Pathetic Insurance Appeals

According to the New York Insurance
Times, experiences in the agency field by
all classes of fire insurance companies are at
this period Of the year very disheartening.
The older companies are losing their renew
ais in the second and third class cities by the
thousand, and usually attribute it to in
creased competition, but the newly organ
lied companies and the latest foreign ar
rivals insist that they are not the recipients
OF the lost premiums. The question the
agents ask each other-where are the prem
iums we had on our books last year? All
sorts of explanations are given, but the
companies, new and old, are not consoled
by explanations. They know they are los
ing ground by the reduction in rates as
well as by the dropping of risks They are
not bothered by explanations but by de-
creased premiums. We have sincere SYM
pathy for the hosts of special agents now on
their travels from agency to agency trying
to whoop up the tagging premiums accounts.
This is about the only recourse the compa-
MES have in such emergencies. They are
pathetic in their appeals for business.

CRUEL FlEND KILLS A CHILD.
CRUsHES IN HIS SKULL AND sTABs
HIM MsREPEATEDLN.

The Murderer Looked Upon as a De-
generate of the Most Biood-Thirs-
ty Type-TaISes Two Boys Into a
Woods for the sole Purpose of
killing Them, But One Escapes.
Corpse of His Victim Weighted
and Sunk in "a Creek After the
killing.
Philadelphia, Jan. 16.-The body of s.
year-old Percy Lockyar, who is believed to
have been murdered on Friday night by
young man named Samuel Henderson,
was to-day found in the bottom of Reddies
creek, and there seems to be little doubt
in the minds of the police that young Hen
derson is guilty of the crime. He is now
locked in a cell at police headquarters.
The body of the child, when found. was
weighted by two heavy stones, one around
his neck and another about his ankles
His skull was crushed in and there was
knife thrust just above the heart and
similar wounds in his breast side and
forehead, while on one side of his face
was long cut, extending from below the
eye to the chin.
From what the police have been able to
learn the crime seems to be one of the
most horrible character, and If its details
are true 1t stamps young Henderson as a
degenerate of the worst type He does not
seem to realize the enormity of his crime
Yesterday, after his arrest, he admitted
a knowledge of the knife thrust, but said
it was due to the child accidentally lun-
ming against an open knife Henderson
became alarmed at this, and said he threw
the boy into creek. To-day. however.
when shown the mutilated body of the
child, he admitted that he was responsible
for those cuts as well, but still persisted
that 1t was an accident
The police, however, believe it was
planned murder in which the guilty one
also purposed ending the life of another
small boy, Willie Addison, amd z years.
Henderson, it is claimed, has been reading
trashy novels of the wild western descrip-
ton, and he was imbued with desire to
duplicate the bloody deeds of some of the
imaginary desperadoes, whose lives were
pictured therein. The police assert that
Henderson accompanied Lockyar and Ad-
olson. to the woods yesterday, and instead
of any accident happening to either Hen
derson tied both children to a tree Addi-
son broke away and ran home 1t was
then that Percy Lockyar's death was ac-
complished.
William Morton, the coroner's physician.
who examined the thrust above the heart,
said that 1t was the cause of the death of
the little fellow. The police were searching
for the body ell last night and II was not
until after daylight this morning that 1T
was found. Henderson will be given a
hearing tomorrow morning.

ALZATE A BOLD SWINDLER.
Once FIeeced the Havana Lottery by
Forged Tickets.

Mexico City, Jan. 16.-The police are still
looking for members of the group of con-
fidence men composed of Americans Mex
leans and Spaniards
Jose Alzate, alias Amigo, one of the
gang, supposed to have fed in the direc-
ton of Guatemala, is a native of Andelu-
sia, and perpetrated, some years ago, an
astonishingly bold and successful swindle
on the Havana lottery, counterfeiting tick
cts that had won prizes and obtaining the
money He finally got a ten years SEN
tence in Cuba for counterfeting interna-
tional revenue stamps, but managed to
have the sentence shortened by pretending
he was an innocent man prosecuted by con-
spirators who were trying to get his for
tune, which was buried in a distant part
of the island. The people, however who
procured his release and furnished him
money were sWlndied, for Amigo ran
away, coming to Mexico. Here he carried
on his criminal practices, and was one of
the leading spirits in the gang that vic
timized Francke.

ENGLAND's OFFER TO CHINA.
willing to Loan s6O,OOO,OO on Ger
tain Conditions.

London, jan 1.-THE Pekin correspond
ent of the Times says yesterday Sunday
Sir E. Claud Macdonald, British AM
bassador to China, in the course of an
interview with the Tsung Ii Yamen board
of foreign control, stated that England
was willing to assist China to liquidate the
Japanse indemnity, and would provide a
loan of f120OO,000 at par, to run 30 years,
the service to be per cent net, including
sinking fund bonds, as follows: First, the
opening of the treaty ports Talien Wan,
Sing In and Nan Ming. thereby increase
the Chinese revenues; second, a declara-
ton that no portion of the Yang Use I<iang
valley shall be alienated to any other
power; third, the right to extend the Bur-
NAH Railway through Nan province (the
southwestern in China).
'In the event of her default China is to
place certain revenues under the control
of the imperial customs. On this basis the
negotiations will proceed. China regards
them as advantageous, but fears the
threatening oposition of France and Rus
sia and especially in the opening of
Talien Wan and Nan Ming"
The Temps, commenting on the Sing In
which the correspondent describes as in
Hugan province, is a telegraphic error,
and means either Slang Kiang, in Hu Pei
province, or Slang Tfang in HUI Nan
province
