Crazy From Study.

A short time ago Rev. M. f. Dry
den, one of the leading Methodist
ministers of the State, who is station
ed at Wheeling, became suddenly in
sane. He made violent assaults on
his wife, and is now guarded by
friends. His misfortune is due to
over-study. The gentleman came
into wide prominence year ago
through an extended and bitter con-
troversy with Bishop Kahn, of the
Catholic church.

Sings of sylvan ways and times, :.
And Prince Charming does his wooing in tie
oaintiest OF rhymes!
Through the keen and starlit weather
Lear tue hoofs and sleigh bells ring,
Warm furs catch the snowfiakes feather.
Echoes answer peals that swing

Young and old We greet thy face
By our hearthstones nail thy glory

KILRAIN PLEADS IN VAIN.
Gov. Lowry Refuses to Interfere in the
Pugilist's Case.

Murray F. Smith OF vicksburg, law partner Of
Attorney General Miller, spent yesterday in
Jackson, Miss, accompanied by Jake Kilrain,
to ask Gov. Lowry to remit the imprisonment
imposed on Kinrain upon his paying the fine
Of 5000 and all costs
After hearing all that Kilrain and his counsel
had to say Gov. Lowry replied that it was not
the mere fighting of the two men, but the in
suit and indignity offered to the people of the
commonwealth in the face of his proclamation
and the calling out Of troops to prevent it.
He said: II acquit Sullivan and yourself, Mr..
Kilrain, OF any attention to defy the laws of
Mississippi, but you were instrumental in the
hands of others. and without inquiry or looking
to results you obeyed the directions of your as
sociates and fagrantly violated special statute.
Mr.. Sullivan was convicted and sentenced to
one year in the county jail. You we're more
fortunate, and for some unexplained reason or
action OF the jury You were convicted of the
lesser offense-assault and battery-and SEN

Of imprisonment and your successful antagonist

MIR. GOwEN'S INSURANCE.
The Companies Will Pay Irrespective Of
the Rule Against Suicide.

With view Of ascertaining what effect the
suicide of the late Franklin b. Gowen would
have upon the payment of the large insurance
policies which were held in his name the lead
ing insurance agents of the city we're consulted
yesterday by the Philadelphia Inquirer upon
the question. The following interviews define
the policy of the companies in the matter:
Mr.. Register the general manager of the
Equitable life assurance society, said yesterday
that one of the provisions of the society is that
if. after three years duration OF policy. a
man should commit suicide the family
or heirs can collect the amount
Mr.. Register said he did not know whether
the last policy which Mr.. Gowen placed came
within the time mentioned in this provision.
but that if it did no objection would be raise Il
as to its payment. Referring to the letter
which Mr.. Gowen wrote him shortly before his
departure for Washington, he said no man,
least OF all an attorney. would think of sacri-
hcing $4,000 for $4,000, (Which would have
been the amount of the paid-up policy if he
had contemplated suicide, and Mr.. Gowen
knew that If an insurance company decided to
contest the payment on the ground of suicide it
would make no difference in the result whether
it was paid-up policy or not.
One of the members of the New York life
insurance company said that no provision was
entered in their policy respecting suicide 1t
Is foregone conclusion that a man taking
out an insurance policy contemplates no such
design. Respecting the payment of Mr.. Cow
ems insurance, the company held itself in readi-
ness whenever the demand was made upon
them.
Joseph Ashbrook, of the Provident life and
trust company, said that the insurance which
they held on Mr.. Governs life would be paid
without question. They reserve the right Of
passing judgment in the question of premedi-
tation. Respecting such man as Mr. Gowen,
he said. "the coupling of such an insinuation
with him amounted to nothing short of insult
to his memory"
The other companies interested in the in
surance on Mr.. Gowen are of the same opinion
as those quoted above, with the probable ex-
ceptlon OF the Connecticut life insurance COM
pany. MIR. Walter Tilden Of this company said
that he could make no statement regarding the
matter until he had heard from his company
and added that they did not insure against sui
eide. The insurance held by the different COM
panles on the life of the late Franklin B. Gowen
amounts in all to S221, OOO and the sums are
distributed as follows:

settlers was weakened BY the presence Of their

AN ADVERSE DECISION.
A Conversation Between Man and Wife
Cannot be SANDER.

a rather important law point was
decided lately in the Supreme Court
of California in the case of Sesler VS..
Montgomery. 1t was suit for
SANDER. Mrs. Sesler heard Mont
gomery and his wife talking together
about her. She was an eavesdropper
and heard the whole conversation.
She brought suit in the Supreme
Court of Alameda county for $4,000
damages, and got a verdict in her
favor. The defendant appealed, and
the Supreme Court reversed the de-
cision Of the lower court, holding, as
its reason, that a conversation be-
ween husband and wife about third
party is not SANDER.
