COMPELLED TO PAY.
The Common Pleas Court of Brown
County Decides Against the
Insurance Compuny.

J. M. Stump, of Pike township, lost
a barn and a small work shed by fire
on the 4th day of August, 1893. The
same was insured in the Farmers Mu-
tual Insurance Co., of Winchester.
The secretary and treasurer of said
company adjusted the loss, and al
lowed Stump 1892 and gave him $3.50
cash and promised balance by the fol-
lowing October. After the first pay
ment the company found that Stump
was carrying insurance in another
company and refused to pay balance,
claiming that they were already pay
ing more than they were entitled to
pay in fact should not have paid any
thing. The jury gave Stump verdict
for $189.O4. Mr.. Stump claimed that
he thought the insurance policy OF
the Underwriters of New York had ex'
pired when he insured in the Farmers
Mutual, and of course received no in
surance from them, and after the fire
the same was canceled.-Georgetowr

entrance seaward, and partly by fires
around which wild-looking figures
were busy with coffee pots and the
broiling of fish and beef. Tom knew
what it was by the fragrant and ap-
petizing odors.
''Small boats or pretty big ones with
out masts could pull right in here at
low water" he thought. "but that en-
trance would be almost corked up by
a high tide. 1t was a tip-top hiding
place for buccaneers"
1t was just as good for Cuban pa
triots, but Tom was shortly informed
that they never remained here long.
''It is too near strong posts Of the
spaniards," explained Col. Garcia, as
he and Tom were busy with broiled
fish and coffee. "It can be attacked
from the sea. There are others like it
here and there on the coast, and more
and larger caverns among the islands.
The Caribs and the colored refugees
know where they are, but they tell no
body. Here comes Gen. Maxine Go
mez, and your errand in CUBA and
mine, is done better and quicker than
hoped for"
Tom sprang to his feet and bowed re-
spectfully to the foremost of several
military looking men who were ap-
preaching. A very polite response was
given him, but Tom hardly felt like
saying anything. This whole affair
was too much for him, He had never
read anything to beat it. In any novel.
The Cuban leader did not seem to be

let's, but his uniform was only blue
flannel blouse, and Tom noted that his
spurs were tremendous. His sword
and sash were handsome, but his hat
was a common Panama without any
feather. His dark face was now lit up
with pleased expression, while he told
Tom how much he and Cuba thanked
him and his father and their friends
in New York for this venture of the Far
ragut.
"Now," he said, 81 must mount and
ride. Come out and take look at one
Of the armies of Cuba, with which we
are defeating 100000 of the regular
army of destroying Spain"
"Come," said Garcia; but at that mo-
mept a black man came hastily in and
said few words to Gen. Gomez.
"They are here!" shouted the gen.
eral. 80 quickly? They were informed
from the man-of-war. We will fght!
Forwardi"
Out of the cavern, on a run, went
every man; but there was no confusion,
for orders were shouted, swads came
together, officers took their places,
companies formed, and Tom was left
to himself for the time being.
"As close to the general as I can
keep" he exclaimed. 81 am going to

"Forwardl" he heard again from the
deep, cultural voice of the general
"Our position is at the ridge. If they
carry that they will cut us up!"

The Center of the Earth.

OF late years the general view has
been that the interior of the globe,
though partly liquid, is for the most
part solid. Some have considered that
section through the earth would
show the following:
~ An outer solid envelope, (2) n
semihuid envelope. (9 a fluid envel-
ope, "a smeifluid envelope. 90 a solid
nucleus. No. results from n reduced
temperature only No. 2 from n pres
sure and temperature not quite suffi
cient for liquidation, No. from a tenn
perature sufficiently high to produce
complete liquidation. No. 4 from Il
pressure so great as to prevent even
the terrific heat which most certainly
exists deep down in the earth from
completely liquefying the material on
which 1t works, and No. from a pres
sure which overcomes completely the
liQuefying power even of the maxi
mum heat of the interior.
This pressure Is estimated to be at
the center of the earth 7,1S0, 1893, 750
pounds to the square foot, a pressure
so enormous that no known substance
could fuse beaeath 1t. Even hydrogen
at the highest possible temperature
would under such conditions become
as hard as a diamond. Hence It seems
probable that, far from there being a
vacuum at the center Of the earth,
there is basis Of intensely solid mat
ter there.-Pearson's Weekly.

A Football incident In New York.


Mr. Frank w Graves during his
newspaper career witnessed many sim
gular scenes, but the oldest one hap
pened, according to Mr.. Graves, in the
old days when the big college football
teams played their star games on the
New York polo grounds on Thanksgiy-
ing day.
On the occasion mentioned Yale and
Princeton had played and Yale had
won.
Going up Broadway there walked a
dapper young Princeton man and n
girl. Going down Broadway at the
same moment were eight victorious
young Yale inen. They were happy,
but silent. and they came straight
down the street until they spied the
Princeton pair.
Then still In silence, moved by sin
gle purpose. the Yale men formed a
circle. and as the other pedestrians
made way for them they went around
and around the Princeton pair. At first
the young man was surprised, then an
gered. and at last he raised his cane
and made dash for liberty, whereup-
on the Yale men stopped and, without
a word, fell upon him as they do In
football, quietly. heavily and quickly.
Then, strengthening themselves again
into line, the eight Yalesans stopped
moment and In concert raised their
hats to the thoroughly frightened girl
and silently resumed their march down
the street.-Saturday Evening Post.
