BY A BURGLAR.
The Unfortunate Man Shot Down While
mpting TO Protect His Property
-lhe Murderer Escaped.

ST.. LOUIS, May 20.-At Wood
stock, a suburb of this city, just
before dawn this morning, Ben
iamin Mccullough, paying teller of
the Safe Bank of st. Louis, was
shot and killed by burglar.
Apparently Mr. Mccullough heard
the burglar, and arising to protect
bis property secured a shotgun.
The burglar evidently left the
house and Mr.. Mccullough followed
him to the yard whore a scuffie fol-
lowed, in which the length of the
shotgun prevented its use, while the
burglars revolver came into play,
and a bullet was sent
crashing into Mccullough s
brain. The murderer escaped, hut
the police are on his track and hope
to capture him.
President Charles Parsons, of
the State Bank, has offered $1,000
for the capture of the murderer.
The state will probably add $500 to
this, and the bank clerks associa-
ton has decided to do The same and
also give $1,000 TO the family of the
murdered man.

humanity, and the cries of
thousand women already assembled
contributed to the excitement that
followed. Cries of pain and terror
arose, and from the collapsed section
of the building came the most ex-
aggerated reports that many persons
were killed or injured. After scores
of people had rushed to the rescue,
and near four score of women had
been extricated, it was found that
about eight persons had been serious
ly injured, but none of them fatally.
The most seriously injured are
Mrs. Ada Jack, Forty second

Mrs. Jack suffered the greatest

was in the center of the crowd and

Her left leg was doubled under, and

Tho Attorney General Of That State Pro-
poses to File n Certain Suit
Which Causes Dismay.

NEW YORK, May 22.-New York
insurance men were greatly inter-
ested yesterday in the published dis
patch from Columbus, O., stating
that Attorney General John X.
Richards, of that state, had insti-
tuted proceedings in the Ohio su-
preme court to prevent tie Guaran-
tee and Accident Lloyds Insurance
Company, Of this city, from
doing business there. The
Guarantee and Accident Lloyds
is operated on the mutual
plan and composed Of 100 of the
most prominent business men in the
city. Ex-Secretary Of the Treasury
Charles s. Fairchild is chairman OF
the advisory committee, and among
the members are Secretary of War
Daniel s. Lamont. The Guarantee
and Accident Lloyds has no charter
and no stock. Like other
Lloyds it is merely mutual organi
zation for the purpose of individual
underwriting. Each of the 100
members paid in a certain amount
in cash when the company started
and signed contract acknowledge
ing liability for one-hundredth
part of the entire liability of
the association, whatever that
might amount to. If the liability of
the organization is 81 ,00c, 600 that
of each individual member would be
$4,000. The Guarantee and Acct
dent Lloyds is a legitimate business
enterprise, conducted in legitimate
manner. 1t is no wildcat concern.
The 100 men who compose it are
we'll known to the public. Their
private fortunes amount to about
$40O, 900, 900, and every penny of
the fortunes is pledged under the
mutual contract, each pledging him
self for one-hundredth part of the
entire liability Of the organization.

are pretty certain to give reduced
rates later, but the sooner they put
them into effect the better. The fair

of the Trust May Get Left.
CHICAGO, May 22.-Regarding
the withdrawal of distilleries from
the whiskey trust it is intimated if
the arrangements attempt to bring
an action in the courts the courts
will hold in pa,i delcato
that where both parties
are in the wrong the court not
help either and to throw the case
out of court. This it is said will
satisfy the Woolner Francin Easton
Schwabacher party, as it is in
possession of the withdrawing dis
tilleries, and does not want the
courts to assist any one in taking
the property away.
This was the position the supreme
court took in the case of a Nebraska
distillery, which the trust leased and
the lessees refused to give
up. Court maintained that both
sides was in the wrong and threw
the case out. As Nebraska people
were in possession the trust could
not help itself.

officers were put in charge cf the

hear of it until late Saturday night,
when one of his assistants told
hima He at once communicated
with the custom house department

alleged indignity, and pending the
settlement, Commissioner Perrenoud
