will not be able to tell the amount of our
losses for a week or two"

Colonel Dudley Tells the Story of a Sol
dier Afflicted with 1t.
Talking about courage and cowardice at
the club the other day, says the Washing
ton Post, Colonel Dudley remarked that he
always had as much sympathy with cow
ardly man as he had admiration for brave
one, for he thought nerve was natural at
tribute to man, just like taste for art, the
gift of acquiring languages, or musical tai
ent One man may have gift for music,
while his next-door neighbor may not be
able to tell one note from another. So one
man may be natural coward, while his
brother or his cousin may be born without
the sense of fear.

Nineteenth Indiana" continued Colonel
Dudley. "a young fellow by the name of
Woods, who was bright, well educated
and came from one of the most respectable
families in Indiana. He was a good camp
soldier, but we were never able to get him
into battle. The sound of explosives orthe
sight of blood would throw him into hyster-
les of fear, and when he was placed in po-
sition of danger he would become uRcon-
trollable- e-temporarily insane. Finally he
deserted, went over into the rebel lines,
and then came back with suit of gray on,
expecting that he would be sent to some
Northern prison as Confederate. But he
was identified, tried by court-martial, and
sentenced to be shot as a deserter He
was shot, and, strangely enough, on the
day Of his execution, for the first time in
his life, he behaved like hero, / never
saw man exhibit the nerve he did. He
refused to have his eyes bandaged, but
stood up beside his coffin and looked
straight into the barrels Of the muskets
that were pointed at his heart, He made
an ante-mortem statement, in which he
claimed that his desertiop was not due to
lack of loyalty, but to bodily fear. He
thought he could get out of the army that
way, and believe his words were true"

Il The sITER BITTEN.
A Practical Joke which Came Near End
ing In q Tragedy.

A Practical Joke Which Came Near End
ing I'm a Tragedy.
A young physician went to see his cousin,
an army officer, out upon the great plains
The officer was given to practical Jokes, and
the young doctor, being a genuine ''tender-
foot" was most promising subject. One
morning, says the Youths Companion, the
host gravely proposed an elephant. hunt
"What," said the doctor, 'do you have ele-
plants out herOm
"Plenty Of them," replied the host. Prep
arations were at once begun, and by nine
o'clock party Of youngsters, ripe Tor the
fun, were after elephants. When about five
or six miles from the post the doctor was
sent through a thicBet of ''wait-a-b bit"
thorns, of which he knew nothing. Antici-
pating rare sport at his plight on his return
the host sat on his horse waiting, when he
heard shot and was startled by loud cries
for help.
He galloped through the glades and ar
rived at a small prairie opening of an acre
or two in extent, around which the doctor
was frantically urging his pony, while only
d few yards behind was huge wild Texas
bull in full charge.
All the manliness of the host was aroused
by this real and unexpected danger of his
friend, and without moments hesitation,
he dashed IN and hred pistol shot. In an
instant the bull turned upon him. His large
American horse was unequal to the emer-
gency, and in turning was met full in the
side by the horns of the beast.
Both horse and rider were lifted for one
instant into the air, and then came down in
a heap together. The horse was dead with
out struggle, one horn being completely
| through his body, the other caught in the
bones of the chest. One leg of the rider
was between the horns of the bull, pinned
fast between his head and the body of the
horse.
The whole hunting party soon assembled.
They were afraid to shoot the bull lest his
struggles might further inJure the man
pinned to him. At last his iugular vein was
opened and he slowly bled to death. His
horns were then cut off, the horse lifted
and the now nearly dead man carried on
litter back to the post.
Though no bones were boken, he paid the
full penalty of his joke, not only with the
loss Of fine horse, but with several weeks
of severe suffering. 1t was his last "ele-
phant" hunt.

LADIES LOSING WATCHES.
An Investigating Reporter Tells Whore
They Should Wear Them.

An Investigating Reporter Tells Whore
They Should Wear Them.
Going into some of the large stores up
town one may notice that many of the
young women behind the counters who are
so fortunate as to possess watches have the
rings at the stems of their time pieces
drawn through holes in their jerseys and
fastened down securely by a button, so that
a watch could not be removed without quite
an effort, and certainly not without its
wearer knowing about it. This is a scheme
of wearing watch that has gone into fash
ion in the stores, and it has a substantial
and sensible basis Recently great many
watches have been stolen or lost, and in the
lost and found columns Of the Herald
larger number than usual have been report
ed, From the small number reported as
found compared with the large number re-
ported as lost, it is apparent that either the
honesty of the people who have been finding
watches on the curbstones lately is at very
low standard, or else the watches were
really not lost in the sense intended by the
advertisers, but stolen. It has been quite
fashionable for ladies', especially for those
engaged in the stores, to wear their watch
es in their bosoms, with fob chains hang
ing out of the button-holes of their jerseys
In most OF the cases where watches have
and to save time and to have the time
pieces as available as men have theirs,
they had just tucked them in between their
corset covers and the corsets, instead OF
inside the corsets as most ladies, it is be-
lieved, do. Thus worn, they were an invi
tation to pickpocket, and in the crowds
on the horse-cars and ferries just after
the closing hours Of the stores 1t was an
easy matter for an expert thief to make a
'haul." A lady who lives at the other end
Of Beacon street had the misfortune to find
watch on one of the streets down town
the other day, and she advertised it in the
Herald. The applicants who called right
away after the appearance of the advertise
ment were so numerous that it was a per-
sons work to attend the door. The lady
was surprised that so many people could
have lost watches. The police will say
that there are no thieves in the city-they
always debut the young ladies up town
know better.
