Life Insurance

Company,

OF HARTFORD, CONN.,

recognizing the possible continuance and

future effect of the causes producing the

recent great changes in the rate of interest on the beet securities and the necessi­

ty of baaing all life ineurance calcula­

tion! upon a iate certain to be earned during the possible continuance of policies

hereafter to be written, a period of more

that two generations, because of the im­

possibility of changing their basis in the future as to business then existing should

the assumed rate of interest fail to be real

ixed and that in a business dependent on

future contingencies nothing is certainly safe that is not certainly more than appa

rently safe in order to provide absolute

safety in the bwis of its business and to have the largest liberty in the future selee'

tion of investments, will compute the net premiums and reserves upon future poli

cies on the assumption of esrniDg 3 per

cent, interest on the betl long investments instead of 4 per cent,, which is now and

will remain the basis of business now ex

isting. As a further basis it assumes the rate

of mortality shown by the American Ei'

perience Table, the entire safely of which as an assumption fcr the future^ has been

fully proved. Its contracts will thus be more securely based than any now written and so long

as the actual rate of interest remains above

the assumed rate, the large)1 reserves in­

vested will give the larger returns of sur

pins interest. The new premiums charged for poli­

cies, while providing a larger reserve for

future safety, will give the advantage of

the company's unrivalled economy in

management being on annual premium life policies on the average something leas

han those heretofore charged.

Its new policies will contain some most

important

NEW FEATURES.

While most men never get beyond the

need for insurance, nearly all look for­

ward to a time when others will be no onger dependent upon them, and when

they may wish to have all the remaining

surplus from past labors available for

personal use. Hence they take endow­

ment policies for such periods as they think will cover the need of insurance,

and payable to themselves afterwards

to which there ara two essential objec­

tions 1st. That in point of fact they

usually need the insurance after the term

of the policy has expired, but have then become uninsurable, or can only get new

insurance at a much higher fremium

because of advanced age. 2d. That the

premiums for endowments are so much

higher than for life policies that men cannot Msually afford by this means to

carry as much insurance as their families

need. In order to give a method by which one

can carry the largest possible amount to

protect his family just as long as they

may need it and yet make the payments, less the cost of insurance had, available

at once should the need of insurance cease, we offer the following: The Whole Life Policy at the ordinary annual premium, or with a limited number of premiums all mrplus credited upon the policy may be left with the company to accumulate at such rate of interest as may be determined by the Direc tors, to be paid with the policy, at its maturity, to the person entitled thereto-

At the end of each period of 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, etc., years from the issue of such policy, the parties in interest may surrender the same for a cash value as therein agreed, together with the amount of the surplus previously credited and so accumulated.

Or paid-up insurance may then be taken for such s.monnt as the cash value and surplus previously credited will buy as a single premium.

Should the policy lapse at any intervening year of the above periods, and after three premiums have been paid paid-up insurance will ba given, on surrender of the policy according to its terms, for such amount as the reserve, and surplus previously credited, less a small surrender charge, will buy as a single premium.

Each policy will have attached a table of cash values growing out of the reserve and the accumulation of surplus will be stated each year.

The accumulated surplus may be used in case of necessity to pay current premiums.

This gives the greatest amount of insurance the premiums can buy while insurance is needed, and also gives their entire effect as an endowment if insurance becomes unnecessary. The longer the policy runs the greater its value, both as an insurance and an endowment, and the higher reserve required by the assumption of S per cent, interest makes the policy just so much the more valuable as an endowment.

We believe it, as we intend it to be, the safest, most valuable, and most liberal, contract ever written.

The Criminal Court will cease to exist the third Monday (the 20th) of next November. So mote it be.

Alexander H. Stephen? was seriously ill again last week, but is now better. The Washington hackmen looked for his funeral almost weekly for about twenty years, and then gave him up as a hopeless ess?.

The Chinese legation has expressed thanks for the president's first veto. The minister says it is a jnst and reasonable one. He admires the sonnd judgment of the president, which cannot be moved by the ill feeling of politicians.

