A Pitiful Death Bed Scene,

At Atlanta Tuesday night, as she
breathed her last, Mrs. John StOrks. the
only sister of the Evangelist Sam Jones,
was the center of the most sOrrowful
group of mOurners that ever surround
ed death-bed. In the same room lay
her husband, sick unto death. unable to
move. Several months ago their only
son, Peter StOrks, a young man promi-
nent in Atlanta's social and business
circles, killed Alphens Cassin, young
gentleman of equal prominence. A
short time before the tragedy young
Storks was married to the daughter of
a leading and wealthy citizen of Allan
ia. No cloud had ever cast shadow
upon his pathway. He was the idol of
his mOther-the companion and friend
Of his venerable father. In an evil hour
under the influence of anger and hatred
he became murderer. He forgot
that not he alone was to pay the penal
ty. He was armed. His enemy gave
offense and he killed him. He has been
convicted once, but obtained a new trial,
which he now awaits, in Jail, where he
has been confined ever since the hOmi-
eide. Every day for month he has re-
ceived' messages from the bedside of
his stricken parents. Tuesday he was
told that his mother was dying and that

his father would probably not long sur
vive her.
In charge of the sheriff the unfortu-
nate man was permitted to spend an
hour in the chamber of death. What
flood of bitter memories must have
poured in upon his breaking heart as he
looked upon the ruin he had wrought!
No wonder nature Shrank from the pitt
full picture which met his eye. 1t was
more than his tortured soul could en-
dure. Entering the room he glanced at
the shrunken form and withered coun-
tenance of his gray-haired father, then
at the poor emaciated woman who lay
there dying of broken heart, and with
a sob which the bystanders will never
forget, sank to the floor, unconscious.
The brief hour sped quickly by. The
felOn was led back to his cell. Death
was left with it's victims.-.St. Joseph

The Election.

Tuesday the 9Th of November the
great American people, free and equal
in citizenship, spoke their will at the
polls. registering their choice for ma
tiOnal ruler. To-day many thousands
are rejoicing at that days doings,
while other thousands are disappointed,
cast down, chagrined.
TO the former we have to suggest
that the country would have been a
country to be proud of if the result had
been the other way. And to the latter
our suggestion is, all true patriots can
still be proud of their country. 1t is
the brightest, happiest land on which
the sun shines. Itwould be still more
glorious land if righteousness which
eXalteth a nation were supreme in all
it's borders. But thanks be to God for
all the good that crowns our America.
Above the triumphs and the defeats of
political parties God reigns.

How a German Train is Started.

According to the Rail1C0y Rerieac an
official of the Pittsburg and Lake Erie
Railroad recently returned from Eu-
rope, referring to railway practice in
Germany, says: "The roadbeds are
about perfect. while the stations are
simply magnificent, even in the most
insignificant places being very fine.
The rOadbeds are quite rigid, but this
is mainly due to the iron and steel cross
ties that are used. The locomotives
are fine pieces of mechanism, but their
capacity is scarcely equal to those on
this side of the Atlantic. Their entire
passenger equipment is away behind
that in use here. Their trains, however,
run like clOckwork, and the connections,
are perfect. The method of starting
trains is altogether unique and peculiar,
and will cause local agents and train
men to smile. The agent is an impOs-
ing, dignitied and Solemn-lOOking Off
ally gilt-edged, and he acts as master of
ceremonies on the imposing occasion.
When the train arrives at station he
is standing bolt upright in an almost
military position, and he is on dress
parade One minute before the train
starts he reaches up and taps gong
three times. Then strange scene takes
place, and it would seem that he had
pressed button, for at the last tap the
conductor, who has been at the rear car,
comes gallOping along the entire length
of the platform, shouting in German
the name of every station the train will
stop at. When the engine is reached he
wheels about, and on his return quickly
closes and locks the car doors. darts
back to the van to his perch on the rear
car, whistles thrice on tin or metal
whistle, which is instantly repeated by
the brakeman at the front end, and the
train starts.

in forms which excite unhOly desires;
or evil literature may consist of fiction

made familiar to the imagination and

As to S. L. Dinkelspiel.

The Superintendent expresses the opinion
that S. L. Dinkelspiel was retained too long
as an agent of the company. Mr.. Dinkel-
spiel secured for us a large amount OF de-
sirable business. The men whom he insured
were among the wealthiest and most influ-
ential in the cities where he worked. 1t
came to my knowledge, however, after 4
time, that his business methods were objec-
tionable, and for that reason, i'll the year
1889, his agency terminated. Mr.. Dinkel-
spiel's contract comes under the gen.
eral illustration cited above, except
that he was personal solicitor only, and
many notifications were made to enable
him to handle the peculiar class OF business
which he wrote. Advances were made for
tile same purpose. 1t is probable, however.
that while there is to-day on our books u
large volume OF business Of the best quality
written by Mr.. Dinkelspiel, a reasonable re-
newal interest will not finally liquidate the
advances made, and that this business will
ultimately cost us more than it should. For
any error in Judgment in employing this
man, as well as for any ultimate loss do
not desire to escape from any proper respon-
sibility.

Two Other Questions Raised.

Mr.. Ioomis L. White, the Superintendent
of Insurance, discusses at some length tile
relations which have existed for about l6
years between the New York Life Insur-
ance Company and Mr. Loomis L. White a
member Of its Board of Trustees and of its
Finance Committee and two questions are
raised. First as to whether or not firm, a
member of which was q member of the
company's Board of Trustees and OF its
Finance Committee could act for it as brok-
ers without having the opinions of such
trustee as to the value of securities colored
by the probable commission which the firm
would receive on such transactions. Sec
ond, whether or not the company had the
right to purchase securities through such
firm of brokers.
The first question may be briefly disposed
of without discussion by a simple statement
Of the results. In the years covered by Mr.
Whites connection with the New York Life
Insurance Company about s65,0o0,0 600 OF Sc
curities have been purchased by the COM
pany's Finance Committee and consider
able proportion OF this through the firm of
which Mr.. White is member, Messrs,
Loomis l.. White Il Co., and on the 30th OF
June last the Superintendent, after vsluing
these securities

found them worth to the company some
thing more than $3,000,000 above the cost
value q which they are carried on the COM
pany's books. Such result Is the Finance
Committees action and in SO far as Mr.
Whites action Influenced. 1t, is an evidence
of the value to the company OF this connec-
ton. The second question is one on which
opinions of counsel differ.
