THE INSURANCE SCHEME.
The report of the Committee on Insur-
ance was called for, and before the commit
tee reported Mr.. Hammond had read let
ter from the managers of the American
Casualty, Insurance and Security Company
suggesting cooperation between the pro-
posed department of the association and
their organization. This was construed to
mean that the existing insurance companies
did not want the association to institute the
insurance scheme. The committee reported
that it had not been enabled to formulate
plan for the insurance company, and a
resolution was offered providing for the
election of q board of trustees to arrange
the details of the scheme. The board of
trustees, under the report, was to consist OF
ten members, six of whom were to be menu
bers of the Executive Committee. The
committee suggested that the new concern
be called 1.-THE American Boiler Manu-
facturers' Inspection and Insurance Com
pany."
An amendment was offered increasing the
number of shares to be issued to each MEM
Der to number to conform with the number
of members. SO that the stock shall remain
in the hands and control of the association.
The amendment and resolutions were
adopted. The committee. empowered to act,
was appointed, and the convention ad-
Journed.

The Lehigh County Fasting Woman Can
Live But Few Days.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcR.l
ALLENTOWN, July 3.-The condition Of
Lehigh county's fasting woman. Mrs. Adam
Wuchter, Of South Whitehall, is exciting
increased wonder and attention in the
medical profession, and among the in
habitants Of this region. The num-
Der Of visitors at the modest dwelling
occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. Wuchter has
largely increased within the past fortnight.
The doctors now declare that the faster can
not survive many DAYS. Mrs. Wuchter
has taken practically no substantial
nourishment for go days. On Good
Friday, April 4, she tasted food
of a solid character for the last time. Since
that time sup OF beef tea, taken at in
tervals OF several days, has been her sole
source of nourishment. She can't even
drink water now, and is failing rapidly.
When in normal health, about year ago,
Mrs. Wuchter weighed 1876 pounds. Now
she weighs less than 55 pounds. Her body
has hardly pound OF flesh on it, and when
that is consumed, so her physicians say, the
end must come. Commissions rack her
withered frame daily. During these spasms
her knees draw up to her chin and blood
flows from her ewes. Her face becomes
dreadfully convulsed and presents a touch
ing sight.

tion-His search for Her.
No clew has yet been found to the wife
of Jacob Rein, who is supposed to have
eloped with John Boff, from Beltzhoover
borough, Monday night Rein was seen BY
a reporter of THE DISPATCH, yesterday,
and showed visible signs of regret at his
wife's desertion. Mr. Rein stated that the
reports about him abusing his wife were
false, and were given out by malicious per-
sons Mr.. Rein stated, between stifed
sobs, that he was willing to forgive his wife
if she would return. He said:
my wife was fond of going to theaters
and balls, and never liked to go to such
places with her, but Boff would come to my
house and take her, to which /, of course,
objected. This was why quarreled with
her, and because l refused to let her to 90
with Boff, she left me. She did not own
any property, and did not transfer any to
me. The property belonged to her mother,
but was in her name. This she told me /
could sell, in the letter sent to me after she
Left
He stated also that the report that his
wife had sued him before Alderman Bein-
hauer for cruelty was not correct. This
proved true upon investigation being made.
He placed all his money in the bank in
his wife's name, but she did not
take any away with her. He is almost
certain that Boff is with his wife, from
the tact that she packed up all her wearing
apparel in box made by him last week.
He will make an effort to bring his wife
back. He has had copies of her picture
taken, which he will send to the police.
with a photograph of Bof.
Mrs. Bof will sell the handsome residence
in which they lived. The only money she
has now is what Rein paid her for carpenter
work done by her husband. This was paid
her after the couple had disappeared.

Coal Barges Arrive and Taken TO the Up.
per Pool TO be Loaded.
The towboats from down the river commenced
arriving early yesterday morning. and by 8
o'clock last evening the wharf was lined with
them. All the boats had an average tow of
empties, which will be sent to the upper pool
for reloading. The packets carried large
number of passengers. both up and down.
Business will likely be dull after to-day if the
water goes down lower. The rains here and up
the Monongahela have raised the water suf-
ficient to allow the towboats to get in with
empties. No more rain is expected for few
days, and the river will likely go down far
enough to prevent the boats on the way up
from loading. The Market street gauge showed
4 feet inches at o'clock last evening. rise of
10 inches since Wednesday night. At Davis
Island dam. the mark registered feet inches
at the same hour. and rising slowly. This is
one inch higher than on Wednesday night.
Work will be commenced at once on the lower

ten days. The coal fleets in the upper pool are
all made up, and everything is In readiness to
be brought to this pool st the first good water.

what he thought about the financial outlook.
He replied:
Were drawing fully as many people as we
expected to when we started out. We did not
think we'd make any money the first year.
The Cleveland Club may lose some money, bnt
guess all the others will tcome out even or
ahead"
"How about Buffalofr "weIl, they've got
very cheap team there They can play to al
most nobody at all and still get through all
right. Now you take Sam WISE and White,
and Rowe out of the Butfalos, and who've they
got? Nobody. And still they are drawing pret-
ty fair crowds. They beat us two games last
week and that helped their attendance some. 1
don't think Buffalo will be as apt to lose as the
Cleveland club" When asked what he thought
of the plan to play the Fourth OF July games
scheduled for Buffalo at Boston he said:
n"Pm against doing anything of the kind be-
cause it would injure the attendance for the
rest of the season. That's what has hurt the
Pittsburg League team" Referring to the
Brotherhood pennant race, Ewing said: There
are three clubs in the race. They are New
York, Boston and Chicago. Wards team can't
finish above fourth place, and Philadelphia may
crowd them out of that Buffalo is assure tail
ender. The Cleveland Brotherhood team would
be a pretty good one il it was stronger in the

CHICAGO, July 8-Jack Ashton was to meet
Frank Glover tonight at Battery D Armory in
a hard-glove contest, and 1000 people assem-
bled to witness the pugilistIc encounter
The police prevented the men from appearing
however, owing to the fact that when the time
came another pugilist who had participated in
one of the preliminary fights that formed part
of the programme was seriously injured.
The unfortunate was Mike Brennan, of Bos-
ton. who, in clinch with Frank Girard
suffered terrific fall. The back of Brennan's
head struck the floor, knocking him insensible.
He had previously been keeled over repeatedly
by smashing right and left handlers from
Girard. The latter was arrested.
At midnight the death of the injured man
was expected at any time. The fight between
Girard and Brennan. although a m inor affair
to the supposed leading number on the pro-
gramme, was generally known to be "for
blood"
Carroll, Reddy Gallagher and McInernie
have been arrested. Gallagher was referee.
