DEATH OF LECIUS R. FINCH.

 and Rank nirentnr

Was a Noted New Haven Merchant
 and Bank Director.
 Lucien R. Finch, who was for many years one of New Haven's leading wholesale merchants, died yesterday morning at the home of his son in Plainfield, N. J., aged s5 years. The late MT. Finch is well and most fav- orably remembered by a large number of New Haven's old residents. He was of the firm of Finch & Barnes, whole sale flour and sugar business in State street nearly opposite the County bank. MT. Barnes, his partner, was the late Amos F. Barnes, father of Major T. Attwater Barnes. Mfr. Finch was one of the founders of the Second National bank of this city and for long period was a director of the bank and one of its largest stockholders. He was col league and friend of the late Daniel Trowbridge, who was for years like MT. Finch an importing merchant, and of the late ex-Mayor Harmanus M. Welch, and the late Samuel fleming way, who was president of the Second National bank. MT. Finch many years ago resided on Warren street street on which at that period many promin- ent men dwelt, such as the late Amos F. Barnes, the late Edward A. Mitchell who was postmaster of New Haven, and various others, including our aged and esteemed townsman, Benajah Douglass, the manufacturer. Rt. Rev. Bishop Littlejohn lived on the corner of Wooster and Warren streets. MT. Finch some twenty years ago removed to New YoDk and engaged in large merchantile business there. He was when a resident here one of the chief supporters of the First Methodist church as was also his friend the late Daniel Trowbridge. MT. Finch was a man of distinguished appearance, large, portly and imposing figure, and was a man of generous heart and high character. MT. Finch was for many years past in feeble health.

least conception of the game laws or their meaning asked the game dealers what their charge per pound for venison was, but the answer to all queries was Nothing. We cannot sell an ounce of deer meat. But we simply have hung the birds up for advertising purposes. The venison is the property of the Country Club, and for the opportunity that is granted us as a matter of advertisement we have agreed to distribute 1t pro rata among the friends of the members who are booked for venison steaks
 The Fish and Game Commissioners did not look at the matter in the same light as the Country Club members and their deputies ordered the game animals to be taken from the meat hooks and slowed away from view, stating that if every game dealer should act in the same manner the Fish and Game Commits sioners may be held responsible for an infringement of the game law, although the law does not state that male deer can or may be exposed in a market for the purpose of advertising the place in question:
 The consensus of opinion among sports men is that the Country Club is showing bad precedent by permitting a game dealer to hang up deer in view of all ob- servers. The law is intended for game protection, and with that object in view sportsmen should, in the opinion of the preservers of game, assist the Comnis- sioners to protect the noble species, which is being rapidly decimated.

A FULL PAID FIRE DEPART MENT FOR SAN FRANCISCO

The fight between the Insurance De- partment and the fire insurance com panies doing business in this State has been amicably adjusted. The trouble be- gan many months ago. When Commis sioner A. J. Clunie made move to com pei the companies to pay licenses and taxes, as required by California and Fed eral laws, he had a fight on his hands at once The refusal to do so was met with a refusal on the Commissioners part to issue to the companies licenses to do busi- ness, and as a consequence recourse was taken to the law, and number of cases have been before the courts and are still there.
 On the 14th inst. nearly all of the large insurance companies submitted proposi- ton, to which he agreed. By this the public in general will receive many bene- fits. Large sums of money will be paid by the companies annually, to be divided among the cities and cities and counties for the benefit of their fire departments, and San Fransico may soon be the proud pOssessor of a full paid Fire Department.

CoLUsA,s OLD CHAMPION.
W. S. Green Resumes Active Man agement of His Standby,
 the Sun.

Will S. Green, after having served his country in the office of United States Sur veyor General has resumed the active management of his bright newspaper, the Colusa Sun, which has been his pride for the past thirty-five years. During all this time the policy of the owner and manager has been to have the paper clean and free from sensationalism and its interests those of the county, in which 1t has a large circulation. The journal has found many readers outside of the boundaries of Colusa County, and not few, relying on the truthfulness of it's statements, have become residents of the county. To say that Mir. Greens efforts to increase the population of his home by publish ing truthfully the resources of that sec ton, have been fruitful, goes without saying.
 sirable citizens of the fertile valley of Colusa gladly attest that their attention was called to the place where they have made their homes by the journal over which Mr. Green preSides. Since his re- turn to private life Mir. Green has re- neWed his efforts to add more to the population, and to this end he has issued a special circular calling attention to the beauties of the scenery, richness of the soil and many opportunities for invest ments in profitable business and pursuits. While MT Green has always been factor in county politics, as well as in matters of state, even his political op ponents cannot say that he ever used the noWer of his paper to promote anything but that which he believed to be the right.

