PURIFIED LIFE INSURANCE.
Benefits from New Law, Which Re-
mains Substantially Unchanged.

Through the influence of Gov.
Hughes, the New York Legislature de-
cided to make no radical changes in
the new insurance law. 1t was pointed
out by Gov. Hughes that the New York
law has already accomplished wide
spread reforms, with proportionate
benefits 10 policyholders, and that 1t
should be given a thorough trial be-
fore any amendments were seriously
considered. 1t is estimated that the
cost of the mismanagement of the past
did not average more than 20 cents to
each policyholder, while the benefits
to present and future policyholders
will amount to many times more and
be cumulative besides. The speed
craze of the big companies and the ex.
cessive cost of securing new business
was the most extravagant evil of the
old arrangements. Under the new
regime the cost Of new business has
already been greatly reduced, along
with other economies.
The showing made by the Equitable
Life Assurance Society in its report
for 1906 was strong argument
against meddling with the new law.
In the Equitable alone there was a
saving of over 100000 in expenses,
besides an increase in the income
from the Society's assets amounting
to as much more. The ratios of the
Euuitable's total expenses to it's total
income was 1920 in 1904, 1882 in
1905, and only 14.4SFo in 1906. The
dividends paid to Equitable policy
holders in 1906 amounted to $7,2S9,734,
which was an increase Of more than
go over 1905.
While the Equitable made better
showing than any other big company,
all reported radical economies and I'M
der such conditions the Legislature
wisely decided to leave the law sub
stantially as it stands.

SEVEN KILLED IN A MINE
TWO EXPLOSIONS OF GAS IN
SHAFT At PRIcEBURG, PA.
Victims Are Horribly Disfigured-
Wild Excitement Prevails Among
Families Of the Miners.

Scranton, Pa.-Seven men were
killed outright and two others serious
ly injured in two explosions OF mine
gas in the Johnson No. l mine at
Priceburg late Tuesday.
The first explosion, which occurred
about three o'clock, was caused by the
carelessness of door tender who, by
leaving the door open, allowed gas to
accumulate in the workings. One man
was injured as result OF this. The
second explosion which resulted in
the death of seven men and the injury
of another, occurred about five o'clock
and resulted from the ignition OF the
deadly fire damp which accumulated
after the first explosion.
A runner who was near the foot of
the shaft when the second explosion
occurred gave the alarm and rescue
party hurried to the scene OF the ex-
plosion.
News of the explosion spread rapid
ly through the village of Priceburg.
mining hamlet just north OF Scranton,
and hundreds of wives, children and
other relatives of those who are en-
ployed in the mine hurried to the
breaker. So badly disfgured were
the remains of those who were killed
that identification at the time was i'm
possible and the widest excitement
prevailed Harsh measures had to be
pursued by the mine officials to keep
the crowds back, and hundreds fol-
lowed the ambulances to undertaking
1t was with the great
est difficulty that any authentic news
of the affair could be learned, because
of the excitement that prevailed.
About 1900 men work in the mine,
but as no account was kept of those
who had come out before the explosion
occurred it is impossible to determine,
until the rescuing party returns, if the
present death list is complete.

ROB SAFE AND FIRE TOWN.
Town Of Lovilia Suffers Disastrous
ConfIagration.


Lovilia.-Fire supposed to have
been caused by robbers wiped out
one-fourth of the business section Of
this village at an early morning hour,
causing a loss of $4,000. The in.
surance is small and In number OF
cases there was none.
The flames were first discovered IN
the hardware store Of d. H. Rouse
shortly after / o'clock. They spread
quickly and soon enveloped the Uni.
ted Brethren parsonage, the post
office and other buildings. The safe
in the office of Mr.. Rouse was broken
open and rifled and it Is supposed
that the robbers looted the store be-
fore they fired the structure. Off
GERS will be put on the affair and an
effort made to run down the perpe-
traitors of the outrage.
The parsonage and the postofflce
were both new structures and just
recently completed. The heat was
so intense that it cracked every plate
glass on the opposite side of the
street A quantity of mail was burn
ed, but how much and of what ma
ture is not known, as Postmaster J.
w. Nye has not made thorough ex-
animation as yet.
In one part of the burned hard
ware store was gas plant which
furnishes light and heat for several
business houses and residents of the
city and owing to the fact that the
gas is manufactured from gasoline.
made it quite dangerous for persons
to work around the burning structure.
The fire from the hardware ignited
the re:ldence of W. r. Pierce and
the post office, and from there took
everything in it's path to the U. B.
church, which was saved by heroic
work by men, women, boys and girls
of Lovilia. The building occupied by
T. B. O'Bryan, O'Bryan Bros. and the
U. B. parsonage were also burned to
the ground

TEST FOR LOW FARE LAW.
Missouri Statute viii Have Three
Months Trial.

Kansas City, Mo.-The Missouri
two-cent passenger fare act will go
into effect at six a. m. on Wednes'
day next, and be given three months
trial. If at the end of that time the
rate is found to be unremuneratlVe
the laws enforcement can be fought
in the courts by the railroads.
The state officials are temporarily
enjoined from enforcing the maximum
freight rate law and this case will be
argued later in the federal court.
Judge Smith Mcpherson in the
United States district court here Mon
day afternoon, after handing down an
opinion maintaining the courts juris-
diction in the premises, ordered the
PRONUNCIATION of the above stated facts,
which had been agreed to by the at
torneys for the state and the IL Mis-
souri, railroads involved. The court
in it's decision had suggested that the
two-cent fare should be first given
practical trial before injunction pro-
ceedings preventing its enforcement
be considered.
Herbert S. Hadley, attorney general,
said regarding the two-cent bill:
IF at the end of three months the
railroads want to litigate the reason
ableness of these rates, the matter OF
the jurisdiction of the state and fed
eral courts to determine the question
will be fought out and the state has
lost none of its rights and advantages.
The injunction suits that | have
brought against the railroad compa-
MES on the passenger rates in the
state courts will stand"

Last Dollar Owed by Mt. Vernon Col
Iege is Paid.
Mount Vernon.-Cornell college is
free from debt. What has been owed
has been wiped out entirely. For
some years a troublesome debt has
been growing, which originated with
the purchase of Ash Park for athletic
purposes, and of the Goodelf farm,
which was purchased to enlarge the
campus. The debt has been added
to by current expenses, including the
remodeling of 6 fence hall year ago,
until it had reached the sum of SPA
900. The trustees at their annual
meeting of 1906 resolved that this
debt must be wiped out. Subscrip.
lions began to be received, and now
the last dollar of the debt has been
subscribed. The bells joyfully pro-
claimed the news. A large crowd OF
citizens assembled on the main street,
"a large bontre was lighted. and
speeches were made by DR.. H. G..
Stuntz, President King, Colonel Rood,
Professor Freer, o. A. Cheney and
others. Inc debt raising has created
a wide spread interest. and it is the
general opinion that Cornell college
is entering upon a period of greater
prosperity than 1t has hitherto en-
ioyed. The institution has also added
$4,000 to it's endowment funds dur.
ing the year.
