Sawyer of the Bond hotel, who is charged by Langdon Frothing- ham with appropriating £00 which did not belong to him. The great difficulty, how- ovor, is in proving that there was an actual easc of iarceny, as Sawyer insists that ho and Frothingham were in partnership. Hoad- mits that he appropriated the money, but says thathe used it n paying for the ex- penses of the hotel, Tt s alleged that Prof. Frothinghamw put in $00 with Sawyer last full to run, the hotel, but that this was all lost. The professor siys that ho afterward was inducod by Sawyer to let him have §200 and, in order w secure himself from further loss, he demanded and’ was allowed perinis- sion to take the money due him from the re- ceipts of the hotel after December 20.

It is recommended by a high 8tato official that if the watchmon must sleep while on duty that they bring their cots down in the lower halls.

The couple had beon married for a number of years, the husband being & well known Burlington engincer, He accused his wife of being guilty of criminal conduet with unuamed parties on three different occasions and of being cruel o bim. She did not ap- pear to defend, but the court found the first charges sustained. She was found guilty of beiug cruel to Clark and he got his divorce, The specific act of cruelty, he said, consisted of her mmwmr him_over the bea'one night, breaking one of his ribs. Jennio Finney asked for a divorce from her husband, Benjamin F'. Finney. The court found that Benjamin had failed to fulfill his marriage vows in that he cruelly deserted herand failed to furnish sufficient support.

B LOST IN A LAFEBOAT. Probable Fate of the Norton and Her Passengers and Crew, New Yorx, Feb, 18. —[Special Telegram to Tue Ber.]—There is now little hope that Captain Fraucis L Norton and those who sailed with him on the small steam lifeboat, 1, L. Norton, are alive. The Norton left Now London, Conn.,on November 24 for Toulon, France, and she has now been out eighty-five days days withouta word as to the fate of the vessel or her passengers. It was Captain Norton’s intention to touch at_the Azores for coal, but it s now definitely known tbat the Norton never reached that rt. The report that shewas sighted oft Gibraltar on Decomber 19, also proved to bo erroneous. There is now but a single ray of hope, and that is that some passing vessel bound to some distant out of the way port may have rescued Captain Norton and pas- sengers aud the crew of the lifeboat, = To this hope the relatives of the captain and the members of the Norton shipbuildiug and con- struction company, of which he was presi. dent, still cling. 'Mrs, Norton accompanied her husband, as did her niece, Miss Rickaby, The crew consisted of seven m Six Lives Lost at Sea, PrxsscoLs, Fla, Feb, 18.—The ltalian bark Nicolini reports having picked up on Junuary 30 six men in charge of the chief oficer of tho British bark Cavibou, abandoned in a sinking coudition. ‘Tho captain and six men left the ship in alite boat and bave not boen hoard rom.

Atis the Old One of Woman's Credulity | ing short v and Man's Perfidy. Detective Haze has been instrumental in assisting to unearth another story 1n which a | man's perfidy and crime and a woman’s credulity, love and shame constitute tielead- ng features, Last Sunday he received a dispatch from Keokul, Ia, asking if there was a girl in Omaha named Hulda Linstrum, She was living, so the message said, at 5 Burdett street. Later in the day a letter was received from the same parties in Keokuk in which it was explained that an infant had been found on a door step in Keokuk last Sunday morning with a note attached to its clothing signed “‘A broken hearted mother," and as o daughterof the gentleman where the child was found nhad left home almost a year ago and was wandering somewhere, supposed to be in Omaba, the parents natur- ally concluded that the soor girl had gone wrong and that the foundling was her child, 'I‘hur begged of the Omaba detectives to find out if possible where their daughter was, and 1f she had departed from the path of recti- tude or had become a mother. With these facts in hand, Detective Hazo made asearch for the girl but found she had ®one to Keokuk. He learned, however, that sho was a mother and had taken the babe with her. On Monday the young woman returned to Omahaand Detective Haze met_her and ob- tained a full confession of the sad and shame- ful facts. The girl said that she had been betrayed by a lover named Victor Carl- son, who induced ber to leave home and go to Burlington, where she worked a short time and then came to Omaba, ~ About the same time Carlson betrayed and rulned her he also ruined anofher girl named Johnson, in Burlington, Carlson was compelled to marry the Johnson girl, and then Miss Linstrum 1eft for Omaha, Ste lived fora time asa domestic on Park avenue and mlllfliorlbh Sixlm':ll;.h street, but on sepu»m':r she was obliged to apply Tor admission at the Open Door, whore ahe remained until February 13. The baby was born on October 26, 'Not knowing what todo or where to go, the girl said she de- cided to take the baby to her father’s house and leave it on tho door step. Last Saturday sho took the train for Keokuk, arriving thero late at night. She walked the streets awhile, and then concealed herself in the back yard of her old home and waited for the approach of day. At 4a. m.she placedthe babe on the front” step, rapped loudly several times, and then sped away to the depot and took the early morning train for Omaha. She resumed her duties as helper i the res- taurant at 1515 Burt street. "The girl wept profusely while tatking to Detective Haze, and said she would like to £o home, where she could seo her baby, ‘which she loves very fondly. The girl's parents are highly respectable and are very desirous of having their way- ward daughiter return to the parental roof, Lvlu-resha and the baby may have a good ome. She says that Carlson lived but a few weoks with thegiri he was compelled to marry, and then departed for parts to her unknown, R ——— Marched to Jail by His Father.

