 ed President of the League.


 ed President of the League.
 The Connecticut Interscholastic football league held a meeting in New Haven on Saturday and elected the fol- lowing officers: Henry Cook, Water bury president; Dibble. New Haven, vice president; Thoms of New Britain, treasured; Wheeler of Bridgeport, sec retary. The following schedule of games was adopted: Waterbury High school vs New Britain High school at New Britain and Hillhouse High school of New Haven vs the Bridgeport High school at Bridgeport on the sec ond Saturday i'll November. The win ners of these games will meet for the final game on the Yale gridiron in New Haven on Thanksgiving Day. Water bury is not at all pleased with the idea of playing in New Britain. The field there is not of the best and the most cordial treatment is not accorded to visiting players. Several players on the local High school eleven saw the New Britain Meriden High school game in Meriden on Saturday. The New Britains won by q score of 50. The local boys think they have a stronger team than either of the two. The local teams first game will be with Bristol High school in this city on next Saturday. A large crowd should turn out and give the boys the glad hand.

COMMISSIONED OFFICERS.
Three of Them Among the Killed
 in the Samar.

Insurgents in the Philippines Nearly
 Wipe Out an Entire Company of the
 Ninth Infantry-Attacked While at
 Breakfast-Insurg Secured All
 the Supplies and Most of the Arms
 Manila, Sept BOA disastrous fight between United States troops and in- surgents occurred yesterday i'll the is land of Samar, near Balangiga. Il large body of insurgents attacked Company c, Ninth infantry, only twenty-four members of the company escaping. All the others are reported to have been killed.
 The company was at breakfast when attacked and made determilfod re- sistance; but the overwhelming num- bers of the insurgents compelled the Americans to retreat. Of the suryiy- ors, |who have arrived at Basey, eleven are wounded.
 According to the latest returns the strength of the company was seventy two. The survivors include Captain Thomas w Cornell, First Lieutenant Edward A. Bumpus and Dr k. $. Gris- wold, surgeon.
 Captain Edwin V. Bookmiller of the Ninth infantry reports that General Hughes is assembling a force to attack the insurgents. The insurgents cap- tured all the stores and ammunition of the company and all the rifles except twenty-siX.
 Washington, Sept 30.--In addition to the enlisted men, three commissioned officers of Company c. Ninth infantry. are supposed now to have been killed in the action in Samar, Philippine Islands, last Saturday.
 The officers are: Captain Thomas W. ConneH First Lieutenant Edward A Bumpus, Major Surgeon R. $. Gris- weld.
 A question having arisen as to the accuracy of the cablegram received at the war department yesterday from General Chaffee, the cable company was directed to repeat it.
 SThe repetition developed some irreg- ularities that materially change tue message As corrected the dispatch reads:
 ''Manila, Sept 29.-Adjutant- General Washington: Hughes reports follow ing from Bassey, southern Samar: Twenty men, Company c, Ninth regiment, US. infantry. eleven wound eu, nave Just arrived rom Balanglga; remainder company killed. Insurgents secured all company's supplies and all rifles except three. Company was at tackled during breakfast morning Sep tember 28; company 72 strong; officers, Thomas W. Connell captain; Edward 4 Bumpus. first lieutenant; Dr R. s. Griswold, major-surgeon."
 As corrected. the dispatch shows that Companp c of the Ninth suffered the disaster No company was men toned in the dispatch made public yes terday. The serious discrepancy be- tween the original and the corrected dispatch, however, is that the latter iIl- dicates that the commissioned officers of the company are missing, perhaps killed, while the former indicates they escaped.
 The father of Captain Cornell lives in New York. He telegraphed to the war department to-day that he is in receipt of a cablegram from the quar- termaster of the Ninth regiment say ing that his son had been killed in ac- ton. He asks for confirmation of the dispatch from the war department, but tthe officials here are unable at this time to confirm the information

CHARLIE WAH DEAD.
Worked in a Laundry in the Brooklyn
 District.

District.
 Sadness and gloom prevail in the Chinese colony in Brooklyn to-day, for the angel of death has entered into their midst and claimed one of their fellow countrymen as her own. A dead Chinaman in Waterbury is some thing that one seldom hears or reads about This condition of affairs is due as much to the secrecy which hangs around the death of q native of the Celestial empire as to the fact talt the mortality rate among the local Chinese people is very low. Such ia the secrecy that hangs around the death of Charlie Wah, as the little Chi naman who was employed ill the Ting Wah laundry on Bank street, in the Brooklyn district, was known by the residents of Brooklyn, that but little can be ascertained as to the circuin- stances of his death. Ting Wah Charities brother. no longer conducts the laundry. He sold out several weeks ago to q fellow countryman, in whose employ Charlie remained. Char lie had been sick for several weeks, so it is said. and on Saturday evening died. The news spread like wild fire throughout the Brooklyn district. A number of persons went to the laun- dry and tried to gain admittance to view the remains of the dead China man, but no one was admitted, not even those who wanted their laundry. Alderman D. J. Mahaney, proprietor of the building i'll which the laundry is conducted, was one of those desirous of viewing the remains of the dead Chinaman. The owner of the laundry did not grant his request. No China man is dead. Alls lies. No Chinam3n dead" was all that the laundry pro- prietor would say. But the laundry is closed again to-day, and that is sig nificant. What will be done with rhe remains is not known, but they are geenrally sent to New York.

BURNING MONEY.

No business man would sleep quiet
" without insurance on his building
and his stock. Yet the chances are
that fire will never injure a cents
worth of his property. He pays his
fire insurance premiums gladly. we'll
knowing that his money burns If
his building doesn't.
But every man must die. Each
hour, each minute there are new
widows, new orphans, new sorrows
from involved estates. The wonder
is that any sane man will let an in
slant pass without putting every
possible safeguard around his family.
Money in good insurance company
is better as an investment than in a
bank. 1t brings protection that no
other money affords. The Mutual Life
Insurance Company of New York, for
instance, has returned more than

million dollars) to its policy holders.
Other companies have returned less
amounts, but still large. Can anyone
realize how many hearts have been
made glad. how many families have
been held together, how much black
despair has been avoided by the dis
tribution of these immense sums?

LlFEiNsuRANcE DISBURSEMENT

M. Sidney A. Witherbee, of Detroit,

shown his belief in the Investment
feature Of life insurance by taking
out policies in The Mutual Life In
surance Company of New York to
the amount of $500, 600. In case of
death his estate will receive from the
Company $500. 600 of twenty-year five
per cent. gold bonds, yielding an in
come of $l5, 900 a year, or, if preferred,
the bonds will be bought outright by
the Company at $13O.5, returning to

be allowed to run their course, at the
end of the twenty year period the es-
tate would receive their face $500, 000)
and it would have received an equal
amount in interest, or 5000, 600 in all.
Mr.. Witherbee says he regards The
Mutual Life Insurance Company's
bonds as practically as good as gov

for an estate or an individual to find
any other Investment as good.

REPUBLICAN, ADMINISTRATION
ENDORSED.

The result of the election in New
Jersey is decided proof that the people
Of the State endorse the policy of the
Republican party and that they are
thoroughly satisfied with the wise and
economical administration of State
affairs for the last.seven years. Franklin
Murphy has carried the state by a
majority greater than Governor Voor-
bees did three years ago and there is
every evidence that Republicanism is
growing in favor. The result is es-
pecially encouraging in view of the fact
that.many of the Gold Democrats fol-
lowed Mr.. Cleveland's lead and voted
for Seymour.
