R VOLUTION'ARY MANSIONS. Ancient Houses Still Standing in Now York City. The celebration of the contonninl of Washington's inauguration has stimu lated an interest among Now Yorkers in the history of Washington's tlmo , and especially in the landmarks still oxist- > ng in the city that wore , associated with events of the revolution and the years immediately following , says the Now York Sun. Of the fpw buildings of Washington's time which still re main the oldest is probably the Jumol mansion in Ono Hundred and Sixty- first street , near St. Nicholas ivvouuo. The house , which was then called the Morris mansion , was built by Roger Morris in 1767. The main part of the building was nearly square , two stories high , with a spacious attic. An exten sion of octagonal form contained a largo and stately parlor , magnificently furnished , with bedchambers ever it. The central hall , or passage-way to the parlor , was twenty foot wido. The walls of the mansion' were of imported Holland brick , sheathed with nlunlcs , Under the on tire building was a collar dug out of the solid rock. In this building Washington had his quarters , while the Americans wore slowly evac uating the city. From the porch in front of the house ho watched the movements of the oncmy's fleet in the Hudson below. Long before the revolution ths region about Illvorsido park was dotted with country scats and dcor parks , and was then known as Blootningdalo. Hero was built the famous Anthorpo mansion , originally a nobleman's ' palace , now a restaurant and boor hall in ox-Alder man Wondel's Elm Park. Under thereof roof of this mansion the secret expedi tion of Nathan Halo was planned Into on Saturday night , September 14 , } 770. Hero Washington had his headquarters when the iutolligonco of the approach of the British Hoot was brought to him , When ho moved further north and the British occupied the city , Lord Howe and his staff occupied the same apart ments in which Washington had slept. The building will soon bo torn down to mnko way for a now street. There are two other historic build ings , though of a somewhat later period , in that neighborhood. Ono , ' 'Tho Grange , " in One Hundred ami Forty- seventh street , near Tontli uvonuo , was built by Alexander Hamilton in 1802. The other , built about the sumo time by Dr. Samuel Bradhurst , stands in Ono Hundred and Forty-eighth street. Another building of a still later date , stands near General Grant's tomb. It in the Claremont mansion , occupied at various times by many distingulshod persons. It was built by Dr. Post. Ho was succeeded by Viscount Courtonay , afterwards carl of Devon , After the earl came Francis Jamcp Jackson , Brit ish minister. Joseph Bonaparte , ox- king of Spain , lived in this mansion in 1815. Now a prosperous rostuurnntuur occupies it , and dispenses boor and sandwiches to West Side pleasure eoolcorsJ In tl7o lower part of the city , now called "down town"and then known as "tho city. " few of the old buildings ro- niiiin. The old Clurkson house in Whitehall street was burn'cd in 1770. In 1703 a three story brick building was built on the slto and is still thoro. The row of old-fashibnod houses on State street is also a rcllo of 1760. The slto of the French Huguenot church which was built m lU88is now occupied by the produce exchange. The Kennedy houao at 1 Broadway , and an old framb houao adjoining it , from which Washington is said to have viewed the fireworks on the occasion of hia inauguration , wore removed to make rooia for the Wash ington building. MA INSURANCE COMPANIES , How Hnwkoyo People Are Pro- tooted Against Fraud. A REPUBLICAN VETERAN CLUB. Old tnlllcrs ) Organize nt DulUUo For 1'olltlonl Purpose * ) Tooth I'ull- crs Quarreling Tim Con * dtictors' Building. The Hnrtfnrd of the West. DCS MOINES , la. , May 13. ( Special to TAB Bnc.jlovvn Is getting to bo quite a state for insurance business. DOS Molncs has been called the Hartford of the west , it has so many Insurance companies located hero. But the interest which the Iowa authorities have taken in protecting the people against fraudulent Insurance companies , has given them confidence to give a good patronage to companies that nro reliable and worthy. The Insurance department of the state audi tor's ofilco is not only ono of the most Im portant branches of his worn , but Is also ono of the most Important de partments of all the public ofllcos of the state. Its business has grown to such proportions that it calls for the undivided at tention of several clerks , and the auditor himself , gives It personal oversight. Audi tor Lyons has Just prepared and given to the printer his annual report on this subject. It will bo some weeks before the report will bo ready for the public , but , from advance sheets , some interesting Information can bo obtained. Since his last report was issued , ho has admitted flvo flro insurance com panies to do business in the stato. During the past year ho has revoked the cortlllcuto of but ono company , which speaks well for the good character of the business they nro doing. There are twenty-seven Hfo com panies , two of which do accident business ulso. and ono that docs an exclusively acci dent business In the stato. Of this number four are Iowa companies , ono Joint stock company and ttirco mutual. During Ib38 there were thirty-one mutual benefit asso ciations doing business in the state , and of this number eighteen wore Iowa associations. Since January J , 1880 , thirty companies have been granted certificates , There nro now lit flro insurance companies authorized to do business in this state , seventeen