[yn6m BUTLER, PA., WEDNESDAY; APRIL 5, 1882. SELECT. JACOB'S INSURANCE. [From Atlantic Monthly lor April, 13S-.] It resulted in a lawsuit. The culmination was on the sixth day of September, IhSI, —that strange yellow day that attracted so much at tention in the Eastern and Middle .States, —and the place of the trial was Albany. Jacob's farm-house was near the Cove, about seven miles below Albany. From his door he could look down on the Hudson. The Cove, by the old landing, with its decayed houses, was also visible. The cars racing along the farther shore of the river were a lively feature. A dozen miles lower down the valley the river hides behind the Catskills. In the house thus picturesquely situ ated, Jacob and his ancestors had lived for ninety years. The family name was an inheritance. Jacob was forty-two years old, tall, blonde, with a mobile face, and a dash of red in his cheeks. On the seventeenth day of Septem ber, of the year previous to that of the yellow day, Jacob was awakened in the night. He heard his pigs squeal ing and "bucking," as he termed it, against his house. He went out, half dressed, and found the pig-pen a heap of embers. Mary, his wife, and Wil liam, his bov, came out. They found all the pigs, but they were scorched and knocking about, and one died in a few minutes of his burns. The family went to bed again, but did not sleep much. In the morning Jacob got out his in surance policy, and he and Mary and Willie looked it over. They did not see anything about a pig-pen in it, and so he put it away again. A week later Jacob's small barn, four rods south of his house, burned. It was in the day-time, in the afternoon. Jacob came back from Albany at five o'clock, and saw only the vacancy. Willie said that at three o'clock it was on fire. Some of th-; neighbors had come, but nothing could he done. It was of pine boards, thirty years old, and empty. The insurance policy had 'all about the barns' in it. Jacob therefore went down to 'Silas's,' at the Cove, and made an application for an award. They had a local insurance company in town. They had seen 'euough' of large companies; the mutual affair at home was better. Jacob's policy was in the home company. As soon as Jacob told his story, Silas said it was all right. The committee cainc next day. They awarded Jacoba hundred dollars. It was satisfactory. Five days later Jacob's large barn, farther away from the house and on the other side, north (towards Albany), where all his hay and wagons and im plements and crops were, suddenly took fire aud burned up. It was 'astonishing!' What could have caused it ? It was a heavy loss this time. Jacob had hard work to get his horses out and save them ; all else was; consumed. It was a very mysterious fire; all three of the fires had been mysterious. This last fire occurred in the edge of the evening, just as it was growing dark. Jacob was at home in his house, and did not know of the conflagration until a woman oame from the next house, screaming. 'I didn't know you had any enemy, Jacob,' said old William Kamter, just after the fire. '1 didn't, either,' said Jacob gloom ily. There was comfort in the fact that the property had been insured. The day after the burning, Jacob weut again to the Cove and made his appli cation. 'Something seems to be after you, Jacob,' said Silas, eying him keenly. 'Yes,' said Jacob sadly. Silas wrote the required papers, and said the committee would come up soon. The very next morning, at nine o'clock, the committee were on hand and examining the place where the barn had stood. They were 'at it' raore than two hours. There was a great deal of measuring and making inquiries; they said it was a heavy loss. Besides the long examination of the place where the large barn had been, they had the curiosity to go aud look once more where the small barn had been, and took some measurements there, and they poked in the ashes of the hog-pen, aud walked about the premises. One of them carried a book, and jotted down the measurements and other items. The committee delayed making any award. They said it was an import ant matter, and they would take time. After three days Jacob went down to the Cove and inquired of Silas. The answer was that the board would meet before the end of the week, and that then something would be done about it. Some of Jacob's own immediate friends and neighbors belonged to the board. He spoke to them about it; they seemed reticent. There was delay, and another visit of the committee, with more measur ing, and a first and then a second meet ing of the board. After about fifteen days, however, Silas walked up from the Cove, a distauce of two miles, and left a letter with Mary for Jacob. When Jacob came in to dinner he got the letter. It had the insurance company heading, aud said : MB. JACOB W ILSON : SIR, —In the case of the barn on your premises, which burned on the 29th of September, 1880, it is decided, in view of all the circumstances, that no award will be made. This was signed by Silas, as secre tray of the company. A week later Jacob was in a lawyer's office in Albany, in a private consulta tion. 'I don't want no lawing,'3aid Jacob, 'and my wife says so, too, although we cannot stand to lose eighteen hun dred dollars.' 'Are you going to let them say you burned the buildings ?' said the law yer. 'They dar'n't say it,' replied Jacob, fiercely. 