Long Lived Norwegians.

Norway is a small country, and the say
ings and doings of its people do not get
into newspaper type very often, but the
Norwegians nevertheless have claim
upon celebrity due to the fact thar the av-
erage length of life is greater there than in
any other country in Europe. Recent sta
tistics show that for males tho average is
IS years and 8 months; for females it is 81
years and months.
1t is available commentary on this that
The mortality in Norway is II per cent less
than in the center or west of Europe, this
being due to the fact that far smaller
number of infants die there than in any
other country -New York World.

MariI Wins His Suit Against the Com

AIariI Wins His Suit Against the Com
necticut Fire Insurance Co.
The supreme court has reversed the de-
cision of Judge MacDonell of the city
court in the case of Maril VS.. the Connecti-
cut Hire Insurance Company.
In it's decision the supreme court says
Upon policy of insurance which covers
a stock of materials used in a particU-
lar business, and which contains printed
condition prohibiting the keeping and use
of certain iRhammable substances upon
the premises in which such business Is
conducted, q, recovery may be had in case
of loss, even though tt should appear
that such infammable substances were
in fact kept and used upon the premises,
provided that it shall further appear that
the business in the conduct of which the
stock of material insured was used is
of such character as that the use of such
in1ammable substance is a necessary,
usual and customary incident to said
business, and that such subs tances were
kept only in such quantities and used only
in such manner as, in view of the subject
Of the insurance, must have been in con-
temptation of the parties at the time the
policy was issued.
If the business in question be of such
a character as that some of the infamma-
BILE substances, against the keeping Of
which provision is made in the printed
conditions of the policy, themselves con-
stitute component parts of the "stock Of
material" used in such business, the pol
icy would cover such inflammable sub
stance and a recovery could he had for
loss thereof Notwithstanding the printed
condition against the keeping of such in
ffammable substances.
If in the stating clause of a policy of
insurance the thing insured be described
in general terms as stock Of watch
makers materials" and there Is nothing
in the policy itself indicating with exact
ness what articles were embraced in and
intended to be covered by such general
terms, parol evidence is admissible to ex-
plain the ambiguity, and to apply the
policy to the subject of the insurance.

MUST HAVE WARRANTS.
Detectives Cannot Put Prisoners in
the Barracks without Them.

The police officials are criucising the ac-
tion OF Detective Humphries in recent
arrest William Priest. quartermaster OF
Greer's convict camp in Dolly county,
came to the city Sunday in response to a
telegram from Detective HUMPHREYS, stat
ing that he had two escaped convicts, who
were wanted al the camp.
Mr.. Priest found, on his arrival that no
such prisoners We're in the jail or The police
barracks. Monday morning he set out to
search for HUMPHREYS. The latter had
arrested a man who gave his name as
George Thomas, and who was placed in
the barracks for safe keeping, on the
charge that he was Charlie Smith. one Of
the escaped convicts wanted at Greers.
Humphries went Off to catch the Other
man and while he was gone MIR. Priest
came in and inquired II there were any
prisoners there awaiting him. He was told
of the arrest Of Thomas alias Smith. and
the man .was brought UP for his inspec-
ton. He at once said that the man was
not Smith. bat recognized him as a man
who had recently completed a Ten months
sentence ut the camp. Chief McDermott
accordingly ordered the man released.
In the meanwhile HUMPHREYS had ar
rested another negro on the charge of be
ing one OF the escaped conVicts and was
on his way to the barracks with him
when he heard OF the action Of Chief Nc
nermOtt in releasing his first prisoner.
As soon as he heard this he released the
man he had in custody.
Quartermaster Priest was very much
put out about his uselcs trip 10 Savannah
and declared that Detective Humphries
had not acted in good faith with him. In
the meanwhile Chief AlcDermott has or
dered that no. prisoners be received at the
barracks for safe keeping unless brought
l.
the proper procedure in such cases is for
the arresung officer to commit his pris-
oner TO jail on a warrant. lie also said
that at the next meeting of council, an
ordinance would be passed fixing a special
license upon private detective agencies.

NO AUTHORITY TO ACT.

Candidate McEneneany Wanted the
Commissioners to Appoint His
FreehOIders.
A petition to the commissioners, signed
by T. F. McEneneany, a candidate for JUS
tice of the peace at the election TO be held
in the First district next Saturday, asked
the appointment of Charles J. White and
w. A. Kemp as the freeholders to conduct
the election, under the act of 1892, author
izing the appointment of frceholders by
the commissioner
Mr.. Saussy, the county attorney, after
looking over the act referred to. came 10
the conclusion that the commissioners had
no power to deal with such elections. and
that the act referred to applied only to the
county elections and others, which came
under their direct supervision. Mr. Nc
Eneneany, it seems, was trying to steal a
march on his competitors and get his
freeholders appointed under what he
thought, gave the commissioners authority
to take such action. It has not
been customary, however for the com
missioners to interfere in any way in
such elections, and the clerk was in
structed to notify Mr.. McEneneany that
the board had no authority in the matter.

THE OBJECT OF rnE cIVm WAR.

Lecture on jackson.

Lecture on jackson.
a large and intelligent audience listened
with pleasure last night to Hon. George r.
Weddings great lecture upon StonewaH
Jackson. Mr. vending held the undivided
attention Of his hearers for over an hour
and "a hale and the verdict at his conciu-
sion was that he is the equal. III not the
superior lecturer, of amy lecturer who
ever stood before o Savannah audience
Mr.. Weddings style was not only finished
and artistic, but he showed wide study
and deep comprehension of The great
question of history.
The lecture was not an emogy Of the
great general, but fair description of his
life, actions and military movements from
the time of the opening OF the war To his
death shortly after the battle Of Chancel-
louisville in May, 1868. The description Of
the lightning-liNe movements and wonder
full military campaigns of the great hero
was so graphic and lfe-lise that Mr..
Weddings hearers almost seemed to see
the forms of Jackson and his mon as they
hurried from point to point. battling and
confusing the enemy and falling upon him

The only parallel ~ hia story, the speak

Vending said. was not an accident of the
war. creature developed by clrcum-
stance, but a man created by a divine
power for a specific purpose. The object
of the civil war, he held. was not the des-
tructiOn of slavery. The causes began
their work more than a century before
hand. 1t was the combat of two diverse
IDEAS Of civilization, that OF the cavalier
and that Of the puritan, both of which
were planted In tais country with its set
tlement, transplanted here from England.
The cavalier ideas of Virginia dominated
the south, and the puritan ideas Of New
England dominated the north. These two
forces, he said, had never yet dwelt to-
gether in harmony and never would. AS
long as they existed it was impossible
that the true American should be devel-
oped. 1t was necessary, therefore, he held.
that the war should have taken place IN
order that the people Of the two sections
might become one people that the two
forces might fuse together and as the re-
suit the true American developed