of which arn Iowa companies. There are 114 mutual , flro and tornado asso ciations operating in the state under a special provision of the code. There are ut present twenty-nine distinctive life companies au thorized to do business in th'o state. The auditor makes some special recommendations with reference to what uro known as "fra ternal" associations , that do tin insurancp business. On the theory that these fratcr- uals wore organized for social rathtJrthan business purposes , they have enjoyed an ex emption from the supervision , which other associations have hud. Some of these frater nal associations , like the order of railroad conductors , Masonic Benevolent association , etc. , etc. , have voluntarily reported to the in surance department the results of their in surance work. But the auditor intimates that there is a host of snide companies that , under the guise of being a benevolent and fraternal society , really carry on an insur ance business subject to no legal control , and Quito disposed to swindle the unfor tunates that are duped by them. So ho recommends that the law bo amended so as to require all associations organized under the laws of the state to make reports to tllo insurance department , and bo subject to examination - amination by it , the same as other assess ment associations aro. And also that the same requirements bo exacted of all such fraternal societies that may bo organized in other states , but do business in this'state. State Dental Association. DBS MOISES , la. , May 12. | Special to TUB BEE. ] The recent meeting in this city of the State Dental association developed a good deal of bad blood , over the management of the dental department of the state uni versity. The public generally has known very little of the fight going on between the old faction and the new ono , among the den tists of Iowa. The old .men , who organized the society , and in duo time organized the dental department of the state university , and contributed the money..to support itbo fore the state adopted it , are very much in censed over the removal of two of the old professors at the university. The university seems to have a porqunial quarrel of some kind on its hands , and a row had grown up in the dental department , whoso faculty failed to agree with each other. The regents tool : a band , by cutting off the heads of two of the teachers , who hauponcd 15 ho two of the old-time friends and strongest support ers of the state society. Alonjr came the legislative committee , and it made u report rullecting upon the man whom the regents had promoted over the heads of the deposed professors. So the tooth-pullers had to fight It out in their association meeting hero. They took sides for and against the deposed pro fessors , and for and against the legislative investigating committee's report. Most of the older men 01 the association wore for the deposed professors , and for the committee report. Most of the younger man , who have been under the teaching and influence of the favored professor , in recent years , wore for him , and against the report. But they were defeated , after a long and hitter fljrht. It is probable that the fight may bo renewed next winter , when the legislature moots , and one or two regents are to bo elected. Blusio Tcaclieri' Association. DCS MOINES , la. , May 12. fSpecial to THE BEE. ] The principal event of public- in terest in southern Iowa the past week was the annual meeting of the Muslo Teachers' State association. This organization is com paratively young , but already takes high rauk in the state , and its meeting at Mount Pleasant was a great success. Its member ship includes the loading music teachers In the colloges'and publlo schools of the state , together with prominent musicians and pri vate teachers of music. It devoted thrco days to Its work at Mount Pleasant. The programme of exorci.sos was largely devoted to matters of a purely technical character , that chiefly Interested the members of the association. But Interspersed were concerts of a popular order by the leading performers In the association , The association gave special attention to the subject of music in the publlo schools , and had an example of some excellent results that were obtained by the system taught by Mrs. Jackson , v. ifo ot the superintendent of the schools of Mount Pleasant. It is bellnved that a united and systematic effort will be made to have rnusia iiitrcdnccd into all of tbo schools of the state its ft pirt of the regular work of in struction. It Is now u part of tfio course of study In many of the cities of ft wa , though not in all. The next meeting of vfto associa tion will bo hold in DCS Moines In May , 18'JJ. Prof. Uommol , the president of the Musical Conservatory ut Mount Pleasant , was ro- olcctod president of the state association. Kopublluuu VotornilB. DBS MOINES , la. , May 13. [ Special to THE BEE. ] There has. , been organized at Dubuque , a republican club , competed en tirely of old so'idlers who are republicans. It Is understood that they want to take a hand In politics , us old soldiers , and as they would not bo allowed to do under tbo consti tution of the Grand Army. They think that the old soldiers uro not always getting fair play in the matter of olllcos , and they bopo to improve their condition by this organiza tion. Thnro is some talk that blmllar or ganisations may bo made In other parts of the state. But as the old soldiers in Iowa have generally got what they wanted heretofore , there doosn' seem to bo much need of this new alliance. Ijove'e Protection. SIOUJE Our , IB. , May 10.

