Two Ballots for Senator, with Few
IrnnOrtant Changes.

ANNAPOLIS. Nd, Jan. H.-The Mary
land General Assembly took two more joint
ballots to-day in an unavailing effort to
elect a United States senator, making a
total of seven. They resulted as follows:
Sixth Ballot-McComas, 4S; German. 46;
Findlay, 2; Shryock, 2; Mullikin, 2; Barber,
IL: Shaw, l.
Seventh Ballot-McComas, a; German,
46; Shaw, 10; Shryock, 2; Findlay, 2; total,
113.
The principal feature of to-day's pro-
ceedings was the disappearance of ex-Sen-
ator Parran and Colonel J. c. Mullikin from
the list of those receiving votes One
of those who have heretofore voted for the
latter went to Major Shaw, giving him a
gain of one vote over yesterday. The 9TH
er went to Judge McComas, together with
the three who voted for Parran resulting
in a gain of four votes. The change of
heart upon the part of the Parran contin-
gent is attributed to the influence of Post
master General Gary. General ShryOck and
ex-Congressman Findlay held their own and
both are now regarded as available timber
for second choice. The impression is stead
lily gaining ground that the only possible
solution of the present contest lies in such
withdrawal, and it is freely predicted that
this will take place within the next few
days.
There seems but little probability at this
time that Judge McComas will be able to
further recruit his forces as long as Major
Shaw remains in the race, and the con-
verso of this proposition is equally true.
This being the case, the outlook for pro-
tracted deadlock is more pronounced than
ever and in corresponding degree the prob
abilities OF union between the Democrats
being the policy of the Democratic leaders
to prolong the present condition as far as
possible and to aid in the election of a
Republican only in case of absolute neces-

the freest expression of the intelligence and
conscience Of the Nation at the primary
must be removed If this is TO remain a re-

PAID ON A $4,000 POLICY.
Two Other Companies still to Hear
From-HistOry of the Case-Insur-
ance ON Tnte's Life Also Paid.

Topeka, Kan, Jan. H.-The famous
Hillmon insurance case, which has been
fought through five trials, was settled to-
day, so far as the claim against the New
York Life Insurance Company is concerned.
HiIlmon was insured In this company for
$4,000, but upon what basis the compro-
mise was made cannot be ascertained, as
the attorneys on both sides absolutely re-
fuse to talk. One report has il that Mrs.
Hillmon receives the full amount of her
claim Sl0000 and interest amounting to
$11. 600.
When Insurance Commissioner Webb Nc
Nall was apprised of the New York Life's
action in settling the Hillmon claip this
afternoon he promptly granted its lattor-
neys a license for the year almost past and
ending Feb 2s 1888, and dso for the next
license year. This, McNali said tonight,
renders valid any business the company
may have done the past year without Ii
cense. 1t was their refusal to settle the
Hillmon claims, upon which Insurance
Commissioner McNall based his action in
revoking the licenses of the three interested
companies last March. The Mutual Life was
one of these and was subsequently barred
from the State by judgment Of custer
from the Supreme Court. The Cornecti-
cut Mutual is abiding by McNalfs action
in revoking its license and has made no
fight.
The New York Life brought suit against
McNall for damages. Later the suit was
dropped suddenly. The charge has been
made that this company has been solicit
ing business in this State without license,
and quo warranto proceedings is pending
in the Supreme Court. brought by the at
torney general to compel the company to
show it is transacting business without
license. Attorney General Boyle refused at
a late hour tonight to say whether or not
this case would be dropped indeed. the ac-
tion of the insurance commissioner in
granting license for the year past makes
It uncertain whether or not the case may
properly be tried.
John w. Hillmon, who is supposed to have
been shot through the head at Medicine
Lodge, Kan, March H. 1879. had life insur-
ance as follows In the New York Life,
$1,000; in the Mutual Life. $4,000, and in
the Connecticut Mutual, 5000. II was

Insurance ON the Life of a Noted De-
fauIter Paid by One Company.


FRANKFORT, KY. Jan. 21.-James w.
Tate, the defaulting ex-state treasurer of
Kentucky, who fled the State leaving a
deficit of about $SO.0OO eleven years ago, is
now legally dead, If not actually So There
has always been great deal of mystery
connected with Tate's disappearance and
it has been claimed by all his enc, les and
many of his friends that he wax alive in
some foreign country enjoying tine proceeds
of his illgotten wealth. The law in Ken
lucky is, however, that after a man has
been missing for seven years and nothing
has been heard from him during that time
that he is legally dead, and it was under
this statute that his heirs recently brought
suit against the insurance companies to re-
cover the insurance on his life. The insur-
ance companies fought the cases bitterly
until this morning when the attorneys for
the Connecticut Mutual Life appeared in
court and paid over $4,10O on the $5 O00
policy which Tate carried in their COM
pany. In so doing they virtually admit the
death of the ex-stGLe treasurer. The other
defendants, it is said, will follow the ex-
ample of the Connecticut Life and the last
chapter in the Tate case, one of the most
sensational in the history of the State will
have been closed.

GIRLS SOLD FOR $50 EACH.
Father Forced to Part with Daugh-
ters to Pay Debt of 800.

TOLEDO, o., Jan. a.-At Kelley's ISL
and Joseph Folk sold his two daughters for
$780, giving them in lieu of money each to
satisfy a debt of $50, which he could not
otherwise meet. A year ago Folk left his
home and family in Poland TO seek his for
tune in America, making his way to
Keleys island, where he found work. Then
his wife died, and the sad news came to
him that his daughters were in want. He
had not money enough TO send for them
but he borrowed $50 each from Peter Mile
and Joseph Hidock, who were earning more
than he, to pay their passage across the
ocean. A couple OF weeks ago they arrived
and were warmly received. But the money
loaned by Mile and Htdock was due and
Folk could not pay 1t. They pressed him.
and finally the old man said he was afraid
he could never pay II. but to satisfy the
debt he would give one OF his daughters TO
each as. wife. and this proposition was
accepted. Mary Folk, aged sixteen was
chosen by Hidock and the younger by Mile.
Yesterday was the wedding day.

Brown. The insurance companies claimed
that a conspiracy was formed consisting
Of Levi Baldwin, John w. Hillmon and
John H. Brown, and that Hillmons life
was insured and that Frederick Adolphus
Walters was murdered by Hillmon, and his
body attempted to be paImed off on the
companies as Hillmon's. The case has been
tried five times. The first trial was at
Leayenworth in June, 1882. The jury failed
to agree. seven being for the plaintiff and
five for the defendant. The second trial was
at Leavenworth, Kan, in June 1885. The
jury again failed to agree, the vote stand
ing to 6. The third trial was at Topeka,
resulting in a verdict for the plaintiff. The
case went to the Kansas Supreme Court.
where the judgment of the lower court was
reversed. The next trial was before Judge
Thomas, of North Dakota, and eleven jury
men stood out for Mrs. Hillmon. The lone
man who hung the jury was VI. II. Young.
of Marion, Kan. A fifth trial was had be-
fore Judge Williams, the jury standing five
TO seven in favSr of Mrs. Hillmon. The
sixth trial has been set for Feb. a. 1885,
and will yet be tried unless the Mutual
Life and the Connecticut Mutual follow the
example set by the New York Life to-day
and compromise the claims.
