LA BoURGoGNE DISASTER
Five Hundred and Sixty-Five Lives
Were Lost

NEW YORK, July IA telegram
was received at the French line office
to-day stating that the survivors OF
La Bourgogne would arrive in Boston
by boat at O'Clock Friday morning.
They will probably come to New York
by rail. One of the agents Of the lines
will go to Boston to-day.
Acting General Manager Paul Faguel
gave out to-day the following list OF
the lost: First cabin, SS; second cabin,
lib; steerage, 246; officers and crew,
lis. Total, 565.
A telegram was received from Hall
fax last night by M. Faguel from S.
Cunard & Co., which stated that the
wreckage ON board La Bourgogne
proved to be such an obstruction that
passengers and crew We're unable to
reach the starboard lifeboats. There
was, therefore, a great rush to the
port boats. The crew endeavored to
launch them, but owing to the vessel S
heavy list to port, lit was impossible to
do SO.
The telegram stated that so far as
could be ascertained in Halifax, the Off
GERS and crew did their duty nobly.
Most of the sailors who We're saved
taken from the lifeboats. This dis
patch contradicted those which came
from unofficial sources.
M. Faguel received another telegram
stating that the lifeboat No. = was
taken possession of by some foreigners,
presumably sailors who were in the
steerage. 1t is presumed that if any
violence was shown toward the strug-
CLING passengers by any one, it was
by these sailors, and not by members
of the crew of La Bourgogne
HALIFAX On. 81, July 7.-Au the
survivors of La Bourgogne disaster
have departed for New York The en-
tire company, with the exception of Mr..
and Mrs. La Casse, left by steamer for
Boston. The two left by train to-day.
The Cromartyshire, which is at an
chor in the stream, is the center of in
tereSt. Hundreds of boats loaded with
people surround the ship. Many of the
curious go on board. No claim for
salvage has yet been made on behalf

the smooth paved avenues Of the city
on any bright afternoon by the variety
of positions assumed by those who are
doing the pedaling.
While the majority Of wheelmen are
at fault in this respect wheelwomen by
no means are exempt. If more faulty
positions are i'm evidence among men
cyclists than among those of the op-
posite sex it may be because a larger
proportion of the former give Little, if
any, consideration to the matter of the
figure they cut before onlookers. Men
who ride bicycles do so, as a rule, for
pleasure and recreation, and if they i'm
agine they ride easier by having their
heads and shoulders protruded out over
the handle bars or by having their
backs bent almost parallel with the
upper cross bars of the bicycle frame
they will assume those positions re-
gardless' of appearance.
Walking is the only method of loco
motion that may be classed as safer
than cycling, and even the pedestrian
is not absolutely sure of life and limb.
Statistics show that the risk taken by
the cycEst does not compare in size
with that incurred by the person who
ventures forth behind a horse.
Professor Bourlet of the Ecole des
BeauX Arts, Paris, one of the most
noted instructors in mechanics and
mathematics, concludes that bevel
gearing, if faultlessly made, has bet
ter running qualities than chain con-
struction, and that it possesses the
great advantage of comparative immu-
nifty from wear and tear.
There is no use of being a crank on
the subject of bicycling. The man who
talks of his wheel continually is almost
as much of a bore as the man who is
always telling about his dinner. The
wheel was primarily designed to be rid
den and the dinner to be eaten Either
as a conversational topic has it's lilni-
tations.
Perhaps the most common error of
cyclists is to suppose that freedom of
oscillation when the wheel is raised
from the ground is a sure indication of
fine running qualities in the bearings.
From repeated experiments Henry
Souther has found that the best bear
ings, adjusted to produce the greatest
efficiency under a load, will in no case
afford the number of oscillations which
may be obtained from the same bear
ings under a different adjustment. The
driving wheel of a machine made OF
poor material and poorly constructed
may be so adjusted as to spin and os-
cillate very freely and yet the bearing
may prove entirely deficient when put
to actual use under the rider.
Overcaution in cycling is source OF
danger Constant dodgers are pretty
sure to get hurt. Their frantic. half
blind efforts to escape fancied perils
frequently lead them into real dangers,
from which there is no escape without
a smash or at least a fall

In the matter of the estate of Samuel
Miller, deceased Order setting apart
property to the widow as exempt from
execution. Affirmed.
Section .465, c. G. P, provides that
the court may set apart for the use of
the surviving husband or wife Of the
decedent all the property which is ex-
empt from execution.
At common law the administrator or
executor was the legal beneficiary in all
policies payable to the insured. The
system in this State differs, in that
personality descends to the heirs, with
a special interest in the administrator
But in either case the personal repre-
sentative must collect and administer
upon 1t. Although set apart under the
statute, the money is administered
upon, and until so set apart is part of
the estate The order setting it apart
is a species of distribution.
1t is the invariable practice of all life
insurance companies, where no other
beneficiary is named, to make all poll
cies payable to the insured, his execu-
tors, administrators or assigns. There
is no rule that such administrators or
assigns are vested with any interest
in or right in reference to the policy.
The policy is the property of the in
sured in his lifetime.

The Act Of 1S71-72 (Stats. 1S71-72, p.

'in all cases provided for by this Code" I"
There is an entire absence of legisla-

ferred to in the words Of the Act: IF
in any trial in a civil case the jury be
for any cause discharged without find
ing a verdict the fees of the jury shall
be paid by the party who demanded the
jury, but may be recorded as costs If

Nor is the Act of 1895 (Stats. 1895. p.
26O amendatory of the Act Of 1S71-72,
and therefore does not repeal the ear
lier Act by implication. The earlier
Act embraces various subject matters
of legislation, of which only one is en-
braced by the Act of 1895.
While a special proceeding is not a
civil action, it has never been held that
