Pennsylvania Insurance Company
Barred From Illinois.

The American Assurance Company OF
PENNSYLVANIA has sought TO invoke the aid
of the circuit court in Its efforts to obtain
a license to carry on business In Illinois.
In a petition for a writ of mandamus pre-
scented TO the court at Chicago, the COM
pany recites that 1t has been refused IL
cense by VIM. r. Vredenburgh, insurance

refusal of the license upon the theory that
a foreign company licensed to do health
and accident business under the casualty
law. and life insurance business under the
life law, may not issue sing policy COW
ering both kinds of business. The petitioner
asserts that 1t is Incorporated under the
laws of Pennsylvania, has a capital stock
of $4,000, and has deposited with the In
surance commissioner OF Pennsylvania
slOO. OOO in securities as a protection to Its
policy holders.

Assailaut Of Girl.

Bob Etheridge was shot to death by a
mob nine miles from Summerland. Saluda
county, S. c., about o'clock last night.
1t was the intention Of the father of the
child whom he made a brutal attempt to
assault last Thursday to take him to the
scene of his crime and there shoot him to
death, but he was overtaken by the mob.
Etheridge was placed upon dry goods
box and asked If he had anything to say.
He refused to talk, further than to say
that he was guilty. The mob then pro-
coded to riddle his body with bullets. The
mob numbered 200 men.
Etheridge was employed at the home OF
West Thursday afternoon he asked the
little girl to accompany him to the barn
to feed the stock. 1t was while there that
Etheridge made desperate effort to as
sault the little GIRL placing his hand over
her mouth to muffle her screams. She was
horribly bruised, but the negro failed IN
his purpose.
1t was reported yesterday that the girl
could not recover from her injuries, and<her
death was expected at any moment Last
night, however, a long-distance message
from the attending physician stated that
there was some hope of her surviving.

THE CUBAN UPRISING.
An Appeal to the United States Not
Unlikely.

The increasing uneasiness over insurrec-
tionary manifestations in the western part
Of Cuba was Quieted to a slight degree at
Havana last night by decree of President
Palma appointing Gen. Rafael Montaivo,
secretary of public works, to be in direct
charge of all military operations against
the insurgents President Palma also de-
creed the increase of the rural guards TO
1000 the number contemplated In the Dill
introduced at the last session of Congress.
There Is a considerable discussion as to
whether, in the event OF Cuba being I'M
able to suppress the Instruction, she
should ask the United States for assistance,
or whether the United States may not in
tervene under the terms of the Platt amend
ment without such request being preferred.
In the meantime the government assumes
that 1t is entirely able to cope with the Sit
uation, although the condition Of unrest
may continue for several weeks.
Many men who served as officers in the
Cuban revolutions against Spain yesterday
visited or telegraphed to President Palma
rendering him their services for the sup
preston of the insurrect1on.
A special train last night took 100 rural
guards from Santa Clara and fifty artil-
lerymen from Havana to Pinar del Rio.
Not even the railroad officials have been
informed of the precise point Of disembar-
kation of these forces.
1t is evident that the Pinar del Rio In
surgents are concentrating in the vicinity
of the city Of Pinar del Rio intent on oc-
cupying it for their headquarters.
Both the government and the Western
Railway telegraph wires were cut yesterday
between Consolation del Sur and Pinar del
Rio for several hours. Finally a guarded
train took workmen from Pinar del Rio
and repaired the lines. The workmen were
not molested but 1t Is expected that the
telegraph wires will be cut again.
Last night the telephone wires in that re-
gion were cut. Numberless rumors are
afloat of fighting in the western part Of the
province of Havana, but the only facts that
have materialized are that Bandera's band,
which has been increased to seventy. while
proceeding near the railroad between Guam
ajay and San Antonio de los Banos. en-
eountered eight rural guards. who imme-
diately surrendered, were disarmed, and
let CO.
Other smaller bands have gone out In
that vicinity and probably will concentrate
with Bandera's force. The latter has at
tackled and rified stores and stolen mules
and horses at pleasure. The band stopped
one railway train and shot at an automo-
bile.
Many revolutionsts are reported to have
left Guanajay, including Col. Llaneras, who
was captured with a negro companion and
a coach loaded with arms, ammunition,
medicines and twenty machetes.

Fires in the Iron Ranges.

Absen C of wind has been keeping in
check forest fires on the Mesaba and YER
million ranges in Minnesota. Millions
OF dollars worth of property in towns
and in mines are in peril, and escape
depends on the direction and force of the
wind. People at various points are back
firing to prevent the encroachment of the
fires.
Great apprehension is felt for the newer
towns, where brushwood and trees still
stand in close proximity. Fear is also felt
for many of the homesteaders north of the
Mesaba range. There are hundreds Of
these. The Mesaba and Vermiliion ranges
are covered with a pail of smoke.

A representative of the Painters Union

plumbers who have been locked out and
that they will not work on buildings on
which non-union plumbers are employed.
The delegates of the Carriage and Wagon
Workers Union reported that they were
making strong fight and were hopeful of
success.
Delegate Milford Spohn said he did not
want the trades unions of the District to
lose sight of the fact that the building
trades are resisting with all their force the
open-shop movement that had taken root
here.

The stand taken by the building trades
