COMPANY G,s ULTTMATUM.
VIII Allow the Killing Brothers $40
Bonus to Pull IN this City.

Bonus to Full IL this City.
So many fakes have been published in
regard to- the Co G tug-of-war team and
their acceptance of the King brothers
challenge, that true statement of the
facts is in order. The papers in New
Haven, Bridgeport and Meriden evidently
think that the Co G team have an
attack of Large head" Well, it is but
natural that a team after having won so
many victories should feel somewhat
elated. Co Gs team never issued a
challenge to the King brothers. L. p.
Bristol wrote from Bridgeport, chal-
longing the Co G team to a match for
500 side. To show that Co G meant
business, purse of $50 was offered Mr.
Bristol to bring his team to Waterbury
to have the pull. 1t was generally
of Bridgeport men. The concluding
arrangements of the match were left in
the hands of Ed L. Maloney,
who drew up a set of articles
which proved the cause of the
hitch and disclosed the identity of
Bristols team. Co G's team did not
even then weaken, but it was at the
teams discretion whether to offer a
bonus or not. The King brothers have
the reputation of being the best team in
the state, aud it is not reasonable to ex-
pect that the Co u team will bet them
$3.50 to 500, when the King brothers
had issued the challenge. Why should
Mr. Bristol ask for $50 extra, since it was
he who sent out the challenge for 800 a
side? Now for final termination of the
difficulty. Co G's team accept the chal-
lenge of the Killing brothers for 800 a
side and will give them $50 bonus if
they pull in Waterbury, If these terms
are not accepted the matter must drop
here. Let it be generally understood
that Co q did not issue challenge to
pull any team in the state for 500, not
withstanding reports to the contrary in
state papers.

DANBURY,s HORSE THIEF.
Efforts to Be Made to Bring Him Back
to Connecticut.

to Connecticut
DANBURY, Feb 27.-Steps have al
ready been taken by the officials here to
make application for requisition papers
in the case of John w. Colburt, charged
with stealing $500 horse and carriage
from the barn of William Thompson,
Tuesday night, and who was arrested at
Brewsters and now lies in the county
Jail at Carmel, N. Y. 1t is probable that
requisition will not be granted by
Governor Hill, as he refused to issue
papers in the case of Pardon, the Wa
terbury burglar. If this is the case, it
is said the prisoner will undoubtedly be
brought to Connecticut without re-
QUESTION, and Captain Heating of Dan
bury, who brings him across the line,
will rely on Governor Bulkeley to refuse
a requisition to have him( Keating)taken
back to New York state on the charge
of taking the prisoner from the state.
New York's penal code provides heavy
penalty for such an act.

Has a Better Opinion of Waterbury
Democrats Than Ever.

Democrats Than Ever.
Senator Cleveland of Hartford, in a
conversation with Representative Root
of this city yesterday, referred to the
fifty indignant Waterbury democrats.
Senator Cleveland declared that he
seldom if ever experienced such feelings
of delight as the reception Of that
telegram brought to him. 1t show
ed, he said, the zeal and watchfulness of
the democracy of Waterbury. 1t DIS
closed the fact that the democrats of
Waterbury were aware of the situation
and allowed not a point to escape them.
Senator Cleveland was earnest in his ex-
pressions and did not feel at all displeas-
ed at the telegram of rebuke.

THE HARMONY OF HATE.

The way to win the affections of a
certain class OF people is to hate whom
they hate. This hatred is bond of
sympathy. 1t doesn't matter whether
the haters have any mutually OF feel
ing or not, if they stand together on
that one point.
This is the only way to account for
the sudden and surprising burst OF ad-
miration for the late Senator Blair
among professional labor agitators,
especially those in the West. They
are down on the Chinese. Blair is
down the Chinese, since they gave
him .Aderstand that he was not the
kind of man they wanted to repre-
sent this country at their imperial
court. So Blair and the laborites are
agreed that ''the Chinese must 60"
The new-found friends and champions
of the late rejected demand that his
wounds be healed by an appointment
as immigration commissioner. His fit
ness for the position is not taken ac-
count of. He might make a good i'm
commissioner or he might
make poor one, but that has nothing
TO do with the case. He hates the
Chinese. They hate the Chinese. So
give him public Office and let him
draw salary from the public crib.

