INSURANCE COMPANIES.

DENVER.-It is announced that
State Auditor Parks, who is eX-otficio
insurance commissioner, is about to
spring surprise upon some of the
leading insurance companies.
Several companies, it is said, have
recently been sending circulars to
their policy-holders containing the as
sertion that if the Democratic party
is successful in the coming election
their policies will be worth but half
the amount on which the premiums
have been paid.
1t is said Mr.. Parks has been quiet
ly securing a collection of these cir
culars, which he declares are evidences
of insolvency on the part of the COM
panies, and he now proposes to cancel
the licenses of all such companies who
are now doing business in this State.
1t is claimed that the auditors judg-
ment in such cases is final and that if
he insists upon this course the com
panies will be barred from doing bus
mess in the State.

THE HEARING.
(Sydney News. July 30,

y
TAMWORTH, Wednesday.-Th case
in connection with the charge against
the clairvoyant Fireman lasted until
after O'Clock last night, and the
court throughout the day was crowd
ed to its utmost capacity.
Mrs. Spencer, a widow, went into
the box and stated that in consequence
of an advertisement she noticed in
Tamworth paper she went to the ac-
cused's hotel, accompanied by her sis
ter, Miss Brown. After going through
the usual preliminaries as stated by
Hoskings in his evidence the accused
said to her, "Your name is Elizabeth
Spencer, your age is 80, and your oc-
other three slips of paper she had
asked, "Shall | be successful in bust
ness?" would you advise me to go
into sweep?" Shall | be successful
on a farm" Accused, after getting
hold of her hand and tapping his fore
head, said about the farm you will
have difficulty in getting one, but if
you do get one you will do pretty well.
You had better not go into a sweep,
but you are suitable, and would do
well in any business" Witness stated
that accused said "It is by light and
shade that | do it, and if you are sue
cessful there will be light, but if not
it will be dark" The police arrived
while the accused was talking, and the
conversation was brought to an abrupt
termination. Miss Brown wrote sim
liar questions, and also asked about
money coming to her from England
and accused told her she would get
documents from England relative to
the matter about the middle of next
year.
In cross-eXamination by Mr.. Tribe
Mrs. Spencer said she did not know
Hosllings before, and was not and
never had been an actress of Singer.
William Condor, hotellleeper, stated
that he visited the accused, and was
induced to go because of the great
skill the advertisements set out he
possessed. Accused told him his fee
was guinea, and witness told him he
could not afford so much. Accused
then said, "It might be a good few
pounds in your way to know, if you
were interested in mines or anything"
As he was interested in a mine witness
paid him a guinea, and got correct

BOLD BEN IN P|Uk|A.
IN. NEW SOUTH WALES
FOR NOTHING At ALL"
Charged With Practicing as "a Clair
voyant-Gave Seance to an Inform
er-Readily Gets Bail.
BEN ENTRAPPED.
(Sydney News, July 24.)


TAMWORTH, Friday-An individual
travelling as professor" Bernhard
Friemann, describing himself as clair
voyant and medium, having just ar
rived from Queensland, was arrested
last night at the instance of Ernest
Garibaldi Hoskings, who figured prom
inently in the exposure of the Melton
sceances in Sydney some time ago.
The charge again Fireman. read as
mann did in Tamworth, in the colony
of New South Wales, in the 23rd July,
unlawfully pretend from his skill and
knowledge in certain occult and crafty
science, to discover where, and in what
manner certain goods, to-wit, gold,
supposed to have been stolen, might
be found, and that certain gold mine
at Nundle would turn out all right if
the complainant, Ernest Garibaldi Hos
kins, would sink another fifty feet.
Hoskins, it appears, has followed Erie
mann over 300 miles i'm order to en-
trap him, and on his arrival here yes
terday he went to the hotel where
Fireman. was staying, and, disguised
as a miner, paid him a guinea for cer-
tain advice with reference to certain
gold mine at Nundle, in which Hos
kings alleged he was interested. Hos
kings paid Fireman. the guinea N
marked silver coins, which were found
on the accused when searched at the
lookup. Accused, who was arrested on
a warrant, was brought up at the po-
lice court this morning, and, on appli-
cation of Mr.. Newman, solicitor, who
appears for the prosecution, accused
was remanded for eight days. Mr..
Tribe, solicitor for the defense, APP
piled for bail, which was granted, in
two sureties of $50 each. The bail was
Immediately forthcoming. The cases
excited the greatest interest, and long
before the proceedings commenced an
eager crowd congregated at the court
house to witness the proceedings.

answers to the questions asked. Ac-
cused said, "Your name is William
Condon, and your age is AZ next birth
day. Witness told him he had an in
terest in Il mine, and asked would he
have any luck. Accused then caught
hold of witnesses hand, squeezed it,
and after studying awhile said, "It's
coming shortly" cloud laughter.)
Accused got hold of pad, like one
produced, and drew circles on it to
show how close witness was coming
to his luck. He warned witness that
there was a dark-complexioned man
interested in the same mine, and to
watch him. Witness explained that
the mine was run by syndicate, and
there were two dark-complexioned
men in it. Witness did not ask for his
money back, as he thought that would
be a mean proceeding. Accused did
not offer to return it. Witness got dis
gusted with himself and left.
In cross-examination, witness said
he afterwards wrote to accused for
further advice on a family matter.
This closed the case for the prosecu-
ton. and the court adjourned till 2
O'Clock. Intense excitement still pre-
walls, and the subject is the sole topic
of conversation throughout the town
and district.
When the court was opened in the
afternoon there was again a large at
tendance to listen to the addresses Of
the attorneys in the case.
Mr.. Tribe, for the defense asserted
that the prosecution had failed to
make out a prima facie case. The
charge was a very unusual one, and
as far as he knew no similar case had
ever been tried in this colony. There
fore the bench should be satisfied that
out to justify them sending accused
for trial
Mr.. Newman, for the prosecution,
laid down the law bearing on the mat
ter before the magistrates, and quoted
numerous authorities in support. He
submitted confidently that prima
facie case had been made out, and said
If the magistrates discharged the ac-
cused they would incur a very grave
responsibility. 1t would be better if
the left the matter in the Attorney
Generals hands. He resented Mr.. Hos
kings being termed common inform
er.
The bench retired to consult and
after an absence of a quarter of an
hour the chairman said they had de-
cided to commit the accused to take
his trial at the next Circuit Court, to
be held on September 80 next. Ac-
cused, who reserved his defence. was
allowed bail, and this was forthcom-
ing.

One Walter III. Bickford of Missouta
Montana, writes to Bangor paper some
thing that he calls review of Mr. Reed s
speeches. In the course of his screed he
tells why the west ia in favor of free sill
yer as follows:
In the West we believe in the double
standard, not because of the fact of liv-
ing Ia the West, but because the constitu-
ton provides for the coinage of both gold
and silver into money and because the
experience Of the country since the repeal
Of the silver coinage laws of 1878 has
shown beyond question that in order to
have enough money in the country with
which TO do its business it is necessary
10 coin both gold and silver.
One would infer from this that since
1873 the coinage Of silver had been
stopped. Yet 1t is fact that since that
period 80 times as many silver dollars
have been coined in this country as
were coined from 1892 to 1873, everyone
OF them too having the full legal tender
quality.