There was a bandying of hot words fn tho county commissioners' room yesterday after- noon. There was also a disclosure, Garbage Master Morrissoy ana Lazarus, the cesspool cleaner, camo in lookmg for Poormaster Mahoney. They said they heard that Manoney had been punching holes in the county poor farm cesspool, thus leitg the contents run out over the county, The call- ors also implied that by so doing Mr. Ma- loney was monkeying them out of money that they should be earuing, Mahoiey finally dropped in, and after a swift all-round diseussion of the mafter ho asked Morrissey what he had been charging up o the county for cortain work out at tho | poor farm. It scems t 8 cesspool some distance from tne building became filled up the other day and the poormaster notified Morrissey to bave it emptied. ‘The contents was simply @ lov of refuse water, which Mahoney ‘thought didn’t amount to much and could_be huuled awayin three or four wagon loads. Morrissey's reply to Mahoney's question as to how much of a bill he had to present for the job almost paralyzed the lat- e were ninety-five loads of it,” said ssoy, “and the charge is 85 a load.” “Good Lord! What's that you say!” ex- claimed Mahoney, as he gasped hard for | breath. Morrissey repeated the figures, slowly and with emphasis. Well, you'll never got it—let me tell you that, right here and now!' said Mahon hotly. *Such a charge as that is the wors outrage 1 ever heard of. How could you haul ninety-five loads of water away to the river in four nights and one day, and mnot commence until § o’clock at night! How far did you haul it was hanled just over the railroad tracks out there, and dumped.” “'Oh, ho! You took it only thirty or forty feet, did you! You charged a load for hauling water not over forty feet, did yout The orMoance says you must haul cesspesl slops to and damp them in the river, but then where aid fi'uu find ninety-five loads “Right there in that cesspool,” was the re- ply, “T doubt it, and let me tell you again that you are badly fooled if you think you can #et the county commissioners to pay you any such !)Hca or amount us you have unamed, Four hundred and seventy-five dollars for four nignts’ and one day's work ! “Well, what will you have to say about it ~—you're not a member of the county board (' “You'll find I'llhavea good deal to say about it—enough to keep you from robbing the county in thatsort of way. You must toink everybody's a fool around here ! “Well, you cin bet your life I will have it —there's a city ordinance which specifies what I can charge,”” and the garbage master and his companion withdrew from the com- bat. s — The Profits of Insurance. Oxana, Neb., Feb. 18.—To the Editor of Tue Bre: Inoticed in Tue Ber an editorial proposing legislation for the reduction of the profits of insurance companies and quoting | tios from | from this s These figures are necessarily incomplete and the percemtages given show only the proportion of losses paid, to gross premium receipts. You reason that because the losses as reported by all cowpanies for last year average 57 por cent of the receipts, the other 43 per cent is profit, without stopping to con- sider the really most important feature of the business, viz; the item of expense, This item includes commissions paid to agents, salaries of officers and others, traveling expenses and otber incidentals and will average very nearly 40 per cent of gross receipts; in fact, the experience of many companies shiow it to be much more than that. Here, then, we have a loss and ex- pense ratio of 47 per cent, to say nothing of owier sources of loss, such as defaulting agents and uncollectiblo premiums, resulting from a variety of causos. It will thus bo scon that tho margins for profit, in_compuri- son with the risk taken, is very small; smaller, we will venture to state, than that of any private business in which so much capi- tal is staked and so much energy and ability expended. Look at the number of companies that are forced to withdraw from the field every year for the very reason that rates are inadequate and being unable to securo a paying business either reinsure and retire or fail al- together. Would such results be possible if the profits were anything like what you have intimated ¢ It is true that the successful com- panies increase their assets and surplus year by year but that is easily accounted for when itis understood that their cesh capital is in- vested in mort e securi- venue is derived and ally, the dividends (if any) are p of 'time prevents a ref- erénca to other powts called to mind by tho article mentioned, but we may discuss them hereafter, I merely wished to correct an erroneous impression beld by persons who ought to kuow the whole truth, for in no business is pure philanthropy more apparent than in that ofinsurance, FAIRPIAY, THE LOYAL EGLON, The Omaha Commandery Will Attend General Sherma Faneral, Thero was a large attendance of the mem- bers of the Nebraska Loyal Legion yesterday afternoon at the Millard hotel.
