MUST PAY LOSSES.
Companies Not Saved by the Earth
quake Clause.

San Francisco, Jan. 25.-The earth
quake clause, upon which many in
surance companies based their re-
fusal to pay the full amount of the
policies on losses arising from the re-
cent disaster in this city, was con-
sidered not sufficient by the jury
which heard the evidence in the case
of Thomas Bergin against the Com
mercial Union Assurance company of
London A verdict was rendered in
the circuit court in favor of the plain
tiff for $6,77S.
Judge Whitson, in his charge to
the jury, gave a rather strong en-
dorsement to the exemption feature
of the earthquake clause, directing
the jury that if it found that the fire
originated from the earthquake, even
remotely, the judgment should be for
the defendant company, but the judge
specified that in determining the orr
gin of the fire the jury would have to
ascertain the exact and particular
origin of the fire which caused the
loss of Bergin's property and then de-
termine if its origin was from the
earthquake. The case was regarded
rs the test of the earthquake clause,
and of the right of the companies to
exemption.

dence in this city.
General Alger was secretary Of war

est and most devoted to the interests
of the army and especially consider
ate of the welfare OF the enlisted men
He was a gentle and kindly man with
great confidence in his friends and as
sociates and was much beloved by
his subordinates. He was the sub
iect OF unjust criticism because of the
eountry's lack Of preparedness for the
war when war came, although for this
he was in no wise responsible. His
record as a soldier in the civil war
was long, useful and highly honor
able.
"As d mark Of respect 20 his mem
orY it is ordered that the flags at all
.aSsfsary posts be displayed at h 'lf

Although entitled by the army regu-
latiops to a funeral escort of one resi-

for years from chronic valvular dis
ease of the heart
Senator Alger was in the senate
chamber Tuesday afternoon where
he stayed throughout most of the en-
tire session listening to the discus
sion of the Brownsville affair. About
4 o'clock he retired to the cloak
room where he sat with Col Rams
dell, sergeant-at-arms of the senate,
and Senator Warner of Missouri,
telling war stories.
Worked Way Through College.
Russell Alexander Alger was born
in Medina county, Ohio, February q,
1856. He was left an orphan at II
worked ON a farm, earning money
with which to attend school during
the winters After he had completed
his education he taught school for
two years and was admitted to the
bar in 1859 He practiced law in
Cleveland for a short time and then
moved to Michigan, where he began
numbering in a small way. In Sep
TENDER, 1861, he enlisted in the Sec
ond Michigan regiment and went to
the front.
He rose from the rank of captain
to that of major general of volun-
teers. His gallant service on a par
ticular occasion at Bonneville, KY, is
described by General Sheridan in his
Personal Memoirs. 1t was, as Gener-
al Sheridan says, ''the quick and des-
perate work that is usually imposed
on a forlorn hope and materially as
sisted in making a success of one of
the most brilliant actions Of the war,
where Sheridan, by taking desperate
chances, triumpheu over a force es-
timated at 5000 men, Sheridan's force
being only 917.
