A novel insurance loss was paid yesterday that not onl.\ shows the liberality of the company that paid it. but that imij become valuable as a precedent. W. ( I. ICnepher , a crocerymnn , had an insurance policy of the National Mutual of this eity , covering his stock. A lire broke out in the cellar and the fire companies came and Hooded the cellar with leo cold water after smashing out the windows. After they put the lire out they went away and left the windows open and a pile of potatoes and squashes in the cellar froze. Judge . lames , president of the insur- unco company , concluded that the loss was duo to the lire and paid it , although it was the only damage done to the stock. The Limerick brothers , who are to have a hearing this morning on a charge of larceny , have been the occasion of much charitable eolieltudo on the part of a number of liberal pursed citizens. The elder Limerick came to this city from the cast several months ago , and with a largo family on his hands , awl without any work or means. The sympathy of Fourth ward neighbors was aroused con siderably. Subscriptions were made , the family furnished with clothing and food , and the man helped to work , for which ho seemed very ready.

CITIZENS ARE TIRING OF THE DELAY They Think the Time Itnn Co mo tor n Set- tlrmrnt , mid Are Dctlroui Hint tlio - C'n o IIo 1'iisliril A LAFKO Amount Involved. Why has not the city collected from the meter company Iho $ StKX ) duo for paving iho tracks at the street Intersccllonst Thai Is a conundrum asked by many citizens , and to which no very satisfactory answer can be found. Private cltl/ens with like claims have sued and got judgment , and yet the city's claim Is apparently not much nearer a settlement than It was four or live years at'o. at'o.City Attornov Hiuelton was asked aliout it yesterday. Ifcs.ildthal ho was willing to thke the restonsblit.v | ! ! on himself for any 'deln.VB thill had occurred since he had been hi oHloo. Tin1 case was sel for bearlnjr nl Ihe last term of court , but wa.s continued ou the mot Ion of the motor company. Since then it has been continued by nprccnicnt from time to Iliac and Is now sol for Ihe Mill. Mr. Hart-lion said further , that hu was under ho personal obligation to tin-motor company , not even to the extent - tent of a pist. : : Hi.-wanted It distinctly un derstood , also , that .ludtfo MHSeo of the sit- porlor court was not in any wni responsible for aii.v delays In the innlter. An.v attempt to throw the responsibility of delays upon Judfrc MeOico dors , in fact , seem nonsensical , because sim-o the petition was filed he has held llftecn terms of court , at any one of which the litigants could have pressed for a hearing if they had been very anxlnun to try the case.

In fact , hu did not , thlnU that any one was at fault , and expected that ere lonj ? the case would hi ! reached and tried , aii'l liuit it would llnalli result in the city's favor. The case Is now set for January li.

This , although a mere .technical quibble , Is very likely to necessitate the tiling of an amended potllion and a'nothcr coiilinuance. The citizens and taxpayers , however , are waking up lo Ihe siluation. and no less than nrrco committees have called on the mayor to (1ml ( oul what was being done , with a view to urging on the work of prosecution . If there is any further delay they will take it upon themselves to ascertain who Is at fault. New Hospital ( IIMi-cTrt.