In allowing post office officials and employes to work for their party nominees Assistant Postmaster General Hatton says he is doing jnBt as he did when he was postmaster, and that it is common sense, even if it doesn't please civil service reformers.

A colored man was lynched in West Virginia the other day for a criminal assault npon a white woman, who is in a critical condition from the effects of it. The brute boasted to his fellow prisoners of what he had done, and confessed it with the rope aroand his neck.

Frank James, brother to the dead outlaw, has gone into the letter-writing business—by proxy. About half the newspaper men in the country are writing letters to themselves from him, some declaring that Jesse iB alive and well, while others admit his death and swear vengeance on his slayers,

Des Moines, Iowa, has the largest distillery in the world. It has a daily capacity of 14,000 bushels, making 56,000 gallons of spirits each day, and requiring six store-keepers to take charge of it. When running to its full capacity it contributes to the United States $50,400 per day. It is a big democratic institution to be found in a county which is largely republican.

The democrats will not filibuster against the passage of the tariff commission bill. There are some who wish to see it defeated who will resort to every parliamentary device to accomplish their purpose, and this may cause serious delay. It is not expected that a vote will be reached for two weeks yet, but when the time^comes it is believed it will pass as reported by a two-thirds vote.

The bill for the reclamation of the Potomac marshes will be taken up in the house to-morrow. It will be opposed by a select few who represent the ring, and who see no money in the work for them when it is performed under the supervision of the army engineers. It will also be opposed by members who fear that its passage will cut down the appropriations of the river and boibor bill.

We copy from the Indianapolis Jour' nal a communication on the subject of Pensions, written by Meisrs. John Paddock and Joseph Kent of this city. These gentlemen are amongst the really deserving pensioners of the government they have suffered the loss of limb in the service of their country they are exerting themselves to support themselves independently of their pensions consequently they have a right to speak plainly on the subject and they do so in a manner that will attract attention.

Of the recent reported sale of the Dorsey ranches by the Washington Star, that paper says

The report that we published to the effect that ex-Senator Dorsey had sold out his cattle and range, was only partially correct, and needs qualifying. He has not sold any of his range, and does not intend to sell. But he has sold an interest in his cattle, all of which money, however, will be put into cattle, and he has contracted in Texas for 10,009 steers. The purchaser ol an interest in his cattle is Mr. J. W. Bosler, of Bosler Brothers, Carlisle, Penn., the cattle kings of 'Wyoming and Nebraska, who visited Colfax county last summer. The Senator has also purchased the interest of Harry Gray, his manager, and we understand that the latter will return to hig old hone in England.

Frederick Drake, the celebrated German sculptor, died yesterday, fie was born at Pyrmont, June 23, 1805, the son of a skilled carver. At twenty-one he entered the studio of Rsuch, of Berlin, and ultimately became professor of sculpture in the academy of fine arts, a member o^ the senate of that academy, and a knight of the Red Eagle. His fame rests chiefly upon the numerous admirable busts, statutes and medallions he has executed, two of these being colossal figures of King Frederick William II., one at Stettin, the other at Berlin. His creative works are: "Madonna and Child." for the empress of Russia "A Dying Soldier, with the Crown cf Glory "The Female Grape-Gatherer "The Eight Provinces cf Russia," a colossal work for the castle of Berliu, 1844 eight groups decorating abridge in the same castle "Warrior, Crowned by Victory."

It is not believed that the senate will refuse to confirm Mr. Chandler as secretary of the navy, all talk to the contrary notwithstanding. The senate never has refused to confirm a cabinet officer, and there- is no reason why it should make the present case an exception to a well established rule. The president alone is responsible to the country for his administration, and he should be allowed the widest latitude in selecting his advisers. If he has reason to believe that Mr, Chandler will make a better naval secretary than any other man he can find, the senate has no right to object, and should confirm him at once. It will be time enough to condemn when he is found guilty of some offense, or fails to discharge the duties of his office in an fficient manner. As the matter now tands the senate has placed iteelf in a ridiculous position, from which it should gracefully retire at the earliest possible moment.

EASTEB.

