THE EEPUBLICAXS KLTOET IN KIND. Considerate More ToHties .Than Logic Developed1 Darin; the Da jr. A number of tariff ora;Sors aired their opinions in the Houbc yestctrday. The last Presidental election was a favorite topic for discussion. The Democrats deny that the verdict of the people was against rerenue reform. Washington, May 9. The tariff bill was again debated in the House to-day. Mr. Filch, of Kew York, was the first speaker. In criticism of Mr. McKinley Mr. Fitch said that having failed to do what he had promised in his speech of two years ago, on the Mills' bill, abo nt tobacco, and done what he had not promised to do about supar, Mr. McKinlev went a step farther and repudiated all his arguments contained in that speech. The bill wrts a makeshift to meet a political situation. Mr. Gear expressed his opposition to any trurt or combine formed to enhance the price of the necessaries of life. He believed in following the advice of th Irishman to his son in going to Donnybrook fair, "If you see a head, hit it" "Whenever Con press saw the head of a trust, sxaite it down. The time had come for the American Con press to end the sugar combine by passing the pending bill. CHEAr SUGAR FOE XI. This bill gave the people cheap raw sugar and cheap refined sugar, and destroyed, root and branch, the Greatest combine knotru to the country a combine which might be called the American devil fish which had been devouring the substance of the people lor almost a century. - Mr. Crisp, of Georgia, did not believe that to the manufacturer protection .had been a beneficial system. As to the laborers in manufacturing establishments, as to the farmers throughout the land, tie felt sure that the system had been injurious. The system drove out competition. It diminished the number of producers of a riven article and increased the ease and facility with which they could combine to -elevate the price. Mr. Crisp, having declared that the re duction in the prices of shoes and other useful articles was due not to the tariff, as asserted by the Republican party, but to in vention, Mr. alter, of Massachusetts, asked if it were not the tariff w bich had caused inventions to be made here in such splendor and prolificness. THE A3IEEICAN INVENTOR. Mr. Crip denied this and declared that no legislation that could be pau.ed could prevent American enterprise from, cheapen ing the necessities of life. It was absurd to ascribe invention to protection. Mr. Walker Can yon conceive anything that goes further iu the line of protection than a patent? Mr. Crisp The theory of the rwitent law is to stimulate the genius of invention and the Government says to a man, "If you will discover anything that is useful to mankind we will agree that you shall have the monopoly ot its sale for 17 years." The patent system gives to an individual that which is Ins by reason of discovery. Pro tection takes from the farmer by lorce that which is his by reason of labor. The majority of the "Ways and Means Committee, said Mr. Crisp, continuing, was pledged to the principle of protection, and offered a sop to the farmer. It said to the farmer that it had put a duty on his prod ucts, when the truth was that that vrould do him no good. The way to benefit the farmer was to give him free salt, to give him free cotton ties and to reduce the price of the necessaries or life. SOME STRONG CHARGES. Gentlemen on the other side claimed that they were recording the Terdict of .lhe peo ple. The people did not agree tiat the tariffouestion had been finally settled at the polls. Itwas generally believed that the protected industries had put together a great campaign fnnd by which they bought in "blocks of five" men to vote to caitry out their ideas. Afterthe Republicans bad ob "taincd money and place in this way. they now proposed to refund that money in the sbape of an illegal and unjust tax. Mr. Rayne, of Pennsylvania Do you be lieve that? Mr. Crisp I do. Ihavenot the shadow of n doubt of it. Mr. Pavne, of Hew York, remarked that the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Millti) had said that he knew how the Republicans had carried the election. Of course the gentle man did. He came into the rural districts of Xew York fixed up with a canal boa.t and four mules. The gentleman though t tbat method of locomotion was about fast euiough for the Democratic party. It was about as near up to the times as the Democratic party was. Laughter. The people had trampled the Democratic party underfoot and tbat was how the Republicans wo a the victory. The gentleman from Tenn essee (Mr. McMillin) had said something about the ue of money. He had intimated that the Postmaster General had contributed money. A MATTER OP HISTORY. Mr. McMillin I didn't intimate any thing. I said it was a part of history. Mr. Payne I notice that my friend did not say anything about his Presidental can didate and his Cabinet officers who ste iped up to the captain's office and settled in vio lation of the civil service law. Applause and laughter. Of course that money was to charter canal boats and not to buy vo tes. Mr. Payne then proceeded to argue in support of the bill, especially those features which he contended would be of benefit to farmers. Mr. Wheeler, of Alabama, spoke against the bill, and then the committee rose and the House took a recess tilL 8 o'clock. ABDUCTED A YOTJNG LADY.

