DEFRAUD INSURANCE CO.'S
Almost Endless Plot Discovered in
the Southern States.

New York, July 19.-The Journal and
Adviser says:
w. D. Robinson of Meridian, Miss,
has been in the city several days in
consultation with the officials of some
of the principal life insurance COM
panies. His object is to bring to light
the facts in a conspiracy to-
defraud insurance companies by
insuring invalids and decrepits,
and where disease failed, to hasten
the death of the victims by poison.
The scene of the conspiracy is said
TO be laid in Kemper county, MISSISSIPPI
pi. Mr.. Robinson estimates the oper-
atoms of the conspirators, given after
conferences with the New York Mutual
Reserve, the New York Life, the EQuit-
able and the Mutual Benefit of New
York, is as follows: Policies in
which the members appeared as bene-
ease, 80; number who died by poison,
u; number whose lives were attempted,
Is; policies Cancelled, 80; amount cleared
and divided by the plotters, SIS, 900; still
to be paid and divided, $4,000. In this
connection the Journal and Advertiser
reviews the operations of DR.. w. H.
LipScomb of Scooba, Mass, now under
sentence of death for the murder of c.
T. Stewart; Guy Jack, a Mississippi
merchant indicted for murder by the
grand jury and out on bail, and other
Mississippi citizens. The Journal and
Advertiser claims that the ramifica-
-tiOnS of the conspiracy in the south are
practically endless.

GREATEST IN THE WORLD.
A Statement That This Gold Find was
Never EoualIed

New York, July 19.-The World says:
Daniel Guggenheim of the firm of NJ.
Guggenheim & Sons, who has large
smelling interest, when seen at his
Long Branch cottage, confirmed the re-
ported discoveries in the Yukon coun-
try and prophesied that the new fields
would yield far in excess of even pres
ent anticipations.
For some time my firm has had ex-
pert mining engineers at work in Alas
ka,' he said, land their representations
leave no doubt that the Yukon gold
fields will prove the richest in the
world. My opinion is that as soon as
the country has been opened up and
shipping facilities furnished the output
of gold will be simply enormous. AS
the production of gold increases silver
will be enhanced in value. This 1 re-
gard as certain
Mr.. Guggenheim declined to give in
detail the reasons for his faith in higher
values for silver. There are well in
formed men who look upon the rich
discoveries as exaggerated. One of
these is F. Hobart, associate editor of
the Engineering and Mining Journal.
Eyes, L have read these STORIES" he
said, but, to be frank, I do not credit
them. Our information, which is de
tailed and positive, makes it impossible
for me to accept the roseate announce
ment that the Yukon runs over a bed
of virgin gold.'

GENERAL BREWER.

when talking to judge or jury. He
talks plain common sense. He is pic
turesque, manly looking soldier, stand
ing over 6 feet high. His shoulders are
broad, and from his high forehead roll
masses of black hair. He has had an in
teresting career in the ARMY.
He is the son of a jailkeeper at New
Antioch, O., and his father was chief
of police of the place. His experiences
in helping prisoners to lead better life
showed him that the Salvation Army
was the very medium for work that he
had been looking for. So he joined and
was sent to an eastern post. But a man
like General Brewer is bound to come
to the top under any conditions. He has
been promoted from time to time until
now he has big territory to look after
and bears the rank of brigadier general.