'That is the meaning of it,' said the lawyer. Jacob was silent. The old family name, distinguished for honesty, was at stake, as well as the property. The papers were served in Novem ber, and in January the cause was on the calendar at the Albany circuit of the Supreme Court of the State. The calendar is always crowded, and there is delay in coming to trial The cause was not reached until September the sth, 1881, at an adjourned circuit, the day before the famous yellow day, al ready alluded to. The city hall, in which the courts were held, having been destroyed by ; Ore a short time before, the circuit was held in the Assembly chamber of the old Capitol. It seemed to Jacob an imposing scene, as he entered the famous room where so many laws were made, and in which the law was to be administered in his case. He had to wait, hanging arouud the court for three days before his case was reached. The time was not lost to him. He beard several trials, which were as in teresting as storv books. At five o'clock, on the evening of the nth of September, number ninety oa the calendar, which was Jacob's case, was reached. Jacob's lawyer and the opposing counsel announced tt emselves ready. Jacob was invited forward to a seat by the side of his lawyer, and the drawing of a jury be gan immediately. A few were rejected, but before six o'clock—the hour for adjournment— twelve men who were satisfactory to both sides had been secured, and Jacob's lawyer had opened the case, and the trial was fairly begun. The Court accompanied its annouce ment of the recess until morning with a warning to the jury not to allow any one to talk with them about the case. Jacob did not sleep that night. He was at the American hotel, a quarter of a mile down State street, in front of the Capitol. He and his wife were on the third floor, at the end of the ball, in room Xo. 241. As Jacob was going to his room, a large man, with dark, piercing eyes, standing in the door of room No. 239, said, 'Your case is on, hey ?' 'Yes,' said Jacob, as he was passing. 'You'd better look sharp,' said the large man. 'Why?' inquired Jacob, wondering ly, as he paused. 'Hough business, burning down buildings,' said the large man harshl} ; and he closed the door of his room with a bang. Jacob passed on to his own apart ment. There he talked over the events of the day with his wife. When he tried to sleep that night, the Assembly chamber and the face of the large man in room No. 239 haunted him. In the morning, after breafast, down in the front hall, Jacob met the large man again. 'Try a twist at it to-day, I s'pose,' said the large man sharply to Jacob. 'Yes, the trial,' answered Jacob, nervously. 'Somebody has been committing an awful crime,' observed the large man. 'Have you seen the sky ?' 'Yes; it is strange," said Jacob, not perceiving the connection 'They say it is the end of the world, —Sodom and Gomorrah,' said the large man ; and he turned and walked away. At ten o'clock the Court convened. As Jacob approached the Capitol steps, he saw a chubby person, on the brick pavement at the foot of the steps, ex plaining to a group of people his views of the weather. 'I do not think my self,' said the chubby person, glancing at the yellow canopy, 'that it is any thing supernatural, but I have seen fifty people this morning who think it is the end of the world.' Jacob found it oppressive in the Court. The Judge said it was a gloomy room and a gloomy day. and directed the oflicers to light the gas. The artificial light did not relieve the atmospheric pallor very much, although it enabled the Judge and the lawyers to read their paper. Jacob, and Mary his wife, and Willie, aDd the woman who saw the fire first, and came to Jacob's house, screaming, testified to the facts. This, with the documentary evidence, made the plain tiffs case. The short-hand vriter of the Court took down the evidence very rapidly, and at about twelve o'clock the plaintiff's side of the case was be fore the Jury. Then the opposing counsel proceeded to open the defeuse. After a few gen eral statements he began to hint that there was a painful revelation to be made bearing upon th« character of the plaintiff. The intimation was that Jacob had burned his own buildings to get the insurance. 'That is a mean and contemptible insinuation,' exclaimed Jacob's lawyer, springing to his feet, 'and you have no right to suggest such a thing, when you know you can't prove it!' 'Sir,'rejoined the opposing lawyer, uttering the words with a pause after each, and a scathing hiss that made Jacob's flesh creep, 'we will prove it." Jacob felt as if the very ground was opening beneath him, as the lawyer went on, with diabolical coolness, to state that they had, although with some difficulty, secured the very witness who saw 'this miscreant' (indicating Jacob) lire his own buildings. Happening to turn his head just then, Jacob saw the large man sitting within six feetof him, and watching him closely. This com pleted his confusion. The subsequent proceedings upon the trial were not very clearly apprehended by Jacob. The Court took a recess for dinner. As Jacob went to his room the large man stood in the door of room No. 239 again. 'Hard at it, hey ?' he said, as Jacob passed. 'Yes, but they can't prove it,' said Jacob, with a determined accent '.Sir,' said the large man severely, 'they can prove anything, if they have the evidence,' and the large man wen*, into his room and banged the door again. In the afternoon the evidence upon the part of the defense was given. The first witnesses ca'led upyn that side did not seem very important to the case. They were, howeyer, some of Jacob's neighbors and the evidence was very painful to him ou that account. One testified tha' there could not have been as much hay in the barn when it was burned as Jacob insisted there was ' Another thought that Jacob bad exag gerated the size of the bay where the hay was storeors could look upou him as a rascal, and he had not supposed any man living would have dared to assail his good name as the opposing lawyer had assailed it. The revelation of these facts, the strange story told by Gotlieb, and the gloom of the strange day seemed to mingle in a dreadful night mare as he walked to the hotel. He went to his room, and lay down, and closed his eyes, hoping to rest. The scenes of the day were as vivid before him as a'pieture. And, through theiu, he would remember from time to time, with a sudden sharp throb, the dreadful suspense he he was under. 