themselves in the water in gay bathing
dresses, when a maltese kitten of an in
quiring turn of mind walked deliberate

congregate and sat down near the edge
of the float. Skipper, with the sagacity
of st. Bernard, saw his little feline
companions danger, and running down
to the float caught pussy by the back
of the neck and started back to the
bathing houses. He dropped the res
cued cat down at the feet of his master,
wagging his bushy tail and looking up
at the captain, as much as to say: 81

EXPOSING a FRAUD.
StartH ng Disclosures Regarding q p,

ssartH ng Disclosures Regarding Penn
syIvania Insurance Company.
READING, Pa, July 29.-In the Court of
Common Pleas of Berks County bill in
equity has been filed signed by a num-
Der of policy holders of the Standard
Mutual Live Stock Insurance Company
of this city.
The startling charge is made that
the company was organized for fraud.
The company got into trouble about
two years ago, and as a result of the fl
ing of bill in equity by Aaron B. Wood,
the Court of Common Pleas of Berks
County appointed Peter w. Fisher re-
ceiver.
VIM. Fighter Fisher was retained as
attorney by the petitioners and other
policy holders about a month ago. He
says that during his investigation ono of
the reasons that made him suspect fraud
was the discovery that one of the mana
gers of the company had been dipping
into graveyard insurance.
The Mutual Company was started i'll
1885, and is now said to have outstand-
ing policy holders, who reside priuci,
pally in Philadelphia and neighborine
portions of New Jersey and Penn sy
vania, to the amount of 100000.

FOUGHT A SEA MONSTER.

Greenport Captain Tells q Strange
story of a Recent Experience.
Capt Edward Reeve has the contract
to light the beacon on the breakwater
every night, says a Greenport cerre-
spondent of the New York World. He
is an industrious and reliable man, not
looked upon as one likely to see visions
or deal in blood-curdling sea yarns.
Every day as the sun is sinking he
rows in little skiff to the breakwater
and, after lighting the beacon, pulls
back up the bay. In the morning he
rows down the bay, puts out the light,
and cleans and fills in preparation for
the night.
The other morning, the captain
says, while pulling leisurely toward the
breakwater, he was attracted by a COM
motion in the water near him. He
rested on his oars and looked to see
what it was. He saw what looked like
the hard shell back of monster sea
turtle. A moment later he saw the
head and eyes of the strange object.
AS the head protruded above the sur
face the water was churned into foam
by the Tapping Of what appeared to be
long fiippers. The head of the marine
animal, the captain says, was covered
with protruding horns.
The monster came toward the boat
and apparently meditated an attack,
when the captain hit it with an oar. IT
paid no attention to this assault, but
ran it's head against the boat with a
force that caused the sliff to keel over.
The captain weighs over two hundred
pounds, and managed to keep the boat
right side up. Then the fight became
fierce. The tide was carrying the con-
testants toward the breakwater. One
after the other the oars were broken by
the captain by striking on the hard
back of the monster. Finally, without
anything to defend himself, the captain
managed to throw moose over a pro
jecting rock on the breakwater, and sc
pulled himself ashore.
The monster continued it's attacks on
the poat and remained in the vicinity
for some time after the boat had been
drawn up out of the way. When last
seen the ferocious marine monster was
churning the water into foam as it sped
off toward Gardeners island. The cap
tain puts the monster down as a sea
turtle, but of enormous size.

ELLIOTT FOUND GUILTY.
The Jury Bring in a Verdict of Murder in
the Second Degree.

the Second Degree.
COLUMBUS, O., July 29.-After being
out five days the jury in the Elliott MUIR
der trial rendered verdict that William
j. Elliott had been found guilty of MUIR
der il the second de gree for the killing
of Albert G. Osborn, on the 23d of Febru-
ery last.
When the verdict was announced the
prisoner pulled his Grand Army button
from the buttonhole in the lapel of his
coat, and threw it at the jury. Instead
of weakening, Elliott grew more re-
venReful and his face took on a look of
widest anger.
Notice of motion for a new trial was
made, and so sentence was not passed.
The Court fixed Saturday as the time
for hearing arguments on the motion for
a new trial.
By the laws of Ohio murder in the
second degree is punishable by life i'm
prisonment, the court having no alterna-
tive in the matter.
The verdict is no surprise as the long
wait of the twelve men in their room had
given out the impression that there was
some doubt as - the grade of the crime,
and if there was not some disagreement
the verdict would be as rendered.

PENSION COMMISSIONER RAUM an
nounces that he is about to increase the
already large pension list by dumping
35O. 900 original cases upon the various
pension agencies during the present
wear. With the pension expenditures
amounting already to over $12O,OOO,OOO
ner annum, these threatened new cases
will make figures reach nearly 5000, OOO,-
900. This is the awful drain which has
been imposed upon the country by the
reckless legislation of the last congress.
There should be no craftsmanship upon
the question of pensions. Every one
comedies that those disabled in the SER
vice of their country should be cared
for by the government. But the great
est possible precautions should be taken
to exclude from the pension rolls all
those not justly entitled to be gratefully
remembered by the country. 1t is prob
able that there are already thousands OF
bogus claims, and that under the de-
pendent pension bill the number OF
fraudulent cases will greatly increase.
In their reckless bid for the soldier vote
the republicans have opened wide the
channels of fraud and imposed an in
creased load upon the already burdened
taxpayers. Under Harrison's admins
tration the pension Office has become a
den of corruption.
