LAWS ON INSOLVENCY.
Senator Howard Would Revise
and Amend Them.

Senator Howard Would Revise
and Amend Them.
Senator Howard, of Minneapolis, has
prepared a bill, which will be intro
duced in the senate Monday night, that
is important to the merchants, and. IN
fact. every one doing credit business.
1t provides for a revision Of the ino
solvency laws, and making some
changes so as to prevent giving prefer
eDce TO creditors. incidentally, this Will
cause an equal distribution by lnsolVent
persons among their creditors. Inc
courts have rendered several decisions
on the laws passed relative to lnsolV-
ency, but there are still some doubtful
points left. Tie bill of Senator Howard
not only claSsilies the acts of 1876, 1878
and 1881, but eliminates and amends
them SO as to conform to the several de-
ciSiOnS OF the supreme court thereon.
The laws, embraced in several chap
tiers, contained in several session acts,
will be condensed into one chapter OF
twenty-five sections.
III place of allowing the inSolyent to
name the assignee, the bill provides
that the creditors may select trustee
to wind up the estate. This will be adj
vantageous, as shown in the cases OF the
Mast, Buford q Burwcll company and
the st. Anthony Park Furniture COM
pany, in preventing an interested party
becoming the assignee, who may delay
the settlement Of the business or leave
it in the hands Of large creditor who
may have an object i'll delaying settles
ment.
The bill also provides that the estate
shall pay a reasonable percentage of the
debts before the insolvent may he dis
charged from future liability.

hour members of the party snapped
ually drifted TO the remarkable occur
ence reported few days ago, when a
prisoner presented himself to the war
den of prison. handed him a commit
ment, and said that he had come to
serve a term III the institution. Supt.
Fitzgerald stated that he had seen a
similar occurrence some years ago while
connected with the Detroit house of
correction. John Provost, handsome,
able. bodied halfbreed had been con-
victed in the United States
court of crime. the nature
of which he could not recall, and, being
man in whom implicit confidence
could be placed, lie asked the Off GERS if
he could not take the commitment and
present himself at the prison. Provost
was convicted at Bismarck, and the Of
him to make the journey alone. He
started, and in due course Of time
brought up at the Detroit house of COR
rection. He handed the commitment to
the superintendent, was received at the
prison, and began serving his sentence.
As time wore Oh he expected a pardon,
but it never came, and a short time be-
fore the expiration of his term he was
taken suddenly i'll and died. Mr.. FitZ.
gerald stared that Prov ost was the best
prisoner in that institution, and that
his death caused feeling of sadness
among the officers, who, as we'll as Pro-
vOst. had looked forward to the date Of
his liberation.
