A SUCCESSFUL AGENT.
Vim. S. Carmine Lead AlfAgents
of Continental Life in January

Mr.. VIM. S. Carmine, ofsthis city,
who several months ago became as
scciated with the Continental Life
Insurance Co., of Wilmington, Del,
succeeded il writing more business
during the month of January than
any other agent of the Company.
Mr.. Carmine, as was recently stated
in this paper, won a handsome
platinum and gold scarf pin, which
the Company had offered as a prize
to the agent first writing his prom
iscG quota of business for the
month, and at the same time re-
ceivcd very complimentary letter
from President Philip Burnett, of
the Company, congratulating him
upon his success.
In addition to winning the handi-
cap prize, Mr.. Carmine also leads
all of the agents in the amount of
business written and paid for during
the month of January, he haying
paid for more than $4,000 more
business than his nearest comDeti-
tor. In addition to this lead, ne
secured and sent in a number OF
additional applications for INSURANCE
which did not come through on his
January quota, the policies not, be-
ing issued in time.
Mr.. Carmine entered the insur-
ance business several years ago,hav-
ing first started while in the employ
of TIE late S. Lehman; conceiving
liking for the business, he sew
cred his connections with Mr.. Leh-
man and accepted the agency for
the Sun Life Assurance Company,
Of Canada, with which he was as
sociated for several years, and was
SO successful in securing business
for them as to attract the attention
Of a number of other companies,
from which he received flattering
offers. Upon leaving the Sun Life,
he went with the United Craftsmen,
and wrote a considerable amount of
the business which that Company
had on its books at the time 1t was
taken over by the Philadelphia Co.,
wit: which it was recently merged.
Immediately after this change in
the affairs of the Craftsmen, Mr..
Carmine became connected with the
Continental Life, and while their
relations have only existed for a
few months, Mr.. Carmine has very
successfully demonstrated the fact
that he is a business getter, and,
what is, perhaps, better still, Is
business holder.
The likeness which is published
in this issue was very kindly leaP

Life Insurance Co., which used 1t
on the front page of it's JANUARY
Bulletin. The only trouble with it
is that it does not do justices to
Mr. Carmine, he being much hand
somer man than this picture shows.

SHARPTOWN TRAGEDY.
Mrs. Augusta Riggin Dies Sudden
~ After Praying to HasAkapd.

The village Of sharptown. VT
comico county, just across the Nanti-
coke river from this county, was
thrown into an uproar yesterday
morning, when it was learned that
Mrs. Augusta Riggin, the wife of
William A. Riggin, had suddenly
died curing the night. A coroner's
jury was summoned and viewed the
remains, but found no indications
of death having been other than
from natural causes. DR.. J. McFad-
den Dick. of Salisbury, and O. JE.
James, ct Sharptown, will perform
an autopsy. after which the jury
will meet again to consider whit
ever. evidence, if any, that may
be laid before them.
Mrs. Riggin and her husband
were total strangers, and were
married as the result of letter
which he wrote her upon learning
that her husband had died and left
her considerable property. She wrote
him that sic would come to Sharp
town arc investigate him, and that
if he was satisfactory, she would
marry him; she came, purchased 5
acres of land, and gave him $500
with which to fix up home, and
then went to Sweden for several
months; she then returned and met
him in Laurel, Del, by appointment,
on Oc;. 2S. and married him.
About six weeks ago Mrs. Riggin
had her husband arrested for kicK-
inc her. and when the case came to
trial before Justice Cooper,the hus-
band stated that the trouble had
been caused by her interfering with
him while ne was doing some WORK.
He was fined $40 and costs.
Mrs. Riggin owned about $4,000
worth of property in Sharptown and
was believed to own a considerable
amount OF stocks and bonds. Her
former husband was Senston Brown,
of Bluefield, N. j., real estate OPP
orator.
Nothing that has happened in re-
cent years has occasioned nearly so
much excitement as the woman's
sudden death. Arthur Mann, a for
mer Justice of the Peace, wrote
her will a few weeks ago, and says
that she told him to read 1t at her
grave, but not before. Many per-
sons labor under the impression tina
she committed suicide, but on &C
count of the apparent lack Of any
evidence, others do not think this,
out think that she died from natur-
al causes.

FLAME CHECKING DOORS.
Novel Device For Stopping Dust Ex'
pIosion Fires In Mines.

Novel Device For Stopping Dust Ex-
plosion Fires In Mines.
Doors that will slam themselves
shut when fire comes along and throw
pans of water over the oncOnin@
flames are the latest devices for stop
ping the terrible dust explosion fires in
coal mines. The real marvel Of the
doors is that they do not wait until
the fire gets to them, but promptly go
into action While there is still time t"
shut off the flames.
The doors, placed at intervals along
the mine passages are ordinarily kept
swung back against the walls. and on
them are balanced several pans filled
with water. A dust explosion in a coal
mine PUSHES rapidly through all the
open passages but the flames are pre-
coded by a sudden draft or air pres
sure. This draft will shut the doors in
time to head of the flames. and as the
doors slam the water from the pans Is
thrown i'm the direction from which
the fire is coming.
The same principle Of utilizing the
precursive air wave is the basis OF
most Of the systems now rapidly being
applied in coal mines to check the dust
explosions.
One method hat has had much atten-
ton of late is to keep all the passages
well sprnkled with stone dust. with
piles Of it stored on shelves along the
passageways. When the air wave
comes along ahead of the fire this
stone dust is stirred up into the air
and acts something like Il blanket In
smothering the coal dust flames. Sat

buying two highly advertised
beans which have been heralded
as great producers of forage for
stock. One is the Asparagus
bean, calling it the Shannon pea;
the other the Jack bean or Giant
Stock Pod bean. The department
says neither of them are superior
to the common cow peas now in
general use-both being of the
same family or variety. Enor-
NOUS prices, as high as SIS per
pound, are being asked for the
seed and farmers should be care
full about buying it.
