Eastern S4te-
The President h.is J?dcw?d "the
'bill entitled ""uri act to prohibit
-military interference ax 'elections.
The president's veto
message
r.vas ief erred to the judiciary com-
j
mittee, anS a resolution adopted j
'that the house would vote on the
question of reconsideration on the
13th.
News is roseived that on Satur
clav night Charles Reid of Svdnev,
.Nebraska, who was in jail there for
Slaving- murdered Henry Loomis
the preceding day, was taken
out by about 400 citizens
;md hanged to a telegraph pole in
.the main street of the town.
The cause of the rapid and con
siderable rise in wheat at Chicago
on the 12th is continued hot weather
throughout the northwest, com
bined, it is alleged, with a move
ment on the part of a speculative
ring to force wheat above a dollar.
The weather recently has been
very unfavorable to growing crops
in the northwest.
The Times, Tribune and Inter
Ocean correspondents agree that
the following will probably be the
course of the democrats after a
second vete: They will hold an
other caucus, and the present
opinion appears to be that the
legislative appropriation bill will
pass the greatest possible restric
tions and the army bill will be al
lowed to fail. They will then dis
band and go home.
"PaIiic 'Coast Dispatches.
An attempt was made to burn
the Ohio house at Reno on the
night-! the 11th.
- Capi. John Hayes, pilot of the
cutter "Wolcott, formerly of the
steamship California, died at Port
Towsend while sitting at dinner
' on tlie 11th. He leaves a wife and
family in Portland, Oregon.
The Reno tar and feather brig
ade on the 12th, tarred and feather
bed a man named Ed. Davis. Davis
-lias been keeping a squaw rendez
vous, and is accused of furnishing
whisky to Indians. He bore liis
punishment bravely, and declares
that he will leave town. The
brigade tried to catch two other
fellows, but they were not success
ful. Connecticut Insurance Statistics.
From the Xcio Haven Journal.
Commissioner Stodnian's report
shows that the Connecticut fire
insurance companies' increase in
uross 'assets for 187S is 005,043;
in surplus as regards policy-holders,
SuOS,S4G; and in surplus over all
liabilities, 408,S4G. The total
gross assets of the state companies
are $17,G5i,015; surplus as regards
policy-holders, $12,702.59S; liabili
ties, including capital, 13,153,310;
surplus over all liabilities, 4,501--598.
In 1877 the ratio of expendi
tures to income was 105 99; last
3'ear, 91 8G. Most of the Hart
lord companies did a better busi
ness last year than in 1877. Since
1S74 the cash capital of Connecti
cut companies has increased from
$6,781,000 to 8,201,000; gross
assets, from 13,500,127 to 17,
045,710. Puring the same period
there has been a decrease in the
income, expenditures, premium,
mr.fmfs. and losses naid. but the

increased. 1 he premium receipts

$G,G23,179. The losses paid in
1873 arrrarpd G,lC0yll, but
last jear only 3,43-,171.
jT(r-lt is funny that when you ask a
man to adwriise lie generally declines
I'itli tn stat.MuiMit that nobody will see
it. But if vou advertise .some little caper
-ijfhis-in the news column gratis, he prts
indignant over the certainty that every
ie will see it.
