HEAVY LIFE INSURANCE.
ALLEN IN A CELL,
He Admits Overissuing Stock, But
Denies Forgery.


Denies Forgery.
New YORK. Aug. S.-Eben S. Allen,
until few days ago the president of the
Forty-second and Grand Street Ferry Rail
way Company, was brought from the po.
lice headquarters to the tombs police
court this morning Allen is charged
with forgery in issuing certificates of
stock of the company to the amount of
$4,000. After some delay the accused
was held in 100000, in default of which he
was locked up. Allen seemed very
cool and chatted with his accusers while
the clerk was busy drawing up the
complaint He admitted issuing 700 shares
of the stock and getting the benefit of it..
but denied forging the signatures Of John
Green and Charles Curtis, former presidents
of the company. When the charge of the
over issue of stock was read to Allen by the
clerk he replied that he was guilty. He
denied, however, that he had committed
forgery. Allen states that his partner in
the iron company, Ferdinand Hoefie, was
in no way connected with his guilty trans
action.
&2Hoefie was arrested this evening, and
locked mp at police headquarters. He de-
clares that he is utterly ianocsnt, though
he admits having received money from the
fraudulent issue of stocks in payment for
his iron patents. He will be arraigned to-
morrow,

SOUTH CAROLINA RAILROAD.
The Advocates of Reorganization
Strike Snag.

New YORK, Aug. S.-The advocates of
the recently promulgated plans for reor-
ganizing the South Carolina railroad have
struck snag in the unexpected opposition
OF many first mortgage bondholdogs an
swering to the call of the banking house of
hessler q Co. which call invited a protest
against the reduction Of the fist mortgage
interest. Messrs Kessler s. Co. are holders
of South Carolina railroad securities, both
ON their own account and for foreign Gus
toners. Their interest is mainly in the
hrst mortgage bonds, consequently they
are not enthusiastic over the proposed plan
OF reorganization, which coutemplates
scaling the interest of the first mortgage
bonds from to per cent.
UNFAIRNEss ALLEGED.
They say that while the programme
would probably prove advantageous to the
several classes Of Junior securities they can
not see any justice in it to the first mort
gage bonds. They insist that President
Talmage hos always admitted that the road
was abundantly able to earn, the interest on
its first mortgage debt, and therefore they
can not see how he and his associates, the
advocates Of the new plan, can expect the
first mortgage bondholders to consent to a
reduction of their interest simply to i'm
prove the status OF the other securities that
are OF inferior dignity.
DEMAND A CONCESSION.
They admit that it might be- policy to
reduce this interest provided some compen-
sation was allowed the first mortgage bond
holders for such concession, and say unhesi-
tatingly that unless some consideration is
granted the plan will not go through. The
movers for the reorganization, however,
insist that they have already secured con-
sent to their plan from large ms jority of
the security holders, and that if the opposi-
tiOn continues, they will simply have to
proceed under foreclosure, which will give
only principal and interest 20 the first mort
gage bondholders, and that they are ready
to allow that now to any and all parties
who are indisposad to adopt the terms of
their plan.
NOT A PERMANENT OBSTACLE.
Therefore, while the opposition may oc-
casion some delay in the reorganization, it
does not seem probable that it viii avail as
permanent obstacle. On the other hand
representatives of the opposition predict
that foreclosure decree will be hard to
obtain, so long as it can be clearly demon
strated that the road is fully able to earn its
first mortgage interests.

NEW York, Aug. 8.--The officers Of the
steamer George w. Clyde, who arrived
here to-day from Port de Paix Aug. 2, say
that fighting at Port au Prince still COZ
tinues, with little change in affairs. At ST.
Mares it was reported that Gen. Hippolyte
had transported 1000 men to Saletrou,
effecting a landing without opposition, al
though thar region is inhabited by Legltim-
lists The lack Of opposition is attributed to
the scarcity of arms among the residents.
1t was said that Gen Hippolyte proposed
to enroll and eqip them in his service. aud,
if successful in this, he would gain an ad-
vantage over President Legitime, as the
distance across the peninsula to Port au
Prince is not great, and an attack with
considerable force from that quarter might
result IN its capture.

Collins of the necessity of producing
his prisoner in court under habeas corpus

satisfied the contention of Lawyer Kennedy,
by placing the prisoner where his attorney
could communicate with him, the habeas
corpus proceedings were dropped. States

CoIlum is still the reigning sensation in
Minneapolis. Fresh developments are
coming to light in the case every hour. ana
tonight it is known that upwards of ll2
forged notes are afoat in this city. In spite
OF the efforts of his creditors to give the
impression that he isnot guilty of the gigan-
ucforgeries with which he is Charged. .Collum
was arrested late this afternoon upon war
rants sworn out by A. A. Davis, attorney
for Mr.. Blaisdell. The complaint charges
that Colum forged s., 500 five day note.
One OF the other warrants is sworn out by
w. b. Anderson on thirty day note issued
July 6,and third complaint was for IS, 900
note issued June 20.
ARRAIGNED IN COURT.
He was arraigned few moments later in
the municipal court. The Judge finally
refused to release Collum on bail, on ac-
count OF the numerous charges, and he will
pass the night in the city lookup and will be
examined to- morrow. a somewhat sensa-
tlonal theory is being advanced to-day in
connection with the case. Ii is darkly
limited that Collum really intended to com
NIT suicide when he made a desperate
jump out Of the window of Davis & Farm
hams law Office Tuesday afternoon. He
was in frelzied state, and 1t comes from
an acquaintance that he said in the pres
ence OF friends last night that hs was al
most beside himself when the accusations of
forgery were made against him by the
attorneys.
HEAVY LIFE INSURANCE.

1t is pointed out that within the last three

upon bis life to an amount exceeding

placed in the following companies: New
