NOTES.
The government tug Anna did some
service by 'throwing a stream or two on
sheds from the bay side, but she did not
do such work as 'would be expected of a
first class fire boat.
A small steam ya, flit which was tied up
in the slip -ait the foot of 28th street burned
and sank. She was owned by Mr. Davey.
One bad effect of the fire will be to
keep away 'temporarily at least a big
Pensacola fish concern which had rented
a shed at the foot of 27th street to Carry
on an extensive fish business. The shed
was burned and the move is now tempor-
arily off.

He Will Support a Free Silver Demo-
cratic Ticket.
Denver, Colo., July 2.—Senator Teller
will go to his mountain home at Central
City, Col'o., for a week -or two, to. recup-
erate. During the campaign he will deliver
a number of speeches in the interest of
the silver ticket in Illinois, Indiana,
probably Ohio, 'and several other eastern
states and California.
“Just now it looks as if Bland or Boies
were in the lead, with Bland a little
ahead,” said Senator Teller today, when
asked regarding the situation at Chicago.
“I believe the Demo'craitic party will de-
clare for .silver at 16 to 1. The silver peo-
ple are too much in earnest to allow a
straddle. I do- not think the gold Demo-
crats will bolt the convention, but they
will knife the ticket at the polls. The gold
forces of the country will be a unit in
November.”
“What would you advise -should 'the
Democratic party declare unequivocally
for 'silver?” was asked.
“I would advise all silver forces to- sup-
port it, for that is the only way we can
win,” he answered. “We must meet the
enemy 'with a solid front. I believe if the
silver forces unite, and there is a genuine
silver ticket in the field on a straight sil-
ver platform^ we will succeed this No-
vember. Silver is gaining strength with
amazing rapidity in all of the country, and
I am -sure it will continue to- grow from
now -on. It is the only subject discussed,
and the more it is discussed the more ad-
herents it will gain. The tariff has been
■relegated, and the battle wlil be -on the
financial question.”

Brave Captain Cock.
A terrible trial came for the packets on
the outbreak of the American war in 1812.
The French privateers, well found though
they* were and manned with desperate men,
were child’s play to the American, which
were twice as powerful and manned by
English deserters. Where English frigates
were overmatched, it is hardly surprising
that the little packets should have gone to
the wall. And yet they fought even
against overwhelming odds with a desper-
ate courage and an obstinacy remarkable
even among British seamen. Captain
Cock, in the Townsend, with a crew of 32
men and four passengers, fought against
two American privateers simultaneously
for more than three hours before he would
consent to surrender.
Each of his assailants was superior to
him singly in strength, and the two car-
ried together nearly five times his weight
of metal and seven times his strength of
men. Yet even when they had battered
the packet into a wreck, when half its
crew was in the surgeon’s hands and when
she was actually in a sinking state, Cock
only with 4 -at reluctance hauled down
his colors. He had repelled countless at-
tempts to board, and it was hard to have
to yield to sheer weight of metal.
Townsend was so heavily shattered that
the Americans, finding her not worth
keeping, restored her for a small sum to
her captain, who duly brought her into her
destination, though without the mail for
which he had struggled so gallantly. Cock
lived to fight two or three more actions be-
fore he died, worn out th wounds and
hard work. His name should be remem-
bered at the postofilce, for no man ever
made a nobler fight for his mail.—Liao-