TO RAISE RATES AND LOWER BROKERS' COMMISSIONS. Ont of 140 Companies 117 Hare Expressed Their Willingness to Join Rnte-Cottlnc; to be Prevented br Imposing Stringent Pennlttet A Meeting to be Called Soon. New York, May 9. A gigantic local fire insurance combination is just now in process of formation in this city. The projectors of the scheme expect within a week or ten days to practically complete the preliminary ob taining of signatures, and a meeting will then be called for organization. There are in the metropolis in the neighborhood ot 140 insurance companies carrying on business. Several times during the past 15 years com binations have been formed among them to raise the insurance rates and to lower the brokers' commissions. But each time there has been a collapse owing to the secret prac tices of certain other smaller companies in privatelv cutting rates. The last combina tion fell through in April 1887. Ever since tbat breaklhere has been quiet talk among insurance men of getting up an other combination but with more stringent rules, which would make it impossible for a collapse to occur owing to the secret work of the rate cutters. Last November the mat ter took definite form. A Committee on Sig natures was appointed to visit representa tives of the 140 companies in the city and to secure their allegiance to the formation of an association. The committee consists of Lindley Murray, Jr., of the Empire City In surance Company, as Chairman; B. G. Ack erman, of McEerman, Deyo & Hilliard; George Pritchard, of the Lancashire Insur ance Company, and C. C. Little, of the Phoenix Insurance Company, of Brooklyn. Through the committee's efforts, up to the present time, out of the 140 companies 117 have signed the agreement. HIGH TIDES CAUSE A LOSS. The Manhattan Beach Hotel In the Bands of a Receiver. New York, May 9. The high tide of last September and the storms that swept the coast caused so much damage to the Manhattan Beach Improvement Company that a reorganization was rendered neces sary, and to-day the first step was taken to that end by the appointment of a receiver. The application was made to Justice Pratt, in the Supreme Court, Brooklyn, in behalf of the bondholders and stockholders, and James K. O. Sher wood, of Glen Cove, was appointed. Under a bond of $50,000 he will take possession of the property as trustee, collect the debts, put the property in repair, and operate the hotels. The deposition of Austin Corbin was among the papers submitted. Mr. Cor bin said he had been familiar with the prop erty for 20 years. For the last two years especially it had suffered from the action of the sea, and in September last, during the phenomenally high tide, a large amount, of damage had been done. The profits had been absorbed by the cost of repairs, and it was necessary to borrow money for running expenses. The receiver will foreclose a mortgage of 51,000,000 on the property. The bonds are at 7 per cent, but ihe company is to be reorganized with a new issue of bonds at 4 per cent, and the de ficiency will be made up to the bondholders in additional stock. Tae hotel will open as usual this season. WON A FOBTUNE AND A BRIDE. FoIOlraent of tin Eneneement That Has Lasted for 19 fears. Norwich, N. Y May 9. The porch of an old-fashioned farmhouse in the neigh boring town of Otselic was recently the scene of the fulfilment of one of the longest marriage engagements on record. Nineteen years ago Miss Delia Newton, then 17 years of age, lived with her parents in the house. In a neighboring farmhouse lived Arthur R. Tucker, who had just attained his ma jority. The pair had been playmates and were lovers. The young man was poor, and he decided to go to Virginia and seek bis fortune, and when he had acquired it, return and claim the girl as his wne. The lovers parted at the porch of the old farm house, he giving and she accepting a plain gold ring as a mutual pledge of enduring affection and constancy. The young man settled in Richmond and buckled bravely to work. But fate was cruel, and for many long years sickness and other misfortunes interposed a bar to the nuptials. At last his luck changed, and he struck a high tide of prosperity. Then he hastened back to Chenango county to claim the betrothed who for 19 years had faithfully awaited his coming. They were united in wedlock by the Rev. J. A. Packard in the porch of the old farmhouse where tbey had parted, the well-worn betrothal ring serving as a marriage ring. MAN AND MONEY MISSING.

