C. , where millions of dollars lars wortli of property were destroyed and hundreds of people left homeless and suf fering by the recent I'tnlhquako visita tions at that place , ought to arouse every citizen to philanthropic action. Great suffering prevails in the desolated district , nnd the wants of the suHercrs should find immediate relief , Subscription lists have been started all over the country to secure relief funds that are so badly needed. A similar movement has been started in Omaha. Tlio Nebraska Clothing company , one of the enterprising new firms of tliu city , have shown the kind of mettle thov are made of by generously offering to donate 5 pur cent of their sales on their opening day to-dny , Monday , Sep tember U , to the aid of the Charleston suf ferers.

[ Correspond ence ot the BEE ] The fight for represen tative and senator in this county waxes warm , and of course it is Van Wyck and anti-Van Wyok , or tho2 percent a month sharks , lawyers , ringsters and- political mountebank ! ) versus the people. There is no doubt but that the hulk of republicans in Antelope county nro desir ous of electing a representative whu will bo an outspoken supporter of Sen alor Van \Vyck , but the wire-pullers nnd po litical manipulators are nt work to de feat the will of the majority. Everyt nng Hint can bo done or said to daze the per ception of tlio masses is being done , for well aware they nro that n fair , open , straightforward light means disaster to tlio monopolist. One thing that is a little damaging to the Van Wvck clement is , that we have no organ to use to combut the dirty shoot manned by a political renugado , and ono wluJso private lifein the Illinois town that spewed him out is a stench in the nostrils of all decent pee ple. Nothing too moan or low can eman ate from his diseased mind and grovelling moral nature , and it is upon this kind of simpoit the lisrlitord against Van Wyck rely. rely.Ono thing certain is that the fight will bo a straight issue. No uncertain sound will bo heard , but the farmers of Ante- lopu county have resolved that the ma chine yoke shall not gull their nooks at the nuxt election. A trick resorted to in Neligh this week after the Van Wyck Republican club had been formed was for the machinists to call a straight republican meeting and thereby si > ok to excommunicate all repub licans who dated to support Van \Vyck , but tlio ruse will not work. Men whoso bonds nro groy and who bear the rebel load in their bodies refuse U ) be read out of the grand old party by chronic ollico- hookers and men whoso only use for the party is to fat themselves , and like vul tures ever Imi.gry are now hovonng around to grab tlio spoils , Smco writing the torcgoing thn republi can mooting has been hold , and , straujrn to sny , the schemers found upon count ing IIOSO.H In the hall that a majority ot the republicans present were straight'out and out supporters ot Van Wyck. Tlio nicotine was called to order , the business proceeded and upon motion all republi cans in the room were considered mom- bora of the club. A committee on resolu tions was elected , who submitted tlio fol lowing , which was unanimously adopted ; Roaolved , That wo republicans in mass nicotine assembled , admire the conra"o- ous conduct ) t Senator Van Wvck in his fight against monopolies ami for tliu good of the people. Tlmi tlio sohumo of excommunication did not work. The time has not yet ar rived when those who wore prusont nt the uativity of icrublicanism are to bo hounded out of the party by boardlisss boys who are willing to bo tlio tools of chronic ollico stokers and political ring- iters.

