To Readjust Fire Insurance.

The Chester County Mutual Fire In
sufance Company have appointed five
examiners to readjust their assurances.
Their losses have been unusually heavy
of late, and they are going to re-examine
all properties insured. 1t will take them
about year.-Oxford Press.
The English of the above is that since
hard times and the gold ring contraction
have struck property it has fallen to about
one half its former price and some owners
kindle the fires which destroy it and
make more from the insurance than the
property would sell for. There should be
some severe readjusting done on this
side of the line. 1t is the history of fire
insurance companies that hard times are
prolific of fires.

Gov. Hastings and John Wansmaker have
also formed an offensive and defensive po-
utical alliance, having for its object the
overthrow OF the supremacy heretofore e1-
ercised BY senators Cameron and Quay IN
Pennsylvania politics. If successful in the
accomplishment of this purpose Mr.. Wana-
maker would succeed Mr.. Cameron in the
United States Senate, and Gov. Hastings
would be pushed to the front and occupy
Mr.. ouay's seat in 1899 Politicians in
Washington do not regard the latter pro-
position as too unreasonable or chimerlcai.
They argue that Senator Cameron's open
and active advocacy Of free silver cannot
be sustained at the present time IN Penn
sylvania, and that his defeat is a foregone
conclusion. They say Senator Quay Will
exercise all Of his influence and prestige to
bolster up his colleague, but the weight is
too great and be will be dragged down in
the same political disaster which will over
take Mr.. Cameron.

NEIGHBoRHooD NOTES.

A Westmoreland Co. farmer was released
from the Western Penitentary last week,
under remarkable circumstances. Some
years before he discovered that his wife
was engaged in an intrigue with another
man; he accused her of it and they lived
unhappy; and she, to get rid of him, fore
ed their two daughters to accuse their
father of an unnatural crime. de was
convicted and sent to the penitentiary; but
the doubt as to his guilt led his rel atives
to engage the services Of detective who,
after working at the case for nearly two
years, got the oldest girl away from her
mother and secured a complete confession
from her. The girl said thai her mother
had tortured her frightfully to deceive the
doctors who testified in the case Her
mother also had threat ened to send her to
prison if she did not appear aghinst her
father After she had given false evidence
she was forced to remain silent because
her mother had made her believe that
when a person swore falsely and got an
other in prison and it was found out the
innocent person was released and the per-
iurer put in his cell to serve out the rest
Of his term. Her brother and sister con-
firmed her story, and their father was re-
leased.
Nearly every town and township in
Westmorlsnd county was represented at
the mass meeting in Greensburg, Thurs
day, called to protest against the creation

C1lbertson bill. He was followed by pro-
tests from Paul II. Gather, D. S. Atkin-
son. James S. Moorhead, John f. Went
ling, James Mcclure, Henry Shoemaker,
Thompson McClain, Amos Front, John
Betty and +. f. Houseman. Mr.. Gather,
in his speech, severely arraigned the bill,
claiming that the creation of the new
county would be unconstitutional. Res
olutions were adopted and will be taken
TO Harrisburg.
Bucks county's proposed skunk farm,
which will be established near Chalfont,
is rapidly nearing completion, and con
siderable curiosity is manifested in the
unique enterprise by the farmers in the
vicinity. The proprietors are nearly ready
to stock their farm, and it is said that
some Of the neighbors are already invest
ing in large quantities of toilet water, and
even nose protectors. Some of the prop.
erty owners near by seem to think that
the Lew enterprise will depreciate the val
ue OF their properties, but this remains I"
be proven. This will be the first skunt
farm established in Pennsylvania.
