A FORITER NEW HAVEN FIRM,

Attempt to Recover From the Widow of a
Suicide Amounts Claimed by His EN-
p1oyers.
New York, May 25-Bennett, Sloan &
Co, tea and coffee importers, have in
stituted an action against Mrs. Belle
ance money due on the life Of her hus-
band, Maurice Deitsh, who committed
suicide on April II, 1895, by shooting
himself, at the Grand Union hotel in
this city.
Maurice Deitsh was employed by Ben
nett, Sloan & Co. as manager of the
southern department of their business.
At the time of his death he carried
about $4,000 of insurance on his life.
When Deitsh died, the plaintiff asserts,
he owed the company $2,56643, money
advanced to him from time to time.
The case was called for trial to-day
before Justice Mclean in special term,
Part 6, of the supreme court. Mrs.
Deitsh, the widow, appeared in court
with her counsel, Willis B. Dowd.
According to the statement of Thorn
son and Allen, counsel for the plain
tiff, the action is brought under an act
of 1870. which provides that mans
life insurance, made payable to his
wife, shall be exempt from all claims
of creditors, where the amount of an
nual dues paid by the insured does not
exceed $500, where the annual premi-
ums paid by or out of the money of
the insured do exceed $500 a creditor
may have the excess paid on premiums
over $500 a year deducted from the in
surance money and applied in satisfac-
ton of claims.

DEATH IN WESTERN STORMS.
Over Thirty Persons Reported Killed by
Tornado.


Des Moines. May 25.-The most alarm
ing reports We're received here this
morning respecting the tornado which
swept over Polk, Storey and Jasper
counties shortly after midnight last
night.
Owing to the almost total prostra-
ton of telegraph and telephone wires,
it is not possible to verify the reports
that have been received, but indica-
tons are that the casualties will reach
fifty killed or injured.
Later news from Valeria shows that
fifteen persons were killed there. Most
of those killed were in the depot of
the Chicago Great Western road, some
of them having just alighted from a
train and others taken refuge there
from the rain. The depot was literally
blown to pieces. The westbound pas
senger train escaped the tornado but a
few minutes. Had it remained at the
station five minutes longer the list of
killed would undoubtedly have number
ed scores.
A dispatch from Santiago, this coun-
ty, says that the storm was unprece-
dented in it's fury In that section. Three
miles west of the town house was
lifted bodily from the earth, carried
some distance and thrown to the
ground shattered wreck. The entire
family of occupants was killed. The
roads are almost impossible from deb
ris-fences. outbuildings and branches
of trees being swept together in piles.
Nothing has been heard from the north
eastern end of the county, where it is
feared the storm caused the greatest
damage
A messenger from Bondurant, who
arrived here at o'clock, says that
r. G. Scott, prominent farmer, was
killed; also that church at Ankeny
was blown down and several persons
were hurt.
The town of Granger was badly
wrecked. The number of farm houses
wrecked between Valera and Bondu-
rant is very large. Mayor MacVicar
has called meeting at the council
chamber to take active measures for
the relief Of the sufferers. A number of
collins have been shipped to Bondu-
rant on the Great Western extra, via
Berwick, the nearest point

The Murderer of Austin Rye Says He Il
Ready to Die.
Frank Johnson, the murderer of
Austin Rye, who has been incar
cerated in the county jail for several
months, was baptised by immersion
into the Baptist Church last Sun
day Rev. Elder (colored) officiat-
ing. The baptism occurred in his
cell, and bath-tub was used for the
purpose.
The murderer saws he has been
cleansed of his sins, and is ready to
meet his God; and, although his
crime is one of the most diabolical
recorded in the pages of criminal
history, he says he has felt the
pardoning power of God in forgiv-
ing his sins, and is ready to go be-
fore the Great Judge of the world
whose laws are stricter than 1.-THE
laws of the Meads and Persians, y
but who showeth mercy unto those
who repent of their sins and beg fol
mercy.
Johnson has but seven days longer
to live. His execution will Occur
next Friday in an enclosure in the
yard of the county Jail in Columbia
Only few persons-officers, doctors
ministers and newspaper representa-
tives-will be present.; the laws OF

The "Adn Found the Buggy.

On the first Monday in this month
someone carried off the wrong buggy
from the hitch-yard of Mr.. G.. K.
Houser. Mr.. Houser made diligent
search for the buggy, but of no avail.
Last week he put small advertise
ment in the HERALD, and of course
that did the work. Saturday morn
ing the buggy came back with the
man who took it away, and it was
restored to its rightful owner. Mr..
Houser is decidedly of the opinion
that advertising pays, and especi-
ally so when the HERALD is made
the medium.

Union Thanksgiving Service.
A Union Thanksgiving Service
will be held in the First Cumberland
Presbyterian Church on Thursday
morning Nov. 26th at 10 o'clock
The following churches will unite in
this service: First Methodist Epis-
copal, Main Street Cumberland Pres
byterian, Christian, South Column
bia Methodist Episcopal, Second
Presbyterian and First Cumberland
Presbyterian. The Thanksgiving
sermon will be preached by Rev. d.
G. Kelley, D. D., and the other pas
tors will take part in order of ser
vice.
1t seems almost reflection on the
christian culture of our city that the
church members and citizens should
have to be urged to attend this most
appropriate service.
As christians it is certainly be-
coming in us to assemble ourselves
together on this special day to think
over, and offer thanks to Almighty
God for the temporal and spiritual
blessings of another year.
Again, as citizens, we cannot af-
ford to allow such an occasion as
this, which is an appointment of the
President of this Republic and the
Governor of our commonwealth
pass by without giving due respect
to such, thus from the standpoint OF
good citizenship. We should recog-
nize Him who has blessed us as a
nation; offering thanksgiving fol
our preservation as a nation and our
deliverance from every threatened
danger; for the peace that has
dwelt within our boundaries, for our
defense against disease and pesti-
lence.
It is hoped that all houses of bust
ness will at least be closed during
the morning service.
An offering for the poor of our
community will be asked for at that
service, which Offering will be, as
heretofore, placed in the hands Of
the Kings Daughters.
