SAILED FOR SWEDEN
WITH THE sJANDANAVIAN's MONEY
The Poor Laborers Are Grieving
For Their Savings.

NEW YORK, Oct. ll.-Scandana-
Wan miners and other laborers of
that nationality are grieving over
the loss of the money they have
been saving for years-money that
they had Entrusted to the care of o.
A. Sjosterom, a Swedish banker
who has been doing business for
years at No. ~ State street. The
concern has collapsed with liabili-
ties of $4,000 and no visible assets.
Sjosterom, it appears has been
doing a general banking business
for about 10 years. He solicited
the savings of the men from the
time they landed in this country,
promising to pay them 5 per cent
on all deposits. The miners in
Pennsylvania sent him portion
OF their salaries every month and
he was, or ought to have been
growing rich very fast. The de-
positors have only receipts to show
for their deposits. 1t is said that
he knew that his concern was
going to collapse last June and yet
he continued to receive deposits.
He sailed away that month for
Sweden, where he is now supposed
TO be, leaving the office in charge
with a woman supposed to be his
wife. She was notified by the
Swedish consul during the latter
part of September that she must
not receive any more deposits. The
office has now been closed by his
orders.

INSURANCE RATES CUT
AND MODIFIED BY CHICAGO UN-
DERWRITERS.
Ten to twenty-five Per Cent Reduc.
ton All Round.

CHICAGO, H., Oct. ll.-Insurance
rates on buildings in the down.
town business district were modi-
fed considerably by the Chicago
Underwriters association at the
meeting last night. Under the rate
put into effect Feb. 20, Of this year,
the schedules were advanced % per
cent over the old mercantile rate.
Then it was found this increase
was unequal and applied higher
on any rate on any given
risk than was proper, and
the assured was allowed a re-
bate. The rule was only to ap.
ply until the new schedule could
be completed. The association has
been working on these new sched-
ules for nine months, but they are
not completed satisfactorily as yet.
Meanwhile the rebates were
tumbling into the offices of the as
ISOLATION at an astonishing rate,
and it became evident that some
thing must be done, and that right
speedily. Therefore the associa-
tion decided to reduce the advance
on the old mercantile rate from %
to 10 per cent, but to make this a
flat rate until the schedule can be
put into effect. This is fully a re-
duction of the rate on business
buildings contracted with the ones
that have prevailed since February,
in spite of the rebates, which will
not average l5per cent. Stores and
other contents of the buildings are
not given the benefit of the change.
The lumber trade secured anoth-
er brief respite. The report Of the
Insurance company recommending
several changes in the rate apply
ing to the lumber are being ordered
printed and distributed for consid-
Grafton. Lumber risks would be
thoroughly overhauled at the
meeting next Friday afternoon, and
it is highly probable that the re-
port of the committee will be
adopted. In this case heavy in
creases will be put on as penalties
for the lumber which is piled too
high, for lack Of watchmen at the
yards and, for exposures beyond %
and up to so feet from the risk.

FLIRTING WITH WIDOWS,
Ruined His Prospects, and Caught
Law Suit.


MAsCOUTAHILLs, Oct. 1l.-Henry
Arnold and Mrs. Louise Hodo were
married at Smithton, last night.
The groom is widower Of seventy
two years, and the bride is widow
of 60. The groom achieved some
notoriety lately on account Of a
peculiar law suit in which he is de-
PENDANT. Plaintiff is Louis Timing,
who alleges that he was employed
to secure a wife for Arnold. Plain
tiff AYERS that he spent 3 months
trying and some of his own money
in search of a wife for his employer.
According to Timmig's statement
he found a woman at Pinckney-
Vile who was willing to marry Ar
mold, but the latter ruined his own
prospects by flirting with other
widows. Timing presented bill
for 500 which Arnold refused to
pay. A sympathetic jury allowed
Timing $50 for his services and
Arnold promptly took an appeal
to the st. Clair court, where the
case rests at present. 1t appears
that after Arnold discharged his
man he set out on his own hook in
search of a wife. The marriage
was the result. Both Arnold and
his wife are wealthy.

MARRIED BY SPIRITS.
Mary Now Wants a Divorce From
Her James.


CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. LIT is a
queer charge which Mary M. Nc
Gavin brings against her husband,
James McGavin, in her bill for an
annulment of their marriage. She
informs the court that the death
of her first husband, John HOar,
unbalanced her mind so that she
lost the power of resistance and
could easily be deceived or per-
suaded. During the month of jan
uary last, prior to her second mar
riage, she was persuaded by her
cousin, Jennie Murray, to attend a
spiritualist meeting and McGavin
accompanied them. He was in
formed by the medium that it was
the desire Of her departed husband
that she marry McGavin. She
was persuaded to marry MCGavin,
and was taken to the house of a
spiritualist medium. There COM
plainant charges McGavin with
compelling her to drink concoc-
ton which stupefied her, and while
she was under its influence, the
medium performed the marriage
ceremony. McGavin and Jennie
Murray are accused of procuring
the services OF the medium to car
ry out a conspiracy to get posses.
sion OF her real estate, which is
about $4,000.

