The stormy season in Great Britain
and the continent has ruined the fruit
crop and American fruit is being i'm
ported in larger quantities than ever
before. In one week $4,000 boxes of
California fruit were sold. American
apples, which hitherto could not be
shipped until later in the year, now
have brisk trade. If we could send
them over few shiploads of Minneso-
ia Wealthys, we could surely top the

rs A NEW DEPARTURE
German Company Branches Out In
to Machinery Insurance. -
Takes Risks Against Damages by In
experienced Workmen, Boiler
Explosions and Accidents
= ~: of Various Kinds. -.

To the numerous branches of this in
and fire insurance, insurance against
burglars, against damage caused by
hail, bursting of water pipes, ETC.
quite recently a new and important one
has been added in Germany, viz, the
insurance of machinery =,
The Stuttgarter Mit-und Ruckver-
Bicherungs Aktiengesellschaft Mutual
Reinsurance company OF Stuttgart) Is
the first to take up this, to Germany
novel idea. Among the branches of
trade which are likely to take an in
terest in this insurance, the electric in
dustry ought to be mentioned in the
first place; it's extensive wire and cable
nets, it's many masts and poles, etc.,
are exposed to the severity of storm and
weather all the year round, SO that in
spite Of every care and attention serious
harm. may be done at any time. But
other branches of trade will find this
sort of insurance benefit The blown
down chimney of a factory or a boiler
explosion may cause serious harm to
machine houses, or an inundation may
damage turbine wheels and other ma
chinery In such cases the benefit of
the injured parties being insured is
apparent. * j.. %<z- 5>>.<s
The company also insures against
! damage done to machinery by negli-
gence or inexperience on the part OF
workmen. It is almost impossible to
have at all times well-trained and ex-
perienced hands in ones employ, and it
is by no means an infrequent occurrence
that machinery comes to more or less
serious harm through the fault Of some
hand or other and the chances of the
owner of, factory being able to re-
cover from such loss are very few and
far between. The, prospectus Of the
company also includes damages caused
by deficiency Of the material Of which
machines are manufactured if such
faults are detected after the term Of
the manufa acturer's guaranty has
elapsed. Some machines work beaut1,
4 fully for years and break all Of a sud.
den, owing to a trifling fault in the
material. In many cases the manufac-
##turer Of the machine which has sud

to repair damages, but this is not al
ways possible, and either: q lawsuit

CHIEF WILL INVESTIGATE.
Arrest of Calhoun and Reynolds
VIII be Incurred Into.


Upon the return to the city of Pa
trolman T. ]. Farrell, who is in
Brunswick with his sister. Mrs. Ma
mic Lucree, who is said to be quite
i'll, the superintendent of police will
have an official investigation of the
arrest of Sam D. Calhoun and Alto
Reynolds on Monday night
The man named Peterson, who was
put down as prosecutor, has never
shown up and the police cannot find
him. The officers do not even know
if there is really such a person and
the police chief intends to probe the
matter to the bottom. Calhoun and
Reynolds were arraigned before Recor-
der Myrick yesterday and dismissed.
Mr.. Calhoun made the same state
ment of the affair as was given In
the Morning News and contended that
he had every reason to believe that
he was about to be robbed. Because
of the statement made by Calhoun the
police are particularly anxious to learn
something about the individual who is
called Peterson. The superintendent
has made a thorough investigation of
the charge that Calhoun did not re-
ceive medical attention promptly.
He ascertained that very shortly af-
ter the arrest the prisoner was at
tended by DR.. Courshon, and THAT at
about the same time DR.. Johnson ar
rived at headquarters, but returned
home when he found that another ply
stefan had already reached the station
house. The superintendent calls atten-
ton to the fact that late at night it is
impossible to secure the services of a
physician with the dispatch that marks
the answering of calls in the daytime.
The physician, however, can show
that he treated Calhoun shortly after
the young man had been locked up, a
period extending not over half an hour.

asking that her pension continue in
force, also received the favorable con-
sideration of Council.
The petitions of Alfred NJ. Powell
and r. F. Flowers, asking that the city

cause their health was impaired by

jacent to that occupied by them, were
reported upon adversely by the Streets
and Lanes Committee.

dry culture department, asking that
they be increased from 81 to $3.50 a
day, received an adverse report.
petition from three property own
ers, asking that Stone street be open