This city is thoroughly excited over an abduction that took place last night. Frank J. Evans is President of the freshman class and toast master at the class banquet which took place to-night. .Last night he was missed from his accustomed haunts, and inquiry developed the fact that five men had seized him on the street and hustled him into a hack, driving rapidly away. Meetings were called, and searching parties were or ganized and sent in every direction. One party traced him to Moreland, 16 miles from Ann Arbor, where they found the party lodged in a hotel. "When Evans was given up it was found that the abduct ors were five sophomores who bad run away with Evans in the hope of breaking up the freshman event. WORE FOB COLLEGE MEN. Discussed by ibe Y.

A Bridge to Enable Lawrenceville People to Go to the Library, TO BE BUILT NEAR BEN VEKUE. Mr. Carnegie Yiews Plans for a Cross-Town Street Railway. IESTEDArS MEETING POSTPONED. The Letter Bent Cornells to be Considered by the Library Committee To-Day. Residents of Bloomfield and Lawrence ville want to get to the Schenley Park, and propose to have the Pennsylvania Railroad construct a bridge across their tracks at Ben Venue station. A cross-town road from Bloomfield to the Southside is another scheme projected to enable people to get to the park and library. The latest scheme in connection with the proposed site of the Carnegie library near the Schenley Park entrance is a bridge from the end of Bellefield avenue to a point across the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks near Ben "Venue station. This would bring tbelibrary and park within easy access of Lawrence ville and Bloomfield. The idea is being agitated by residents of Bellefield and Bloomfield, and as the bridge is to be built by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, it is more than probable that something will be done about it. Nothing definite is as yet known as to whether the main library building will be located near the Schenley Park or not. If it is, it is certain the bridge will be built if the railroad company is prodded by some legal suggestions. Early yesterday morning Mr. Carnegie, accompanied by James B. Scott and E. M. Bigelow, chief of the Department of Public "Works, paid a visit to Schenley Park. Mr. Carnegie wanted to take a private view of the proposed site for the library and go over the grouud thoroughly. On his former visit every member of the commission had something to say about the site. As a natural result, Mr. Carnegie saw little and heard much. He took his time yesterday morning, and, after going over the ground, said he thought it was a good location. "Whether he would recommend that the building be located there or not he did not say. The site that now meets with the greatest approbation is near the proposed site of the Institute for the Blind, on Belle- held avenue. the proposed bridge. The proposed bridge to connect Bellefield avenue with Bloomfield will be about 200 feet long, and will be close to Ben Venue station. Bellefield avenue extends across Fifth avenue, from the entrance to Schenley Park, and truus up past the Herron Hill reservoir to Ridge street. It is paved nearly the whole distance. At a point near the in tersection of Bellefield avenue, Craig and Ridge streets the bridge will be thrown across the valley through which the Penn sylvania tracks are laid. It would about strike the mouth of Pearl street or Cedar street. An ordinary pedestrian could walk from the mouth of Pearl street, in Bloom field, via this route, to the proposed site for the library in about 20 minutes. Pearl street crosses Liberty avenue. The latter running east and west, the bridge would be about in the center of the Bloomfield and Lawrenceville districts. The residents of Bloomfield pin their faith on the bridge being built on account of the agreement entered into between the Pennsylvania Railroad and the city when the former took possession of the lower end of "Washington street and Grant street. The people claim the company made a proposi tion to build bridges over their tracks at points designated by the city officials. The last bridge was bui'lt at Thirty-third street, and the residents of Bloomfield claim they should have one to connect that part of the city wjth Herron Hill or Oakland. A CROSSTOWN ROAD TOO. In connection with the bridge it may be stated that a movement is on foot to construct a crosstown railway from Lawrenceville to Thirty-third street on the Southside. "While visiting the Herron Hill 6ite on Thursday, Mr. Carnegie said he had seen plans for a crosstown road that would run close to the park, and consequently would not be far from the library Tbe road is to cross a bridge over the Monongahela river from Thirty-third street to Forward avenue. Ex