Insurance—-Bond—(Stipulation.—-The su-
preme court of Georgia ‘held, in the re-
cent case of Dorsey, receiver, vs. Fidelity
and Casualty company of New York, that
where a fidelity insurance 'company by Its
bond covenanted with a receiver engaged
in -operating a railroad that, during the
continuance in force of such bond, certain
specified employes of the receiver should
“faithfully and honestly discharge their
duties, in their several capacities, and
-shall also faithfully and truly account
for all moneys and property in their re-
spective employments, whenever thereto
required -by the employer, or a duly au-
thorized officer in that behalf, and at the
termination of their said employments
shall surrender and deliver up to the em-
ployer, or a duly authorized representa-
tive, all moneys, books, vouchers, papers,
-tickets and all other -property belonging
to the employer, or for 'which -the em-
ployer shall be liable to another, or other
party or parties, which shall then be, or
which ought t-o be, in t'he hands, posses-
sion or custody of the employes, or either
of them, and the company hereby indem-
nifies t'he employer against all loss which
the employer -shall sustain 'by reason of
the default of any or either of the em-
ployes in the premises, not -exceeding in
the whole the sum or sums as hereinafter
provided,” the insurance company was
not liable to the insured in damages for a.
loss resulting from a wrongful delivery of
freight by one of these employes, in con-
sequence of which the receiver was com-
pelled to pay the value -of such freight to
its true owner, the -wrongful delivery hav-
ing occurred 'before the bond -was exe-
cuted. The court said that this was so,
notwithstanding that the employe,, at the
termination of his employment, though
liable so to do, failed and refused to pay
the -receiver the damages which the latter
had sustained because -of -such wrongful
delivery.
Insura nce—Life Tenant—dnde'mnity.—
The Massachusetts supreme court held,
in the recent case of Harrison vs. Pep-
per, that a life tenant is not bound in law
to insure the premises for the benefit of
the remainderman. This was a bill in
equity by a remainedrman under a will
to -have the defendant, the life tenant,
ordered to hold the proceeds of an insur-
ance policy, which was payable tp herself,
in trust for plaintiff, until defendant died,
the income to be payable to Iter until that
event 'happened. TRe policy of insurance
was taken out by the life tenant, and the
house upon which it wqs placed -was- a
total loss. The court hfld that it could
make no difference in faypr of the plaint-
iff; that the amount of indemnity to de-
fendant was more than .her interest, nor
could defendant be converted into a trus-
tee for the plaintiff by t'he mere fact that
the amount which she received was equal
to the full value of the house which was
destroyed. The court also held that the
insurance money did not take the place of
the property 'which -was destroyed,-for
the reason that the- contract of insurance
is a personal contract, 'for the indemnity
of the insured.

thorized by act of congress, April 22, 1792,

NOTES.
Washington, D. C.—’Comptroller Eick-
les thinks the sound money men at Chi-
cago will be able to modify extreme silver
expressions. Concerning the probability
of a bolt, he said: “There would be a de-
fection at t'he polls which it would be im-
possible to prevent. The rank and file of
the party can not -be made to stand up
for the party name if the party convention
insists upon overturning all Democratic
precedents.”
Chicago, Hl.—Postmaster Hosing says:
“Altgeld will control the convention just
-as absolutely as he controlled the Peoria
convention. His pronouncements seem
to carry weight. (Senator Hill was per-
fectly satisfactory as a candidate for the
temporary 'chairmanship to the silver peo-
ple. Mr. Altgeld said ‘no’ and that set-
tled it. Within two days he has said that
the two-thirds rule on presidential nomi-
nations -should be abolished, and -it looks
as if he would carry his point. I believe
that we sound money people can better
conserve t'he people’s interest by letting
the silver people have all the rope' they
want -withiut interference. Then let us
meet and express our convictions and t'he
people at the polls ‘will take care of the
rest.”

Silver Democrats-Determined to Railroad
the AVhole Thing.
Springfield. Ill.. July 2.—Ilf the free sil-
ver leaders have their way the Chicago
convention will be -in session but one day.
They intend to make a vigorous effort to
carry this idea into effect, and that is one
reason why they are so determined to
have a free silver -man for temporary
chairman. They want a man who will
expedite business in a. manner that will
meet their -approval.
'Gov. Altgeld returned to iS-pringifield
from Chicago today, and it was he who
said the free silver men wanted a one
day convention. The governor expects
to return.to Chicago iSund-ay and will re-
main until after the convention.- In con-
versation with -a representative of the As-
sociated Press today Gov. Altgeld said
the advance guard of the free silver men
at Chicago are of one mind, and this is
that a short convention was imperative
to the good of the cause.
“We will have control of the conven-
tion,” he said, “and we think it to our best
interest -to wind up the business of the
convention in -one day. The single stand-
ard men will, of course, fight for delay.
They have no hope -of controlling the
convention, but it is their desire to pro-
crastinate. They want to divert the plat-
form from a straight 16 to 1 silver basis
to some sort of muddled compromise. But
the free silver men are- in the majority
and will run the convention. They will
never permit the small minority to dic-
tate terms.”
As to the position of temporary or per-
manent chairman the governor -said he
did not want either, tout knew both posi-
tions would'!be filled by men acceptable
to free silver Democrats. In -regard to the
presidential nominee he said be had no
preference. It was too soon yet to fix upon,
a man. There were not enough delegates'
in Chicago to determine upon'any one.
The -chief object now was to see to -it
that the rights of the majority were not
interfered -with by Wall street gold.

