Stockholders of a Defunct Insurance Company Must Pay Up. Des Moines, In,, November 21.—An important decision was rendered by Judge Shiras of the United States cir- cuit court, against the stockholders of tho Lamar Insurance company, of Chi- cago. The case has been in litigation since the great fire of 1871, and has been in all courts i Illinois and Towa during that time. The case in point was brought to compel the stockholders of the de- funct company who had not paid up stock in full to reimburse parties insured for loss at that time. The defense was that the Lamar company had transfer- red its business to the People’s Insur. ance company, of San Francisco, thus exempting them from further liability. The losses amounted to $500,000, of which the People paid in the neighbor- hood of $400,000. The court holds that the original stockholders in the Lamar company are liable for the full amount necessary to reimburse the complainonts. This only affects the stockholders who had not paid up for stock in full. The court also issues a decree for collection of claims of about $100,000 and costs. o — - The 1llinsis Odd Fellows, SeriNariep, November 21.—One of the most important matters that engaged the attention of the 0dd Fellows grand lodge was the resolution instructing the grand representatives to use their influ- ence in seeuring legislation to pay bene- fits to brothers who, through age or infirmity, are unable to to work, the same substantially 1 as sick benefits are now paid.

A large number of other poligamist officers are holding over in the same way in disre- gard of the election.

A horse cannot obtain a record unless he wins some thing or beats some- thing.

The question has ceased to be a debatable one, F. B. Harper, ownor of Longfellow and Broeck, says: ‘““Longfellow is now 16 years old and Ten Brock 12. T always keop a wateh over them both night and day. 1 have beon offered $50,000 for Longfellow, but I wouldn't sell him for $£100,000, nor would I sell Ten Broc k for the samo monoy. 1 will keep thom as long as they live, or until [ die.

Mr. Chapin also intends to embark in the breeding of coachers, having secured twelve coach mares, several of them in foal to the French coaching stallion Brin da Meur., In England, as in America, competent lightweight jockeys aro very rare, the difficulty being io find a boy of light weight who can handle a horse. The result is that when one is found the pro- ession of jockey is quito a bonar za to the possessor of the requisite qualifications, It is said that Martin, the champion light-weight of England, will close the presont year with thesuin of £5000 (825, 000) as his earnings. Martin is between 15 and 16 years of age, goes ts school re- gulurly, and is therofore not strictly a professional jockey as yet. fes There is a cagse at Marshland which illustrates the dunger of incestuous in- breeding. The chesnut mave Jubilee, by Mambrino Pilot, by Mambrino Chi out of Woodbine(d m of Woodtord Mam- brino by Mambrino Chief), was mated with Mambrino Dudley (son of Wondford Mambrino),and the result was a chestnut filly with hind legs so defective *hat Gen. Teacy was more than hulf inclined to de- stroy the foal. Her legs have greatly improved within the lust two months, however, and she will probably be kept for experimental purposes. A positive outcross on her would probubly givea colt with good legs. The new Coney Island track is to he ponsstc pod, like maj ority of the Austra- ian courses, and its entire circumfercuce measures one mile and a furlong, Mile races will be started from a new “'chute,” in the rear of what is now the quarter- pole while the finishing post willbe moved some distance down. The new track will be wide and spacious. On the turns its width will be 50 feet; on the back-stretch 80 feet, and the homestretch 100 feet, At each furlong pole the track will be made 125 feet in width, to allow ample room for starting a large field of horses, The homestreteh is rendered a full quar- tor of a, mile straight. e e—— He Wen t With Buftalo BilL Raciye, Wis,, Special Telegram, Novewmber 17.—Aboug five months ago a boy numed lrvino Ritter, aged fifteon, disuppenred in o mystorious wanner frow his home at Manchester, Ind., und since that time his parents have circulated thousands of printed deseriptions of him One of the uumber reached the chief of the police here sowe time agy since which the ofticers have kept a sharp lookout for him, Thursdey atternoon a mun loolk- ing like a Western cow boy ap- doured hore in company with @ boy, and Oflicer bel who heard him imitating the notes of a cornet on o piece of paper i saloon, took him in charge aud locked him up.