A NEW ZEALAND ROMANCE , The Pate Of a Man and Woman Who Con spired toDefratid'an Insurance Company. A GOOD PLOT FOR A NOVEL. A Judgment tliht United Them ON Melons ll\oi < iert , Tlit'iu ns Hus band mill AMfo. 1 u The Hritish novelist ought to fed thank- lul for the enlargement of licr majesty's dominions , says the London Telegraph. If Canada , South Africa and Aunralia havu ceased to bo eminently serviceable to tlio can oof pauperism in this country , they may be counted as highly promising In the interests of fiction , not only of the domestic but of all other sorts Tliu ro- mancist , more especially in the < o times of hifilily-liavorod Mot-It" , hns been digging \vitli such unremitting \igor into the in tellectual soil of the old country that the produce begins to show like llio end ol a coal mine where the mineral merges into earth. New aspects of roguery are wanted. The old is staJo. It is time that the familiar passions and emotions of the three-volume novel .should lojiivonate their countenance * , wrinkled with ago nnd very much staled by custom , with a few oi the graces and embellishments which life and the pressure ! of human needs are producing with somci abun dance in various parts of that empire over which the HUH never sets. As an ex ample , during tlio last livc-and-twenty years , over since , in short , the "sensa- lional'1 novel replaced the fictional litera ture of G. 1' . K. James , Douglas Jorrold , Htilwer , Albert Snijth , and the like , n ureut number of writers have employed the cheating of insurance ollicos as incidents in tliu career of tiieir villains. Kvon the pre-eminently original Charles Dickens founded his story of "limited Down'1 upon this hpceies of fraud. Hut whatever novelty the idea in times now comparatively remote once is entirely dead and gone not oeauso it has been worked out , but be- cnuie writers of Ik-lion seem unable to Ireslicn up tlio old time by variation or two. It is otherwise uj Now Zealand. A man and his wife conspiring to rob an in surance ollico fell to their work with such strength and ireshness of imagination thatjt will bo seen at oueo how much the British romaucist nuistlo- by not btead- fastly keeping Ills eye upon the life that teems in our distant possessions. In what year a certain person named Howard in- fiiired his life in .Now Zealand is not statedjbut it is certain that shortly _ after the policy had been issued ho vanished. In course of time his wife reported him dead , and his widow claimed the amount ho had been insured for. The company declined to pay until the lady produced satisfactory , prcof of Howard's death. Indeed , rujniofts had readied the cars of the directors that Howard had been seen alive inIt , part of New Zealand a long way distant , from the place in which lie lived. But one day came news of it man named Godfrey having found a human hand on thjn sea'shore , on a linger of which was a ring wJUch all who know Howard declared to be. one ho was in tlio constant habit of wearing. There are several uncomfortable ! stories in French , Italian , and other .literature concerning dead hearts , but1 hero wo have a now version of tlio tj'p'ical Pot of Basil in this hint of a dead hau { ] , stretched forth , as it might bo , out of the shades to seize from tlio pockets of the "Callous _ insurance directors the monify oaring to the widow of the owner of the Ii'anii. , This production , however , proved a form of dead reckoning which left tlio withers of tlio directors entirely ttnwrung. They took the hand and requested the judgment of some medical men upon it , and the conclusion arrived at was that it was not a hand belonging to a person who had been drowned and "whoso body had been eaten up by lish , " but that it had been rudely severed from some corpse on land. Who , then , was or had been the proprietor of that hand ? It was clearly not Mr. Howard's , because shortly after the medical men had sent in tlioir report Air. Howard was traced and arrested , and found to have both his hands ailixed to his arms according to the laws of nature. Whether by this time a one-handed body has boon found , with a mutilated arm perfectly fitting the arm discovered by Godfrey , it is impos sible to say , but down to the Ond of May last every effort to discover such a corpse had resulted in failure. After Howard's capture his wife and Godfrey and his brother were arrested , and tried on tlio charge of conspiracy to defraud. All this is logical enough ; and given to an English novclistcapablc of importinc : tlio astounding novelty of a dead hand with a ring upon it into an incident or tale re lating to an insurance fraud , the rest would bo a plain ending of trial , verdict and punishment. IJut life in our colonies is not only real , not only earnest , but in its criminal features often wonderfully complicated , owing possibly to individual antece dents which comprise a great deal of travel , hticcess , failure , emergencies , and disappearances. The jury acquitted ail the prisoners on the first count ono for conspiracy and found Howard alone guilty on the .second count to defraudfor which lie was sentenced to two years' im prisonment. Now followed the compli cation , It was shown that Howard was married to his wife on tliu voyage to New Zealand by the captain of the ship. The vessel was registered and owned in Glas gow , The validity of the marriasc