Ollle Mehay, rbli'ty-five years oil, of 160 Billot street, took a dose of poison and swtalkiwvd her false teet at the came time last night and died at 1 o'clock this morning from the effects of one or bath. The people with wham the woman lived do not know why she took tlie drug. She was ill the reran With friends during the early part of the night and there seemed nothing unusual about her conduct. Suddenly she arose from her chair, r e('i,d and fell over backward on a bed. T'hoee presto! thought she had fainted and did what they could to revive her. Their efforts were futile and her condi tion became so ulrmlng that a physi cian was called. Those about the house say thait there w»a no drug there which she might have gallon hold of aiml where ft came from is a matter of mystery. Before she died a gentleman who won in the house at the time discovered Uhalt Mrs. Mehay was choking to death. Her throat deemed to be stopped up while her mouth was almost wide open. Something in her rthrct.it seemed to be giving her great puin ar.d an tnvi-stogu- t.Vm was made. An Instrument was forced dawn her throat and a email plate containing two false teeth was ex tracted. Mrs. aichay was thirty-five years of age and came hen? about five years ago from Savannah where She has a di vorced husband and five children.

New York, April 15.—For the past three or four months the stores In Har lem have been flooded with counterfeit dimes, quarters and hajf-dollara. The secret service squad have been trying to ferret out the gang distributing the bogus coin. They believe they have now got to the bottom of the mystery. John Houghton was serving a sen tence of five months for assault In tlie Blackwell's Island penitentiary. His time expired Saturday. While in prison he worked In the blacksmith shop. A week ago Warden Plllsbury found counterfeit ten-cent pieces in the wash room of the prison. A quiet search of the cells resulted In finding a counter feiter's outfit and over TOO in bogus dimes and half-dollars in Houghton's cell. Tlie secret service officers were noti fied, and in the warden's private room Houghton was confronted with the out fit, which had not been previously dis turbed. He denied any knowledge of the matter, and remained mute until Saturday afternoon last, when he was about to leave the prison on a dis charge, he was rearrested by Baggs of the seer** service. He then confessed. He said I hat at the suggestion or an other prisoner, wliOBe naaue could not be learned Saturday, be entered into the scheme. They secured some plaster of parts from the prison departments, and bor rowing some new coins from fellow prisoners, they used them to make impressions. Houghton li»d no difficulty In obtaining till the lead be wo,tried. It Is claimed that between 1500 and 11,000 w«s made Tty the two men within u* weeks. The man accused by Hough ton I is under sentence of nine months. He also was seht up for assault. His time will expire on the 29th of this monib. . , , Houghton was taken before a United States commissioner, to whom fie re peated his confession.

Jacksonville, Fla., April 15.—The insurance men of Florida nre greatly alarmed over Sen*tor iBroome s valued policy bill which will come up In the senate nt Tallahassee Wednesday. Senator Hartrldge of Duval has writ ten a letter to a friend here saying that the bill Is likely to pass. The measure Is Intended to abolish the three-quarter clause In Insurance poli cies and compel the companies to pay the full amount of the risk. •‘If the bill should become a law,” said Mr. J. H. Morton, a prominent fire insurance agent, today, "it Is more than likely that all the fire insurance companies doing business In Florida will cancel their policies and quit the state, leaving our pfeople without In surance. "The freeze has already shattered the credit of the country merchant*, and If solid insurance protection were now to be withdrawn It would b? like knocking out the last prop and we may look for general disaster. Those also having mortgages on their real estate will suffer, as It t* more than likely, should the Insurance collateral be withdrawn, that the mortgagers will clamor for their money. “The insurance companies are quite uneasy about the condition of Florida since the freeze, and losses have been unusually numerous from all parts of the state. Therefore if this bill, which offers a premium on arson and dishon esty, should become n law there ts no doubt that the fire Insurance compa nies would promptly cancel and quit tlie state.” THE DISCOVERY SAVED HIS LIFE. Mr. O. Callloutte, druggist, Beuveravllle, III., says: ••To Dr. Kings New Discovery I owe my life.

