81 expected letter to reach me there

This corroborated the story told by
young Harrison. At this point Burrows
passed to Mr.. Tupper piece of paper,
on which he suggested a question. Dur
ing the latter part of the examination
he had been thinking of the story told
by the station agent, and as Marvel
claimed that he had been in Worcester
it seemed like eliminating admission,
since the train which Nh. Skene said
had brought stranger had come from
that city. Mr.. Upper next asked:
"Mr. Marvel, will you tell us how
you were dressed ON the night of your
visit to the farm?"
81 wore disguise that bought in
Worcester.
Mr.. Topper had not quite understood
the object of the question, but the reply
at once arrested his attention, and he
pursued the subject.
"Why were you disguised?"

"When you ask me if saw Mr.. Lew

Mr.. Topper was little confused al
this direct question and hesitated mo-
ment before ne replied:
"Mr. Lewis has been murdered, and
there are suspicious circumstances
which seem TO implicate you. am on
ly giving you an opportunity to vindi-
cate yourself.
"You are very kind" said Marvel,
with smile, "but it seems to me that
it is the other way, and that you are
simply hunting for the criminal. Now,
if / admit that / saw Mr.. Lewis that
night, whether killed him or not,
might be acknowledging myself to be
the last person who saw him alive, and
that might be construed into an evil
dence of gnilt. I believe I have the
privilege of refusing to criminate my
self, and will not reply to the ques-
ton"
"You are virtually admitting what
you seem to wish to deny, since if you

reason for your hesitating to proclaim
that fact"
"You are wrong. If l say that I did

Mr.. Barnes could not but admire the

THE VERDICT.

There are some individuals whose
nerves are so well trained that they can
be made TO sustain almost any strain
without giving evidence of the tension
to which they have been exposed. vir-
ginia Lewis was of this kind. There is,
however, in all probability, no force in
nature that has not a breaking point,
beyond which it is impossible for integ-

INTERESTING FIGURES.

The figures from the Insurance Ecano-
mist published below show the amount of
premiums paid to life insurance compa-
nies and the death losses in the past five
years in each of the twenty-four States
named. The proportion Of lc sses paid by
the companies in no case amounts to half
OF the premiums collected and in some OF
the States not even to one-third, as in the
case OF Arkansas, Florida, Iowa, Michi-
gan, Minnesota and West Virginia. In
Florida the losses paid are less in proper
ton to the premiums than any other
state, which speaks we'll for the health
fulness and vitality of the people there.
That business of life insurance is highly
profitable TO the companies engaged in it

Now that the bali has been set in mo-
tion TO secure the State Democratic con
vention. for this city no stone should be
left unturned by those able to assist in
the matter. 1t has been long time
since State convention was held in this
section and if Roanoke was able to &C.
comodate one ten years ago when the ia
cilities were not half what they now are,
it is evident with the Academy of Music
Tor the delegates to deliberate in and We
hotels and several first class boarding
houses to provide for their comfort and
that of all other visitors, that nothing
will be lacking in this respect. Apart
from these considerations. however. the
Democratic State committee rs Il matter
of policy would do we'll to name Roanoke
as the place for holding the convention.
The Roanoke times. (Roanoke, Va.) 1897-1977, 1897-04-14

goes without. saying, and that such COM
panies assist greatly in the accumulation
5of capital in the sections where the home
offices are located is evident from the
statement published below. In Virginia,
for example, the premiums collected dur
ing the last five years amounted to $9,-
412,77O, while the losses paid during that
period were only 3,738. $40.
Nearly all of these premiums were paid
to companies located in Northern States,
as was the case likewise with every other
Southern State. If, however, insurance
companies in the North can do business
at such profits, and at the same time help
to build up the communities in which
they are located by drawing capital there
from other sections, It follows, of course,
that such companies properly organized
and conducted can do the same for Vir-
ginia and other States of the South when
orce established here.
The evident profit in the business and
the great benefit such institutions are to
individuals as we'll as communities would
suggest to the people of this State who
have money to invest the importance of
organizing an insurance company strong
enough to do n large share of business
now done elsewhere, while at the same
time drawing premiums from other
States. g The statement of the Economist
deserves CAREFUL consideration. It is as
follows:

The Western Senator'S have resolved to
insist upon the duty on hides and lead ore
and change in the wool classification so
as to have but one or two classes with
duty from eight cents upward. Whether
they will stick to their resolution to the
extent of voting against the tariff hill if
they do not get all they want remains TO
be seen. 1t is plain, however, that the
tariff will not be rushed in a hurry
through the Senate, where relations of
political parties has been but slightly
changed from what they were in the last
Congress.
