MALONE AS A PEACEMAKER
Reconcillations the Order of the Day With
the Virginian.

ReconcilIations the Order of the Day With
the Virginian.
RICHMOND, VA, July 31.-Gen. Ma
hone as a bearer of the olive branch is
bran-new wrinkle in Virginia Repub-
lican politics. Heretofore Malone has
been known only as a tenacious fighter
and leader who was always ready to
permit his lieutenants to make conceS-
sions, but never did anything in that
line himself. His new roll is just bit
startling to the veteran politicians.
The 'old man" has begun a campaign
of harmonizing. He and ex-COngress-
man Bowden, Of the Norfolk district,
who have been fighting one another like
Kilkenny cats, have just reached an
amicable understanding. A few weeks
ago the Chairman of the Republican
State Committee and John NJ. Langston,
whom he defeated for Congress In the
Petersburg district in 1855, smoothed
over their differences. MaEone and the
colored leader are now seemingly work
ing In harmony.
The peace-making OF Malone simply
means that he is getting his machine In
order to take advantage Of the division
in the Democratic ranks which the
third party may create. II confirms,
too. the indications that the Republi-
can leaders and some OF the prominent
Peoples Party men are gradually under
standing each other. A prominent Al
lance man OF this State is authority for
the statement that a well-known Peo-
ple's Party leader of the Petersburg
district recently held long conference
with Malone. What transpired at that
little meeting has not been stated.
The Democrats are fully Informed OF
the situation and will conduct the cam
paign on lines which promise the best
results.
The third partyites do not expect to
poll any considerable vote for their
Electoral ticket in Virginia. What
they are working for is TO secure mem
bers of Congress. If any deal is made
between their side and Malone it will
be on this basis. If Malone puts his
shoulder to the wheel in this struggle
the public will understand that it will
be with a thorough agreement with
Harrison, or those who can speak for
him, that in the event Of Harrison's
election the Virginia Chairman is TO re-
ceive political reward for his efforts.
Malone is strictly business in political
matters.

ISAnEouATE SERVICE.
some Tall Kicking over the Running OF
Electrie Motors.

EAcClflo MOtoFe
The service Of the electric motors
Yesterday was very unsatisfactory. The
experiment of running all motors
through from BenwOOd TO the northern
terminus was tried, but did not improve
matters. The unsatisfactory nature OF
the service yesterday was due partially
to this cause, but more TO the unusually
large number of motors which "burned
out" and had to be taken to the barn TO
be repaired.
At any rate patrons Of the road did a
great deal Of tall kicking. Nor was the
kicking confined 70 the patrons, for the
conductors were obliged to carry more
than the usual number Of passengers on
each trip, owing TO the long period Of
time intervening between cars, and
they were naturally not in an enviable
frame of mind. People waited for cars
az Twelfth, Fourteenth aud Sixteenth
streets last evening, In some instances
for over forty-fve minutes and the
crowd constantly increasing, all could
not board the car when 10 arrived. Then
another diSagreeable wait OF half hour.
To say that passengers were indignant
is 20 draw IL mildly.
The new management OF the road Is
doing all in its power TO give It's pa
irons better service, and some OF the
changes already made 10 that end meet
with popular approval. With poor
cars, poorer power, and poorest system,
10 is not possible to make frst-clasS
road IN a week, or month.

IRoN HALL ATTACHED.
A Receiver Asked for-Charges OF Irregu-
larity,

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, July 31.-Albert
r. Baker, Homer A. Sampsell and Dan
iel w. Knefiler, who. through their at
torney, Winter & Elan, filed a COM
plant yesterday against the Supreme
Sitting Of the Order OF Iron Hall, ask
ing for the appointment Of a receiver,
stated that there were 1000 branches
throughout the Union with member
ship Of 10000.
Tie plaintiffs added that they be-
lieved the order 70 be insOlvent because
10 was indebted for maturing benefits
for the remainder of the year 1892 OF
over 81, 900, 900. and for sick and disabil
ity benefits 1925, 900; far 1898, for ma
turing benefits, 81, 200, 600, and for sick
and disability benefits, S6j0000; for
1894, maturing benefits, SG,0O0,000, and
for sick and disability benefits, $780,,
600; for 1895, maturing benefits, $4,000,
600, and for sick and disability benefits,
$3.50, 900.
II was alleged that the reserve fund
amounts to 81, 200, 600, only-One-Seventh
OF which was available each year for
the payment OF liabilities; that the
property Of the order amounted to about
81 600. 600, aud that the assets were
largely composed OF cash, more than
half of which was on deposit in bank
outside Of the State, OF which K. d.
SOmerby, Supreme Justice, was preSi-
dent, and j. Henry Hayes, cashier, the
latter being Supreme Trustee Of the
order.
The plaintiffs also alleged that large
sums OF money have been expended for
travelling expenses and payment Of pre-
tended claims, the sum OF $500 hav-
ing been wasted in that way in the last
year. It was further charged that large
sums Of money have been taken from
the reserve fund and placed in the gem
eral fund, which amounts were lost 10
the benefCiarles and members; that
SOmerby, 10 order TO keep this fact a
secret, caused alterations 20 be made In
the books and accounts Of the order.
The further claim was made that he
appropriated charter fees and money
received from the officers Of the local
branches. Ii was also alleged that the
constitution has been violated mas
much as there has been no meeting Of
the executive committee since 1890, and
that no report OF the financial condition
of the order has been made 10 the
member since that year. 1t was
further stated that special meet
ing was held in 1891, at which
SOmorbY's salary was increased from
ST, 900 TO $40, OGO per annum, and that
this fact was kept from the members Of
the local branches.
Tn conclusion the compliments asked
for the appointment Of a receiver, say
ing that II the management Of the az
fairs OF the order were left In the hands
Of the present management the mem
bers would derive no benefit what
ever.
Somerby has not been in indianapolis
since January. He is supposed TO be in
Philadelphia.

