MISUSING THEIR CERTIFICATES, Legislative Action Needed—A Little Tilt With the Standard Oil Com-« pany—lowa Coal Business— Northwestern League, Snide Insurance Companies. i, la., July 10.—|Special K.|—~What shall be done to protect the people against the snide insur- Ance companies, is the very practical ques- tion which State Auditor Lyons, who has charge of the insurance department of this state. is asking. In his investigations in preparing his annual report, he has had his attention foreibly drawn to the fact that some lowh so.called insurance men had been doing an underground business that has brought the state into very ill repute, The defunct Monarch Insurance company was run by men of this class, and the auditor comments very severely on the reckless way in which its affairs uave been managed. The trouble heretofore, scems to have been that these underground fel- Jows would secure certificates from the stute officials authorizing them to to business in lowa. Then they would go Into other states, and producing their cre- dentials as certificates of character, proceed o fleece the people there without merey. ‘T'o rover such cases, the auditor recommends that the legislature pass a law refusing any Jowa insurance company a certificate of sol- vency, if it does business in other states, and does not eonform to the insurance laws and regulations of that state. The suggestion is timely and will probably be favorably re- ceived by the next legislature, THE I0WA OIL TEST. The state board of health includes in the £eope of its observation, the oversight of the oils burned In lowa, Just now the board is having a little tilt with the Standard Oil company over the quality of the oil burned on lowa railro: ‘The board insists on an oil that will stand a 300 dexree test when measured by the test cup in use in this state, ‘The chemist for the company declares that a sample of oil which he furnishes is up to test, but his cup is not the same as that of the rond. In fact the [own test is a little higher than that of almost any other state, and the company begins to think the board is over particular. But it is better to err on the right ide, and the right side in this case happens to be the safe side. So the lowa test will stand, and the public need not fear any oil explosions on Towa trains. THE COAL BUSINESS, Although in comparatively dull times for the coal miners, the reports of mine inspec- tors show that there 1s a good deal of work now going on in Jowa mines. Inspector Stout, whose district (No. 8) 15 1n northeast- ern Jowa, savs that there are in it 131 mines, employing 8,851 miners, with an annual out- put of 900,741 tons. Commissioner Smith re- ports that in his district (No. 2) there are 96 mines, employing 4.5% men, with an_output of 1,658, tons. In Dubuque, Clayton and Allamakee counties there are about 100 open- Ings—lead and zinc mines generally—worked upon the co-operative plan with no outside ssistance. NAMES OF RATLROAD STATTONS, ‘The railroad commissioners have many in- teresting questions to settle, and one of the last we learn is that relating to names of sta- tions. 1In Sioux county there is a town by the name of Pattersonvilie, and the railroad running throngh the place took the liberty of ehlnuln‘{'uw name (n their business deal- Ings to Winson, To add to the implications the postofiice ithorities changed the name Jo Hull. The people have finally agreead pon that name but the railroad still sticks to the old one, and so the honorable com- anissioners are petitioned to_compel the rail- xoad to use the name ot Hull.

N e An Indian Murdered. ATAXKA, L. T., July 10.—Kanmotuloly, an old full-blood Choctaw Indian, was mur- dered on his ranch by unknown parties near here, He was one of the richest Indians in he territory, being possessed of large herds of cattle, besides some money. 1t was for his money he was murdered, but the assas- ins, two white men and an an, failed to nd it.

