SPECULATION
u
Life Insurance in Juniata County.
Stand
mg on Ma? a street n .
mmH- i . ...
:T"" c,UIen "There U no need
J J
B .ocount.es east of U,i, to find the
peculator in liTo Inimrance in old people,
Md in people who have poor health. The
business is carted oh extensively in Juni
ata. Only jresterday, on the streets of Mif
nintown a citiaen boasted that he had ju.t
received twelve hundred dollars on an in
vestment in a three thousand dollar policy,
nd be has invested in other policies." Con
tinuing, he said, "There is a fortune in this
kind of speculation to the man who can
command means, for a considerable length
of time. But let me not be misunderstood.
I am not in the business, and I do not say
hat Mifflintown is the focal point from
which the trade radiates. On the other
bsnd, I believe that the tide of business is
coming in by way of both the west and east
end ot thi County. One of the chief men
lives in Susquehanna township; he is sort
of head than Tor the trade that comes in by
way or MeKee's Haf-Falls and Liverpool.
The current from that direction is felt as
far west as Tbompsonlown. Another cur
rent is fro-h Snyder county, where, it is
said, a new company is forming that will
insure children 6 years old, and people 88
years of age. The pulsations of the Sny
der county business is felt at McAlisterville,
where there is a Life Insurance Ageut. If
MUTiintown can escape the currents that
seem to converge toward her, it is more
than I expect. Only three miles down the
river, it is said, one of the agents lives.
The current that runs through bis office
has come down Tuscarora vallev from York
through Perry county. Up in Lack town
ship there is an old silvery-bsired man who
has become an object of the deVpest solici
tude tor speculators. One citizen ol Water
loo has a policy on him of fifteen thousand
dollars. Another speculator has a policy of
fit teen thousand dollars on the same man,
snd sil" others became so solicitous that
they scared the popular subject to such a
di gree that he rel used to sign for other pol
icies. It is said that he gt scared by some
tone Pilling hini ol the Lebanon Ruber trans
action. Over near Bealetown an old man
died a few days ago, upon whom, it is said,
large insurance had been taken, and if he
had not died'just bn bedid, several other
large policies would have been gotten out,
as foe spectators were doing their best to
fix things for larger insurance, when be died.
There is an agent at McCoy sville, who has
more papeia than several of the Mifflintown
lawyers combined. Aa old man, Cut far
from Reed's (Jap, has been largely insured.
A young man near Johnstown has his grand
mother insured for cine thousand dollars.
So yon see MifSintown is quite surrounded, j
Commencing at elcAlistemlle, thence to
Tbofipsontown, thence to Port Royal,
thence to Johnstown, and the circle has nar
rowed to be a Vnifcll one. I would like to
say more on the question, but it docs not
suit just now," and aith that the wide
awake citizen ceased talking ; and thus end
eth the chapter for this time.
Court Proceedings.
Conrt convened on Monday, with all the
Judges present. The first case s tt el
the Road Supervisors of Fermanagh twu
ship against the Borough Authority of Mil
lliutown, to recover the srin ot t'llt.W tor
the repairing ot the lower basin bridge.
Last year suit was brosgtt against the town
ship supervisors to compel iheiu to repair
the bridge. They resisted, under the be
lief that the bridge belongs to the boruugh.
An act of Legislature, defining the borough
limits, was produced in court, and Uner
that act the township supervisors were or
dered by the Court to repair the bridge.
The repairs were lua ie. By a later act than
the one under which ttt) supervisors were
ordered to repair the bridge, it was di.cov
ered that the borough line hid been changed
to definitely include the bridge in dispute,
and under that act the jury were instructed
to find for the township in the sum of 217.
The case occupied the time from Monday
till Tuesday 10 a. m. Lawyers, Parker and
Allen, and Atkinson.
The next case was a trouble about costs,
between Kuouse and Walls, two ex-sheriffs,
the amount involved being between fifteen
and sixteen dollars. Jury went out at noon.
Lawyers, Beidler and Patterson.
The next case called, and which ia now
before ihe Court, is that of the Common
wealth vs. J. R. Memiuinger, for adultery
and fornication. Prosecutrix, Miss Mary
Bell Kennedy.

Blushing Bonnet, and to the ribbons
which are tied under the wearer's chin

Cause them to be suffused with a genu
