The Insurance Company Loses

In the Ocean County Court, Jacob VIM
brought suit against the Mount Holly In
surance Co. to recover Insurance. on his
store, dwelling house and store goods.
which were burned at New Egypt on Sep
TENDER s, 1891. l. w. Carmichael ap-
peared for VIM; Caleb D. Shreve for the
insurance company. The case came up
on Tuesday. After considerable sparring
between counsel, Mr.. Shreve wanting to
postpone the trial, the case was ordered
to go on.
Winn's store at New Egypt was insured
for $4,000, of which $500 was in the Mount
Holly company, which also had $3.50 on
his house. besides carrying risk of $500
on his stock of merchandise. The policy,
issued by Shinn & Holman, of Toms
River, on September 10. 1890, was pre-
sented as evidence by Mr.. Carmichael,
and admitted by the defense. It was
made out in Winn's name, but to the in
terest of E. P. and G. D. Emson, who had
mortgage on both buildings and also
the stock. The plaintiff claimed to be
entitled to the full amount of insurance,
or $3.50; and presented the testimony OF
the carpenters and builders as to the
value of the buildings.
AS in March following the issue of the
policy and prior to the fire. he had quit
his business and rented the store to WINS
]. Davis, he also brought evidence to
prove that he had packed away the in
sured store goods in back room in the
store building and in this house and that
remains of them were found in the ashes
after the fire.
The defense asked for non-suit on the
ground that Winn had neglected to file
his vouchers on bills of sale of the prop
erty with the company on their demand
after he had fled his proof of loss. This
was refused by the court. VIM claimed
that all these papers were burned in the
fire.
The defense was that the buildings
we're not worth the amount they were In
sured for, and that the company was
therefore liable only for pro rata
amount of their real value with the other
companies who carried the insurance
Also that the store goods, claimed BY
Winn to have been in the store room
consisting of teas, spices, salt, bags, can
ned goods, wood, willow, glass and crock
cry ware. etc.-were not there at the tint
of the fire; and that the amount of good
which Winn claimed to have in this littl'
store room could not be gotten into thu
room.
After about nine hours deliberation
the jury on Wednesday rendered yer
dict for the plaintiff in the sum o
$1199.74. The amount claimed was $135,
with interest from date of fire.

Amount Subscribed by F. M.
Wilson Toward Lighting
the Campus.
This Subscription Contingent OF
Berkeley Raising $Iooo-Indian
BoneS-NoteS.

BERKELEY, CAL, Dec. 21.-The efforts
on the part of Regent Reinstein to beau
Iify and illuminate the grounds of the
University of California have stirred the
citizens of Berkeley to action. Five hun
dred dollars was subscribed by F. M. Will
son of Berkeley last night toward fund
of $1,000 to aid the regents in their effort
to light the campus. The matter of lend
ing assistance was discussed officially by
the Board of Town Trustees, but it was
found that they could not legally furnish
any financial aid to the regents in the
matter.
"a disposition is being manifested on
the part Of the regents-of the university, ~
said President Richards, "to beautify their
grounds. The contemplated improve
ments if carried out will mark all era in
the history of Berkeley. 1t is proper
therefore that. so far as we can, this board
gents in all their efforts in the line of
progress" He spoke of the cordial and
friendly relations that should exist be-
tween the university and the town, and
the recent efforts made to illuminate the
campus with thirty arc lights. THE
lighting of the university grounds said
he" means very much for Berke-
ley. 1t will require $1,000 to equip
the grounds with poles and wires
for electric lighting, and as the town
of Berkeley is prohibited from spending
any money for this purpose. and as the re.
gents manifest such disposition to work
together with the citizens for the public
good, it seems lifting that the sum of
$1,000 be raised by popular subscription
| AM authorized by one of your citizens,
Frank NJ. Wilson, to say that he will
subscribe $500 toward the fund, provided
the other citizens will subscribe the re-
naming $780,
A series of resolutions were passed ex-
pressing approval of the projected i'm
provements, and thanking Mr.. Wilson for
his offer.

is being widely discussed throughout Ala
media County. County Clerk Jordan has
already refused to register about dozen
persons and the two papers printed in
Portuguese have opened regular cam
raign on the subject.
District Attorney Shook has decided that
Mr. Jordan's Interpretation Of the law is
correct and to-day Attorney Sam T. Hall,
the County Clerks private attorney. sus-
tanned the opinion of District Attorney
Shook. Mr.. Hall stated in his opinion
that the portion of the amendment at
tackled was:
"No person who shall not be able to read the
constitution in the English language and write
bis or her name shall ever exercise the privl-
lege OF an elector in this State; provided, that
the provisions of this amendment relative to
an educational qualification shall not apply 10
any person prevented by a physical dlsapiilty
from complying with its requis1tlons nor to
any person who now has the right to vote, nor
TO any person who shall be 60 years OF age ana
upward at the time this amendment shall take
effect"
And the claim is made that this violates that
portion of the fourteenth amendment to the
constitution of the United States which reads
as follows: s'All persons born or naturallzed In
the United States and subject to the ]urlsdlc-
tlon thereof are citizens OF the United States
and OF the State wherein they reside. NO State
shall make or enforce any law wnlch snail
abridge the privileges or immunities of citi-
zens of the United Staues.'
But the right to vote is not privilege or i'm
munity of citizens of the United States as SUCH

find them made respectively by Manuel Silva,
Frank NJ Silvia, Manuel Carols de Serpa,
Manuel S. Rose and Joseph Gracia Metoza Jr.
1t afirmatively appears from each af1idavit
that the applicant for registration is unable to
read the constitution in the English language
or to write his own name. Each applicant is
under the age OF 90 years.
The first four above named were naturalized
In the month of October, 1894. The last one
named deposes that he is native OF this State
stitution in the English language or to write
his own name.
As to the four naturalized citizens it afirma-
lively appears that they were not nGturalized
adoption of the amendment under decision.
They clearly, therefore, were not entitled to
vote at the time Of the Adoption of this amend
