The insurance situation in Ten
nessee is said to be due to the ignor-
ance Of the general assembly and
the rigid construction Of the law
by the supreme court in its recent
decision, and unless there is some
prospect Of the calling Of an extra
session Of the general assembly to
relieve the situation the foreign in
surance companies will cease writ
ing insurance and cancel all out
standing policies in the State. A
committee Of insurance men have
appealed to Governor TURNEY to
call an extra session Of the general
assembly, and the governor has
taken the matter under advisement
liz the general assembly should be
called together and sit the twenty
days allowed by law, it will cost the
State between $4,000 and $4,000
Yesterdays Nashville American
says that reliable information has
been received from Winchester
that Governor TURNEY will MOI
call an extra session of the genera
assembly. The governor seems tC
be of the opinion that the insur
ance companies are unnecessarily
alarmed, So far about fifty com
panies have decided to discontinue
business in this State.

EVERY silver mine in the State
of Colorado closed down Friday of
last week. Eighty-fve thousand
men are thus thrown out of employ
ment. This action of the mine
owners is the result of the sudden
drop in the silver market, which is
badly demoralized. The demone-
tization of silver by the India Gov
eminent, which is at the bottom OF
the downward plunge in the mar
ket, has had the iniquity of the
continued purchase Of silver by the
United States Government brought
home to the silver constituency Of
the West, and they have kept the
wires hot directing Congressmer
to urge the necessity for immediate
action by the administration to stay
the price Of silver.

While Messrs. Phillip Redick
and Albert Hassell were down OH
the Louisville and Nashville Rail-
road, near Benton's Cut, one morn
ing recently, it occurred to them
that they would like ride on the
train. The day was delightful, .RnA
the more they thought of it the
more determined they resolved on
going to Big Sandy on the first train
going in that direction, SO, as the
morning freight crept slowly up the
grade at the cut each one seized &
car and were soon seated on top
where they could enjoy the view Of
the beautiful scenery between Ben
tons Cut and Big Sandy. AS the
train approached the latter place
the boys made all preparations te
get off, but they were not SO fortu-
nate. The train -whistled for or
ders, was signaled not to stop, and
the boys were carried by their des-
tination without an opportunity ts
get off and see their friends. Late
that evening they were seen count
ing the ties to Big Sandy from some
point in Henry County, where they
finally succeeded in turning the
train lose. The boys are satisfied
not to attempt another ride from
Benton's Cut to Big Sandy on the
, sly, and they are averse to express