Councilman "William West, ot Carson street, is at the head of this scheme, which was fully described in The Dispatch sev eral months ago. Mr. Carnegie said the travel to the park and library on Saturdays and Sundays alone, ought to pay the road a handsome dividend. He did not say whether he would take any stock or not, but hinted it would be a good investment. p The Councilmanic contingent of the Board of Trustees of the Pittsburg CarnegieFree Library was to have met yesterday to con sider Mr. Uarnegie s letter, winch will be presented in Councils next Monday. Some changes are to be made in the original ordi nance, but these are provided for bv agree ment of Tuesday last, when Mr. Carnegie met the Councilnien. The meeting was postponed, however, until this afternoon, when it will be held at some central point, presumably City Hall. It is stated that the ordinance will show when presented tbat, while Mr Carnegie conceded certain things, the city representation met him at least halt way. The letter of Mr. Carnegie will not be published until submitted to Councils. TESTED A DRYD0CK. Tho Furltan Floats Easily Into the Govern ment' 81,000,000 rnrchnse. New Yoek, May 9. The formal opening of the new timber drydock at the Brooklyn Navy Yard took place this afternoon. The dock was formally accepted by the Govern ment. A large delegation from "Washing ton was present to witness the trial, as were also many citizens of the city. Secretary Tracy was detained in Baltimore to-day, and could not reach the navy vard in time to witness tbe ceremonies. He was repre sented, however, by the chiefs of the several bureaus of the Navy Department. The monitor Puritan, with whicn the trial was to be made, was bedecked with flags and streameis until the old craft looked exceed ingly gnv. It required an hour to fill the dock, and when the caisson was removed to admit of the passage of the Puritan, she was slowly pushed forward and floated in. The caisson was then replaced and the dock pumped dry. At the conclusion of the cere monies there was a luncheon, at which toasts were drunk to the President, the Secretary ot the Navy, and the line and the navv. The cost of the docK to the Government was 51,000,000. ANOTHER BANK IN TROUBLE. A Kntional Instlmtlon in Krw York State Said to be 8600,000 Short. tSriCIAI. TKLXOBXM TO THI DISPATCH. I "Washington, May a. In the corridors of the Arlington, where New York politi cians mostly congregate when ip Washing ton, there were rumors freely circulated to night of some possible startling disclosures as to the affairs of one of the national banks in an interior city of New York State. Its affairs have been under investigation by national bank examiners and a shortage of $600,000 is hinted at Names of prominent Republican officials and politicians are mentioned as said to be implicated, and distinguished ex-statesmen of national reputation are accredited with efforts to smooth the matter over and cover it up. AT LEAST THIRTEEN DEAD. THE SECOND ASYLUM FIRE WORSE THAN ' REPORTED. One Imbecile Seared Into Her Senses br the Disaster The Entire Troth Will Not be Known Until After the Coroner's InvestU cntlon. Utica, N. Y., May 9. The number of bodies found in the ruins of tbe poor house in Preston, Chenango county, already num bers 13. The impression is growing that the loss of life far exceeds the first estimate. In the building were many very aged men and women, some of whom had not left ' their beds for months, and others, who from weakness of mind were incapable of finding their way out of the building in the midst of the confusion and excitement which prevailed. It is nowbelievedthat anumberof these per ished, and his belief is strengthened by the discovery of a body this forenoon at some distance from the department occupied by the imbeciles. There are several feet of ashes and debris in the cellar, and the probabilities are that when they are removed a number of bodies will be found. Many of the old people had no relatives, and they are only brought to mind by the' recol lection of the keeper and their companions, so it is impossible as yet to say where ana how many are missing. The building burned very rapidly, as If pitched and tarred, and with great fierceness. The fire was intensely hot, and the belief exists that some of Nthe bodies were so completely incarcerated that no trace of them can be found. One insane woman was captured near Plymouth, some 12 miles distant, last night. She was half clad, and bewailing the loss of her home. One of the imbeciles was scared into her senses by the fire, and escaping from the burning room bv a win dow reached the roof and crawled along the ridge board, and roused the keeper's wife from slumber, thus saving her life. On Monday the Coroner's jury will begin the taking of testimony, and it is not expected that the full number of those missing will be known till then, as the officials are very reticent. The insane paupers will be brought to "Utica on Saturday, and prepa rations are being made in the State Hospital to receive them. WARRING WITH WATERSPOUTS. 