AN ADVANCE ef ms URANcE.
An Important Move that Will Interest
Every Property Owner.

Boston, November 5.-Of great Importance
to every property owner is the acceptance
by the New England Insurance Exchange of
the report of the special committee on term
business. BY it the three year rates on
mercantile risks will be- advanced 25 per
cent. and five year rates 50 l-3 per cent, be-
ginning December, .IThfs means that hun
dreds of thousands sfdo1lars more will have
to be charged to Insurance accoalnts not
withstanding that some places in New Eng
land, such as Hartford and New Haven,
have been practically debarred from term
insurance for years. The change will be
specially felt in Massachusetts, and more
particularly about Boston. where term
writing prevails. The special term COM
mittee has notified the chairman of the
various local committees of the necessity of
a rearrangement of the base of rates by
which the reduction is meant. but there the
m after rests.

THE STORM.
Disastrous Effect on Telegrahie
Communication.
THE MOST DESTRUCTIVE: FOR
YEARS IN THAT RESPECT.

All Wires West of Boston We're Down
Early in the Night and the Portland
and Bangor Wires were working Bad
ly-The Storm Was Very Severe
Throughout New England. But no Se-
we're Damage is Reported.
Boston, November 5.-The rain storm
which prevailed all day yesterday turned to
snow about ten last night accompanied by
wind that blew about 25 miles an hour. The
snow melted almost as fast as it fell owing
to the soft condition of the streets making
mass of slush disagreeable in the extreme.
Ihe high wind and accumulated snow had
disasterous effect upon the telegraph
and telephone wires, and before nine the
New York wires of the Western Union Tele-
graph company began to fall and continued
to go down until about ii when every wire
to New York was useless. The wires east
TO Portland and Bangor held up but worked
hard with occasional interruptions all
night.
Up to eleven the Northern Press circuit
was working after a fashion to Rutland and
Burlington. Then for an hour Manchester
was the most northern point that could be
reached and at at 1.35 a. m. that wire failed
altogether. Not since the big blizzard of
1888 have the wires of the Western Union in
New England been in such a demoralized
condition, and as the storm at an early hour
this morning had not greatly subsided even
worse condition is predicted for Tuesday.
The Postal Telegraph company's wires to
New York were in a confused shape at mid
night. They were cut off from communica-
tlon from New York and business was re-
oeived subject to indefinite delay. Even
long distance telephone wires which usually
are able to withstand the fury of the wind
and sleet storms were affected and it
was with extreme dif1ouIty that they could
be useds Early in the evening the Western
Union received word that telegraph pole
had fallen near Westboro carrying down
many wires and as communication shortly
afterward was wholly cut off it is supposed
that many other poles have also gone down.
The Storm at Portsmouth.
Portsmouth, N. H.. November 5.-A heavy
northwesterly storm has prevailed since
noon. Rain fell during the afternoon and
it commenced showing hard this evening
and continued up to the present time. A
heavy sea prevails on the coast and the
lower harbor is filled with vessels,

BADLY FOOLED BURGLARS.
They Wasted Hours of Valuable Time and
Secured Three Cents.

Bangor, November 5.-For an experience
which was not wholly pleasant, and three
cents in money as souvenirs, gang of
burglars worked hard all last night in this
vicinity. Their points of attack were the
station buildings of the Maine Central rail-
road at Orono. Webster and Great Works.
The arst two are but short distance apart,
perhaps one-fourth of a mile, while the
third is four miles farther up the line., AT
Orono, where the station is large and in a
much frequented part of the town, a side
window of the ticket Office was pried until
its fastenings broke, but the burglars must
then have been frightened away, for moth
ing in the Office was disturbed. There is no
safe in the Webster ticket Office, but the
agents desk and the money drawers were
broken into and rummaGe ed. but nothing ex-
cept private property of slight value be-
longing to the station az eLt, Mr., johnson.
was found. An express package contain
ing a valuable gold wa tch was undisturbsd.
At Great Works the safe in the ticket office
was blown open with such force as to break
all the glass in the buildingg and shatter
clock and do other damage, but nothing but
railroad books rewarded the men for this
risky operation. A money drawer which
WAS burst open contained five cents and
two of these were found on the floor this
morning. This clock stopped 2.2O showing
that the job must have been done at that
time. Sheriff Beed and Detective Hartman
are working on the case, but there is no
clue to the men. An Oldtown policeman
tells of watching two strangers who we're
hanging about jewclry store here last eve
ming looking into the windows, etc., while
several Orono people were awakened by a
team being driven rapidly through the
streets about three O'Clock this morning