To the Editor of Tim linn : In his decision of the Norton Krnso contest , .linlgo Maxwell seems to have overlooked very important historical data. When ex-Senator Sauntlcrs' bill to ' straighten the northern boundary of No braslm" became a law , March 28 , 1SS2 , it look a slice from Dakota territory north of the ICoyu Pnhu and Nioliraru rivers east to the Missouri river. The bill provided thai il should not become a part of Nebraska until the Indian title was extincl. At the special session of Iho legislature In May , IbSJ , the slnlo fulfilled its part by accepting this annexation. In 18TI1 Iho boundaries of Knox county wore- set apart with Hie pro vision that it should not take effect "until the president of the United Stales-.shall , by proclamation , declare the Indian lille to the unorganized territory transferred to Knox county by this net extinguished , and until tlio majority of Ihe legal voters of Knox county give their assent to the transfer of said unorganized territory in the manner provided by law , " which it did. ( Sec law of Nebraska. IbSI ) , page "J01. ) Holt county , however , failed to accept the transfer as re quired , leaving the only unorganized terri tory atlaclied .lo it a small piece between Ibo Niobrara and ICeya Palm rivers , known as Turtle precinct. Turtle precinct has always been a part of Nebraska , and there is no question as to Holt county's jurisdiction over that. Hut Boyd county forms a largo portion of terri tory that belonged to Dakota territory , ami not a purl of Nem-uslat until the president's proclamation issued October 'J ; ! , IfeK ( ) , which declared the Indian title oxtincl. Knox county bad a county division on hand that fall , and Niohrara's eiti/cns were very par ticular regarding that vote prior to the re- celpl of the president's proclamation , and it would never have been voted without it. As it was , the case which Niobrara espoused at that time was lost , continuing the county as it always has been and now is. School districts 87 and 88 are in Boyd county , numbered from Knox county dis trials in rotation , but were established by our j county superintendent , and these two dis tricts are included In the state npportlon- I incut from Knox , it being apparent that Holt , county never owned its new offspring , except - | cept Turtle precinct , which has always been i in Nebraska. By loouing at the old maps prior lo 1SS2 he Iruo boundary of Iho slale can be seen , the Hoyd county strip having been put in ifter the Saundcrs bill had passed , and one. is liable to forget how wo used to look. ED A. Fur. The new dramatic company under the di reution of George Wcssels opened with i matinee at the Wonderland and Bijou thea ler yeslorday afternoon. Mr. Wcssels es tablished himself in the estimation of the audience as all that had been claimed for lilin.

A glance at the panel of the grand and petit Juries discloses the fad that quite a number of the oldtliners have been thus drawn , bill whether for the purixiso of giving them an cnciiso for being on earth at this time or to help them out In the way of meeting current expenses can only be conjecturen. Certain It is that the Court has a way of convening and staying convened during a good portion of the legislative session , and the hangers-on manage to put In two hours In assisting the lobby for every one that Is occupied with court business. United Stales Marshal Slaughter , who arrived this morning , said that the grand Jury had been drawn from I mcaster county for the purpose of saving expense , and thought It very probable that some of Iho members of Iho lobby were in- eluded , although such a thing was , of course , unintentional.

Manner In Which Miinlti > l > n Settlers < ! i > t HrlpumtrH. "Not many years ago I was in the wholesale matchmaking business , " said an ex-olliccr of the army to a Washing ton Star reporter. "It was uiatchmak- intr of the matrimonial kind. At that time , in 187 ! ) and 1880 , Manitoba was being opened tosotllcment and thcru was a rush of colonials thither from Ontario and Quebec and from Great Britain. The settlers were mostly men. Some of them had families and would bond for them as soon as they pot somewhat fixed , but very many were bachelors. They were making homes for them selves , and naturally they found thai they needed wives. Not a few of thorn were sons of Entrlisli farmers and nearly ' "all wcro-respcotablo and hard-working fellows. "Ihey could no't afford to go and got wives , and so helpmeets bud to bo im ported for them. ; Yqung women , guar anteed ns to . respectability , were brought over from Kngland in great numbers , and this business rapidly grew to bo an important branch of Iho immigration tralllc. One philanthropic lad.v in F.ngland devoted her .attention toi'xpul'ting hombjess but worthy girls by the ship load to. Quebec , wtienco they were forwarded to Manitoba. Trains would coino inlo St. Boni face , across tlio river from Winnipeg , bringing two or three car loads of available wives at a lime. They were chaperoned will ) duo regard to propriety and were consigned to the land and mining agonls , where suitable quarters were provided for their temporary ac commodalicn. The accommodation was very temporary because they were soon disposed of. ' The settlers who were bachelors ap plied for the girls as fast as they were brought In. Their applica tions were not considered unless they were properly guaranteed as to charac ter and ability to support a wifo. Few of them came to Winnipeg from li shot-tor distance than 2oO miles. Most commonly they worn cortlllod by letters from land agwits staling lhat John Smith , for example , was located on suuh and such a tract of land , was the owner of 1COO horses , wiiHiiound and kind , and so forth. On making formal applica- llon for a wife John Smith was asked what sort of woman he pre ferred whether blonde or brunette , lall or short , plump or thin , etc. Hav ing slaled his preferences ho was inlro- ducod lo ono of the available ladies , whereupon matters were quickly ar ranged. A remarkable point was that no suitor had over to bo introduced to a second girl. Invariably ho was content with the Urstono and immediately mar- ied her. Apparently the men consid ered that when they had gone BO far as an introduction they had committe themselves irretrievaoly. ' In this way , by a process of artificial selection , myself and ether persons of ficially in charge at Winnipeg made matches by wholesale. The young women were given free transportation , of course , the object being to iimko homos'in Manitoba and thus secure the Eottlomont of the country. Incidentally the natural increase of the population was provided for. I remember ono man who drove over 700 miles to got a wife. IIo was prebont when a train load of girla arrived and spoiled the young woman ho wanted oil hand. Within seven minulcs after Iho train came in Iho pair were united in malrl- mony and tlio bridegroom started away with his bride in u buckbourd wagon. * ; On Ihu School .Mit'llIIIK.