In preparing the land for grasses it is not always wisoto stir the soil-very flcop by plowing , especially If the sub soil is poor , says the Brooders' Gazotto. By kcopinp the fertility oloso to the surface , with shallow cultivation the young grasj plants have much creator opportunity for getting a start und maintaining tlieiniolvcs than if they are compelled to begin lifo upon burro u aub-soil fresh turned up by the plow. Experience lias taught that prairie and wood lauds can bo converted into line pastures withoutairring ) the virgin soil , by scatterngjfeood upon the unplowed - plowed soil. Oftontl farmers express a desire to break ujitho' old pasture lot , expecting that by resooding the grass product will bo greatly increased. Wo think this idea is usually Incorrect , and urge that the old pastures ho loft undis turbed. In England there is a saying that a man can bo knighted in a inin- ute , but it requires a hundred yours to inalco luwn. Many of our old pastures are , better now , after u generation has passed , than ever before , and it would bo a great pity to disturb thorn in any way , , unless " to fortili/.o by surface manuring. "An examination of those pastures will show the soil richest near the surface , and * this is just w.horo the fertility should bo. It works down rapidly enough by the rains to bo util ized by the grass roots. Better than to disturb the pastures by plowing and roseoding is the plan of 'coding thorn with manures scattered on In the fall , or by feeding bnni and other Toods rich in fortiliztira to the cuttle which pasture on 'them , BO that the ilroppings ho utilized. Manuring land by feeding the cuttjo in summer is ad vantageous In Bovornl ways , not least of which that the manure is disposed of without cost , and is applied to the field without waste. Hardened nmesoa of droppings can easily bo broken up and llstrlbutod ouch spring by running u irag ovqr the pastures. Frames at whclosalo prices.

A special dispatch from Toronto , Out. , says Dr. Cronlu returned to that city Sntunlny afternoon ntul was cor- norcil In his hotel by n correspondent who know him In Chicago. Cronln nt flwt win very loath to talk , but on the correspondent threatening to disclose his presence to the detectives , ho bccmno more communicative. Ho said , In substtmeo , that ho came to Chicago from St. Louis several years npo after consulting with Intimate friends , mid because ho found that tliu great Irish flcld wns to be entered either nt Chlcnco or Now York. Ho wont to Chicago armed with good letters of Intro duction mid soon established himself there. Cronln then wont on to assort that ho soon discovered that largo quantities of the money being received by certain prominent mem bers of the Irish National loagno wore not handled properly , and that not more thnu three-fourths of It over reached Ireland. "I know , " wald Cronln , "Hint at least SS5.000 was gobbled up by certain persons In Chicago , and when I began to call the "turn , on them , they tried to scare nio off , and , llndlng that a failure , they tried to bribe mo. That would not worit , and their next move was to introduce mo to Lo Caron , giving his name as Beach , In order that ho might pump me and damngo mo in nny wuy ho could. Ho got very little out of mo , however , and that means . failed. I bavo been warned several times to get out of the country by friends , and assured that uiv life was In danger , but up to last Saturday 1 felt that I could hold my own. Last Satur day , however , I was put in possession of un questionable proof that the Clan-nu-Qaol so. ctoty had decided tLnt my Hfo should bo taken. A man was appointed as my executioner and preparations were in active progress to accomplish the deed. I made up my mind at once to fly. You know the rest. " "Did you plan , " asked the correspondent , "for a man to cell at your ofllco In Chicago and request you to go out to the ice house to attend a patient ! " "That I will not answer , " rosponScd the doctor. When asked what move ho intended to make next , the doctor nt lirst refused to an swer , but finally said ho would get to Franco as soon us possible. "I left some very important documents In Chicago , "and ouly hope that I can get to a country where I can be safe. Then I will make some disclosures , which will open the eyes of the public generally and make the hair stand on the heads of several Chicago and New York getulemen. The Conklins have made fools of themselves over the whole matter. According to the Instruc tions , I left with them they should not have opened their mouths until I was safely out of the country. But it is the sarno old story. Tell a woman anything , and you nro sure to got the woistof it. " Cronin indicated that a certain Methodist minister had caused his trouble , but would not disclose his name. James J. Conwoll , a reporter on the Chicago cage Times , said by Cronin In the Toronto interview to bo the person who introduced him to LcCaron , the British spy , denies em phatically that there is any truth in the as sertion , Conwoll says he was detailed once to interview Cronin on some local Irish mat- tnr , and that the doctor subsequently wanted Conwcll to have published a long article , in which Cronin was made to figure hs n man who was being perse cuted In certain ways on account of his religion and nationality. Conwoll re turned the manuscript. Cronln grew very indignant. Conwell knows nothing of Cro nin and never heard ot Lo Caron until the latter's appearance as an Informer in Lon don. don.Tho The man Charles Long , who Is said to have discovered Cronln in Toronto , and who is sending out Interviews from ttioro with the doctor , is the person , Conwoll says , through whom Cronin , while in Chicago , sent the re jected manuscript mentioned above , and through whom the document was returned to Cronin.

