The storm of rain and sleet yesterday afternoon and evening did considerable damage and caused much inconvenlenco. It stopped street car traffic, broke wiros, burned out olectric switches and destroyed temporarily the fire alarm sorvico. _____________

Jamos Grace was stricken with paralysis for the third time last Sunday morning, and is not expected to recover. He is 50 years old, and has been in the Vandalia shops :17 years. He served one term in the council about ten years ago, and has always been an Industrious and honorablo citizen.

John MoMahon, omployed on the streets, foil while at work at Thirteenth and Main streets last Tuosday morning, and wlion ills companions reached him ho was dead. He wa* subject to epilepsy and foil in a fit, striking his head on the curbing in such a manner that this neck was broken. Ho was 40 years old and loaves a wife.

A man namod Albert Thomas, an employe of the hub and spoke factory, while working at tho buz/, a«" Wednesday afternoon, was struck on the head by a piece of wood which fractured his skull. He was romoved to the hospital where ho died soon after. Ho was 25 years old, unmarrlod, and has worked it tho factory several months.

An ex-employe of the street rali\v company has brought suit against'thai corporation

$5,000 damages. His

name Is Frank McKonzie. and he claims that while In tho company's employ last year one of its olectric wire poles fell on him in such away that ho becarno ontangled the wire, recolylng a shock which paralyzed ono arm, the use of which ho has never recovered.

This Is tho era of damage suits in which corporations fitfuro conspicuously as defendants. Ono of tho latest is that of Eleanor Denny, of Atherton, who wants the 0. iV B. I. railroad company to pay her $10,000, and asks Judge Taylor to arbitrate. She got on tho defendant's train at her home ono bright October day, but b&fore sho could seat herself tho cars startod suddenly, throwing her down, wherefore the suit.

Tho street car company has petitioned the county commlsiouers for the right to extend its lino on south Seventh street half a mile beyond the city limits, and tho orayor will in all probability be granted. This will open up some moro desirable property for building purposes. In the spring tho company will also extend its Main Hue eastward to the foot of Butternut hill, and thenc© north to Highland Lawn cemetery.

Thansgivltig was passed iu a very quiet mauner iu this city. Uulon services wore held in the Christian church, at which Ue\\ Isaac Dale,of Abbury church, delivered tho sermon, the church being crowded. The day was pretty generally observed, nearly all business being suspended. The Wabash cycling club had an interesting coasting contest At Blake's hill, east of the city, iu the forenoon and in the evening there were numerous parties and social gatherings.

Charles Plum was arrested In Indian» apolis this week on a charge of robbing the Terre Haute Shoe company'ssafe of $47S and a collection of rare coins on the ISth instant. The coins were found in his room and most of the money has been recovered. Plum I# only 19 years old, but Is an old offender. When only IS years old he was sent to the reform school for burglarising Austin's hardware store. After serving five ye*i* he returned home and in a few week* he robhtNi pt xley A Co.'* wife of several hundred dollars, for wtleh be was returned to P!ainfield. He was out on ticket of leave only a si *.rt time when he went through tho s-.'ioe company's 4*a fe. For last otVense he will probably tw re mo veil frvnn temptation for nianv year* to come.

The board of health has closed District No. 3 school building, corner of Third and Farrington streets, and the basement rooms in District No. 6, corner of Twelfth and Ohio streets, for two weeks. These are the localities in which diphtheria has assumed the most'alarming proportions. With the closing of the schools the health board should also have seen to it that In fumilies where the disease prevails quarantine rules are strictly enforced. Without that it is worse than useless to close the schools. In this connection it is but justice to state that the school board, Superintendent Wiley aud the teachers under him have bceu doing all in their power to prevent the spread of the disease. It is to bo regretted that the schools named had to be closed while the examinations for the World's Fair exhibit were in progress, or about to commence, but public safety demanded it and the health otlicers will be sustained in their action.

Blinn Camp Ladies' Aid society No. 20 was organized with twenty-one charter members last Mondaj' night in G. A. R. hall. It is an auxiliary of the Sons of Veterans.

On May 22, 1887. the late.Miss M.Louise Comstoctc, proprietress of th'e famous-corn-stock tchool in New York City, applied to The Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York for an insurance upon her life, and a policy for 85,000, life, ten-payment plan, was issued in her favor. Miss Comstock paid the premiums each year intfull, excepting the years of 1S74 and 1875, when the dividends were allowed to accumulate. In 1877 the

Sends

ol Icy became paid up at that time the divldeclared on the policy amounted to $1,844.5?, or about 75 per cent, of the total premium paid. Since then to the time of death there nave been declartd additional dividends amounting to 81,049.00, making t^e total dividends declared 82,893.53* as against total premiums of $2,475, or an excess of dividends over all premiums of $418.53.

According to the proof of death the Insured died on February 16, 1889. Yet no one of her relatives was aware ot the fact of her having an insurance In fhe Mutual Life.

The policy lay snugly away among the papers of the insured for nearly four years, until In overhauling her private papers recently her relatives brought to light this valuable document, covered, as it were, with the dust of ages. Could it be a dream or was it a reality? After carefully brushing away tha thick coat of dust, to their great surprise was revealed a policy on the life of Miss M. Louise Comstock, in Tho Mutual Life Insurance

further surprised to find that not only was the claim valid but that the policy had greatly Increased In value by dividends.

The following is a complete history of the policy at the time of death: Policy No. 63,478. Issued May 22, 1867. 35,000- Life 10-payment plan