Silver Men Will Control the Convention
or Raise a Row.
Chicago, !□., July 2.—T'he arrival ,of
Chairman Harrity and the meeting of
the executive committee of the national
Democratic icommittee are the first events
since the arrival of the silver men and
the meeting -of the Illinois delegates to re-
mind the people that the -national conven-
tion is about to be heid here. Reports to
the -executive committee indicate that pre-
liminary arrangements in connection
with the convention hall and the supply
of necessary adjuncts have been about
completed, and that in these respects
preparations will be concluded in ample
time for the opening next Tuesday.
;So far as the work of the convention it-
self is concerned -.he situation is very
chaotic. But one thing has been made
clear and that is that the silver faction
will 'be in a majority, but whether they
will be able to assert their majority on
the, temporary organization, whether
they will have the necessary two-thirds
to nominate their candidates, and in case
they have not whether they will abrogate
the twoJthirds rule or whom they will
nominate are questions which are still
in the air and which must depend for
their solution upon the future. The silver
men who have arrived .are a unit in their
determination to control the convention,
and to yield 'to no compromise, and events
so far as they have unfolded indicate if
there is any effort to thwart them in this
matter the convention will become the
scene of very exciting occurrences.
WILIL NOT BE HULL.
Chicago, Ill., July 2.—Neither Senator
David B. Hill nor Gov. Altgeld will be
temporary chairman of the Democratic
national convention. Gov. Altgeld this
morning settled that question for himself
by declaring the agitation in his favor
was a gold bug scheme to discredit the
silver movement, and silver leaders set-
tled the question as to Senator Hill by al-
most unanimously declaring that the tem-
porary organization must certainly be
controlled by the majority of the conven-
tion or else delay if not disaster to silver
plans might be the result In the perma-
nent organization.
The suggestion of Mr. Altgeld that the
convention can be made a one day affair
and s'hou'ld be so made by the controlling
element is not received with favor this
morning either by well known leaders
who are here or by friends of -candidates.
Senator Bl-ack'burn of Kentucky says:
“While I don’t suggest or -approve delay,
I am utterly opposed to any gag law or
rushing. Let this convention be one
marked by fairness. Let us give every-
body a fair hearing and then act accord-
ing to our best judgment.”
Asked what his views were about mak-
ing Senator Hill of New York chairman
he said: “(Senator Hill is allied with the
gold forces, and it would be a roundabout
way of procedure for us to turn over to
a minority of the convention its organiza-
tion. It is not to be supposed that a ma-
jority are going to jeopardize their own
work and chances. The silver men will
wield the gavel, you may depend upon
that.”
Insurance — Application—Rescission.—
In t'he recent case of 'Crutchfield vs. Daily,
the supreme court of Georgia held that
no consideration is essential to the rescis-
sion of a -simple .executory contract—that
is, one which has not boon a-cted upon—-
other than a mutual agreement of the
parties that -it shall no longer bind either
of them, the consideration on t'he part of
each being the other’s renunciation; that,
therefore, if a written application for a
life insurance policy and a prbmissory
note for -the first premium thereon were
delivered to -an agent of the insurance
company and by him forwarded to the
company, but before the latter had acted
upon t'he application it was mutually
agreed between the applicant and the
agent -that the note .-should be recalled and
returned to the applicant, and that “the
affair 'will stop just where it is at, there
will be nothing more of it,” this of itself
would be sufficient to constitute a .lawful
rescission, and it was error to charge in
effect that a rescission could, not be had
under these circumstances unless based
upon a valuable consideration; and that,
on the trial of an action upon such note,
a policy of insurance alleged to have been
issued in pursuance of the application
above mentioned -was not admissible in
evidence -without proof of its execution,
and it was not sufficient for this .purpose
merely to prove by a sub-agent of the
company that he had received such a pol-

