The sad death Of State Assessor Frank
Gilman last spring has given rise TO an in
law point. II will be rene inferred
that Mr. Gilman was found dead on the
railroad track in New Brunswick, he having
fallen from the platform while passing from
one car to another or standing on the plat
form. Mr.. Gilman had $50 900 life insur-
ance, a large part Of which was in accident
insurance companies, and il is in the collec-
ton Of this that the difficulty has arisen.
Some companies will not pay, claiming that
he died and then fell off instead Of being
thrown and then killed. 1t isquite material
to the accident insurance whether or not he
dead when lie left the train. EI
Governor Davis, a surviving partner, will
sue the Casualty G Fidelity of Ne~ York
and the Mercantile Accident Of Boston in
behalf of Mrs. Gilman for 81, 900 each.

How Two Rival Railroads Tussled for the
Grand Duke Sergius.
tBT CABLE TO THE DIsPAroH.l
LONDON, Nov. 26-The visit Of the
Grand Duke Sergius of Russia to the royal
family this week has been the occasion of
some few festivities The only incident of
interest to the public was the attempt of
two rival railroads to capture His Highness
at Boulogne when en- route to England
The London, Chatham and Dover managers
sent special boats to meet the
royal party and convey them to
Dover. Representatives of the Southeast
ern road succeeded in boarding the train
first, AMI conducted the Duke aboard their
boat which was about to leave tor Folke-
stone. The agent of the Chatham road sue
ceeded in getting aboard, and informed His
Imperial Highness thstahe other boat had
been sent expressly by Her Majesty, the
Queen, to take him to Dover The royal
party disembarked, and started for the
Dover boat.
The Southeastern agents were not to be
robbed OF the royal passenger so easily.
They stopped the now thoroughly bewil-
dered Duke and informed him impressively
that the Queens equerry, with a special
train, was awaiting his arrival in Folke-
stone. Then they took possession of His
Highness and triumphantly escorted him
back to their boat They cast off and
started across the channel before the enemy
could make fresh attack.

rBY CABLE TO THE DIsPArcH.l
LONDON, Nov. 26-An interesting case
before the London courts this week has
been the suit of the Persian Investment
Company against Prince Malcolm Khan to
recover S100, 900 paid on account for lot
terry franchise in Persia The Prince was
the Persian. envoy to Great Britain until he
was recalled, about IS months ago, on ac-
count of various transactions. The Shah,
when removing him, sweetly suggested that
he should come to Teheran and talk over
the subject of their difficulties
Now Prince Khan, as THE DISPATCH
explained at the time, was quite too shrewd
to accept the Shah's invitation. He had
good reasons for believing that Ii he put
loot in the Shah's dominions his earthly
career would reach a sudden period He
has been careful not to leave the protection
OF the English flag, in spite Of suits and
other annoyanceS The lottery concession,
which he sold for $500, 900, was granted by
the Shah in a moment of generosity, while
visiting this country in 1885, On reaching
home the tickle monarch cancelled the
privilege, and it is alleged that Prince
Khan knew of the cancellation when he re-
ceived the payment on account The case
is still on.

Shafer against Henry Shafer it appears that
the proper publication OF the notice a. re-
quired BY the act of Assembly was not
made. The bill Of the libellant
in the case of Catherine Meyer
against Jacob Meyer sets forth "that
the said Jacob Meyer has offered
such indignIties to the person Of your petit
tioner as to render her condition intolera-
bic and her life burdensome," but fails to
add ''and thereby forced her to withdraw
from his house and family" which the
Court considers the important element Of
this ground for divorc and holds that it
was an essential part OF the offense and
must be alleged and proven.
In the case of Andrew johnson against
Sarah Johnson, the Court says there was no
allegation in the petition or proof in the tes-
tImony to show that the plaintiff was q resi-
dent of this county and the commissioner
had no right to 60 outside of the county to
take testimony without authority from the
Court. The facts upon which the divorce is
asked are capable OF satisfactory proof and
such should be furnished
Divorces were granted In the cases Of
Jennie Wandless against James Fl. Wand
less, for deserton; Jane E. Cunliffe against
Peter Cunliffs, for desertion; Sarah A.
Dearden against Alfred Dearden, cruelty;
Walter Cridge against Mary Cridge, inf
deity.
Three new suits were entered yesterday,
They were: Eva Dickel vs. Charles Dickel,
de3ertion; George L. Francis vs. Mary
Francis, in6delity, and Oras D. Delo vs..
Charles H. Delo cruelty and desertion.

island. How Selkirk lived and the man
ner in which he employed his time on the
solitary island are events graphically de-
scribed by Defoe. Four years and four
months passed, until, in 1709, Davis, who
was commander Of the Duke privateer, one
of Lord Anson's squadron, came to Cum
berland Bay, and once again Selkirk found
himself In company with people who spoke
his own tongue and treated him kindly.
Until he became sure Of the nationality OF
the strangers, who he imagined were Span
iards, he refused to visit them at their en-
campment, but hearing them speak En-
gIish he Joined the party and LETT in their
vessel his island home. Thus In brief is
tary group.
The Most Interesting Spots.
Without doubt that part of the island
most interesting to visitors is the site of the
old forts and buildings erected by the
Spaniards, situated at Portezuelo and Puerto
Ingles, where Selkirk lived. The city
founded by the Spanish commander was
called La Ciudad de San Juan Bautista-
The foundations of the fort are still visible,
while number Of ancient cannon lie buried
amid dense growth OF gigantic ferns and
semi-tropical vegetation. Two small forts,
one at Goldfish Point (Punta Bacdlao), the
other, under Goat Hill, are still remaining
in partial preservation, the smooth and
regularly laid masonry testiiying to the
careful work Of a,past age. There we're two
cities or settlements, one on the level
plateau where the cemetery now exists, the
other in the valley leading to the Gordon
Sal-se- -Puedea Visitors can still decipher
many OF the epitaphs that remain legible
on the ,tombstones erected to the memory
OF those who died on the island during the
last portion OF this century.

joymept of health but three days ago, are
now cold in death.
Tuesday morning word reached here that
Joseph Hounder, q prosperous farmer, had
suddenly died Of heart disease. On
Wednesday the information also reached
here that Miss Agnes Bhear, sister Of
Hounder's wife, had died In the same man
ner. Hounder was buried Thursday, but
pending the burial of Miss Bbear, letter
written BY her was found which throws
some light on the tragedy, and the funeral
was postponed until the Coroner could be
summoned and an inquest held.
While the letter does not own that the
writer was the cause of Hounder's death,
it gives directions that she should be buried
by his side and shows clearly that she con-
templated suicide. At the scene of the
double tragedy to-day hundreds of people
gathered and the excitement was intense.
Hounder had but just arisen on the
morning of his death and had taken moth

neapolis, he married younger sister, He
was a popular young man IN prosperous
circumstances, without an enemy in the

his former sweetheart, leads to the belief
that her unrequited love prompted her to
take his life as we'll as her own. 1t is prob
able that the remains of Hounder will be
exhumed and that the inquest now in ses-
sion will also examine into the cause of his
death.
