She was | crossing the tracks and did not seem to | exercise the care that is necessary when traveling upon railroad tracks and was not looking for the approaching train. This fact noticed by the family of | James Miller and by Mr. Frisbie, both of whom live near by. | Mr. Frisble, who was nearly ready to | report at the pler for duty, remarked that | the woman would probably get into | | trouble, started down to the tracks. Just! | as he did so the woman started to cross | | the tracks, stumbied over a rail and fell, with her child in her arms, directly in | front of the approaching train. | Mr. Frisble jumped ‘for the fallen | woman and seized first the child and then the mother, dragging them out of danger just as the train swept by. | The baby was a little cut and bruised by | the fall and was taken by Mr. Miller's family and tenderly 'cared for. The | woman went to her own home. Later the | | rescuers declined to return the child to | the mother, alleging unfitness upon ber | part to care for it, and claiming that she 1 | was under the influence of liquor at the | time she fell in front of the train. The | child was turned over to Mrs. Lydia | Prescott.

Phinney of the State | of Washington against the Mutual Life | Insurance Company of New York to re- | cover upon a policy of insurance upon his life amounting to $100,000. Phinney had | paid- the first premium upon his policy {and had failed to pey the second and | third premiums, dying soon after the third premium was due. In the trial the contention was made that the statute of | New York requiring specific notice to the insured of the date when a premium js | due and the place where it could be paid | was applicable. The trial court ruled in accordance with this contention &nd the jury brought in a verdict against the in- surance company for $47, The Circait Court of Appeals for the ninth_circuit dis- missed the case on a technicality. The Supreme Court to-day declined the question of the applicability of the New York insurance laws to the case and dis- posed of it upon the ground that the Court of Appeals had jurisdiction. A new trial was ordered. The decision was in ! the interest of the insurance company. Several other insurance cases were de- cided dby Justice Brewer on the same ound. Rumors of a Fenian Plot.