was disputed by the prosecution. Howard's counsel argued that the ship was part of tliu territory of Scotland , and therefore tlm Scotch irregular marriage performed on board was valid. On the other hand it was contended that to make mioh a mar riage valid in Scotland it must be pur- formed in Scotland and followed by co habitation in that country. The question was : llio Godfreys having boon ac quitted , could the Howards bo charged with conspiracy ? If they wore man and wife they coiihl no.tjtiO ijo charged. The judge- settled tliu ni'atlen by declaring thut in law a marriage orvjco celebrated by tlio master of a snip tit isea was no mar- nago ; and ho therpforo hold that the ciiargo of conspiracy might bo sustained against tlio couplc'J'who did unquestion ably regard thomsolvo us honorably hus band and wifo. That tlio master of'a sliip cannot le gally join a eon pit ! ill holy matrimony will bo news to many , though wo now learn thut an order has ueon issued pro hibiting such union's oil board her ma jesty's ships by uny c'antain , ollicor or purson unqualified py holy orders of the church of England , Ire-fund , Scotland , or the priesthood of llu ) Koman Catholic church. Even this , /order , it may bo added , must apply , tp pie future , anil can not possibly bo retrospective , whether or not it bo brought to bear on the mercan tile marine as well us on llio royal navy. If the Now Zealand jndgtj bo correct in Ills interpretation of Ia\\ then the old ocean loses a score of tender and inter esting traditions , and tlio novelist a mass of uietiirosque possibilities. It is true Unit this is an ago of steamboats , and passages oven into the most distant paits are too swift to admit of much more tlnui a sorl of an incipient love-making. But great numbers of persons still travel by the sailing ships and embark on a journey of three or four months to Austraili.i and the adjacent islands ; and if what ids Now Zealand lordship declares bo tlio fuel , the judgment must full with bomo- thinir of the weight of a blow upon all people of both sexes , nnd nurlmps nf all tiges , who , bavins ; pgltid o 10 another to as far as the equator , fall tlospor.itolv in love on the parallel of the Cape of Good Hone , and Would willingly become oiu flesn some time before tin longitude ol Amsterdam island lias been icnehod. The powers vested in ( lie captain of the ship arc so great that it seems incredible it should not be legal in him to marry a cotiplo on board lii < vessel. He Is cer tainly allowed to bury the dead , and very often has it fallen to his lot to christen infant. * , nor will it bo < nmpocd that the cllieao of the the holy rite of baptUm is neutrali/.ed becau o the coicmony was performed by n master mariner. If ho can commit bodies to the do-op according to the term * of llu olllcc , and if ho can give babies Christian names and oiler thorn u spiritual welcome to the church , ns to his ship , why may not ho bind by iinli * otiblo ! lies all such as happen to want to get mar ried on board ship ? Unquestionably , since the days when the red Hag of Hr'i- tain was first llown there must have been a great number of people made husband and wives of by the ship captain ; anil to suppose all those marriages illegal would suiely to bo toinjunitho yood and sound repute of scores of families In this coun try and in the colonies , many of whom enjoy the distinction of treeing their ori gin back through several generations without encountering anything in the least degree objectionable. O\er and over again marriages were celebrated at sea on board the old Kast Indlanien in times when it took fnro months to sail between Graves-owl nnd Hombar. Nor did those aned structures invariably carry chaplains , just is it not inevitable Hint thorn should bo a clergvman among a number of passengers of1 whom two have grown keenly solicitous to bo made one of while the southern cross is still low in the heavens over the ship's bow It is only necessary to remember how much can take place on shore In five months to appreciate the obligation tliu Kast India skipper accepted as a paitof his functions as a navigator , of marrying those who asked to bo married anywhere between the chops of the channel nnd the mouth of the River Hooghly. Even in these days of Heel clipper merchantmen time will hang heavy ; flirtation is the result : love sometimes follows , and it might justly bo deemed a grievance that the ship should have to bo moored , the passengers landed , the bans published , or the lioen&o procured before the lovers could bo united. If the New Zealand judge bo right , then n great many people arc mistaken , whilst a good many others have plunged themselves or their posterity into a dilemma. His perfectly true that by this ruling the prosecution \\ere enabled to link "Mrs.1 Howard with the man she believed herself married to in the charge of conspiracy ; though the judgment that united thorn as felons divorced thorn as husband and wifo. IJut it is not every body who is married to a lady on board siiip who trios to rob an insurance oflico by pretending ho is dead , and sending in a very cold hand as proof of his decease ; and there must be many very honest and highly respectable persons who will have heard with concern anil anxiety thut , in the opinion of a Now Zealand judge , a marriage service celebrated on board ship by the captain is illegal.