The "Queen of Festivals," which to-day ia being observed all over the world with triumphant psalms, divides with Christmas a cherished place in the Christian heart. The brightness and hope of the day, following the penitential and mournful services of the Lenten season, are as fragrant and full of color as the face of nature springing into life and beauty under the vernal eqninox after the cold and barren winter.

The Easter song? find the same responses from millions as do the Bweet sounds, scenes and breathing odors of the early spring. Life is come out of death, and hope again springs triumphant.

The archaeologist, delighting in tracing all existing institutions from the most natural causes, finds the origin of Easter in heathen riteB and proves it by the Saxon origin of the term. It is related that the instructions from Rome to the early bishops of ancient Britain were to substitute for the rites and festivals dear to the Saxons, similar ceremonials in christian guise. How far this may account for any existing forms cannot be determined, but it is quite certain that Easter wa^celebrated in the first century by the entire church, though on different days, until the council of Nice determined the season now observed, which corresponds nearly to the Passover, and occurs on the first Sunday after the full moon which happens upon or next after March 21st, the vernal equinox.

As usual with all ancient holidays, it is interesting to note the changes in the cuetoms and maxners of men as shown by methods of observance during the succeeding centuries, and to mark the decline from primitive and sincere zeal to gross and material formalisms and rites, to pgain rise to a more pure, spiritual life. The first Christians saluted each other with Christ is risen at a later day waB added, "and the Jews must go to prison." The Passion and Resnrrection plays were given where churches were theatres and the priests and monks were actors. In former days, in Ireland, people arose at four o'clock to see the sun dance various superstitious customs and games arose, nearly all to disappear save the making and giving the Pitsch eggs. Though Easter Is observed only in the Episcopal and Catholic churches as a distinguished festival, its notice in some form is beceming more common with other sects but it is in Rome that the day is celebrated with greater magnificence, when the Pope wearing (he triple crown is borne to St. Peter's in the midst of a mighty concourse. The great cathedral is illuminated at night by thousands of lamps, when every column, cornice, statue, and each detail is revealed in a clear, soft light, and "the immense dome rising over all like a mountain of molten silver in the deep darkness around," enchants the gazer from the Pincian Hill. He sees before him, in the vast cathedral, the most perfect material type human art has yet produced of the temple 'not made with hands.' Enduring beyond long lines of fallible and erring pontiffs and rulers, surviving the glory of the Eternal City, are the ideas marking the beginning of the Christian era and built into St, Peter's. Solid as are the material forms of the world's prosperity, expressed in fleets, heaps of sculptured stone and iron, and all the traces of man's industry on the earth's surface, still more solid and enduring are the hopes and promises of the Easter morning, that from every grave in which may lie a savior, a reformer, a champion of the rights of man or a believer in his higher destiny, will rise the ideas, the noble purposes to be fulfilled some day in an ideal world and perfected manhood, free, honest and pute. "The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces, The solemn temples, the great globe Itself, shall dissolve" and though "We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep" this Easter morn proclaims that beyond the alternating life and death, the ever recurring success and failure, there is never ending life and the end of human failures.

Congressman Belford, of Colorado, doesn't seem to have very much sympathy for Mr. Lo, the poor Indian. He has some exceedingly vigorous western ideas on the subject, which he expresses in forcible language. That he differs materially from eastern philanthropists will be seen from the manner in which he looks upon the question, as follows

The trouble is that whenever an Indian matter comes up the members of the Hdtise lose their heads. They overlook die fact that we have in this country 250,000 Indians, who occupy 236,000 square miles of territory, an area equal to England and Ireland, equal to the Republic of France, almost as large as the German Empire, and of this vast domain the Indians have not cultivated over 500,000 wires. We allow whito men to take 160 acres of land on couditions that lead to their cultivation sooner or later, but when we deal with Indians we make no such conditions, but give him a square mile where we give the white man an acre. In my judgment this country was made for the men who are willing to cultivate it and make its products contribute to the welfare of man. kind. The white man can so utilize one acre as to promote the happiness and cemfort of a hundred people. The Indian requires from 600 to 1,G00 acres, over which he may roam in Eearch of game.