Almost Total Destruction of Pomy & Segelke's Factory. Yesterday morning at 8:20 o'clock the magnificent mineral water manufactory of Pomy & Segelke, on South Tenth street, was discovered to be on fire. On the corner of Mason and Tenth streets is a fire alarm box. To this, a man named Munday, living on the latter thorough- fare, almost opposite the burning build- ing, ran to sound the alarm. He had been aroused by the flames and made his run in the hubifments in which he had been taking his nocturnal slumbers. The box in question adjoins a grocery kept by F. W. 8unth, The latter, it is claimed, took Munday for a burglar when he called for the key of the alarm box, and later told him he did not have the key. By this time the factory was en- veloped i1n flames, & number of minutes having been lost in the fruitless effort to send in the alarm from a point scarcely a block distant from the scene of the contlagration, Finally somebody ran to the depot, tele- phoned No. 3 engine house, and from there an alarm was sounded for box seventeen, that at the corner above men- tioned. The fire department responded as quickly as could have been expected under the circumstances, and when the companies reached the s the building was alread The flames burned with intensity, vet, notwithstanding their fierceness, by he- roic efforts of Pomy & Segelke’s hands and sympathetic friends fifteen horses, which were stabled in the basement, were saved, The roof, the floors, the machinery were all' destroyed, to- gether with nearly everything in the way of stock w was in th building. The oflice alone was pr ved 1n a semi-decent condi- tion compared with the rest of the fac- tory. In this was the safe of the firm, which contained all the books, which were uninjured. The front of the build- ing is a wreck and will have to be torn down. The arches over all the windows are threatening to fall, and in several parts the face is badly eracked. The other walls are in some places cracked, yetitis not known whether they will stand rebuilding. When the hos t arrived on _the scene, the pressure of the water was lamentably weak, many of the spectators claiming it was insuflicient to force the water up to the second story. Members of the fire department say that it was not as strong 1t should have been. This 1s perhaps accounted for by the altitude of the location, as also by the fact that the grading being carried on immediately south of the factory required the taking up of a pipe which would have given a more satisfactory flow. Pomy & Segelke's loss will not be far from $25,000, when rything is taken into consideration. They are insured as follows: Hanover, $12,000; Nebraska and Iowa, $2,000; Lin. coln, $1,500; Sun of San Francisco, $1,500; rman, Peoria, $2,200; Mercantile and Marine, $2,200, and Farragut, New York, £1,500. The cause of the fire 1s unknown. There was no fire in the furnace, and the mdf,zh! before the place had been flooded with water in the weekly cleans- g which was given to the floors. Pomy & Segelke's factory was the finest ‘and most complete one of the kind in the western coun- try. It contained all the latest improvements and was the direct resuit of the diligent labor by two earncst Omahans, who have grown into wealth with the city. It was opened but a little more than a year ago, and the firm have the sympathy of hundreds of friends in this city and neighborhood. The tirm, however, will not be discouraged by their loss, They will rebuild as soon as possi- ble, and in the meantime will serve their customers as usual, having alreaay made arrangements to that end, SLASHED‘“’IT!TA KNIFE, A Rowin Which a Waiter is Seri- ously Cat. About 5:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon two waiters employed at Smith's famous restaurant, on Eleventh street near Har- ney, became involved in an altercation in the kitchen of the establishment. D. W. Warner, familiarly known as “Dyna- mite,” a young man about twenty-two years of age, was seriously cut across the face by another waiter named Har- vey Love.” William Ross, a third em- ploye, was cut across the hand by Love, in his effort to stop the row. Love had been drinking and the assault on Ross was made when the latter had a tray full of dishes in his hands. The weapon used was & butcher knife with & two inch blade, and the slarh across Ross' face extended from the forehead down between the eyes, across the nose and also the cheek.” Love ran out the back way and escaped through the alley. Ross was taken home in a cab and his® wounds dressed. At 8 o'ciock this afternoon Love had not been ar- rested. FIRED OFF HIS GUN, A Beligerent Individual Shoots at an Oyster Cook. There was a wave of excitementon the southwest carner of Twelfth and Douglas streets at midnight last night occasioned by the reckless firing by J. P. Pal- wvier of his revolver at the person of Charles Townsend, The men quarrelled over & wateh, which it scems Palmer had lost, and which ne intimated Townsend knew something about. Palmer fired two shots at Townsend, and was in the act of firing the third when Officer Bloom, who was near by rushed up and arrested the shooter. Palmer is employed in Hospe’s art store on Douglas streot. Townsend is_oyster cook in Higgins' restaurant, He' disappeared 1n the res- taurant on the arrival of the officer, and of course could not be found when searched for, A Circus Row. The employes of Howe's circus, the tents of which are pitched on North Eighteenth street, engaged mm a row among themselves yesterday afternoon. The police were sent for, but by the time the patrol wagon reached the ‘scene the row was at an end, and of course no one about the tent knew anything about it. Used Brass Knucks. John Mills and Mike Cunningham quarreled in front of the Umon Pacitic house on South Tenth street yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock. The bellig- erants pummelled each other with brass knucks and succeeded in getung them- selves locked up. e ———— Falso Pretenses. H, C. Foster was arrested yesterday for obtaining money under false pretenses. Foster, it seems, had been working on improvements and sold his time to two ‘l\Txl" named Charles Larson and Alex lier. i Injured.

