aajumjmM P THE DEATE PENALTY Will" be Asked by the Commonwealth in the Case of Joe Dimmy, TKIED FOE MUBDEEING MILLER. The Story of the Widow and of the Exciting Arrest of Dimmy. OTHEE COUET SUITS AXD K0N-SUIT8 In opening the case of Joseph Dimmy, charged with the murder of Special Officer Miller, last September, District Attorney Porter told the story ot the crime, and stated that he would ask for a verdict of murder in the first degree. The accused was represent ed by Thomas 1L Marshall, Sr., and Thomas M. Marshall, Jr., and "William Reardon and John S Kobb were called in to assist the Commonwealth. A sad-faced woman, attired in deep mourn ing, was the first witness, and perfect silence fell upon the crowd as the widow of the murdered man told her story. She said her husband had been employed as private watchman by the residents of the streets about Western avenue, Allegheny. On the fatal night of September 3 be left home early. She was ill at the time, and heard noth ing of the affair until her husband was brought home dead the next day. Joseph Speer said he was on a Western ave nue car at about 1:20 in the morning, and heard a shot jnst after they crossed tho railroad bridge. Ho saw a man running through the park and ran after him. The man had a re volver in his hand which he pointed at Speer and cursed him, and said: "I'll let you have one, too." They grappled and Speer threw him down, and Officer Fitzgerald helped him to arrest the man. They found Miller lying on the pavement. Dr. Stewart Patterson testified that Miller was taken to the hospital in a dying condition. There was no evidence of disease, and death was caused by the pistol shot wound. William Bown, the jrunsniitb, said the bullet was a 32 caliber and the revolver an American bulldog double action. Officer Patrick Fitzgerald, of the Pittsburg force, was next called, and said he was in Al legheny that night looking for a man at the Union Rink. A boy who was with him sud denly said: "I think there's a fuss." Then a shot was heard and a man jumped into the park and Fitzgerald followed. The man turned and flrcd twice and the officer fired twice at him. The man jumped out on Western avenue, where Officer Speer caught him. Thistesti monv was corroborated by the boy, who also testified the prisoner said to Fitzgerald: "Is that jon, Paddy? I thought vou were the man I first shot at." Joseph Diebold said he helped undress Miller at the hospital and took the revolver from his pocket. All the chambers were f uIL Court then adjourned until 9 o'clock this morning.

Mary Robton'a Sad Story She Was Shipped to Canada by a Lying Steamship Line and Government, and Drifted Hither. A strange case of the desertion of a young girl, and her subsequent privations, was disenssed in Pittsburg yesterday, which is another illustration of the wrongful policy of the English Government in regard to the pauper emigration question. It seems that about three years ago an orphaned girl, living in Newcastle-on-Tvne, was per suaded by an agent of the Allan Steamship Line, who was at the same time an agent of the English Government, to leave her comfortable home, and emigrate to Canada. It was represented to the girl, whose name is Mary Robson, that she would find a good situation immediately on arriving, and that the English Government would pay her Eassage. The deluded girl went, and, aving arrived in Quebec, was taken in charge by a branch of the "W. C. T. TJ. For three days they gave her shelter, and then left her to shift for herself. Not being inured to the Canadian climate, she passed most of her time in the hospital, working whenever she was able. Some time ago, by mere chance, she heard of an aunt of hers, said to reside in Pittsburg. She conse quently came hither to apply for help. The aunt's 'ame is Mrs. Isabella Bobson; but the girl has not found her as yet, and de sires to go back to England as soon as possible. She is at present staying with Mr. Emil Dorner, of No. 1149 Liberty street, who has kindly given her shelter temporarily. The girl says that the English Govern ment ships hundreds of persons to America yearly in a similar manner, in orderto get rid of them, as they consist, for the most part, of paupers and criminals who would be anexpense to the authorities. Another sad case of poverty was discovered yesterday. Two years ago William Burns came from England and drifted to Pitts burg. For a while he got along nicely, until rheumatism laid him low on a hospital cot. Recovering, he .sent for his wile and two children, who only arrived to find him sick again. Since then, for a month, the family has been dependent upon the charity of the neighbors and the Poor Society. From New York Trlbune.1 MB. EDISON AND HIS PHONOGRAPH. Mr. LIpplncott'a Contracts Corer the Funda mental as Well as tho Recent Patents. To the Editor of the Tribune: Sib My attention having been called to an article in your paper of this date on the subject of the decision of the United States Supreme Court, rendered yesterday, relative to the duration of certain patents, and the possible effect thereof on the companies now engaged in the promotion of the phono graph, by reason of such companies not having acquired rights under certain of my inventions, I take this opportunity to set the matter straight by saying that all my phono graph patents, including not only