4 Philadelphia Captain Obliged to Shoot One la Self-Defense. Philadelphia, May 9. The three masted schooner Henry "Waddington, Cap tain Megee, from Havana, had a queer ex perience. On April 30, when iu latitude 31.12, longitude 78.45, the weather was squally, with occasional thunder and light ning. Toward noon five tremendous water spouts loomed up in the "Western horizon, all pursuing the same course, due east, directly on tbe line of the schooner. The wind being squally the schooner was close reefed, hut throug'h good handling she was got out of the track of all but one of the pillars of foam. This one seemed to be heading directly for the ship's stern, and Captain Megee rushed down into his cabin, got his gun and fired several shots into it as it approached. "I had read that thi would break the force of a waterspout," said Captain Megee yesterdav, "but it had no effect on it what ever." The spout passed clear of thevessel, but had it strnck her no one would ever have lived to tell the tale. The Gertrude Abbott, from Havana, also passed a number of waterspouts. FIGHTING AT A FUNERAL. One Man Stabs Another and Threats of Lynching are Made. Cincinnati, May 9. John G. Pr3ther, a prominent citizen of Chilo, in Clermont county, was buried here yesterday. As the funeral train was returning from the ceme tery a cry was beard and "William Stewart, an old white-haired man, was seen standing in the road with blood pouring from a ghastly knife wound in his neck. Stewart said that George Heck had tried to murder him. Heck was immediataly arrested and place'd in the county jail at Batavia. Threats of lynching were made by the ex cited citizens. Heck's version of the affair is that Stewart had tried to kill him a year ago and yester day be had attacked him, (Heck), and in warding off the blow, Heck had stabbed the old man with a penknife with which he happened to be whittling a stick at the time.

Checks for Larjfe Amounts of Money loaned to Various Parties WITHOUT COLLATERAL' BEING GIYEH. The Prisoner Charged With Emptying the Bank's Strong Box. - President Claassen, who is charged with wrecking the Sixth National Bank of New York, is now on trial in the "United States Court under an indictment for embezzle ment, misappropriation and making false entries. New York. May 9. The trial of Peter J. Claassen, the ex-President of the Sixth National Bank, under the indictment charging him with embezzlement, misap propriation and making false entries, was begun in earnest before Judge Benedict in the United States Circuit Court to-day. The defendant's wife and danghters sat be side him. Chas. H. Leland, from whom Claassen bought the controlling interest in the bank and who afterward purchased his stock back, was the first witness called. He went over tbe details of the transaction which preceded his surrendering tbe stock to Claassen, under an agreement. Mr. Leland went on to say tbat after the preliminaries had been attended to he introduced Claassen to the officers of the Park Bank as his succes sor and gave him the key to the "strong box" containing the bank gilt-edged securities. thought he was a good mah. Evidence was next introduced to show that as boon as Claassen secured possession of the bank's assets, he, through his agents, turned them over to parties who'paid the checks with which the bank was bought. Witness declared that, when he turned over the bank to defendant, he bad every reason to believe that Claassen had qualified as his successr to the presidency. Andrew E. Colson said he was cashier of the bank on the 22d of January, 1890. " It was tbe Sixth National Bank. On that day the assets of the bank amounted to $2, 669,000. The surplus was between 5450, 000 and $600,000. The capital stock was 5200,000. On January 25, President Claas sen handed witness a slip on the bank of which were written instructions for the wit ness to transfer 985 shares of stock of bank as directed to-wit: Two hundred shares to Claassen and 785 shares to James A. Simmons. Immediately after Mr. Claassen was elected President he said to witness: "I have loaned 5180,000 already. You make out three checks for 560,000" each, pavable to Pell, "Wallack & Co., John Satteriee.& Co., and James A. Simmons." LOANS WITHOUT SECURITY. These checks were signed by the witness as cashier, and by Claassen as President. Claassen said they would get as security for the loans New York Central and Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, while as a ma ter of fact no security was received until live days later, and then it was not that mentioned by Mr. Claassen. The 5622,000 bond which Claassen gave Pell, "Wallack & Co. were taken without the witness' knowl edge. This is the 5622,000 mentioned in first count of the indictment charging Claassen with embezzlement. There was no entrv in books of bank of delivery of the 5622000 bonds to Pell, "Wallack & Co. Bank Examiner A. B. Hepburn was the last witness for the day. He testified as to facts already testified to showing how he discovered that the securities of the bank were missing and the subsequent recovery of a portion of them. GERMAN SOCIALIST DEMANDS.