'Suppose the jury should find against him!' His father had been one of the consistory of a church when living, and Jacob himself had long been a church member. The hurt to his rep utation and to the family name was the sharpest sting. Jacob got up, and went to the 'far end' of hall to ask Willie to come. Willie's room was empty. Jaeobcome back, and with his wife had familv prayers iu their room. It was ten o'clock. His anxiety was intense He knew where the jury-room was. He knew that when the jury agreed th»y wou'd seal up their verdict and se, aratc, lieeause the judge bad told them to do s<>, and to bring in their verdict in the morning. He walked up to the Capitol, and, looking at the windows, saw ibet all wa» dark. On his return the large man was in the hall, up-stairs near bis door. 'I tLink the jury nutt-t bare agreed,' suggested Jacob falteringly. 'I see it is all dark in their room.' 'Sir,' saitl the laige man, glaring at him, nud speaking with a withering ! severity in his tone and manner that ' made Jacob shrink as if be had receiv ! Ed the cut of n whip-lash, 'the jury has ; found against you ; I heard of it half and hour ago.' Jacob's eyes fell, and the jrreat mis ery settled tlown upon his heart He turned silently, and walked away to bis room. What was the night that followed to Jacob Wilson ' Those who have suddenly lost a good name may perhaps understand it. Jacob did not stir out of his room until court-time, next morning Then, as be descended the hotel stairs, every one seemed to him to be looking at him, and shunning him. He wasyery pale and weak, and walked slowly, breathing short. He had a century of family pride behind him ; and he felt that he was going to meet his doom, —to pass under a cloud, that might never lie lifted. As he walked up the Capitol steps, a man near inquired of another, 'Did that jury agree last night?' 'Yes,' was the reply. 'How did they find?' 'Ain't supposed to know,' said the other, indifferently. Jacob passed on iutothe court-room. The judge was just taking his seat. 'Mr. Clerk,' said the judge, 'you may take the verdict of that jury that was out last nigbt. I see they are all here." Jacob had not yet sat down. He stood by a seat, looking. He had steeled himself; he was white and firm. 'Gentlemen,' said the clerk, 'have you agreed upon your verdict ?' 'We have, replied the foreman, ris ing, and handing a buff envelope to an officer. The officer carried it to the , clerk. The clerk offered it to the judge. 'Open it,' said the judge, seutcn tiously. Jacob saw the clerk tear open the envelope, unfold the paper it contained, aud give it a long, earnest look. 'Gentlemen of the jury,' said the clerk, 'you will listen to your verdict as the court hath recorded it.' Jacob held his breath. 'You say you find,' continued the clerk, 'in favor of the plaintiff, in the sum of eighteen hundred and fifty dol lars ; and so you all say.' Thejurj'men nodded. 'You will please vacate the box, gentlemen,'said the judge. 'Mr. Clerk, you may now draw a jury in ninety seven.' Jacob stood, his eyes glassy for a moment, as if unconscious. 'Well, you are all right,' said an of ficer who stood near him ; and tho offi cer offered to shake bauds with him. Jacob put out his hand mechanically, and got a shake. A hot flush was seen starting up from Jacob's neck. His sensitive, mobile face twisted and worked ; his chin quivered; He turned and walked toward the door. He staggered; his step was almost that of an intoxicated person. 'What's the matter with that man that just went out ?' said a lawyer, who came in a moment later, to an of ficer near the door. 'Got a verdict in that insurance case, —full amount. Did n't expect it, I s'pose.' said the officer, iudifferently. 'Kind of upset him, hey ?' said the lawyer, laughing. 'Katherly,' said the officer. Jacob went down the sidewalk tow ar j the hotel. People did In reality look at him now, as bo passed, trying to hide bis flushed face and the tears. He got to the room and told Mar}', and tbey had what the landlord de scribed as 'a time.' The landlord said that he happened up there, and there was more praying aud crying than was allowable in that hotel. As the painful, nervous strain was taken off, Jacob became faint, and lay down, and Mary went out and got him a lemon. Soon there came a knock at Jacob's door. It was the large man. Jacob sat on the edge of the bed, eating the lemon. 'I really must beg, Mr. Wilson, the privilege of making an apology,' said the large man, advancing toward the middle of the room, resting his hand upon a table, and speaking with a courtliness and respect that seemed to lift Jacob up into a position of import ance. Ho continued, 'I must have been misinformed by the officer about that verdict last night. Of course we know there has been to much tampering with juries, and a habit of finding out verdicts before they are rendered. It is all wrong, certainly, though it is often done. We accept the deception which the jury employed to mislead the officer as a yery proper rebuke. I don't want you to lay up anything against me about it.' 'Ob, no,' said Jacob. 'lt's dreadful, ain't it?—burning peoples buildings in this way,' suggest ed the large man, confidentially. 'Yes: seems to be a sort of crime.' ventured Jacob, hesitatingly.