THE CHIEF OF THE ALLIANCE.

Mr.. Polk, president of the National
Farmers Alliance, has fallen a victim
to the interviewer. In answer to uues-
tions put by a reporter, he said that if
the Democrats and the Republicans, or
either OF these parties refused to give
the farmers what they demanded, a
third party would be formed. He has
hopes OF better things from the Fifty
second congress than the Fifty-frst
gave the country. The most pressing
need OF the people is more money. This,
he says, is the paramount question.
Silver legislation in the direction of
free and unlimited coinage would be a
step in the right path, but free and I'M
limited coinage would not supply
enough money. There is not. he SAYS,
man belonging to the industrial
classes who will support any ticket that
does not stand for friendship toward
silver. Cleveland is not satisfactory.
The people of his state will not support
Mr.. Cleveland if he is nominated. and
they do not want an Eastern man for
president. He has no particular man
in view for the presidency, but thinks
the Southern Alliance would like some
clean, patriotic man from the North
west. The Alliance, as an organiza-
ton, can have nothing to do with the
Cincinnati meeting, whic', is called for
the avowed purpose of starting a third
party movement. He does not believe
that it would be polite to take so rad
ical step, and would like to have sem
sible men sent as delegates to the meet
ing to keep it from committing the Al
lance to rash measures.
This is a succinct statement of the
views Of the chief of the Alliance. and |
they show that be takes no stock in the
third party movement though the
farmers will refuse to support the can
didates of either of the two parties that
are worthy Of consideration, unless

Talking Up Fort Worth.

The true Fort Worth man when he goes
away from the city for time never fails to
say good word about his home to those ne
meets. The following is taken from the
Denver News of May Il:
&C. II. K. Smith, secretary and treasurer
of the Fort Worth South Heights invest
ment company, was in the city yesterday
Things in Fort Worth are very prosper
GUS" he said, land great deal of building
Is contemplated. The new city hall is to
cost SlOO, 600, and the government have Sc
lected 4 site for Federal building to cost
$4,000. The largest packing house south
OF Kansas City opened up six months ago,
and has proved so successful that the
directors have decided to double the capac-
lty. a new union depot is to be built which
Will cost 900, on u portion OF the ground
owned by Jay Gould, valued at $500. 900,

Texas and Pacific. About nine railroad
lines Will center there. The Panhandle
country throughout is looking well and
most encouraging, and within the next
ninety days the biggest crop will be gath
cred that has ever been handled there.
THE people of that section always talk
of Denver as the center of the West, Kan
sas City and Omaha not being thought of at
all in that capacity"
Mr.. Smith has just arranged for the cree
ton IN Porter's heights, Fort Worth, of ten
houses to cost $4,000. The company of
which he is an officer owns some 5000 lots,
which are on the market at 1900 apiece, and
he states that they are ready to spend $780,
eco in improvements.

their demands are allowed. If those
demands are held to include an indorse-
ment OF the sub-treasury scheme, it is
very certain that Mr.. Folks people
will have to start political family of
their own. Both the republicans and
Democrats are kindly disposed toward
silver, and their platforms are likely to
show favor to free and unlimited coin
age, and other demands of the farmers
will receive due consideration, but the
sub-treasury folly will not be thought
OF for moment. We very much doubt
If there is an honest majority of the
Alliance in favor of it, and we are very
sure that if the question were put to
the farmers of the country they would
vote it down.