J. Lamar * Boo's drug store. Atlanta, April 15.—^(8p»clal.)—Gov ernor Atkinson recently requested Comptroller General Wright to prepare for him a statement showing what Insurance companies doing business In Georgia are making Investment* here, with a view to showing the people which companies are friendly to the state and which' are not, that they may govern their patronage accord ingly. Today Comptroller General Wright submitted his report. It makes exceed- ingly Interesting reading and food for thought to the people who own tile property of Georgia and who pay out their thousands of dollars every year for both Are and life insurance. Out of twenty-six life Insurance companies doing business In the state there are only nine which have any thing Invested here, although none of them have provisions In their charters which prohibit them from Investing hire. Out of fifty-one fire Insurance compa- uits doing business in Georgia there -.ire only three foreign companies which have anything Invested In the state outside of *he Z25.000 which all are required to deposit with the state trea surer before they begin business. All the Georgia companies, of course, in vest their money In the state. The three foreign companies with Investments here are the Sun of Eng land. which has $25,000 In railroad bonds: the Continental of New York, which has $100,000 In bonds in this state, and the Home of New York, which has $50,000 In bonds. Of the Georgia Fire Insurance Com rallies the Atlanta Home has $348,000 In real estate, the Georgia Home of Columbus $265,826 In real estate, the Macon Fire Insurance Company $52,243 In real estate and $94,000 In bonds, and the Southern Mutual of Athens has 1207,000 In stock* and $52,705 n bonds. The life Insurance companies doing busine«s in Georgia who have money Invested here are as follows: The Equitable of New York. $1,250,- 000 In real estate loans ta* against $149,- 595,018.04 invested elsewhere. Manhattan of New York, $30,000 In bond loan*, as against $12,284,360.13 elsewhere. ■Marykind of Baltimore, $780 In bonds, a* ngiinst $1,641,738.66 Invested else where. Mutual of New York, $103,550 In bond loans and i $1,778,131.41 In bonds, as gainst $165,0*2.523 Invested elsewhere. Mutual Of Louisville, Ky.. $65,180 In real estate Ioann, ua against $2,003,- 067.75 elsewhere. New York Lif\ $1,418,605 Central railroad and $007,000 reai estate loan*, ns against $132,976,336 invested; else where. -• Penn -Mutual' <of •Phlldelphla, $1*4,800 in reel estate UR ns, as against $21,243,- 045.77 invested elsewhere. Provident Savings Society of New York, $38,000 real estate loans and $81,663.76 In bond#, s against $1,161,- 0*1.25 Invested elsewhere. Traveller* of Hartford. $442,100 In real estate loan* and $67,675 city bonds, as against $16,811,914.16 Invested else where. i These figure* show that those com panies which do any business at nil tn Georgia In the nay of lending their funds consider this state a good field for Investment, and there to no reason why the other seventeen companies engaged In writing Insurance should not also Invest here. There ha* been an Impression that som- of them were re stricted from so doing by charter con ditions, but the com»tro|leri» Investi gation shows that not a single one of the twenty-seven companle* baa any thing In it* charter to prevent th? making of Investments In this state, either on real estate or bonds and slocks. Governor Atkinson believes th*t tho publication of th.» figures as here given will set the people to thinking, as well as the Insurance cotnpAfiles. ami the re sult wl'.l be that those companies al- rrdy Investing here will increase their luvestmehts in order to still further eu- llst patronage here, while those that have not Invested anything 111 Georgia, thus aiding In the state's development, will be forced to do so In the future to keep up with their competitor* and remain on good terms with the people of the state.

Illeken, the notorlou* confidence woman of many aliases, who hns been an Inmate of Fulton county Jail since tost summer, pending the dtopoeitloti of th* case* against her, was released today upon a decision of the supreme court, euatalning the demurrer to the Indictment under which she was con victed. In effect, the woman escaped upon a technicality. She was Bulleted, among other transactions, for forging An* Dime of C. E. Henderson upon the First National Bank of Titusville, Fla. The check, however, showed the inltlsk of Henderson's name to have been transposed, the signature <d the check being E. C. Htnderson. The supreme court held that there was no •uch person as E. C. Henderson and therefore no forgery vai committed. There are other charges against Mr*. Hlcken, or whatever the woman's name really Is, and she will very probably be Indicted sgiln unless her victims relent and allow her to, go her way without further punishment. While In Jail Mrs. Hlcken made a good d*al of pin money by concocting a “beauty lotion,” which ahe to ladles who had the price ' ruffleh-nt beauty to match announced that she will give ::ure on "beauty" at the opera house and incidental! ydescribe life in Fulton county JslL I Jyphi the Mary Fletcher Hospital at Burlington, to be treated, and I took their advica.
