READY AT LAST TO OBEY THE LAW.
Fire Insurance Companies Begging for Mer-

Fire Insurance Companies Begging for her-
cy Now-''Western Union" Doomed.
Jefferson City, No, July T.
Judge Givan Campbell of st. Louis,
representing all the seventY.three
foreign FIRE insurance companies
whose licenses to do business In this
state were annulled by the supreme
court for violation of the antitrust
law, and Thomas Bates of Chicago,
representing some twenty-five of the
companies, fled motion for a re.
hearing of the case in the supreme
court to day
They were anxious to know what
could be done by the companies in
order that they can be allowed to
do business again in the state, and
called upon Attorney General Grow
and superintendent of Insurance
Orear and stated the case to them.
These officials could give them no
encouragement and nothing will be
done now until the court acts on the
motion for rehearing. It is gener-
ally considered here that the COM
panies cannot be relicensed except
by order of the supreme court per-
mitting it.
Attorney Bates stated that the
opinion in the case was the most i'm
portant opinion relating to insurance
rendered by any court in the United
State, and that the managers OF the
companies admitted that It destroy
ed their western union; and that il
the court overruled the motion foI
rehearing they would be willing to
obey the law as declared in the opin'
ion, if allowed to continue in the
state.
The court meets on July IA, wher
it is expected the motion for rehear
ing will be acted upon. 1t is believ
ed the court will adhere to its former
opinion and overrule the motion for
rehearing.

interrupted by the Brazos Overflow.
Austin, Tex, July 7.-Governor
Slyers received a message from
Sealey to day over the Ions distance
telephone, saying that 1000 persons
who had taken refuge on a mound
three miles below there are slowly
perishing for the want of food. The
message said the refugees are sur.
rounded by poisonous reptiles and
skunks. Huddled together with the
human beings are several hundred
head of live stock. A number OF
those on the mound have received
bites from the reptiles, the message
adds, and are dying.
Dallas, Tex, July The long
distance telephone between Dallas
and Sealy was got in working order
last night. Deputy Sheriff S~earIn-
ger, who is active in helping direct
relief movements, said:
THE river here has fallen about
one inch to day. No relief trains
have yet reached here. With the aid
of glasses we have been able to see
this afternoon from this side of the
river to the Mound, about four
miles away. We counted thirteen
small boats, apparently lashed to-
gether at the Mound on which
800 or 400 persons have been con-
gregated for four days and nights.
Provisions, it seemed, were being
distributed from the boats, and we
could see struggles, as if the occu-
pants of the Mound were fighting
for the food. The boats seemed to
be from San Felipe and Sunnyslde.
RATIoNs FROM TIE GOVERNMENT.
Galveston, Tex, July 7.-On ap-
peal from Governor Sayers, the War
department has ordered the United
States eommissary department, at
San Antonio, to deliver 10000 ra-
tions to the adjutant of the state, for
the immediate relief of the destitute
of the foods. It has also ordered
all government boats at Galveston
to proceed at once to the scene OF
flood aud aid in the work of rescuing
people.
Richmond, Tex, July 7.-Business
is practically suspended to day OF
accouat of the food from the Brazes
river. Many plantations are under
water. All trains except those upon
the Southern Pacific west have beer
abandoned. Provisions are running
low and it is believed there will b'
from 5000 to 5000 persons to feed
from this place within a week.

BOSTON LITTLE CIRCLE ZINC &C

BOSTON LITTLE CIRCLE ZINC co.
ed in our columns advertisements of the
Boston Little Circle Zinc Co A great
deal of interest has been aroused in this
stock and James b. Smith, banker and
broker, at No. Church street, repre-
senting the company here, stated that
he had met with remarkable success in
New Haven and vicinity in introducing
this stock. Some of the most conserva-
tive business men, after careful inves-
tigation, had bought large blocks Of the
stock, and that from present indications
his extra allotment would soon be dis
posed of.
The company started out to place
thirty thousand shares on the market
and at the present time have less than
ten thousand shares to offer Mr.. Smith
disposed of his original allotment in
one week, and, after repeated requests,
secured an extra amount.
The subscribers in this city have re-
ceved their monthly dividend of one per
cent. on par ($lO,OO) ana from the re-
turns of the last week it looks as if the
stock would be withdrawn from the
market at an early date.
The price of this stock is now SO per
share. Mr.. Smith regrets that he has
been obliged to refuse several subscrip-
tons of one hundred shares each at
the original price, $3.50 per share, not
having received these subscriptions be-
fore the expiration of the original time
set, but, to show the confidence which
the public have in this stock, all of
these subscriptions have been placed at
So per share.