-FOUR URGENT REASONS.
President Ives Request to the Bond
holders Of the Northern Pacific.

New York, March 5.-President Bray
ton Ives, on behalf of the directors of
the Northern Pacific, has officially
asked the bondholders of the company
to withhold their acceptance of the
agreement promulgated by the commit
tee claiming to represent the consoli-
dated bondholders, and states four rea-
sons for his request. Those are that the
publication of such an agreement is
premature; that the scope of the COM
mittee is too limited; that the constitu-
ton of the committee is unfortunate
and that apart from the foreign interest
hitherto represented by Mr.. Willard, the
committee owned and controls but a.
limited amount of bonds. Ives urges
that while the Northern Pacific earn
ings continue to decrease, and in the
absence of a full, accurate financial
statement from the receivers, no basis
for a plan of reorganization can be
presented. The directors, Mr.. Ives says,
own personally large amounts of bonds
and represent millions belonging to
their friends. He finally urges that
new committee representing all inter-
ests be formed, or that the present COM
mittee be enlarged.

'LOVE YOUR ENENIES''
So Says Archbishop Gross to the
Catholics of Portland.
HE ISSUES a CIRCULAR LETTER
DeplOring the Attacks Made Against
the Catholic Religion Excellent
Advice.
Associated Press.

Portland March 5.-Owing to the re-
cent attacks upon the Roman Catholic
church, Rev. Archbishop Gross has is
sued circular letter Of advice to the
Catholics of this city. The letter says;
"Of late there has been begun an as
sault upon the Catholic church in this
country similar in it's methods and aim
to that of the Know Nothing party,
which was so quickly and completely
rejected by the American people. A
number of speeches and lectures full
of animosity against our holy religion
have already been made, and many
more will be delivered. We hereby make
known to you our advice and heartfelt
wish that you will remain away from
such lectures and speeches. The mis-
representations and calumnies which
you would hear on such occasions might
arouse you to say and do things that
are improper, and which in cooler mo-
ments you would repent Of 1t is sad
to see men endeavoring to stir up a
strife between citizens of our common
republic who have been living in social
harmony, Notwithstanding the differ
ence of creed. Let us love our enemies,
return good for evil. and pray for those
who. persecute and revile us. Let us
trust to the good sense of the American
people to discern the ISLANDERS and false
hoods uttered against us, and initiate
the splendid civil virtues Of Charles
Carroll, of carrollton; Commodore Bar
ry, Gen. Sheridan and a host of Catho-
lies who have won universal esteem by
their excellent citizenship"

McREAvY's CASE.
Argument Before the washington Su.
preme Court Yesterday.

Olympia, March 5.-The case Of the
state, on complaint of John McReavy,
VS.. Thomas Burke was heard in the SUI
preme court today. The proceedings
grew out of the removal by the govern
or of McReavy as capitol commissioner.
The contention was that 1t is well es-
tabIished that where the power to re-
move an officer for cause is reposed In
tribunal or officer, that power cannot
be exercised without notice and hear
ing, and that the exercise Of such func-
ton is judicial in character and con-
trary to our idea of government, that
any citizen should be prejudiced in prop
erty or reputation without notice and
opportunity to be heard. Respondent
held that the principal universally rec
ognized was that the power of the legis-
lature over the removal of an individual
was unlimited except when prescribed
by the constitution, and that in the ex-
ercise of such power the legislature
may clothe any official with such power
and prescribe the manner in which
such power shall be exercised When
the constitution or legislature gives the
governor the power to remove an Off
Ger, and is silent as to the modeto exer-
else, 1t follows that the governor may
determine whether any cause exists for
removal, and courts cannot dictate how
he shall perform his duty.

If definite agreement could be reached
on sugar 1t would then be possible to
agree upon everything slee. It Is under
stood that the demands made by demo-
cratic senator's who opposed the bill in
the form in which it was first presented
have been met and tentatively agreed
upon; but even these agreements are
subject to the approval Of the treasury
department and the needs Of the gov
ernment in the matter of revenue. II
appears, also, that the proposition for
an increased tax on whiskey is mixed
up with the proposed duty on sugar.

given and such rights depend on local
laws. Congress never acted on the poll
icy that tide-water lands could be given
away piecemeal, but held them for pub
