Seattle Press; The losses from fire
this year, so far, have been extraordi
nary. Although there was an almost en
tire luck of water supply yet nothing was
ever known a. disastrous proportionally
as the great fires that have desolated
Seattle, EHeaabnrgh and Spokane. The
toosas paid on the Pacific Coast by insur
ance companies daring the last half year
have been greater than any whole year
bltharto, exceeding them by* many mil
lions of doll.ira.
The following figures were kindly fur
nished by W. L Gasxem, the insurance
agent:

Insurance companies generally regard
ed the year 1888 as a fair average year.
For the year 1888. so far. the losses of
tha Insurance companies on the Pacific
Coast were aa follows:
Seattle 12,573.070
Spokane Fails J&HM*
Kheosburji 283,01.»

Durango, Colorado (July 1).. ftbA*

and Utah (Jane) 23.4-0
Various places In Washington
•inre Jane I'. 8M»
Previous to Jane on Coast 874,84 >
Total on Pacific Coast 87.-aS.4a)
These figures show that the present
losses np to date exceed the total losses
of last year by nsarly doable.
The total iusuraoce losses in Washinr
too territory alone since and including
the Seattle fire amount to |6,3«,. 81. pre
vious to that about fftLOUU, making a
total for the year of 8fi.481.t91. The ag
gregate loos to property by fire in Wash
ington territory since Jane Ist amounts
to tbs enormous som of 828,00 J.«».
The fire record for this year so far has
no previous parallel, and especially is
lids the case in Washington territory.
From the above figures it' will be seen
that the loeaae to insurance companies in
this territory since January Ist, 1889,
amount to nearly fifteen times the pre
miums of ISM.
The expenses of an insurance company
lor conducting its business, lor agendas,
advertising, etc., will average about 40
percent, of the premiums received, and
the looses are generally figured at 50 per
cent, ofthf premiums, thus leaving a
profit of 1J per cent, lor dividends. Put
ting the avarags premiums for Washing
ton territory at BftJ),-00, which is coo*
aktorably above those of 1888. it will re
quire over 100 years to make up the
lueses since January let.

Tto matrimonial hintory oI A. Bout lay
Worthington, the Christian scientist, was
told in New York recently for the first
time, by John D. Townsend, who was a
witness in the divorce case of J. J. Plank
ett against bis wife, who Is now living
with Worthington. Townsend is a well
known criminal lawyer, and he first knew
Worthington as a boy under his real name
of Samuel O. Crawford. He was then a
chorcli member, hut carried on an In
trigue with two girls in New York sod
ana la Philadelphia at the same time.
The Philadelphian. Him Moore, be waa
known to have married, and by her be
bad a girl, now nineteen yearn old.
“Not a dollar,” continued Mr. Town
•end, “baa Crawford ever paid toward the
support of bn wife and child during all
these years. Ha Ml my office partly be-
tnese years, ns wn my orooe psmy np
causa I found him fighting with some
person who called on him. and partly 1
to gel rid of the woman he had married i
fa Philadelphia, and who occasionally I
called there. I next heard of him as in <
the insurance business In Albany. He <
became engaged there to Miss Louise I
Groot. At that time Crawford was board- i
lag with her ancle. He waa living in fine I
style, had a fine office on State street, and i
kept n horse and carriage.
“About this time he made the acquaint- i
•nee el a widow, a Mrs. Llasie Co veil, <
who was then living in Troy, and to whom I
ha engaged himself. She was quite i
wealthy. Crawford was shout haying <
his outfit from A. T. Stewart A Co., of
this city, lor his marriage with the lady,
whan her ancle, Mr. Vsnderlip, caused
bis arrest (or obtaining money under
falsa pretenses. He was tried snd con
trived In Albany and seutemwd to the
pe dtootiary for three years. He served
two jranrs and six months of the time.
It la saWl that be saved the life of the
warden by Informing him of a plot laid
by convicts to kill him.
“On h’s discharge from prison he went
to Chicago, where he married Miss Gay
Flanifield, with whom he remained but
not day. Ho was accompanied by a
valet at the time and lived in regal style.
Vsam there lie went to Xenia. Ohio, under
the name of Mr. Walton, and married
Mias May Barlow, a daughter of a prom
inent judge of that town. He lived with
bar sixteen months and bad one child
fay bar.
“Afoot this time his sister furnished
him with a latter of introduction to a
Wend of hers, a Mrs. Mary Reynolds, a
lady who lived in Peoria, 111. He went
there under the name of Major Eugene
Bonner of the United States Army. Mrs.
BaynoMs received him with open arms.
The Reynolds were religious people and
ho Immodistely professed religion snd be
came a pillar in the church. Ho subse
quently robbed them of MOU) and skipped
to Son Francisco. He had obtained let
ter of introduction to General 1 idwell
from him. He again engaged himself to
• young lady, » Mias Lily Langley, but
before be oouM marry tier he was ex*
posed by Mrs. Reynolds of Peoria
“After that he turned op at Balt Lake
City in 1875. Then he went to Washing*
ton territory, was forced to skip lor fraud,
bat had time there to become enraged to
a girl. He went from there to Dakota,
where he married a girl, robbed her of
88000 and left her poor and with a child.
Worthington never visited a city without
becoming engaged and never deserted a
place without leaving one or more wives

