WANTED IN MONTGOMERY.
Loeb and Hall Got in Their Work I'm
That City.

Loeb and Hall were the subjects Of
letter that Superintendent of Police Screw
en- received yesterday from A Gerard,
chief Of police at Montgomery. The let
ter was but a confirmation, with details,
of the telegram of the day before, which
stated that the men were wanted in Mont
gomery for work similar to that done
here.
The only variation in the scheme, &C
cording to the letter of the chiefs, is that
in Montgomery the men represented
themselves 90 be peddlars. They pre-
tended TO buy bill of goods from one
of the wholesale houses of that city, stat
ing, as in the cases here, that they would
return shortly and pay for the goods, but
they never came back. After che men
had gone IL was found that a quantity
of gloves and silk handkerchiefs were
missing, and subsequent inquiries at the
express Office showed that two men an
swering the description of the supposed
peddlars had sent to William Cohn of st.
Paul a package that is supposed
TO have contained the stolen goods.
Whether the goods were recovered or not
the letter does not say.
The men were in Montgomery on July
&c and seemingly stayed there but one day
The letter closes with the repeated re-
quest that the pictures of the men be sent,
and the statement that the chief would
like to get hold of the prisoners after the
authorities are through with them here.

Read This Carefully, Then

Mr.. Ben Foster bought home on the
instalment plan in 1879, paying s25 per
month and interest; at the same time he
took an endowment policy of life insur-
snce for 5000 in an old line company He
felt that in event of his death before he
had finished paying for the house, his fam
lily would not have to sacrifice it, In the
same year his friend, Sam Dean, moved
into a house across the street, paying $50
a month rent. He laughed at Foster for
buying property, saying it was cheaper
to remit Dean also insured his life for
5000, but claimed that he could invest
his money better than any one else so he
took the cheapest assessment insurance he
could find. He rented his home and rent
ed his insurance, each by the month and
at actual COST and had his money S
worth" so he said, as he went along.
Foster and Dean are now over so years
of age, and in talking over old times said
Foster: II have just had an offer of 5000
for my house; l don't like to sell it; ii has
been my home for twenty years" NO"
replied Dean, don't do 1t. We are get
ting old and house is a pretty good place
to go to. 1 wish l had done as you did
Here have paid out in rent during all
these years nearly as much as you are
offered for your house, and have nothing
to show for it," Yes" said Foster, land
l paid the last premium on my policy last
year and now Ii is worth $1,000 in cash"
THAT is where I have made another mis-
take" answered Dean. MY insurance is
costing me four times what it did at

AN INCENDIARY BLAZE.
Very Queer Fire on the West Side
Yesterday Morning.

The store OF Reuben Cody at 542 Har-
rison street was Quilted by fire early yes
terday morning. The fire appears I'M
doubtedly to have been of incendiary or
igin. 1t was discovered about 2:S0 o'clock
and an alarm turned in from box IS
shortly after engine companies Nos. and
8 responding.
The firemen, on arriving. discovered a
small blaze in an alley in the rear of
the store, which was soon extinguished.
They were gathering up their hose to de-
part when their attention was attracted
to the interior of the store. Effecting an
entrance they were surprised to find the
store on fire in several places. The first
fire had been in pile of rubbish across
the alley and entirely disconnected from
the store. Supt. Mcguire made an inves-
tigation and found that a can of kero-
sene had been overturned upon the floor
and that the taps of a barrel of gin and
one of whisky had apparently been turn
ed on and their contents were spread
ing over the floor. BY the time the fire.
men got in their work on the inside the
stock of goods had been pretty thorough
ly damaged.
Cody, who occupied the place as a bar.
grocery and dwelling, said that every
thing was all right when he closed at
midnight and that he had no idea how
the fire originated. supt. Mcguire placed
a policeman In charge and later made
a report of the matter to Supt. Screven
of the police. The matter is being looked
into by the detectives. Cooley had 81, 800
insurance on stock, 500 on fixtures and
$500 on household goods.