Moreover, with such a department the companies have agreed to a reduction in the rates of insurance in this city, which will be welcomed by the property. owners
 MT. Clunie wrote that he would agree to the proposals made. In speaking of the agreement with the companies MT. Clunie summarizes it in these words:
 The total amount annually to be paid under this agreement, if all companies join. is sS1.- sT0 s4 About ten companies have not as yet signed. but this is not because of ap unwilling ness to join in the agreement, but because of The amount to be paid by those actually signed is s23 ele S7 annually In my letter I state the reduction in rates to be at least s100,000 annu- ally. This is a low estimate as Is shown by son, the United States manager of the Royal Exchange Insurance Company at New York. and Chief Sullivan of our Fire Department, sent while was in New York
 In the proposition made by the com panies they agree to pay the commission within thirty days sum equal to l per pany signing, during 1897. on risks in this State, after deducting 5000 expenses of the controversy in the East. The Com missioner shall pay this money. propor- tionately to the treasurer of each county or city and county, to the credit Of the Fire Department fund thereof, or to the general fund if the treasurer refuses to receive it. If the distribution becomes burdensome or a treasurer refuse to ac- cept the money 1t can be paid into the State treasury. The companies further agree to make similar payments to the Commissioner in January of each year. during his term of office, the amounts To be based upon the net premiums as shown by the annual statements of business of the contracting companies. The second clause reads:
 We agree to readjust and reduce as soon as may be practicable the tariff rates now in force in the city and county of San Francisco to the schedule adopted some months ago, conditional upon the placing of the Fire Department of the city upon fully paid footing, such re- adjustment and rating to be applicable to all policies taking effect on or after July l, 1S9s."
 A request Is made that those companies previously licensed under an agreement with the Commissioner not to associate themselves with other companies in any tariff organization, be released from their promise, and this, with other requests. was agreed to.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,


 sos Broadway, July 21 F. J. Fletter. chairman of the Alame- da County Republican Central Committee, returned yesterday from his Eastern trip and soon after the assembling of the State committee he will call the county organization together to arrange for the election of delegates to the State conven- ton.
 The effort to insure a unit delegation to the State convention by electing the delegates at a county convention has been discarded, as it is found to be con- trary to the rule of action laid down by the last Republican State convention. The committeeman were sounded as to their preferences in the matter of the election of State delegates and some were favorable to the convention plan. Rod Church from the Fourth Ward, in which is the residence of pr. Pardee. said that he could not conscientiously advocate any such proposition, and he did not see how MT. Davis or Dr. Pardee could coun- tenance such plan, because both these gentlemen were delegates to the conven- ton which declared that delegates to State conventions must be elected at pri- maries or caucuses properly called by the respective county committees.
 w H. Friend, chairman of the Third Congressional District committee, was also somewhat in doubt regarding this point, and he sent to District Attorney Frank B. Ryan of Sacramento for the extract from the minutes of the conven- ton relating to the matter. The reply contained the following resolution, which was proposed by the credentials commit tee and adopted by the convention:
 Resolved, That 1t is the sense of this conven- ton that all delegates to the county, district and State conventions of the Republican party should be elected at primaries or caucuses regu- larly called by the County Central Committees of the several counties for that purpose and that only such delegates as are so selected at such primaries or caucuses shall be seated in any of the conventions of the party hereafter to ha held

 Three beautiful specimens of the deer family, per order of the leading marks men of the Country Club, were hung up in the stall of a prominent game butcher. and for two days they were viewed with why the Game and Fish Commissioners tolerated such an infringement of the laws

 Fong Hing told the jury that he had worked in the fuse works for eight years and had often been in the magazine, al though his duties did not require him to do so Several questions were asked him by jurors, which tended to show that the magazine was always easy of access by employees. The testimony showed that the the magazine two or three times a day and that the door was nearly always open. Some of the jurors were evidently of the opinion that the catastrophe might have been avoided had the magazine been kept locked. Joe Ling the last witness, said he had worked in the fuse factory for three months and had never been in the magazine.
 After deliberating nearly an hour the jury returned with their verdict.

 After a visit to the scene of the explo- sion this morning and the taking of some additional testimony, the Coroner's jury arrived at the above verdict in the case of each of the seven victims of the fright fui catastrophe of last Tuesday morning.
 On returning from the scene a short ses- sion was held by the jurors. and President r. c. Lukens Of the fuse works was called to testify. He was asked questions re- garding the amount of powder in the magazine, but stated that he could not tell anything definite, as such matters were left to the superintendent

Barrett stated that after taking Mrs. Hall from the ruins she lived a little time and died in the house of John Stephenson
 We Puck, the Chinese boss, told of the conversation he had with Quong Chung on the evening before the explosion.