An Heiress to a Ijarffe Fortnne Alone and Friendless Her Flcbt for Her Rlstats Unsuccessful A Sad Story From Phila delphia. Philadelphia, May 9. To be an heiress to millions, to live for 75 dreary years in poverty, dependent upon the kindness of friends for a mere existence, and to finally die in a garret, early yesterday morning, at No. 9 North Eleventh street, without a dollar in her possession, was the fate of Henriette Girard, a niece of Stephen Girard, the founder of the celebrated college which bears his name. For the last three years the dead woman has been involved in litigation with her sister-in-law, Mrs. Girard, of 2208 Green street, who, she claimed, was in possession of the vast fortune to which she was en titled. Henriette Girard came to this country three years ago to bring suit against the Mrs. Girard living on Green street, and retained lawyers for tbe purpose, but Bhe exhaused the few dollars she had and died, it is said, of a broken heart. Henriette Girard, together with a sister now living in Paris and a brother August, who died some years ago, were joint heirs to property left them under the will of Mrs. Yiddell, who was a member of tbe Girard family, and who died in this city. The property was variously estimated in value at from $5,000,000 to 510,000,000. At the time of Mrs. Yiddell's death the heirs to her property were all residents at Paris. Under the provisions of the will tbe heirs were not to come in possession of the "property until they were of age. August Girard, having already attained his ma jority at the time of Mrs. Viddell's death, came to this country at once, and after a short time gained possession of his share of the dead woman's vast wealth and prop erties. Both his sisters, whose shares in the estate were equal with his own, were mere girls, and August Girard was appointed by the Court as executor until they attained their majority. Not long after the acquisitionof the money August Girard was married, and, although his sisters, who continued to live in Paris, had attained their majority, he made no ef fort to put them in possession of their money. Finally August Girard died, and it was thought by the two sisters that with his death wonld come a settlement of the case. But when tbe will was probated it showed that all the property left by Mrs. Yiddell was left to his widow, the two sisters being not only entirely ignored, but the property to which they claimed they were entitled being mentioned in their brother's will as being his own. August Girard left the entire estate to his wife, and it was her possession of it which the woman, who died amid such lonely sur roundings, was contesting. A RAILROAD DECISION. The Court Bales That a Committee Is Responsible for a million. Netv Tore, May 9. In 1881 a scheme was gotten up for a continuous rail route from Toledo to Richmond, Ya., which ne cessitated a consolidation of the Ohio Cen tral, the Richmond Terminal and the Atlan tic and Northwestern railroads. Money was obtained and 55,000,000 in bonds were issued. This money was to be distributed proportionately, and George B. Seney, a director of the Ohio Central, and Samuel Shethor, of the Allegheny and Richmond, were the committee appointed to take charge of it. The money was to be used for connect ing the lines, but 5589.000 of the $1,250,000, which was to go to the Richmond and Alle gheny under the the agreement, was paid after the Yirginia Legislature had refused the necessary consent for the extension of the road. This defeated the scheme, and the Rich mond and Allegheny was not entitled to the money received from the committee, and as security for the payment issued second mort gage bonds. The Ohio Central hypothecated these bonds with the Metropolitan Bank, and suit was brought by David H. Gould and other stockholders against the committee, and others. Judgment was given for the plaintiff, but not as against the bank and tbe Ohio Cen tral. This judgment was affirmed to-day by the general term, which holds that Ihe committee must account for the 51,250,000 paid to the Richmond and Allegheny be sides 5148,066 52, which they paid on Ohio Central's coupons.

