EBY'S ACCIDENT POLICIES
to $1O,OOO-Police Freely
EXP ess Their Belief.

Little additional Information was gained
yesterday regarding the alleged holp-up of
Oliver f. Ely near Millersville Monday and
the shooting which so lacerated his right
hand that amputation was necessary as
the detectives did not deem the story told
by the man of sufficient Importance to
necessitate a trip to that place for investi-
cation. 1t Is said. however, that a full in
vestigation will be made In addition to the
5000 accident policy in the STANDARD Life
and Accident Company, of Detroit. the
policy for which was found in his pocket,
1t was learned that Eby had another policy
for 5000 in the United States Casualty
Company, of New York, which was taken
out about a week ago through the local
agent. Among the police officers and others
the belief Is freely expressed that Eby shot
his own hand off for the purpose of obtain
ing the insurance money under his policies,
but wonderment is also expressed, If such be
the case, that he should resort to the story
told of robbery, when a simple statement
OF an accident would have more fully
covered the ground and aroused less sus-
picion than the conflicting stories of the
hold-up already told to the officers. 1t has
been learned that Eby was at the livery
stable in the morning and hired a rig. AT
this time he had a gun or what was sup
posed TO be a gun, In a case. In the after
noon he hired another rig and the gun,
which had been left in the one used in the
forenoon, was transferred to this one. One
he admitted having received Insurance on
its loss through "mokeying' with a buzz
saw. The injured man was doing well yes
terday, but could not be seen.

MARION, Ind, May 16-O. F. Ely, who
claimed he was held up and shot by high
way robbers. near Indianapolis, was a resi-
dent OF this city up TO about two months
ago. About the first OF the year he was
burned out in this city III a few weeks
later he was burned out again in another
part OF town. Eby is Il son-in-law of Thorn
as Sherman, a prominent real estate and
pension agent of this city. Mr.. Sherman
was seen to-day and said he knew nothing
Of the affair until he read the morning pa
pers. He had just written his daughter TO
find out the facts. He thinks only part of
the story was given in the morning papers.
Mr.. Sherman said hat several weeks ago
Eby was held up in St. Louis and robbed.
The 5000 accident insurance policy which
was found on Ely was purchased of Wiley
* Bogue, In this city, about two months
ago. About two weeks ago. Mr.. Bogue says,
his firm received & letter from Ely asking
If he could secure 5000 more of the same
kline OF insurance in the same company.
He was refused, for the reason the COM
pany would not increase the risk.

Increase Of Population.

Some interesting statistics In regard
to the increase OF population have Just
been compiled by Sir Robcr; GlfIon. a
distinguished English expert on this
subject. lie shows that England now
has possessions on all i've continents.
and that quarter OF the population
OF tho entire earth Is subject to her
Euz.rainty. The extent Of territory
owned by England amounts TO Il. 3.000.-
COO square miles. and on this immense
tract Is population Of $4,000. 900.
During the last twcnty-scvcn years tho
English realm has Increased by asst
600 square miles. and within the same
period i25.0CO 600 have been added to
the population.
Since 1871 the population OF tho
United Kingdom-England. Scotland
and Ireland-has increased from a.
000. 900 to 10000. 900. At the beginning
OF this century England. Scotland and
ireland had n population o. II .o0o. 600.
and France OF 10000. 900. and ya, today
the proportion OF population In both
countries Is almost alike. Russia has
increased her population by 10000. 900
since 1870. the result being that she
has now total population of 13o.-
100000. Germany had n population Of
20,00o.oO0 at the beginning OF this cen
tury; now she had between $4,000 900
and 60.O00.000 OF whom almost n quar-
ter is the result OF increase OF births
over deaths. Germany, too, is making
vast strides as n colonial mower and
her population in those distant pos
sessions already amounts to n con-
siderable number.
