What does a railroad wreck
cost and how much money does
it put in circulation? AS a re-
suit of the Mentor, O., wreck
two insurance companies distrib-
uted to the heirs of the dead,
$266, 900. Of this $780, 900 was
paid on life policies, and S166. 600
on accident policies. So far as
local insurance circles know,
there remains yet unpaid by life
companies for death in this wreck
$3.50, 600 so that total sum of in.
surance money set free by the
disaster is, S416. 900, almost half
million, How much the com
paDy effected by the wreck will
have to pay is something of a
question, but the figures show
that S95, 900 will be paid for 10
deaths without litigation; injury
claims are estimated to represent
at the present time without liti-
cation; 5000, 900; the loss of the
engine stands for S25, 900 and the
library car for $40, 900. To these
figures is to added for incidental
loss not enumerated, such as de-
lay of trains, track repairs, the
total of this is $4,000, which
added to what the insurance
companies have disbursed or will
before the 90 days time for proof
|of death is up, makes the money
bursing power of a single
and quite ordinary wreck, $771,-
900 or three quarters of million
dollars.

WOULD DO AWAY WITH TAXES.
No Semblance of Graft az Flora. Ind,
and Officials Receive Only Small
Salary.

Officials of Flora propose to do
away with taxes, and at the next
regular monthly meeting of the
town board of trustees steps will
be taken in that direction. Flora
has a population of aver 1000,
having gained over 1000 in the
last six years. The salaries of
the town officials have never
been increased, remaining the
same as when the town was in
corporated. Contracts are nev-
er let, the street work being un-
der the supervision of the presi-
dent of the board of trustees,
whose salary is $25 per year.
The aggregate of the salaries of
the towns officers is only 5000
per annum, while the annual in
come from taxation and licenses
is about $1,000. AS result the
town now has over $4,000 in the
treasury. The 800, 900 will be
deposited at 4 per cent, interest
and this, with other income, will
relieve the town of taxes and
leave balance to add to the &C.
cumnlating surplus.

quote an observer, seemed stepped in
agony because he said. man in the
chapel was denying the Divine inspir;l-
ton of the Bible
Nobody rose to confess, and after an
interval of the greatest tension Mr.
Roberts leaped up, saying God has re-
vealed the name and the age of the
man. He is aged twenty-three- Oh
Lord, forgive
A few minutes later the evangelist
smiled joyfully, for. he said, the man
had changed his views, and there was no
need for him to confess publicly.
Mr.. Roberts. after speaking briefly
against the sin of skepticism, startled
his hearers by declaring that there was
a man present who had co-amitted sac
rilege. This created a painful sensation.
which was brought TO an end by the
missioner saying that the man must
make threefold restitution and confess
to his church.
Later he threw out challenge to one
who. he said,- doubted the revelation
Of God in the Scriptures. II the Scrip
lures were false, then might he (the
missioner) be removed; if true, then
might the doubter suffer. removal.
