TAKEN TO THE SUPREME COURT
Result OF a Chicago Suit to Recover
Policy Against q Hartford lnsur-
ance COMPANY.
CHICAGO, June 12.-The law suit of Car
rie N. Richardson against the Travellers
Insurance company of Hartford, Conn, to
recover on an insurance policy taken out
by her deceased husband, was put on trial
before Judge Blodgett this morning. The
policy provided for payment in case of
death from "violent and accidental means.n
On the back of the policy is a provision
that the policy does not cover death from
taking poison or inhaling gas. Richardson
was found dead in hotel and the open
gas jet indicated the manner of death,
The company declined to pay, claiming that
the section on the back of the policy re-
LEASED it from liability. The widow sued
to recover, and when the case came to be
heard to-day the company entered into
stipulation that the case be taken to the
supreme court. The attorney for the com
pany said the case was the first of its kind
to go to the supreme court, which would
decide once for all whether life insurance
are liable for ''hotel deaths, " as
they are called.

A BIG EXPLOSION.
"A HIG EXPLOSION.
How a Large Region In Kentucky
Was Aroused.

AAVsS - AoISc KAeSAOn IN AentuCkY
Was Aroused.
CINCINNATI, June 12-Those who were
abroad this morning early were surprised
by sudden glare in the southern heavens.
It was clear, bright light, SO bright, in
fact, that people on Vine street as far up
as the canal could easily read u newspaper.
The entire fire department was aroused
through the action of various private
policemen, who thought fire had occurred
upon their beats.
Investigation showed that the glare was
caused by the explosion of a tank of gaso-
line on the tracks of the Louisville and
Nashville railroad at Wilder's station,
about a mile back of Newport, KY. The
tank was one of the tubular affairs that
are carried on cars, and contained at least
1900 gallons. Just what caused the ex-
plosion is not known, but it is probable
the excessive heat of the day caused q VIOLA
tile gas to ascend, which was ignited by a
spark from an engine.
The explosion woke up every sleeper in
Newport, Dayton and Covington, and the
shock was felt for ten miles around.

THE ARGENTINE REPUBLIC.

Return of Destitute Emtgrants to
England-Cases of Starvation Re-
ported.
SOUTHAMPTON, Eng, June 12.-Over 300
families have arrived here by steamers
from Buenos Ayres, having been forced to
leave in consequence of the stoppage of
work there and the lack of money. Near
ly all are entirely destitute and the South
ampton authorities were obliged to pro-
vide them with food and other necessaries.
There are many Irish families among them
who were in special need of relief.
Some of them report distressing condi-
ton of affairs in the Argentine Republic
owing to the recent financial disturbances.
The foreign population, large numbers of
whom emigrated there in obedience to the
glowing promises of highly paid labor, are
said to be in some cases actually dying of
starvation, as they are practically shut out
from all work, and can earn no money
either to sustain themselves or to enable
them to leave the country.

Continuance of the Attacks on the

LONDON, June 12.-Dispatches from
Shanghai announce fresh excuses on the
part of the anti European element in the
population of China. The attacks on the
Christian missions in the interior continue.
In one case the Chinese troops sent to re-
press the rioters sided in with them and
made matters still worse. More serious
rioting has occurred at Takatang, where the
female missionaries were compelled to flee
for their lives. They have arrived at Kin
Kiang, one of the treaty ports on the
Yang tse- Kiang river. There is great ex
element among the Chinese living in the
vicinity of Lake Poyang, near Kin -K;ang.
Several missionary establishments have
been looted and burned to the ground.

New BEDFORD, Mass, June 13.-Some
new developments have come to light to-
day in the johnson murder case. A patrol
man on the beach at Priests Cove found
an oar to-day, which looks as if it might
have belonged to a large boat like the one
in which the tragedy was committed. The
large oar generally carried in that boat is
missing, and it is thought that Fletcher
might have hoated ashore on it, the wind
being right This morning Charles Hall,
resident of Fairhaven, saw a negro skulk-
ing at the edge of some woods. When the
latter saw that he was observed he hurried
out of sight. Anther resident of Fairhsven
recalls to mind that she saw q colored man
early Tuesday morning at the railroad
crossing in that town. The description
given by the lady resembles description
given of Fletcher. Mrs. Fletcher says she
is sure her husband was drowned or muir
dered, having had dream to that effect
last night. Aarsden will be taken before
the district court tomorrow morning.

Some Startling Evidence Produced

PHILADELPHIA, July 12.-Some very

afternoon, and prominent United States
officials names were brought into the case
in an unexpected manner. Assistant Bank
Examiner Jones, who is very close to Bank
Examiner Drew, testified that on the 18th
day of last February Comptroller of
the Currency Lacey was in this
Keystone bank building, and was
shown the books and given a full insight
into its condition as known at that time
by Bank Examiner Drew. Another SEN
sation was the statement made by General
Louis Wagner, the ex-director of public
works, that Assistant Secretary Nettleton
had attempted to make Nelson F. Evans,
director of the Spring Garden National
bank, personal friend, receiver of the
broken Keystone bank. These two

ALIEN LAND LAW.
A Number of Amendments Suggested
which will Modify the Obiectiona
BILE Features of the Measure.
CLERURNE. TEX. July 70, 1891.

CLEBURNE. TEX. July 20, 1891.
To the Editor OF the Gazette.
The alien land law passed by the legisla-
ture is too severe, and should be amended.
Under its provisions no alien, or firm in
which he is represented. can now acquire
title TO lands in Texas. The Federal gov
eminent has entered into treaties with
other nations, giving their citizens the right
to engage in all legitimate business enter
prises in this country, and has guaranteed
unto them the protection of the government.
Under such treaties aliens have engaged
with our citizens IN various commercial
pursuits. and are now associated with them
in most all kinds of trades and professions.
A citizen of the state may become indebted
to an alien. or firm in which he is repre-
sented. and not be able to pay his debt, but
owns real estate and may be willing to sur
render il in satisfaction of the debt, but
under the law neither the alien or his firm
could accept the deed, because the deed
would be void. The law in many cases will
practically deny the administration of jus
tice. and prevent the enforcement of both
legal and equitable contracts entered into
between the citizens of our state and the
citizens of other nations. The law operates
as an injustice TO the foreign immigrant.
He is regarded as an alien until
he files MS declaration TO become
citizen of the United States, but
under the laws OF congress ne cannot 90
this until he shall have resided in this
country for two years. Under the act of
the legislature even the state cannot sell
the foreign immigrant enough school land
upon which to build him house for two
years after he comes to Texas. The law
now proposes to shelter him under
'.hospitable sky until he shall become, III
part. citizen of the United Suites The
act drives foreign capital out of the state
and thereby destroys the competition be
tween it and domestic capital. The rate Of
interest is now much cheaper in the state
than it was few years ago Money no
longer brings from 3 to :, per cent per
month. Foreign capital has contributed
much to bring about this result. Under its
influence our cities have grown, railways
have been built, and the agricultural and
mineral resources of the state have been
greatly developed. Considering the
financial policy of the Federal government,
the condition of the people of the state will
compare favorably with the condition of the
people of any other state. The protective
tariff and the contraction of the currency
has imposed heavy burdens upon the peo
pie.
A feeling of unrest and distrust has taken
possession of the public mind. and conf
dence in all business undertakings has
weakened. Times indicate that the worst