those of recent date, but also the fundamental pat ents which are affected by this decision of the Supreme Court, are covered by the con tracts of sale and purchase existing between Mr. Iiippjncott, myself and the other parties in interest. Mr. Lippincott provided in advance against this very contingency which has now happened by including in his contract of purchase not only my more recent patents and future inventions, but also my earlier and fundamental patents. Thomas a. Edison. Oeange, N". J., January 22, 1889. An Honorable and Generous Action. The above are the words used by the. Mutual Life Insurance Company of New" York, in announcing to the public its ex ceptional treatment of the case of Mr. Charles K. Pelgram, of Pater6on, N. J. The facts in the case, briefly stated, are as follows: Mr. Pelgram took out a $15,000 policy in the Mutual Life Insurance Com pany, on the 14th of September, 1874. He paid his annual premium of $340 50 promptly for thirteen years. When the fourteenth premium fell due, Mr. Pelgram was on his death bed, and the policy lapsed by the non payment of that premium. Al though the policy had a large value, the insurance was forfeited, and, under the rules of the company, could not be revived with out a certificate of good health, which it was impossible to furnish. The attorney of the family represented to the company the hardship of the case, and the company, by special action of its directors, suspended its rules and restored the policy. The attor ney, in presenting the case, said among other things: "Mr. Peleram has paid to you a sum which, with simple interest, amounts to over $6,000. He did this to insure his wife to the extent of $15,000, against loss from his dying. His dying, with the failure to receive the usual notice, has prevented the prompt payment of the last pre mium. Is it possible that the very event against which Mr. Pelgram made such careful and ex pensive provision, is Itself to defeat that pro vision? Must wives leave the dying beds of their husbands to look for insurance policies? "I respectfully submit that life insurance is far less valuable than the public generally are led to believe, if forfeitures can be established in such cases as these. "When women or infants are the benefi ciaries, a policy-holder would be obliged to se lect very carefully his time in the year for dying, and carefully avoid having too long a last illness, or else his policy would be worth less." No one "will dispute the claim put forth by the Mutual Lile "to generous and hon orable action" in the above case. At the same time no thoughtful man can fail to read aright the lesson so emphatic ally taught. A husband or a father has no right, if it can be possibly avoided, to leave so im portant interests, the fruit often of a whole life's assiduous toil and care, dependent upon the trncovenanted mercy of any body of men, however humane and honorable. The protection which the Mutual Life extended to the family of Mr. Pelgram in this special instance as an act of grace and favor is extended, without any no tice or application whatever from the in sured, as a bight by THE MUTUAL BENEFIT LIFE INSUBANCE CO., OF NEWARK, N. J. If Mr. Pelgram's policy had been issued by the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Com pany, his insurance would not have been forfeited by his failure to pay the premium, as, under that Company's nonfobfeitube system, his insurance wonld have been carried in full porce for more than twelve yeabs after his default. The importance of a fair and just Non forfeiture System-will be especially appar ent when it is borne in mind that many more policies are forfeited or surrendered than are continued to maturity. According to the returns made by the 29 Life Insur ance Companies reporting to the New York Insurance Department, the amount of in surance terminated in 1887 by Death or Maturity was $39,786,526; while the amount of insurance surrendered for more or less of an equivalent was $48,356,157; and the amount of insurance absolutely forfeited by lapse, no values having oeen allowed lor same was $91,400,252. The total insurance terminated by lapse and surrender in the one year 1887 was therefore, $139,756,409 as against $39,786,526 which actually came to maturity. The Mutual Benefit policy grants the option of a paid-up policy lor a definite amount, if the insured prefers a value in that form to an extension of the fall amount of the insurance. The Mutual Benefit policy is also especially desirable owing to its freedom from all restrictions upon travel, residence or occupation after the second year; and to its incontestability except for fraud, which, of course, must be wilful and intentional.

The medicines I use are nature's own;l. e., water, exercise or rest, heat or cold, etc., etc Nature, then. Is depended upon for the real cure, and In this expectation most prominent medical men tell us we will not be disappointed. Prof. Bok savs: "As far as cure is concerned, there are few dis eases which can he cured by the aid of a physician alone." My method of treatment gives better cir culation to the blood, brings healthy sleep, and cures all manner of rheumatic and nervous aflec tlons, such as: Bheumatlsm, nervous weakness, neuralgia, nervousness, pain In Joints, stilt neck, pains In back, and restores to a weak man manly strength.