Cinemnati Enquirer: I President Cleveland has pardoned m Ballard from the Albany prison,” said Detective llill* en yesterday, “‘Yes,"” remarked an Enquirer reporter, to whom this remurk was made, *‘How did 1t come about?" “'Oh, there js a_ universal opinion among those acquainted with the case that Tom has got enough. and that he has reformed. — He is broken down and his mind 1s fast giving way. President Cleveland simply eu? sed the applica- tion for his release. ‘'I'om was by all odds the most brilliant counterfeiter that ever bothered the detectives. Although much broken down, he is still a young man, though old in crime, He was born in 1840, and before he was twenty went to work with his father at Washington, D.C., as a carriage painter. Through the influence of his employer, a man named Hinman, he became " acquainted with Josh Miner, a rich contractor, who, while n|v|vuremfv carrying on a legiti- mate business, was really the banker and friend of every counterfeiter of note in the country. ~ Miner sent him to New York city "to learn to become an en- graver, and in course of time he became a very expert workman. Then under Miner’ patronage he began to engrave plates for counterfeit bills. Ballard's first work was a plate for §1 greenback; then foilowed $2 on the Shoe and Leather bank in New York; then came plates for $10 bills of three national banks 1n Poughkeepsie; $20 Shoe and Leather bi and plates for printing £100 and $500 treasury uotes. Ballard married an estimable woman “The president refers to he t in his in- dorsement, 1 believe,” rem: arked the re- he makes a very graceful refer- ence to her,” said the " detective. “For he supposed that Tom was a re- carriage -painter, working mn s shop. Ballard never drank or smoked, he was perfectly regular in his hour and fond of his wife. Her suspic- ions were never aroused till the detes tives got after him. ery morning he left nis house, 225 West Fifty-third street, New York, ostensibly for Hinman's shop, but instead he went to 250 Irvington street, whare the counterfeit money was made. Here he shut himself up "in his room and staid there till toward night. On Irvington street, in New York, he was understood to be a night watchman in the custom house, who, of cour: ppt all day and went to work as evening approachea. Ho led this douvle life for years without being suspected by his friends, but was finally run down by de- tectives and arrested. " He escaped from the Ludlow street jail at New York, was a fugitive from justice for three years,and was again arrested in August, 1874, and a large stock of plates, presses, ink, coun- terfeiters’ tools and counterfeit money captured with him. He escaped again, and in October of the same year was again taken in the western part” of New Cork, Inthe three months or less he had engraved a full set of plates, made a fresh stock of paper, coll a'full out- fit of counterfeiting materials and got a good deal of money printed. He had also nearly completed the plate for the face of a Canadian 85 bill, which was pro- nounced at the treasury one of the finest pieces of engraving ever done. Tom was tried in January, 1575,and sentenced to thirty years' imprisonment, of which }loxlfms now served about eleven and a half." “He was an expert, then?® “‘Yes, he was supposed to be one of the most expert counterfeiters in the country. He has now been in prison equivalent to more than fifteen ycurs, allowing the de- duction he had secured for good beha- vior. He has grown to be an old man, broken down physically and mentally. His conduct has been such as to cause much 1nterest to be felt in his case by good citizens and_oflicials concerned in his conviction. His wife, who has clun to him with a true woman’s devotion a these years, and who has almost worn herself out in her efforts to supvort and educate her daughter, just now reaching womanhood, pleaded’ for her erring and penitent husband’s release, and this has had o great deal to do with the president signing the applieation. ™ “‘What was his great forte?” asked the reporter. “Tom Ballard was the only person wh ever successfully imitated the fiber naper on which government notes are printed, but he made it perfectly. He could also imitate the scroll work, which is done in the government engraving bureau by the fumous geometric lathe, 80 perfectly that it could not be detected by expertsand by a microscope, His $500 bill was his most famous work. It was so perfect thattwo of them were redecemed by the treasury oflicials themselves, and one was taken at the sub-treasury in Chicago. Theonly flaw in it was in a button on the coat of John Quincy Adams, at theleft hand end of the bill. This button was not exactly round, but was so nearly so that no one would notice it if he were not looking for it. Itis saia that only twenty of these bills_ were ever put in circulation, coun- terfeiters being afraid of them becaunse their denomination was so large. Itis also said that Tom became afraid of the I.lnlen, and finally dropped them over- hoard from a ferry boat while crossing the Hudson river. sl A BRIDAL COUPLE'S TBAVELS. They Return from a Honeymoon Trip to Prosecute a Pullman Porter for Denver Republican, July 9: Among the passengers who arrived in Denver on a kansus Pacific train on the morning of June 15 were Mr. and Mrs. Morris Sicher, af Slater, Missouri. They were a bridal couple who only a few days previous had