In company with n , lmUbrood who combined the vocations ot woodtnnn nu 1 hunter , L atuinbloil suddenly on a litrgo specimen of the crotnhm rautus slowly winding Us way nmong the Ion dobrls of the forest , snys iv writer In the India Stnlosmnn. For some tltno it was dlllloult to discern the scnlj ( olds ol the simko through the brown muss of decaying follngo , but hixvlnp reiiohcd n olonr spot the roptllo collet ] nroundn low stump and prepared for notion. About a yard of the body next to the bond wns contracted Into numer ous uhnrn curves not unllko a cork screw , wjillo the yellow eye gleamed with u. baleful light. There was llttlo fascination nboul thosu orbs and no mistaking the malig nant intentions of their owner. A stick brought within reach of that mor tal coil was struck almost with the rapidity of lightning , no matter how swiftly withdrawn. This was affected by the Instantaneous straightening ol the short curves Into which this portion tion of the body had boon contracted. Kven the wily mongoose would have needed all of Ills murvolous agility to avoid tbo deadly stroke if once within range. The roach was about ayard , and the assault was delivered horizon tally seine six inched from the ground , directly toward the astmllant. The hunter , who had hitherto kept n re spectful distance , ns ho alleged the snake could spring , wns eventually persuaded to approach sulliclonlly near to strike It with a ten-font nolc. At the llrst blow the heavy cells re laxed from the stump and the creature appeared doud or stunned. The writer at once grasped the neck about two inches from the hond und raised the head partly from the gruund to examine - ino it. As thonph galvani/.od Into lifo by the touch , the crotalus scorned at once to recover Its energies , and slowly made a couple of turns around the thigh and right arm of the would-bo captor. The constricting power exor cised was such that the hand grasping the neck began to lese power , and the writer realized the awful predicament into which his temerity had led him. Lllllo could be done with the free left hand , while the ' 'scaly terror" begun slowly to withdraw his head from the relaxing grasp of tno right. For some seconds the trembling wood man appeared deaf to entreaty , and could not bo persuaded to apply a uooso or liana to the snake's nock , The largest serpents becomes oaralyzis when properly noosed , and are readily dragged along the ground helpless nsit log. Just ns the snnko's head seemed about to ooze through the numbo fingers , the half-brood screwed un his courage snlllcioiitly to applv the liana as directed , with the result that the brute relaxed its coils , and was dragged down to a neighboring stream , hung up and skinned. It measured eight feet live inches , and was about as thick in the largest part of the body as the calf of a man's leg. The fangs , which wore careful ex tracted , measured ono and a quarter inches in length , and wore hollow to within a short distance of the point , whore on the inner side lay the orifice through which the poison was ejected by the action of the base of the fang on tlip bag in which it was socrcted. In squeezing the bag n small quantity of poison , a yellow lluid , passed down the hollow in the tooth and ( fathered into n tiny drop of concentrated death. The stomach contained two woodrats about the size of guinea wigs , one partially digested , the other recently swallowed. Ilnrcl Wood. Twelve and slxtoon-inch hard wood. MOUNT & GuiFi'iN , 2ia s.
