Match 1t. Who Can.

The late Samuel Colt. well
known here, was one of the original
organ Zers of The MUTUAL LIFE IN
SURANCE Co., Of New York. At the
time of his death he held policy No.
l35, which was originally written for
only $1,000. There were So, 700 90 divi-
dends added to this policy during his
lifetime, of which he drew aud used
during his life s., 800 90, leaving a oal-
ance of So, ,301 in dividends which were
added to the po, icy ard paid at his
death, his hers thus receiving in cash
Sc, ,301, or more than double the amount t
of the original policy. If Mr.. Colt had
used no dividends during his life his
estate would have received So, 100 .O9, or
nearly three times the amount of he
original insurance. What other COM
pany can show such record? Mr.. Colt
drew out and spent in his lifetime divi-
dends amounting to four tifths of the
face Of his policy, and bis heirs at his
death received in cash more than
double the amount of the face of his
policy.

The Luetgert Trial.

CHICAGO, Sept. 15.-JurOr Fowler,
whose illness caused the sudden ad-
journmeot of the Luetgert case on
Monday, is entirely recovered ard the
examination of experts was resumed
this morning. The dramatic feature
of the defense will be the appearance
on the witness stand of man who will
swear that some time after midnight t
of May / he saw and talked with Mrs.
Luetgert, and saw her meet her
brother, Dietrich Bicknez, in the early
morning. Acting on this Information
the attorneys for the defense are hav-
ng Bicknez watched.
Professor Bailey's positive assertions
had depressing effect on the prisoner.
He declared, in answer to u chance
question, that the bones in Luetgert's
vat could not have come from any one
animal save human being.
Inspector Shaack was recalled, and
during his examination the fact was
brought out that the state had paid for
the main tainanCe of some Of the witness.
Judge Abraha m Marks, the original
of Lawyer Marks in ''Uncle Tom
Cabin" and Louis Hogrefe, who came
from France 20 write his observations

Railroad Men Meet.

OLD POINT COMFORT, Va, Sept. Is.
|-Today's session of the fifteenth annu-
al convention of the Road Masters
Association of America, the procee d.
ings of which formally opened yester-
day, was largely attended, all of the
principal railroads of the country be-
ing represented. The especial COM
mittee on the latest improvements in
switches and frogs, w. G. Prindle of
the Pennsylvania Com pany, Chicago,
chairman, presented an elaborate re-
port. 1t sets forth that during the past
few years the capacity of freight cars
has been more than doubled, and en-.
ginees OF much greater tonnage and
higher speed used. In order to handle
cars of increased capacity and engines
of greater weight, at high speed, with
safety, it was necessary that the stand
ard of the track be raised to meet the
requirements made of it. To accom-
plish this it was not only neces-
sary to increase the weight of the rail
and stability of the road
b ID, but to use every known means to
reduce the liability of accidents.
Hence the latest improvement in the
matter of switches and frogs was one
of great Importance, as no part of the
track required more care and constant
attention. The report proceeded to re-
view the various frogs aud switches
now in use on leading railroads and
called attention to some recent designs
of spring frogs, several of which are
yet to be made known to the railroad
world. One of these referred to is
novelty, being a sliding spring frog of
exceedingly simple design, and which
in the opinion OF the committee has
numerous advantages over the spring
frogs now in use. The committee re-
ported that there had been little ad-
vancement in the way of improvement
to rigid frogs. The committee on tie
plates, E. Stone of Springfield, Mass,
chairman, reported as result of it's
observation and experience that the
tie plate when properly designed is
superior to the rail brace, in not only
performing the function of the brace,
but also possessing additional merit of
ita own

More Lynchinps Probable.

OSGOOD, Ind, Sept. 15.-It is prob
able that last nights lynching will be
repeated tonight, except in point of
mum bers Living in Osgood are three
or four men supposed to be members
of the same gang. The rumor is now
being quietly circulated that they will
be dealt with tonight. Should outraged
citizens undertake it there is nothing
to restrain them. The action of
last night is rather applauded than
deplored. Troops will not be asked
for. The enmity against the robbers
is intense, remem bering that the gang
compelled aged women and men to
stand upon hot stoves to force them to
disclose the hiding place of their
treasure.
