Under $4,000 Bonds to Keep

After Fifteen Years.

New YORK. May l0.-The Times says
that John w. Hillmon, the chief con-
tpirator in the famous "Hillmon insur-
ance swindle in Kansas" has been
found. The attorney for the Mutual
Life Insurance company, which with
the New York Life Insurance company
and the Connecticut Mutual company.
carried the $4,000 insurance which
Hillmon had on his life when he disap.
peared in 1878. in an interview said:
I'VE have at last
Found Hillmon Alive
and well and know exactly where we
can lay our hands on him After a
search extending over Is years he has
been finally traced to the Pacific coast
and he has made clean breast of the
whole affair"
The story of the case involves the
murder of an innocent man to provide
corpse, wholesale perjury and a host
of other crimes. Hillmon was "a years
OF age when he disappeared from
Medicine Lodge. Kan, in 1878. He had
always been a poor man, and when it
was found that he had left insurance
policies aggregating $4O, 1000 the suspic.
ions OF the companies were aroused and
they contested the claim of Hillmon's
alleged widow to the money The
corpse, which was said to be Hillmon's
was identified by many supposedly re.
pntable witnesses, but when it was
afterward exhumed, on the company's
order, Hillmon's neighbors declared il
was not his, and his wife, in giving a
description OF her husband, failed to
describe the corpse.

The League Clubs.

LOUISVILLE, KY. May lo-Nearly all
the delegates for the convention of
National Republican League clubs are
here. The attendance will be as full as
that of any previous meeting. This
promptitude is accepted by the leaders
as an indication of the general interest
felt IN the gathering of the week. as
well as of the determination of the

ening. Perhaps the Only exceptions
to this view come from the California
delegation which insists that the gather.
ing must declare itself upon the silver
question and that the western delegates
will be recreant to the interests of that
section if they fail to demand that the
convention place itself fairly and
squarely on record in favor of the free
and unlimited coinage of American sill
yer. That the convention will do any
thing of the kind however, is more than
unlikely and the men from the Golden
Gate have been given very pointedly to
understand that it is not the business
OF the gathering to make platforms but
simply to organize andstrengtnen forces
for the support and advocacy OF the prin-
ciples enunciated by the higher councils
OF the party.

Canvass for Officers.
The canvass for the principal officers
of the National league is growing de
cidedly warm and as fast as each dele
CATION arrives it is taken to camp by
the supporters of one or the other OF the
candidates. The Ohio delegation is
making determined fight for the Sc
lection as president of w. j. Squire
of Toledo, while the Illinois boys are
working just as hard for the success of
w. w. Tracy Of Springfield. These are
the principal candidates, although Hon.
J. S. Fassett and E. A. McAlpin of New
York and w. L. Taylor Of Indiana have
all energetic supporters. If the contest
becomes too warm for comfort Presi-
dent Clarkson may consent to u re-
nomination. although he is not seeking