A Shower of .MomU-r Mall-dour * < rrnr In Tcxm. The recent hall storm near Gay HH1 accurred about 4)0 : ! ) p. in. , Tuesday , nth Inst , , says the Galvcston News. About 2 p. in. heavy clouds appeared in the west and ns they slowly approached a roaring sound was heard , such as usu ally indicates a coming hall storm. Llghlnlng , accompanied by dlslani thunder , suggested an unusual storm. About six mites distant from my po.nl uf observation Iho clouds divided. A light-colored cloud passed from the inoro dense cloud townri ? the soullroasl , while the latter continued its course to ward the east. This cloud brought with it a deluge of rain , but far above it at a high altitude was another cloud of a pinkish cast , which moved also toward the cast. A few minutes after the rain com menced small hnilstoncs fell , and each moment larger ones foil than the pre ceding , until they re ached iho si/.o of small hen eggs. After falling for about fifteen minutes the hail and rain ceased for probably two minutes. Then it com menced again to rain heavily and con tinued for probably ten minutes , with a higher wind , and it was during this in terval that the wonderfully large hail stones fell. This remarkable hall fell in largo lumps , ranging from thrcu to six inches in diameter. 1 hoard of ono piece , eight inches in diamuler , which weighed four pounds. They woro'as a rule , spherical in form , but some were somewhat Hat , nnd nearly all woo : covered with oval knobs. Thay fell in small areas about two foot apart , while in ether places only ono would fall in a space ot Uvont.\ fool square. The average under my ob- sorvallon was abmt ono hailstone to every throe feet square. The earth wan thoroughly saturated with water , and some of the largo pieces ponotralud the ground in soft places about thrcu inches. I gathered about a bushel ot the larg est pieces after the rain ceased , and in a very little while I placed them In a sack , which I put in a box and picked hay around without special care. Some of the pieces I exhibited in Bronham , for the reason thai I preferred to give ocular demonstration in proof of the slatomonl I made in relation to the size of Iho hail. Aflor fqrty-lwo hours several of the pieces wore seven inches in circumfer ence. At this date ( eleven aays after it fell ) about a quart of the hail remains. Its donsily is so great thai I believe il will keep if you should wish a sample. A most remarkable fact in connection with these largo hailstones is thai some of thorn have particles of dirt in Iho conier. The question is : IIo\v \ did they got there ? . Shrcxvil SwliulliTH. The Posloflleodopartinenladmils lhat II is making no headway against the most important of all frauds which are conducted through the mail , namely , the "greon goods" business. In fact , this nefarious industry seems to bo grow ing rapidly.