CARRIED OFF BY A BALLOON.
Benjamin Longs Thrilling Experience
and Happy Escape.


and Happy Escape.
WORCESTER, Mass, July 31,-CrOwds
who came TO see Prof. Blonde Willie's
balloon ascension last night witnessed
a sight they will not soon forget. A
heavy thunder storm came up and the
balloon escaped from the crowd trying
TO hold TO. One luCklesS spectator, Ben
iamin Long, was caught by the right
foot in a loop Of the anchor rope and
carried heayenward head down. The
ballon shot upward. Long was Swayed
TO and fro in mis- frantic endeavors to
get into the parachute.
Two thousand waited with bated
breath 10 see the uulUcky man Drained
on house chimney or dashed to death
on the ground. From the very first
Long made efforts 90 save himself. His
poor old mother, who was In the crowd,
was almost paralyzed with horror as
she saw her son hanging by his foot.
Ear uD in the gloom and darkness flash
es OF lightning revealed his position in
the air, and Just when death seemed
certain from collision with the Y. NJ. c..
A. boat house be caught by chance the
cutoff rope on the parachute and
dropped like a shot for Fifty feet.
Then as the big umbrella filed he
sailed out on Lake QuinSigamond,
struck the water, diSentangled his foot
and swan ashore, and was at once the
hero OF the crowd.
After he regained his compOsufe he
said that the sensation of being dragged
up head down was horrible, and that he
expected every minute that his loot
would slip and he would be dashed TO
death on the ground.

1.-THE velocity of the elght-inch pro-
iectiles in this trial was the same as In
the two former trials, The FIVE projec--
tiles fred at each plate in the case OF
the two previous trials consisted OF one
eight-inch and four six-inch projectiless,
while I'm the present case eight-inch
projecties alone were used. The COM
parison may be best expressed by stat
ing that the total energy received by
this plate was 25,040 tons. fully so per

FOR INSURANCE COMPANIES.
An Important Decision by the Supreme
Court of Michigan.

Court of Michigan.
LANSING, Mich, July 3l.-One OF
the most i'm portant decisions relative to
the liability of insurance companies
ever rendered has been filed in the SUI
preme Court in the case of Mitchell vs..
The St. Paul German Insurance Co.
Mitchell was engaged in the manufac-
ture and sale Of lumber ct Crooked
Lake, when fire destroyed his manu-
featured lumber valued at $4,000,
upon which he carried an insurance OF
S133. 500 under concurrent policies.
The market value Of the lumber
was SlO.64 per thousand, but the ad-
justers would allow only the attual cost
of producing, inasmuch as Mitchell was
manufacturer, or $500 per thousand
less than the market value, claiming
that be was not entitled to recover on
the profits. Jnstice Long, who wrote
the opinion, maintained that the con-
tract must be. construed the same as
though the insured had no stumpage or
mill OF their own and would have TO 90
into the open market TO replace the
lumber destroyed.

BETHLEHEM, PA, July 31.-The first
armor-plate test made on the proving
grounds OF the Bethlehem Iron Com
pany took place yesterday. The plate
tested was a ten and half inch Har-
veyized nickle-steel plate, eight feet by
six, aud weighed 600 pounds. In
tempering the plate it was treated with
the ice-water process, which rendered
its surface exceedingly hard and brittle.
Five shots from an eight-inch rifed
gun were fred at the plate; four in the
corners and the fifth in the center. The
charges consisted OF S154 pounds Of
powder and a 250-pOund Hotter pro-
jectile. The velocity Of the projectlle
was l 700 feet second.
Each projectile pierced the plate
about three inches, re6ounded, and
broke into bits the size Of walnutS.
No: single crack was developed in the
plate.
The test was witnessed By Commo-
dore Folger, Chief OF the Bureau OF
Ordnance: John Fritz, Superintendent,
and r. w. Davenport, Assistant Super
intendent OF the Bethlehem Iron Works,
and the Government army and navy
Inspectors.
The success Of the test surpassed
the expectations Of al present. Lieut..

who had charge OF the shooting, said
after the test: Comparing this test
