A bill has been introduced in the
legislature by Mr. Williams, ot Bed
ford, providing for the payment of fire
insurance losses. The measure re
cites that whenever any policy of in
surance shall be issued to insure build
ings against loss or damage by fire,
tornado or storm the actual cash value
shall be agreed upon between the h
surer and insured. All policies must
have written in thern the amount of
insurance and in case of damage the
amount stated must be paid in case of
a total loss. In case of a partial loss
the measure of damage shall be the
cost of repairing the building. In no
case shall the insurer be required to
pay more than the amount expressed
in the policy.
Eoad Bill Probably Killed-
At T uesdayVsession of the legisla
ture the Hamilton road bill was taken
up at the opening of the afternoon
session for third reading and final
passage and a heated discussion fol
lowed. Mr. Moore, of Susquehanna,
moved to "go into committee of the
whole for special amendment. The
motion carried and he offered an
amendment that the act should not
go into effect until $1,000,000 have
been appropriated by the state to be
distributed in proportion to the num
ber of miles of public roads in each
township i that no township shall re
ceive more state money than it raises
by local taxation, and that the money
so appropriated shall be expended in
making and maintaining public roads.
After a long and heated discussion
the report of the committee was adopt
ed and the bill went through third
reading as amended and was laid
aside for printing and final passage.
The friends of the measure admit that
the amendment kills it.

ful for any person or persons, firm or

prosecuting patent claims to offer or

or clients any gift, prize, or chance to
win one, medal of honor, certificate of
stock, or any other article or thing of
real or supposed value, intrinsic or
otherwise ; and any person or persons

EX-BANKER ROCKAFELLOW GUILTY.
But the Jury Recommends Mercy lor the
Former Financier.
" Guilty, with a recommendation
to mercy," was the sealed verdict re
turned Monday morning at Wilkes
Barre by tne jury which had been out
42 hours considering the embezzle
ment case of former Banker F. V.
Rockafellow. The defendant and his
friends are greatly surprised. They
expected either acquittal or a disa
greement. Rockafellow's defense under the
charge that, in 1893, he received
numerous deposits, knowing himself
to le insolvent, was that he supposed
the estate of his partner, E. P. Dar
ling, was sufficient to settle all claims
agairst the bank.
