RETURNED THE POLICY.
Singular Development in the
Thrun Case.

OSHKOSH, Wis, March 16.-There was
a singular and unexpected development
IN the Thrun case today. There came
through the mails to the American Ac-
cident association, of this city, the
company that has been most active
in the matter, the original policy of
$4,000 issued to Thrun. 1t was in
closed IN plain envelope, postmarked
Chicago,a and was unaccompanied by let
ter or explanation. f. j. Thrun, whose
charred bones an intelligent coroner'S
jury found in the ruins of his home at
Romeo, Wis, was brought to Chicago
last evening. He is the man who had
his life insured for $4,000, and then
planned to disappear and have his
widow draw the premiums of the var-
Gus policies. Thrun does not expect a
severe sentence, if he should be con-
victed at all. Only small fraction of
the insurance money, some $4,000, has
been paid>to the supposed widow. The
man charged with the fraud will be
jailed at Wausau to await trial. 1t is
believed Thrun will make a confession
and implicate several conspirators in
his statement

NEW YORK. March 16.-A lawyer who

a fellow employe, and was now living
with him, and he wanted a suit brought
for absolute divorce. The counts wife
denies his allegations of unfaithfuness.

UNHAPPY DREssMAKERs.
Their Trunks Seized by Uncle
Sans NfiniOns,

Sans Minions.
New YORK, March 16.-Four unhappy
dressmakeIs are lowering round the
custom house today waiting to see what
disposal Collector Hendricks is going to
make of their trunks, which, it is
claimed, contain dutiable articles. Miss
Sheeban. the forewoman for Miss LAM
den, Chicago dressmaker, was the
first to have her trunk seized and sent
to the seizure room in the GUS
tom house. Miss Lamden came over
on the Callia, and also brought q trunk.
She too, had it taken away from her and
whisked off to the dingy old quarters on
Wall street. Then came the Saale. with
a modiste from Baltimor aboard in the
person of Miss Lottie M. Barton. Her
baggage suffered the same fate. Finally
Miss Kate Holland, of Chicago, came
along to add her fears of the other
three. These young women claim that
their trunks contain nothing but their
personal effects. Collector Hendricks
has turned the whole matter over to
Deputy Clerk of Law Division Phelp.
The latter has ordered an appraisement
of the goods contained in the trunks
and will not act until this report is re-
ceived. The goods are valued at about
81 000.

CHANGE IN THE SENATE.
1t Is Patent to the Most Inexperi-
enced Observer.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-The change
that has come over the senate was pat
ent to the most inexperienced observers
today. AS soon as the body had adj
journed after its brief session, the army
of officeseehers who have been throng-
ing the corridors for days had the op-
portunity to see their senators, and they
all found their way to the Democratic
side of the chamber. with the result
that nearly every senator seated there
was soon surrounded by a group of
wistful-eyed men, or was obliged, in
self-defense, to flee to the retiring
rooms of the committee rooms. On the
other side of the chamber, the Repub-
lican senators sat at their ease and were
unmolested observers of the scene.
Some of them iokingly complained that
they lost popularity, and the leaders,
who rarely have moment to them
selves. had leisure today 10 sit quietly
and commiserate with their hard-beset
colleagues on the Democratic side.

Former Postmasters' Applications
VIII Not Be Considered.

WASHINGTON, March 16.- Postmas-