The problem we are required to solve is, shall this land be devoted to the comfort and maintenance of the men who aie willing to cultivate it, or devoted to a set of savages who will neither adopt our methods nor accept our clvili. zation. Looking at all the phases of this question, there are but two things for the Indians to do, work or starve. No man has aright to the soli who is not willing to cultivate it. We appropriate now (5,000,000 to smpport able bodied Indian paupers. If Congress were asked to ap. propriate that amount to support the same number of white men, there would be a howl. What is the difference between the Indian and the white man? That is the only question I have to propound at present.

Even as strongly a partisan paper as the Gazette cannot refrain from showing up some of the shameful performances of that political machine known as the Criminal Court. That it is, a political machine, and an odions democratic machine, is generally conceded. A perusal of the list of favored attorneys and attaches proves the truth of this statement. It is one of the instrumentalities that has served to strengthen the democratic party in this coonty, and to give a preponderance to its worst elements. One of the hopeful signs of the times is the certainty of its early demise, over which there will be general rejoicing and a loud amen.

THE CBIMINAL COCRT.

The comments that this paper has made about the recent high handed performances of certain attorneys in the Criminal Court, in the Bill Hicks case, has had the effect to greatly excite and enrage certain parti&, while car course is endorsed by the right-thinking portion of the community. One or more of the perturbed parties have quit taking the Express (wLich they have a perfect right to do), and threats have been made that prosecutions will be commenced against the paper and eome of-its friends for imaginary offenses. All this is exceedingly foolish and fruitless of favorable results.

That which has been said about the Criminal Court and some of the attorneys practicing therein is a mere scratching of the entiele compared to what might be said. There haB long been an undercurrent of talk which indicated a disgraceful condition of affairs. The friends of that court may not be aware of the state of public opinion on the subject if they were, they would not excite the public mind in the premises. When we Baid several days ago, referring to the Foster-Hicks case, that "it is only one of a number of performances which make the abolishment of the court a matter of rtjoicing"—we spoke by the card. If the hangers-on and the favored lawyers of that court wish to call out an expression of opinion on this subject, we are willing to accommodate them. If they know what is to their interest they will remain quiet until the gale blows over. A storm may come that will require all their strength and endurance to withstand. Tbey cannot afford, as strong as they imagine themselves to be, to have the ghasily secrets of that tribunal uncovered to the public g»ze. Oblivion is really mercy to some of the men who are prominent in that court.

THE EOSE POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE. The president of this institution is now in the city in consultation with the trustees. He is an eastern man, eminent in educational and scientific circles. It is the intention to commence a preliminary six months' term in May, 1883, and in September to commence the. regular four years' term. A portion of the faculty have been selected from amongst the best talent that could be found. The workshops and laboratory will be furnished with everything required to make them complete. The president will proceed at oace to make arrangements for carrying out the policy of the board relative to the opening of the institution at the time named, and in a manner second to no other similar institution.

Congressman Thomas Allen, of Missouri, died in Washington yesterday after a long and severe illness. He waB born at Pittsfield, Mass. educated at Union college studied law and was admitted to the bar in New York city in 1837 he established "The Madisonian" in Washington, and was elected successively printer to the house of representatives and to the senate. In 1842 he went to St. Louis and married, and was a member of the state senate from 1850 to 1851. For nearly thirty years past he has been engaged in the railway business, projecting and building over one. thousand miles of road. He took the first locomotive across the Mississippi in 1852. When elected to the forty-seventh congress over M. Rosenblatt, republican, he was president and largely owner of the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern railroad, but since then he sold his railway interests, holding only large tracts of real estate. He has been connected with various public and private works and institution? in 1874 he built and presented a public library to the town of PittBfieid, and in the same year was made an L. L. D. by his alma mater. He left an estate valued at several millions.

Haves' humbug civil service' order No. 1, prohibiting postmasters and other federal officials from exercising the rights of citizenship, and in fact emasculatirg them so far as the exercise of political functions was concurred—has baen abrogated by this administration. This is much to the credit of its common sense and republicanism.

