HANDSOME RETURN FROM AN
INVESTMENT MADE 81 YEARS Ago
One Of WiImiDgtOnS Most Prominent Citizens TeStiieS
to ihe Superiority Of The Investments
Offered by The AutuaI Life

The benefits to be derived from a life
insurance policy and the deposit Of the
same sum paid for premiums in a saw
ings bank, raises a question which is
frequently discussed by all classes Of
investors.
II man at the age Of 81 deposits In
a bank each year the sum Of S46.70, at
4 per cent. compound interest, he Will
realize at the end Of thirty-one years
the sum of S2,SSl.
b A policy just paid by The Mutual
Life Insurance Company OF New York
at the death of the late lssac II. Frank,
of this city. shows a decided advantage
over a savings bank account

Mr.. Frank policy No. 110S92, for $1,000

Mr.. Frank used his dividends in reduc-

lifetime surrendered to pay premiums
additions amounting to S931.0l, and the
amount now paid by The Mutual Life
is S2,011, making the total accumulated
by the company S2,942.05, which is S16l

CAR DROPPED

DiScIaim Responsibility
THIRTY.SEVEN WERE INJURED
But II Is Not Believed That ADY
Deaths Will RnSue as thc
Result

Syracuse. N. Y. April S.-While q
trolley car was crossing the James
street bridge over the Oswego canal
Saturday evening the bridge suddenly
gave way dropping the car and its 40
passengers to the canal bed. 30 feet
below. Several persons who were
crossing the bridge at the time went
down with The car, while q horse and
loaded lumber wagon piled on top Of
the heap. Thirty-seven persons were
injured. but it Is not believed that any
deaths will result.
Had the canal been filled with water
tho result Of the accident would have
been terrible. The car struck the tow
path end first and then slid of into the
mud at the canal bottom. where it
stuck. The water would have been
deep enough to cover all but few win
doWs and the front door and many of
the passengers would have undouhted-
ly perished
The question Of responsibility for the
disaster has yet to be decided. c. r.
Johnson. the electrical expert OF The
state railroad commission, arrived yes
terday and made an investigation, but
refused to talk for publication. The
city authorities declare that they are
not to blame for the condition OF the
bridge. and say that the state Is re-
sponsible. Minor canal officials de-
clare that the state is also blameless
AS the street railroad company an
nOunces that It had nothing 10 do with
the bridge except run its cars over a.
there is much interest In learning who
will ultimately be made 10 shoulder the
responsibility.

man about 81 years old and Weighing
about 1875 pounds. There are abrGslOns
on the back and left ankle. The sui
eide theory in the case. the police
think, will hardly hold good, because

WRECK OF A SCHOONER

Portland. Nc. April S.-The two
masted schooner Wendall Burpee OF
St. John, ~ b., went ashore of Cape
Elizabeth shortly before noon yester-
day, the captain, cook and one saiior
being drowned, while the mate only
was saved. The lost were Capt. Louis
Mersebury, George Foster. the cook,
both of st. John, and q sailor known as
English Charlie" The mate, John
Swenson. of St. John, managed to
reach the shore more dead than alive.
The schooner will undoubtedly be q
total loss, as It is expected she win
have her bottom pounded out. The
sea is running heavy, breaking high
above the schooner.
A furious gale swept along the coast
during the day, and according to the
story of the mate the captain thought
he was off Matinicus. Me, when the
fog suddenly lifted and he found that
he was near the rocks Of Cape Eliza
beth. It was then too late to change
the course and the schooner was car
ried high up in Board cove. about q
mile from the Cape Elizabeth life saw
ing station. Seeing that a wreck was
unavoidable the men decided to take
the yawl, and had proceeded but a
short distance when the craft was
swamped by a heavy sea. AS they
were heavily dressed all excepting the
mate went to their doom. The mate
after an awful struggle in the sIrf
nearly reached the shore. but sank
back exhausted and unconscious q
short distance away. He was rescued
by two fishermen, who seized him be-
fore he could be washed back into deep