There was a ludicrous scene at tbs Polk
attest depot soon after the Chicago and
Atlantic train polled into the big build
ing. A woman 4 • years obi, with a good
natured face, alighted from one of the inj
urant coaches and immediately began to
talk in some unknown tongue, The sta
tion master could not understand her,
neither could anyone else.
“Send lor t.'<e banana man,” suggested
the depot polienuao.
“Oh, the ain't a ‘Dago,’ ’’ said the de
pot mooter, as be listened to the peculiar
dialect.
The Italian was sent for, however; so
were the Greek fruit vender, and the Ger
man butcher, and the Polish and Scandi
navian saloon keepers on Dearborn street,
and the Scotch shoemaker, sod even the
Hebrew pawnbroker was called in to try
to communicate with the stranger. All
were unsuccessful, though, and just a*
the railroad men were about to give up
the aflair as a very bad job, P. O’Flynn,
an expressman, whose nationality is ap
parent. stepped ap, and, after listening to
the talk of the women, went op to tier
and said:
“Oh, shot np, yer Irish.’’
“You fellers are loins educated gentle
men. ain’t you?" said O’Flynn, taming
to the crowd. “Cunt ver ere that the
nold woman is Irish? Ask her phot she
will talk to you.”
But none of those present could speak
the native tongue of the Emerald Isle.
Even O’Flynn could only understand a
few words of the jabber, bat be could not
speak a word of the language that is only
known to n few.
No one would believe that a person
who had lived within four miles of Gal
way, Ireland, for the last forty years rook!
not speak or understand a word of Eng
lish, bat there are IJU) human beings on
an Island just that distant e from the
flourishing Iri h town who communicate
with one another through no other lan
guage hot the one spoken on the land of
the “ooid dart.’*

gangs la unknown there. One thousand
aonla or more are on the little island, and
it ia seldom that one of ita inhabitants
haa any desire to leave it. The woman
who reached the Polk street depot. how
ever, Is one the number who made up her
mind to come to America. She left the
island three weeks ago and started for
Chicago, wnere she b believed to have
relatives. The stranger was taken to the
armory soon after It was learned that she
was Irish, and it was at the station that
Officer Gorman of the Twenty-second
street station discovered her. Gorman is

came to Chicago. expecting to meet hrr
frieode at the depot. No one was there,
however, and as she bad lost the addn as
of her friends here she does not know
where to go. She said she believed that

Ones, when Bill Nye waa editing the
Laramie Boomerang, a man stopped him
as be has strolling along the street with s
Mend and told him of a case in which a
citixen had been guilty of whipping bis
wife most unmercifully. Nye made a
note of the matter In his report r’s book
and strolled on, remarking to his friend,
In a serious and earnest way, “that ain’t
right. It ain’t right for a man to lick Id*
wife like that. They are not doing that
sort of tiling now in the most recherche
circles.” Late despatches say that out
In Kansas a man was tarred and feathered
a few days ago for beating his wife, and
down in Delaware about the same time s
man .was given forty lashes on his bore
bock for the same offence. So it seems
that Nye’s ides is beginning to prevail
qoite extensively, that wife beating U