Investigating Corners. NEW YORK, April 8.—The State Senate committee to investigate corners and dealings in futures met to-day. Chauncev M. DePew testified that corners were formed in the West, principally in Chicago. He considered them very injurious to consumers, as New York was obliged to get her supply from the _Weft. The railroads were also, be said, injuriously affected by cornering.

President H. J. Jewett, of the Erie Railroad, looked on cornering as very demoralizing, and a species of gambling. The railroads, he said, suffered greatly by the praetice, which he thought could be stopped by legislation iu Illinois, but not in New York State. He knew no remedy except in legislation, and regarded the whole system as demoralizing to commerce and the public interest.

Labor Troubles.

FORT PLAIN, N. Y., April 8.—About 400 Italians who have been at work here on the West Shore railroad not getting their pay to day, as expected, congregated around the Zaller House, fchere the contractor is stopping, and commenced Abning and firing into the house. The Grand Army post was called out and dispersed the rioters, but not before they had done considerable damage. None of the inmates of the hotel were seriously injured, though some of the Italians were wounded by pistol Bhots fired by the inmates. Trouble is feared to-night, as the Italians threatened to burn the town. Help from neighboring towns has been asked for, and when it arrives will be enough to protect the village.

Those Bender Developments. ST. LOUIS, April 8 —A special to the Post-Dispatch from Fort Scott, Kas. says: Jacob Balies, under arrest in St. Louis charged with being old man Bender, the "Kansas fiend," is well known in that county. He has liyed about Uniontown for many years. Balies will now probably be released by the Chief of Police here.

ST. LO®J3, April 8.—Jacob Balies was released by the police at noon to-day.

Bome heathen are not as much of the heathen as we think.

WASHINGTON.

CoBtinnatlon of Shlhperd the Childlike and Bland—Capital Mews Notes.

SOAP STICK JAKE.

WASHINGTON, April 8.—The testimony of Shipherd before the House Foreign Affairs Committee te-day was to the effect that he was led to believe all along that the 8tate Department 'was working cordially with him in behalf of hia claim. He repeated all his conversations with Secretary Blaine, going to show, as he claimed, that Blaine was in sympathy with him. He repeated the statements of Senator Blair, his counsel, to him, to the effect that the State Department was all right. He eaid Blair assured him that he could stake his life that the State Department was all right, and that Lie supposed Blaine and Huilb .i were actively co-operating with him but some time ago he began to suspect that they were playing him false. Shipherd produced no documentary evidence of the alleged talk with Blaine, and it all rests on his interpretations of what Blaine said.

The witness complained, in short, that Blaine talked one way and acted another, instancing, for example, the case of the dispatch, which Blaine said he would send immediately to Hurlbut, but which the latter wrote Shipherd he had never received, with reference to notifying the Chilian Government that there was an American claim to the guano beds. Shipherd also detailed a conversation he had with Blaine, in which he [Shipperd] intimated that Hurlbut wss in the employ of the Credit Industrial, giving as proof the allegation that Hurlbut was living at the expense of the said Credit Iodustrial in Lima, occupying a house handsemely furnished and with a well stocked wine cellar, at the expense of that company. Blaine, so Shipherd said, wrote a telegram immediately, which he showed Shipherd, in which he said to Hurlbut that the "report reaches the Department that your conduct is such as to raise the suspicion that you have improper relations with the Credit Industrial. You must stop it." Witness, however, said that the dispatch which Blaine did send on the subject was very different from that given above, as shown by the correspondence furnished from the State Department.

The witness declared that Blaine was impatient in manner and speech when these matters were mentioned, and was incredulous when told of Hurlbut's alleged friendship for the Credit Industrial.

In the course of the various interviews the witness had with Blaine, he [Blaine] seemed to be interested in the euccess of the Peruvian Company's claim, and suggested a number of plans to assist it. He told Shipherd at one interview that all he [Shipherd] wanted was to be patient, and that the Chilian Minister was more afraid of the Peruvian Company than anything else that stood in the way of Chili's intentions in regard to Peru.

