A BIG SHORTAGE.
An Indiana Insurance Company Suffers
Heavy Loss.

Heavy Loss.
LA PORTE, Ind Dec. lathe affairs
of the Knox Mutual Insurance COM
pany are in chaotic condition. The
examination of the books of the COM
pany revealed shortage of upward of
$l2O,O 200. The continued absence of
three principal officers of the corpora
ton has only served to make the col
lapse complete, and to disclose to the
policy holders the result of misplaced
confidence.
The failure of a bank could not have
caused greater CONSERVATION. Knox is
village of 1000 inhabitants, the coun-
ty seat of Starke county, and the fire
insurance company bearing the town
name was its pillar of strength
in the commercial world. George
A. Scott, president and treasurer;
Benjamin Andrews, secretary, and
Cornelius w. Green, expert ac-
countant, are reported missing. Scott
was ostensibly called east on business
connected with the company. Secretary
Andrews, who represented Scott in his
absence, found the need of assistance,
and Cornelius w. Green, an expert ac-
countant, was engaged. Andrews then
disappeared and last Tuesday Green
was summoned to the southern part of
the state to settle u loss.
The leaving OF the affairs of the COM
pany without an official head caused
speculation to be indulged in by the
board of directors, composed of lead
ing business men of the town, and
the result of secret meetings was
Il careful investigation of the
books of the company. The discov-
cry was made that the funds avail
able were in possession of the officers,
and that every step in the management
of the business had been directed TO the
collection of policy premiums. The
work of Green and his associates was
to this end, and the success of their un-
dertaking is apparent when it is stated
that every available dollar was col
| lected.
In the meantime numerous messages
| of inquiry have been received from
| policy holders. 1t is possible that the
| aggregated value of policies placed by
the company will reach So, 600, 900. The
business prospered under Scotts man
| agement. The board of directors have
taken steps to have the books thor
oughly investigated.
The company made little effort to Sc
cure business in Indiana, the field of it,
operations being largely in the western
states. Since sober Judgment has as
serted itself, the causes leading to thu
collapse of the company are readily ap
parent. The three officers lived in lux
ury, are said to have speculated large
ly and to have indulged many wilc
fancies.

GUARDING THE QUEEN.
LIiiuokalanI Seeks and Is Given Protec-
tion by President Dole.

tion by President Dole.
HONOLULU, Nov. %, via San Fran
cisco, Dec. tl.-No positive knowledge
has yet transplred as to Minister
Willis instructions or intended action.
1t is the general belief now that he
came expecting to restore the ep-queen
to the throne either directly or by
intervention of popular vote. 1t is
also believed that serious objections
to such a course have caused the delay
and reference to Washington. The
mystery is still maintained and the ap-
prehension created has produced great
disturbance and irritation in the public
mind.
Among the obstacles to restoration
is the refusal of the queen herself, un-
less she receives the strongest guaran-
tees that the United States forces will
maintain her upon the throne, knowing
that she would otherwise be i'm
mediately overthrown again and Sc
verely dealt with. Again, some 1,500
rifles with ammunition are in private
hands, chiefly Americans, ready to re-
move her at the earliest possible op-
portunity. Furthermore, the provis-
lOnal government lS dpSoluCely ue-
termined to make no concessions
and will firmly maintain its posi-
tion, yielding 1t only to actual war
made upon it by superior forces of the
United States. Added to these OBJ
stacles it is well known that Admiral
Irwin and the officers under him are
reluctant to make war probably involv-
ing bloodshed upon American people OF
Honolulu, their own friends and daily
associates.
Since adyices by the schooner Tran
sit, which sailed three DAYS ago, the eX-
queen has applied to the provisional
government for protection, claiming
that she fears violence from foreign
residents, The government at once
I granted her request and detail of si1
policemen was ordered by the marshal
The government has informally init
mated to the American minister that il
is amply able to repress any disorder
and wishes no troops to be landed.

BOLD ROBBERY.
Cashier of the Stamp Department. of tho

Cashier of the Stamp Department. of tho
Chicago Post Office Assaulted by n Rob-
ber and Robbed of n Large Amount of
Money.
CHICAGO, Dec. 13.--Andrew J. Robert
son, cashier of the wholesale stamp de-
partment in the post office at the gov
ernment building, was found by X.
Zimmerman and Miss Marie Jones,
two clerks employed in the mailing de-
partment, lying on the floor of his
Office in pool of blood about 10 o'clocll
last night. Medical aid was at once
summoned and when Robertson had
sufficiently recovered he made a state
ment, saying that at about 7:30, while
he was engaged in balancing up his
accounts, some one appeared at his
window and asked him how he was
coming out Robertson replied that
he thought he was all right. The
stranger said that he had sent his boy
for stamps during the day and that
Robertson had given him too many
and that he would return them if Rob-
ertson would open the door, When the
man gave private rap used by the
clerks in the building the door was
opened.
AS soon as the robber was inside the
Office he attacked Robertson and Il ter
rible conflict ensued. Money was
scattered all over the Office, one pack
age of $500, one of $500 and one of $500
were found. So far the police have no
clew to the robber.
After knocking Robertson down, the
robber quickly closed the door of the
Office which led into the corridor of the
building and turned the key in the
lock. He then took from the desk all
of the money except three packages
which the cashier had been counting.
He did not escape through the door,
but instead raised the sash OF the win
dow and climbed out.
The exact amount of money taken is
not yet known, but it is said by gov
ernment employees that the sum would
reach $1,000. Robertson was taken to
the Presbyterian hospital, where the
physicians said that his wounds were
dangerous
The police force of the city, as well
! as the secret service men of the gov
ernment are searching the city for the
robber, but it is believed that he has
left town. as he had four hours start.
Some of the post Office employees be
lieve that the amount secured by the
robber will exceed $1,000. 1t is said
that the receipts of the stamp depart
ment some days reach S25, 900, and it il
possible that much was secured by the
robber.

Ex-Congressman Murphy, of Iown, Passes
Away mt Washington.
WASHINGTON, Dec. l3.-Ex-Congress-
man Jerry Murphy, of Davenport, Ia,
died here Monday morning few min
utes after midnight, but his death was
not unexpected. He came here from
Iowa about three months ago and
was soon after taken i'll with dropsy,
and continued to grow worse till
the end came. Mr.. Murphys identif-
cation with the Hennepin canal scheme
gave him reputation all over the
world, and from the time he entered
congress, about twelve years ago, until
his late illness he has been the ablest
and most persistent advocate of that
enterprise
[Mr, Murphy was born at Lowell, Mass,
February 10, 1885 He was educated in the
schools OF Boston and the University OF Iowa,
TO which STATE his parents moved before he
had reached his majority. He studied
law and was admitted TO practice in
1858, and he had practiced the profession
ever since In 1873 he was elected mayor of
Davenport as u democrat and two years later
became a member OF the state senate, holding
the Office four years. He was again elected
mayor in 1879. He was elected to the Forty
eighth congress. defeating s. s. Farwell. and
was reelcet ted to the Forty ninth congress-