“Mr. Barker, if nominated by the

straight bimetallic platform would cer-
tainly b-e elected. I have talked with
prominent men from -different sections of
the country, men of all shades of politi-
cal belief, and I firmly believe that Mr.
Barker would be elected. I have been in
close touch with the manuf-aicturers, and
t-ell you they want bimetallism. I think
Mr. Blanker will secure the nomination.
We have information to- the -effect that
the 1-eaiding silver men look kindly upon

the man destined by the Almighty to lead
us out -of the wilderness, and I shall sup-
pert him for the presidency in every p-ois-

Trade Name—Injunction.—The Ken-
tucky count of appeals held, in the recent
case of Dewitt vs. Mathey et al., that the
plaintiff and his predecessors in business
having for more than 30 years conducted
a -saloon in a particular building, under
the name of “The S'araitoga,” and plaint-
tiff having purchased from his immediate
predecessors the right to rhe use of the
word “Saratoga,” as a business name, ti-
tle, trade mark, and brand for goods sol’d
under that name, he had -the righit upon
moving his business into another build-
ing. to continue the use of -the trade name
and trade mark, and in an action brought
by him, the chancellor properly enjoined
t.hie defendants, who had moved into the
build ing formerly occupied by the plain-
iff, from using the same-business title in
-conducting a like business, the name used
not being merely the nlame of a locality
or building where the business was trans-
acted.

THE PITTSTON DISASTER.
Probable that Half -the Bodies Will Never
Be Recovered.
Wilkesbarre, Pa., July 2.—There is prac-
tically nothing new in the situation at the
Twin Shaft in Pittston this morning. The
work of removing the debris is progress-
ing very slowly,owl ng to the immense
amount of solid rock that has fallen.
Much of last night wa,s spent by the -res-
cuers in straightening the stone wall that
■conducts ventilation in t'he shaft. The
bodies are about 700 feet from where the
rescuers are a-t work. It is -almost an as-
sured fact -the men will never be found
-alive. It may be a week or more before
they can be reached. Some of the best
known miners, in this region -say it is more
than probable that not half the bodies will
ever be recovered.

The Ex-Champion Ordered Everything
That Wag on the Hotel Menu.
Many stories are told of the prodigality
of John. L. Sullivan when he was the wor-
shiped of the sporting public, and this one
goes to prove that the truth lay in a ma-
jority. The tale is vouched for by Hugh
Coyle, the well known theatrical manager,
who was the advance agent of the combi-
nation of boxers which Al Smith took west
in 1886 with John L. as the attraction.
Coyle told the story to a party of plubmen.
One morning at the Baldwin hotel in
San Francisco Coyle yrent to call Sullivan.
He was invited to enter the three rooms
that John L. occupied and asked, to order
breakfast. The bell was touched, and a
French waiter responded.
“What you got for breakfast?” asked
Sullivan.
And before the waiter had a chance to
reply John ordered, ‘ ‘ Bring us some. ’ ’
“ Here is the menu, ’ ’ returned the waiter.
“Order be blanked,” said Sullivan.
“Bring us some breakfast. ”
“Here is the menu,” repeated the
Frenchman. “Youyvant what?’’
John L. snatched the card from the
waiter’s hand and began to get wrathful.
“You Frenchmen,” he growled in his
boot leg voice, “don’t know how to serve
an American. Bring us the whole busi-
ness—everything you got marked on this
thing. D ’yer understand? ’ ’
Going to the manager of the hotel, the
waiter related what had occurred. The
manager was not going to thwart the pur-
pose of such a good customer as J ohn L.
Sullivan, so he ordered the entire outfit
sent up. . j
There was a long delay. During it John
was raising high jinks in his bedroom at
having to wait so long for his morning
meat Coyle quieted, him as best he could,
and when four wailgrs finally appeared
with trays bearing the viands John was
pacified by the imposing procession.
“That’s the way to wait on an Ameri-
can,” grunted John, and then he sat down
and partook of something from every dish
that was placed on the five tables required
to hold the order. He seemed to enjoy ev-
erything he tasted, and when the feast was
over said he felt satisfied.
When Al Smith got his bill there was
an item for ” Breakfast, extra, §150,” in.it.

CLAIMING SALVAGE.