Recurring to the dispatch tljat Blaine had sent to Hurlbut relative to his supposed connection with the Credit Industrial, Shipherd said that subsequently, on meeting Blaine, he [Blaine], said: "I have received a reply from Hurlbut, and there is nothing in your charges whatever. I knew there was nothing in it so don't say anything more to me on that subject."

Rice then asked witness if be had any further facts to offer to show that Hurlbut ever had any connection with the Credit Industrial, and received the reply, "I have not."

Rice—Have you any facts to offer to lead to the slightest suspicion that Blaine ever had sny connection with or interest in the Credit Industrial?

Answer—None whatever. Rice—Have you anything to show that Blaine ever had the slightest interest in the Peruvian Company?

Answer—I have never charged him with any connection or interest in either. Rice—Then what grounds have you for supposing the Secretary was favorable to your company?

Answer—The manner in which he had treated the subject, and particularly the asurance of Senator Blair. He [Blair] frequently told me [Shipherd], "You can quote the Secretary freely. Quote him a great deal stronger than you have done. You can't quote him too strong. Don't expect him to commit himself in writing, but be sure of this that the State Department is thoroughly with us iu this matter."

After further questions, which elicited nothiog of particular interest other than that the Secretary in disctllsing the Peruvian question evinced a desire to have the troubles between Chili and Peru settled as favorably as possible to Peru, the committee adjourned.

SERGEANT MASON.

WAsniNQTON, April 8.—An evening paper says it is understood that the Secretary of War has recommended the mitigation of Sergeant Mason's sentence to four or five months' imprisonment in the regular guard house, to forfeit all pay due or which may become due bim, and to be dishonorably dismissed the service.

The 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th, IStb, 19th, 24th, 25tb, 2fkh, 27th, 28th and 2#th exceptions relate to the admission of the hypothetical questions of the Goverment and replies thereto. Exceptions 20, 21 and 22 object to the admiesion of the answers of variouf medical experts concerning the prisoner's mental condition. The twenty-third, to allowing the statement of Dr. McDonald to go to the jury that the newspapers commenced to notice the fact that the interruptions by the prisoner were only when the evidence was against him.

1

being offered, to allow the defendant toexamine but one witness [James Breoks] named in the affidavit ef Mr?, Scoville. Thirty-second, on the refusal of the Court to allow Dr. George E.

The remains of Representative Allen will be removed to Pittsfield, Mass.

Supposed Bond Bobbers Arrested. NEW YORK, April 8.—Two men attempted this afternoon to sell at a broker's office city bonds of the city of St. Joseph, Mo., to the amount of $100,000, for eighty cents on the dollar. The bonds are only negotiable for other bonds. The transaction excited suspici6E, and the men were handed over to the police and taken to headquarters, where they gave the names of James Irving and Joseph Fisk. The bonds were examined by the financial agent of the city of St. Joseph and found genuine. They are supposed to have been stolen. Fisk gave his residence as at the Astor House, and Irving said he was stopping at the Sturtevant House. The bonds are 100 4 per cent, bonds of the denomination of $1,000 each. The prisoners were arraigned at the Tomb's Police Court, when Mr. Donald, agent fcr the bonds in this city, appeared to prosecute them. It is thought that the investigation will lead to important disclosures, involving other parties in St. Joseph. The accused were remanded for further evidence.

ST. JOSEPH, MO., April 8.—News from New York has been received stating that two men were arrested there, having in their possession $100,000 of St. Joseph 4 per cent, bonds, which they were trying to negotiate, and the Finance Committee of the City Council has been investigating the matter this afternoon and is still in session to-night. They have found that some of the new bonds to the amount stated have been abstracted from the Register's office, and no satisfactory explanation can be made as to how tbey were obtained. The fact is not generally known in the city to-night, for the members of the Council have endeavored to keep the matter quiet, pending the investigation in progress. Your correspondent cannot give the names of the parties implicated in New York, but it is said that they are two men who have roomed during the winter in a building on Edmunds tieet, in this city.