AGAINST THE BIG FOUR.
The Monarchs of Porkopolis Defeated in
An Important Case.

Chicago, November 5.-Jugde Crossoup,
today, rendered decision against the Big
Four packers, Swift, Armour, Morris and
Hammor, in favor of the railroads against
whom the suit was:brought:to recover money
said to be due the packers as paid out by
them in excessive rates on meats sent from
Chicago. Twelve Trunk lines to the East
were interested in the decision, which
closely follows one rendered in the same
case some time ago. Judge Grosscup then
held that the packers could not reco over, in
the absence of common law of the United
States, also owing to silence of the state
statutes regarding such cases. To this de-
cision Swift & Co.. filed number of special
counts, which constituted the case passed
upon today.

TAMMANY WILL BE BEATEN.

Opinion of Harold SeweIl on the New York
Election,
Bath. Novem ber 5-The Times has the

Sew all, who has just returned from New
York Mr.. Sewall said that New York
was tremendously stirred up over the
election. and that he thought everybody
would have to go to bed for week after
it.was over. The general opinion there
was that if Tammany was not beaten
this time. with the comprehensive
com bination against the" Hall, it never
would be. He thought the chances were
largely in favor of the defeat OF both
Hill and Grant, and the election OF
Morton and Strong. but said that Hill
had been making a wonderful canvass
III the northern part of the state, and it
was quite generally admitted that he
had improved his prospects thereby. Mr.
Sewall said the enthusiasm over Harrl-
son in the metropolis was something to
be seen. and had assumed the sem blance
of BOOM for the next Republican
nomination for the presidency. He
thought the choice seemed likely to be
between Reed and Harrison, but that
every Maine man would of course be for
Reed as matter of state pride, if for
no other reason.

of two of the four congressman, and

ing Suspected PERSONS.
Paulding, Ohio. November 5.-George and
Nellie Good, aged nine and six, respective
ly. the children OF Samuel Good, who lives
about three miles north of Paulding, were
found dead By searching party this morn
ing in the woods, near the house. The chill
dren had been brutally murdered. Sunday
afternoon the children were playing in the
road near their home and wandered into
the near by wood. They failed to return
and searching party was organized. The
bodies were in a brush heap. The girls head
had been pounded to pulp, her throat cut
and she had been disembowelled. The boys
head was neary severed from his body,
which was terribly mangled, The bodies
were tied together with tarred rope and
thrown into the brush, which afterwards
was fired. but owing to heavy rain it was
too damp to burn, and only blackened the
bodies. But one theory is advanced as to
the cause OF the crime, and that was the
little girl was outraged and murdered and
her mpanion killed to prevent his telling
the awful tale.
Sheriff Staley arrested Charles Hart, aged
10, who resides near the Good home, on sus-
picion. Hart is an illiterate boy, by some
considered insane. The arrest is due to his
strange actions.
Leo Cain. negro, 2l years old. has been
a companion of Hart and was arrested and
Jailed. Paulding was quickly filled with
meE talking wildly of lynching the arrested
persons. Judge Shook and leading citizens
made an effort to quiet the mob by deliver
ing numerous speeches on the streets. At
three this afternoon, a bloodhound was sent
to the scene. The attitude of the mob con-
tinued to grow more and more threatening
and the prisoners were quietly sent to Van
vert for safe keeping.
