The penniless laborers Of Colorado are
coming east in large numbers WORK
and shelter are to be obtained here, II
seems, and in the meantime citizens OF
towns along the Union Pacific Road are
feeding and bathing these unfortunates as
they pass through and loading them down
with gratitude. Many Of these returned
immigrants show bank books calling Tor
the payment of money from institutions
whose doors are now closed.
One of the agents of the Equitable Assur-
ance Company, who makes It his busines
to write big risks on big men, interested
himself some months ago in MT. Lloyd
Aspinwall, and succeeded In getting that
gentleman then apparently in the heyday
of prosperity, to apply for 100000 life
policy. He passed the physical examination
and gave his promissory note for one year
in payment of the first annual premium.
There was rejoicing in the big stone build
ing down on Broadway at the landing OF
such large fish, and General Agent A. G.
Haines, who was the immediate superior OF
the successful solicitor, himself discounted
Mr.. Aspinwalls note and paid the solicitor
himself his commission Of $1,000 in hard
cash. So goes the story. When the note
was not paid Mr.. Aspinwall was the sort to
return the policy. but he had assigned it to
his wife, who shoes no disposition to give it
up. Had NJ. AspinwalI gone higher instead
of going to Jail, he would at least have left
his family well provided for.

The only case on record, it is said, where
a. life conyict stands trial for murder. Is
to be that of Henry Singleton. who mali
ciously stabbed to death Lulu Payne in the
Jackson, Mlss., penitentiary day or two
ago: Singleton is now serving q life sentence
for murder. Should the jury in the Payne
case find him guilty, as charged in the in
dictment, he can be hanged, Of course. But
should he be found again guilty Of murder
in the second degree, there will be nothing
for it but to sentence him all over again
for imprisonment for life, and unless he
was we'll supplied with DR.. BrownSequard's
elixir he could scarcely live through both
sentences. The elixir, by the way, is now
said to be nothing more nor less than q

A law of Minnesota requires all passen-
ger trains to stop at county seats through
which they pass. The trains have never
stopped at Pine City, which is the capital
of Pine County, and the authorities have
long been evolving plans to bring about
this consummation. A deputy sheriff got
on board night or two since, with war
rants for the arrest of the engineer and
the conductor, but as he had failed to
provide himself with either money. ticket
or pass he was fired from the car and
left standing in the lonely thicket in the
woods with his warrants in his pocket.
Once upon time there was in Cincinnati
. famous old character named Squire
Sedan, probably member of the fine old
Manhattan Suydams, about whom Mrs
Gertrude Atherton wrote such clever
story. The suburb of Sedamsville wa:
named after this old Squire, who was ar
actual justice of the peace, and had con