Hore Train Robbery. LITTLE ROCK, April 8.—A Dallas special says that the north bound train on the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe road was robbed a few miles south of Claiburne at 10 o'clock on Friday night, at a water station called Blum. Six men, wearing masks and roughly dressed, entered the passenger coachee two took a position and guarded the doors at either end, the other two going through the cars with cocked pistols, one carrying a pillow-slip and ordering a missionary fund. All the passengers did as ordered. When they were about through with the passengers, the conductor entered the car, and seeing what was up rushed for the express car. One of the robbers fired at him but he escaped unhurt, the ball passing through the express car. All the robbers then jumped off and'disappeared. The amount secured ia not known, but several parties gave up large sums. One of the passengers says the robbers got about $1,300, others say not over $400 or $500. The probability is that those who were robbed do not like to make known their losses. The officers were notified at Fort Worth, and a posse with bloodhounds waa put in pursuit. No arrest is reported yet. It ia thought that this is the gang who attempted to wreck the north bound night train three weeks ago by removing a rail. The authorities suspect certain parties, green hands at the business, and will endeavor to secure their arrest. They used old cap and ball navy revolvers.

TOPEKA, Kas., April 8.—The Commonwealth has just received particulars of the destruction caused by the' cyclone at Stafford on Thursday night. Stafford is a village of 750 or 800 houses, the county seat of Stafford county, about 200 miles southwest of Topeka and off the line of any railroad. All but two houses were blown down, a Mr. Crook killed and several persons more or less injured. A aounty seat election Ltd just closed, and the wind scattered the ballots all over the prairie before they were counted.

FURTHER ACCOUNTS.

DETROIT, April 8.—Further accounts of the cyclone of Thursday show that it visited Barry, Williams, Beaver, Kawkawlin, Augres and Eaton counties, Michigan, with the same results as heretofore reported. The damages are estimated at $75,000, besides the loeS of life. News from Abiline, Manhattan and other places in Kansas is of the same tenor, and details numerons casualties, with a large destruction of property.

The Indianapelis Bank Trouble. INDIANAPOLIS, April 8.—Since the disappearance of Arthur Mueller, teller of the Central Bank of this city, experts have been engaged in examining tbe books, and have found a deficit of about $30,000, and the directors, at} a meeting at a late hour last night, decided to suspend until the affairs of the bank are straightened out. This, it is expected, will take about a year, aa the assets, although sufficient to cover all liabilities, are such ss to require careful handling in order to get value out of them. The capital stock of the bank is $100,000, and the deposits about $105,000, while the amount of cash on hand would soon disappear in case of a run on the bank. On the whole, it is probable that the institution will not survive the shock received by the defalcation.

Failed.

LITTLE ROCK, April 8.—A Fort Smith speeial to tbe Gizette says M. F. Kennedy & Co., general merchants, Greenwood, Sebastian county, assigned to-ciay. Liabilities, about $4,500 nominal assets, $3,500.

A Nonsensical Rnmor. ST. LOUIS, April 8.—Reports which were circulated here and abroad this morning that Governor Crittenden had been assassinated by Frank James, or some other member of the James gang, are entirely without foundation. A telegram from Secretary of State McGrath to tbe Associated Press correspondent, in reply to an inquiry, says: "The report is nonsensical. The Governor is well, and Sheriff Timberlake and Commissioner Craig are now here after the reward." One of the railroad companies concerned has already sent to the Governor it" share of tbe reward for Jesse James.

Crop Reports.

CHICAGO, April 8.—St Paul specials are full of crop news. One correspondent, who has been revising the reports, says that out of 100 received, about the only favorable ones come from Northwestern Dakota. Interviews with leading grain men of Minnesota, however, thow a gen. eral belief that the wheat crop next year will be of pretty nearly the same acreage ss in 1881, provided the weather for tbe next two or three weeks is favorable for seeding. As to other grains, preparation has undoubtedly been made for a much heavier sowing than last year.

Bond Election at Louisville. LOUISVILLE, Ky., April 8.—The General Council of Louisville having passed an ordinance to take the sense of the voters of the city upon the policy of issuing $1,000,000 in city 5 per cent, forty year bonds, to be given to the Commonwealth on condition that the seat of gov* ernment of the State is permanently located here, an election was held to-day.