stood before the altar. Immediately after the ceremony the happy. couple left on their honeymoon trip for Cahforma, Their trip was a happy one until the evening before they resched Denver, when it was marred by a distress- in, occurrence. previous to re- tiring the newly-made husband removed from the pocket ot his panta. loons two pocket-books. One contained drafts for & large amount and the other $060 in greenbacks were tightly rolled to- gether. It was the purpose of the hus- band to depoait his valuables beneath his bride's pillow, where no vandal vandal hand would dare intrude, Mrs. Sicher also unfastoned a handsome diamond brooch—a bridal gift—and asked her hus- band to place it with his money beneath her pillow. He did so, and soon the rumbling of the Pullman wheels, as the train sped over the plains, wooed the haj Missourians to slumber. &hile Mr. and Mrs. Sicher were dis- enssing the disposition of their valuables before retiring they were unconscious of being overbeard by other cars. Yet it was 80. The listener was C. K. Sawyer, the colored porter with shi li"f brass buttons. He had heard the pocketbook conversation and the nririt af temptation possessed him. He evidently thought how charming a certain little yellow girl in Denver would look adorned with a $100 diamond breastpin. Heresolved to snatch the “'shiner,” and it is alleged that he did. His little sleight-of-hand . trick was so lightly played that the slumbering couple were not awakened, In the early morning the theft was dis- coveled, and immediately there was & scene in the car. The porter was col- lared, and was requested to rustle for the lost valusbles. He made a valiant at- | temdt, but it resulted in nothing. . Three. hours later the bridal couple arrived in Denver and at onve ! proceeded to the office of Superintehdent Rundall of the Pullman Palace Car company. They ex- plained their loss and asked for assist- ance. Superintendent Randall readily gave it, and at once laid the case before Manager Farley of Thiel Detective . Afrency. Later he questioned Sawyef, “the colored por- ter, who stouily denied any knowledge of the money or thé' diamond brooch. Unbeknown "to hln%.a watch was Lmt upon his tracks. Mr. and Mrs. Sicher waited in Denver twminas and then pro- ceeded to Califorflal Soon afterward Sawyer was (oum} on the street and taken to the Pullmdp éffice and searched. On him was found the $60, but no trace of the diasmond pin. He was at once taken to the county jail, Yesterday Mr. and Mrs. Sichor re- turned from the Pacific coast. Sawyer was arraigned before Justice Cherry and they appeared against him. After hear- ing the evidence Judge Cherry held the accused in the sum of $500, and he was again placed in jail. Mr. and Mrs. "Sicher will leave morning for their home at Slater, They will return to Denver in the and will prosecute the lpurtm‘. Detective Farley feols confident that by that tuue the diamond pin will have been unearthed. ———— HE MET KILLEN. Ambitious Englishman Wanted a Littie Sparring. The following good story, says the St. Paul Globe, is told of an Enghshman who is summering in the neighborhood of Killen's training _headquarters at In- dependence Lake, Minn, Tl ay that Killen, Moulton and Seelye arrived the Englishman sauntered u]u tu the party and inquired for Mr, Killen, Moulton referred him to Pat himself, saying: “That is Mr. Killen's trainer.” = Pat caught on_to the joke atonce and toid him that Killen had not got there yet,but they expected him the next d: T Englishman, who 1s quite iovial good fellow, was soon fri everybody, and was invited to m self “at_home, which he did. Gotting Moulton to one side he inquired: *‘Hi say, Mr. Moulton, can Mr. Jack box a bit?” Moulton replied that he could do alittle at it, but not much; and, ;_'i\’m% Seelye the wink, proposed that he and Jack (the name they given Killen) should raround or two. “Oh, do, Mr. Seelye; Hi would be delighted you know, 'pon my honor I should.” Jack was agreeable, and he and Seelye were soon at it with big eight-ounce” gloves. Killen played the greehhorn to perfec- ion, Seelye winding up by knocking him The Englishman was greatly od, and proposed to Moulton to Jack to put them on with “E's a hvely fellow, 'e is, but Hi thiak Hi can show 'im a thing or two.! Moulton lovked him over and he certainly appeared robust enough, being a man of about one hundred and eighty- five pounds weight. ““What do _you say, Jack? inquired Moulton; *‘will Jou try a round with Mr, —+*' *'I don’t know," said Killen; *‘he migfit'be too much for me.” “Oh, come hon; ‘L»un my word Hi won't hurt you, you know.

The kng- lishman rushed at him like a ln|lluu;iE fighting him with both hands. Jack tool matters very eas t the opening came, his left described a semi-circle, catching the Englshman on the chin and knocking him down and worse— out. It touk nearly half an hour for him to recover, when Jack proposed another round. *“No you don't. Hive 'ad plenty,” ejaculated the Englishinan, who wu pale as a ghost. Jack then propo: that he put them on with one of the ladies who was present, but he declined with thanks. Later on he dinquired: *‘Isay, Juck, will you kindiy tell me you last man?” Jack inreply presented his card: llen, St. James hotel, Minnea- The Englishmen was thunder- , but arprwiuwi the joke which he brought on himself, and now declares that Killen can whip Sullivan. e e A CENTENARIAN PARROT.