Storrs, the son of the late Emory Storrs, ihe eminent Chicago lawyer, has been removed to the New York State Insane Asylum at Poughkeepsie. This is the climax to a series of sensations in which young Storrs has figured disagreeably for nearly two years. He first became notori ous in a divorce suit brought against him in this city by his wife, Alien Storrs. Storrs retaliated with a cross bill, in which he accused h'3 wife and her relatives with conspiring to put him-out of the way in order to get at his fortune. This fortune consisted of an estate of S60, 000, left him by his mother, who died re cently in Chicago. "When Emory Storrs died he was absolutely penniless, notwith standing that he had for years had a prac tice that yielded him not less than 560,000 annually. So careless was he in financial matters that he even allowed the premium to lapse on a life insurance policy that he had taken out a fact that was not discov ered until after bis death: In recognition of tbe distinguished ser vices that he had rendered dnring his life time, the citizens of Chicago subscribed a fund of 5100,000 to erect a monumeuc to his memory and to provide tor his widow. The monument cost 510,000, and 560,000 was placed in the hands of the trustees for the benefit of Mrs. Storrs. At her death it re verted to the son, under the administration of the trustees, who paid him a monthly al lowance of 5100. From the time that he came into this money Storrs started in on a wild, aimless life, during which he passed through all sorts of strange adventures. Some six weeks ago Storrs was arraigned on a charge of being drunk and disorderly and of libel ing his sister and brother-in-law. He was held to await the action of the grand jury and was later indicted. He made no at tempt to defend himself, and his actions throughout were so peculiar that a commis sion was appointed to inquire into his sanity. The commission, consisting of Drs. Mag ness. Brush and Carlisle, was appointed by County Judge Mills, of "Westchester, and after a carefnl examination declared him insane, and he was accordingly committed. A PUGILISTIC RIOT. Drnnken Roughs Take Forcible Possession of on Ohio Village. Cincinnati, May 9. A crowd of roughs left Cincinnati about midnight to-night in furniture wagons, and rode to the village of Groesbeck, about nine miles from the city. The crowd consist ed of friends of two local light weights, George Dufey add Tommy Burke, who were to engage in a prize fight. Upon reaching Groesbeck tbe saloons were thrown open and the entire party soon be came very drunk and virtually took possession of the town. These drunken brawlers then went to the house of a resident of Groesbeck and demanded the use of his barn. Permission being refused, the doors were forced and a ring formed, and even the owner was denied admission. In the prize fight which now took place, the crowd inter fered in all but in one round, and as the feeling seemed to be mainly in favor -of Burke, Dufiey's friends slipped him away, fearin that he might be dangerously hurt. After Dufey had gone Burke's friends demanded of tbe referee that he give the fight to Burke. The referee refused to do this, and was pursued by the drunken crew, armed with kuives and piitols. "Wiser counsel, however, prevailed, and a riot was prevented. Those 87 90 Holts. They are creating a big sensation and everyone concedes them to be the greatest bargains ever offered.
