Insnrnnoe of Babies.

One Of the hourishing industries of
New York is the insurance of babies.
More than one company is engaged in
the traffic, and it produces lucrative
income. The sum paid is usually cents

70 trot about in a lively fashion to make
anything like decent income. The sys-
tenn is productive of good in 80 far that
It assures very poor people against being
put to extremes in the event of death
in the family. On the other hand, the
possible and even probable abuses are
obvious. for it gives heartless parents a
direct personal interest in the death OF
one who is entirely at their mercy.

A Big SENSATION At POCAHONTAS.
Miss MiHta NICHOLS and her Alleged ADduC-
tOrS-TTial Before The Committing Court.

Mr.. William Nichols of Alcorn
County, Miss, has a pretty sixteen
year old daughter named Minta
She is a blonde with light hair, but
beautiful black eyebrows and fault
less figure. Last February, she
left the parental roof on account o.
the alleged cruelty OF her father tc
her and her mother. For months
it was not known where she was
1t however afterwards developed
she had been to Memphis and also
to Corinth and in very questionable
company at the latter place, She
seemed madly in love with John
Crumm and j. H. Kincaid, neigh
Dor boys in Alcorn county. These
boys went to Pocahontas afterwards
where they obtained employment.
Last Saturday the father of the
girl swore out states warrants char
gIng Crumm, Kincaid and Thomas
Stone with having abducted his
daughter Minta for purposes of
prostitution. Under the Tennessee
Law this Is high felony punishable
by imprisonment ID the penitenti-
sry not less than ten nor more than
t@entY-one years. Upon the war
rant the defendants were arrested
and brought for trial before j. Y.
Reed, Esq, at Pocahontas. the
case attracted widespread attention
on account of its Importance and
novelty and sensational features.
Inge and Burge, of Corinth, repre-
sented the state in the prosecution
and Frank Fentress, Esq, appeared
for the defendants. The commit
ting court adjudged that there was
probable cause to believe the defen-
dants guilty, and Crumm and Kin
cald, being unable to give bail bond
were brought to Bolivar Tuesday
night by Sheriff Foote and commits
ted to Jail. Stone was more fortu-
nate and readily gave bond. 1t was
charged that defendants by threats
and menaces abducted the girl from
her father, at the home of Mr.. Cox,
in this county, where she had been
temporarily left by her father. The
defendants contended there was no
abduction; that she voluntarily left
her father and came to them and
refused to return to her father,
st ating that she had rather die than
90 back with him. She testified as
a witness for her alleged abductors
that she had never been forcibly or
unwilingly kept or held by them;
but that she voluntarily went to
them and desired to stay with them.
She is well grown and appeared not
at all embarrassed by her delicate
and compromising situation, but