Item plays an unlmportant part in the great
| volume of business transacted The most
notable feature Of the table given is that
showing the wonderful increase in the
amount Of assurance written and the
| amount in force at the periods indicated
above. During the year 1850 thirty-four
companies then reporting wrote slS1, SOL
2j6 OF assurance, while in 1890 thirty COM
panies wrote $3.50. III, 2s3. The aggregate
assurance written 1890 by thirty companies
exceeded by nearly $500, 900, 600 the amount
written IN 1870 by Seyenty-one companies.
The amount of assurance in force increased
s, O66, 9tl, 019 between 1850 and 1890, having
reached the enormous sum of s., 5i2, 955, ,5l
at the close of last year. This immense
development has been of steady growth
year by year, as shown by the table, and is
due to the better education of the people re-
gardlng the advantages OF life assurance, as
well as to the efforts made by managers of
companies to introduce new forms of as
surance to meet the requirements Of those
deserving such protection. The liberal
features now incorporated in many forms
OF Life assurance make them desirable in
yestments as well as q provision for the
family or other benefciaries. The increase
in the volume of assets held by the COM
panles in trust for their policy holders has
kept pace with the increase of assurance in
force. having reached the magnificent sum

panles during the past thirty yearsa The |
table shows that the total premium receipts |
OF the companies from 1861 to 1890 inclusive |
were 81. O61, 923, Sl4; there was paid to policy

ton Of their claims OF in dividends, Sl,4l3,-

held in trust by the companies belonging to
the policy holders, it will be found that they |
have been paid or still own 500, 764. SIT more
than they have paid to the companies. This
is evidence that the money paid by policy
holders has been carefully and judiciously
invested by their trustees. The table shows
that the income of the companies since 1860,
from investments, amounted to S5I7, 14,5 SO. |
During this period the country has eX-
perlenced war, pestilence and famine
besides several financial panicS that have
played havoc with private fortunes, and
with individual and corporate enterprises.
No other financial institutions have so well
weathered the storms and crises that have
swept over the country at intervals, or done
so well by those who put their trust in
them. The life assurance companies of to-
lay have not only demonstrated their right
TO live, but also the fact that they are con-
1ucted in a manner that entities them to the
confidence of the public. The table is in

An Aged Negro Woman Killed by an En-
CINE While Endeavoring to Rescue
Her Little Grandchild.
Special to the Gazette.

Paris, Tex, May 16.-A sad accident oc-
Cured on the Frisco road at Hinkley, eight
miles north OF here. this evening. by which
an aged negro woman lost her life in en-
deavoring to save her little grandchild. She
was an old woman whose name could not be
learned, and was on her way afoot to a
neighbours, and had crossed the railway
track when she heard a freight train
coming and had stopped to look at it. When
she turned around she saw following her,
but not yet at the track, her little grand
danger, was coming right ahead regardless
of the danger. She hurried back to stop the
child, but was not herself quick enough to
pass the track and was struck by the en-
CINE and crushed to death. No blame can
be attached to the train crew, as it would
have been impossible to stop the train in
the distance.

dress. There was but single idea in

that I'VE are all one people," OF course
we are. Who but the radical force bill
DULLES Of down East thought otherwise?
1t needed no president TO come all the
way from the seat OF government. and
rise at half-past six in the morning to
announce the truth so plain and obvious.
Now, the presidents language would
have been much more to the point, if
Ignoring platitudes he gave some ex-
preston to his notions of the partisan
judicial policy of ousting Democratic
governors under the abused forms of
law. in order to maintain Republican
supremacy in the state in defiance of
the expressed popular wish. Doubtless
he would indorse the policy, and as the
bogus beneficiary of it, and multitudes
of his political friends gathered on the
way to greet Benjamin, they would
have been delighted to hear from his
lips: 'Well done, good and faithful
servants; enter We into the enjoyment
OF the political kingdom which your
adversaries, the people, thought to rob
you Of" With what huzzas of applause
would such sentiments be greeted
thought the state where Republican
skulduggery has recently been SO
triumphant.
