A Bluff's Invention.
Charles J. Itcckman , of this city , has
invented a locking bracket for fences ,
rail rods , etc. , which promises to make a
fortune for somebody. Every mechanic
who has examined the invention pro
nounces it ono which will almost revolutionize
tionize- the system ot fastening fence
rails , rods , and railings of all .sorts. It is
a very simple arrangement , and does
away with nails. While it holds rails in
place as lirnily as though of rock , yet any
part can readily ho removed or replaced.
The invention needs to bo soon and ex
plained to bo appreciated , it presenting
too many advantages to enumerate. Mr.
liockman has lived hero for years , ami is
an old soldier who carries an empty
slcoye , and it is to bo hoped that he will
roali/.o from this product of his inventive
genius a competency. Ho is planning to
secure capital with which to nianulac-
lure , and will soil some stale and county
rights , not being able to handle all the
territory himself. AH soon as this lock
ing bracket can bo placed on the market
there is no question but that it will meet
with a ready stlo : and come into general
use and favor. Like all worthy invon- ,
tioiis the hardest of the work is in secur
ing the iniblie attention. Ho is getting
in condition to do that" now , and the
outlook is u cheery one.

DKNISON , Fob. 83. Dr. M. Vcttor , the

a knife and was about to stab him , when
ho was observed by Chri.stonscn , the

ing -upon Christensen , Vottor made a
lunge at him , cutting his arm to the bone
and dibahling him for some time to come.

The Dnttlo of York.
Iii the circuil court yesterday there was
rather an amusing and sensational case
being heard before Judge Connor. The
parties concerned wore Aaron York and
Mrs. York , his wifo. It appears that they
have had considerable family trouble , and
at last they agreed to disagree. He owned
one farm of eighty acres , and another of
forty acres , located t near Macedonia.
The larger farm ho gave to his wife when
they separated. Ho was a school teacher ,
and taught in dilVerenl places in this1
county , and after the separation went to
Washington territory , where he taught
for a timo. While , there she got a divorce
from him on the ground of desertion.
The present contest is over the title to
the smaller farm , which the claims for
alimony , while ho resists , claiming that
lie lias given her all the property to which
she is entitled.
York un the witness stand , proved
rather a droll witness. He narrated
his matrimonial experiences in a slow ,
drairging sort , of way , and caused the
Binilo to go around the room often. He
declared that at ono time Ids wife hit him
over the head with a rolling pin ; at an
other time with a llatirou ; "M > that I was
hardly presentable : " she hit his thumb ho
said , so hard that Mie cracked one of bur
false teeth ; one time ho tipped the table ,
and knocked oil * ono or two plates , break
ing them , and she wont oil'to the store
and bought 0 worth of dishes and had
them charged to him. She was ot tin ar
gumentative turn of mind , and when she
got a little the worst of it she would hop
on to him.
The troubled husband also went into a
rather spicy description of some other
chapters in his matrimonial life. He said
that ono of the most frequent visitors to
the bouse was a man named Henry Do
Long , who was preaching in that neigh
borhood , and digging wells , etc. Ho
used to como there often and stay over
night , and sometimes over Sunday. Ho
thought that DoLoug was coming there
altogether too much and went with Mrs ,
York too much , Do-Long used to bo
there when ho was away. Sometimes
when ho was there this man would sleep
nn a lounge in the same room where his
wife's bed was , York sleeping in another
room. York and Ids wife did not bleep
together for a long lime. Ho laid much
of his family trouble to the presence of
DeLong in the homo , ami linally told Do
Long not to come there any more. Mrs.
York used to drive oil' with DoLong and
. be gone some days. .Shu used to come to
Council Dlull's with him , and sometimes
come here without him. ami incut him
here. In fact , ho thought lie had good
reason to bo jealous of DeLoii/J. / It was
about the lime of this friendliness with
DcLong that she commenced to bo
anxious to gel the property in her name.
York claimed that ho ! nd given most
of his wares to Mrs. York , besides giving
her the farm , nnd naturally felt that ho
had given her all she ought to have.
A Orent Record.
There arc few things of human con
struction so nearly perfect and invulner
able that the sharp point of intelligent
criticism cannot lind in thorn some weak
spot in which it is possible to pick a hole.
Hut scarcli as you may every line and
detail of the forty-llrst annual report of
"
ho New York Life" Insurance company ,
printed in full , no such spot is anywhere
visible. Of course , it is passible for men
whoso purposeis best known to them
selves , if llioy have any purpose at all , to
single oul something that may appear
faulty to them or that they are disposed
to make it so appear to others. Hut such
people , if any lliero be , might just as well
bo engaged in the fruitless labor of
endeavoring to prove that black is white
as to sot out on the hopeless taskof trying
to convince any intelligent man that the
exhibit of the New York Life is not above
and beyond honest criticism.
Its total income last year was over
$10,100,000 , , and its payments to policy
holders about $8,000,000.
Its interest income was over $3,000,000 ,
being nearly $400,000 in excess of losses
by death.
The market value of its securities is
over $300,000 , ! ! in excess of their cost.
And after providing for its liabilities ,
both actual and contingent , a surplus of
over thirteen million dollars by the .state
standard remains as a golden bulwark of
security for the policy holders.
Here is tlio year's work in a nutshell ;
an increase of nearly two million dollars
in income , over three million in surplus ,
over seven million in assets , and over
thirty millions of insurance in force.
Hut stupendous as these results arc ,
they are only in keeping with the pre
vious record of the company. And iu
considering , whether in outline or detail ,
its record of forty-one years , largo consid
eration should bo given to the circum
stances under which the results have
boon produced , as well as the re.sults
themselves. It .should among other things
bo remembered that forty-one years ago
life insurance was only an experiment
and apparently a very doubtful one in
this country , while its course in England
had been marked by lamentable failures ,
as well as by conspicuous success. It
should bo remembered , too , that this
country lias experienced many linancial
storms in the past forty years. At the
end of its first and at the end of its forty-
first year , the business of the Now York
'
Life 'during each year respectively was as

Insurance In iorcc 2rAOM.miK )
The insurance written during the first
ten years was less than one-third of tiie
amount placed on the company's books
during 183o , and the premiums received
wore only about one-sixth of the amount
received during 1885. This growth is so
immense that it is almost impossible to
comprehend its significance. Hut just
think of lids $80,000,000 paid to policy
holders , nearly $31.000,000 of which went
to the widows , orphans and other repre
sentatives of men who died. And the
proportion which the lotal amount paid
bears to the'lotal iccoipts from policy
holders , when taken in connection
with the cash assets now held in
trust for them , is equally remarkable.
Of the $1-M,000,000 , received from policy
lioldcrg , over eighty-nine millions have
been returned and nearly sixty-seven
million more stand to their credit on the
company's books. Ono item explains , in
part at least , how these exlraordinary re
sults have been produced. The interest
receipts alone showing how skillfully
ami carefully the funds have been in
vested and managed have paid all ex
penses of management , including taxes ,
and placed nearly twelve million dollars
to the credit of policy holders.
The men who made this brilliant record
for llio New York Life seek not public
recognition or personal praise. Hut in
the golden results of their faithfulness
and ability in the discharge of a great
sacred trust , they have the highest anil
best and most enduring reward. New
