HlLLMON CASE VERDICT.


LEAVENWORTH, Kan, Nov. 1S.-The
sixth trial o. the Hillmon case ended to-
night at $40 o'clock, when the jury, after
having been out for nearly eleven hours,
brought in verdict for Mrs. Smith, the
widow o. Hillmon, the plaintiff. The amount
of insurance given Mrs. Smith is s33 ,102 This
includes the interest on two policies. one in
the Mutual.Insuance Company of New York
and the other in the Connecticut Mutual for
$4,000 and s. 900, respectively. with interest
at 6 per cent. for twenty years. The case
was bitterly contested and will be appealed.
Two years ago the New York Life settled
with Mrs. Hillraon. Interest for twenty
years has almost quadrupled the claims. In
the five previous trials but one agreement
was reached. the jury then finding for the
plaintiff, but the United States Supreme
Court set aside the verdict
John w. Hillmon, upon whose life the in
surance was written, disappeared while on
a hunting trip near Medicine Lodge, Kan.
I'm 1879, and his companion claimed he had
been accidentally killed. The companies
charged fraud and sought to prove that the
body, which was afterward twice exhumed.
was that of a man whom Hilmon had muir
dered- The trials are said to have cost the
insurance companies almost 100000, and the
six long trials have cost the government as
much more. Mrs Hillmons interest in the
claims have been largely taken over by her
lawyers.

ANOTHER PERIL.
Concluded from First PageJ

I4adysmith, they would doubtless desire to
attempt it when the British ammunition is
at the lowest ebb. The diversion of Boer
units from Ladysmth toward Estcourt cam
not, it is claimed, be taken as any ndica-
ton that the Beers have given up hope of
capturing Ladysmitil. for their plan of cam
paign appear TO be far too skillfully mapped
out and tenaciously adhered to- to admit the
supposition that they have suddenly and
without sufficient cause renowned their
main objective. The present lack of devel-
opments around Ladysmith we'll be be-
lieved TO be the luil which precedes the
storm.
Many signs point to the quick relief of
Kimberley or the defeat of the British
attempt to achieve it, and 1t has appar-
emily been decided that Mafeking must take
it's chances. and Colonel Baden-Powell will
probably be given several more chances to
write facetious dispatches.
1t is interesting to note that among the
British naval brigade at Ladysmith are no
less than seven midshipn-en, none probably
over seventeen, among them being Sir Ed-
ward Chichester's sen. There are also two
naval engineers. This is the first occasion
on which naval Engineers have been actively
engaged at the front in a purely land CAM
paign.
The Admiralty has quietly bought 10000
suits and equipments for the men of the
naval reserve. Though these are scarcely
likely to be used in the immediate future
the purchase is one more indication of what
thorough preparations Great Britain is max
ing for any eventualites.

MIR. CARNEGIE'S REASON

He was induced to answer a few questions

little to say about it, 1t was very natural

This is not to be decided solely by REFER

replied. Il believe the world 10 be short OF

STEERS HIS BALLOON.
NJ. Santos-DumOnt Solves a Difficult
Airship Problem.

NEW YORK, Nov. ia dispatch to the
Herald from Paris says: m. Santos-Du-
mont, member of the Automobile and Aero
clubs. seems to have solved the problem Of
steering balloons. He made an ascent on
Monday that convinced the most skeptical
spectators. He went up at Vanguard. and
first directed his course toward the Eiffel
tower, which he encircled, then turned off
west, though a southwest wind was blow
ing at the time, and finally came down near
the Moulin at Bagatelle, in the Bots de
Boulogne.
IN Santos-Dumont's balloon is cigar
shaped and has a volume of 500 cubic me-
tres. 1t is provided with petroleum motor
for a screw at the stern, which only works
when the balloon is going against the wind.
All power in the motor is thus reserved for
modifying the direction of the balloon in
spite of aerial currents. NJ. Santos-Dupont
is said TO have arranged beforehand with
friends for the descent at Bagatelle. He
has also made a bet that in a short time
he will go up in his balloon and come down
upon the roof garden of the Automobile
Club, in the Place de la Concorde.'
