A CHINAMAN’S FUNERAL.
Hog Chuck, a Chinaman, who died in
the Almshouse on Wednesday last, was
buried to-day with intere.-ting ceremo¬
nies. The body was incased in a hand¬
some walnut casket, with a plate on the
li 1 bearing the date of the birth and
death of the dead Celestial. The bottom
of the casket was tilled with Chinese
coins, and the body was covered with a
peculiar Chinese prforated paper with
lettering on it. At the grave Rev. Mr.
Lyle rejieated the Lord’s Praver in Chi¬
nese and English, after which a hnfaber
of ribbons which were hound about the
body were removed and thrown upon
the coffin. The casket was then low-,
ered, and sidle the gravel was being
showered upon it the Celestials cas<
meats, rice, tea, baked dough, roast
chicken and a clack bottle among the
dirt. On the way to the grave China¬
men, seated beside tbe drivers, threw
rice and paper along the ground <ra
versed. Ten thousand people witnessed
the ceremonies at the grave. It was in¬
tended to have had some service in the
Episcopal Church, but the crowd was so
grent that it was impossible to get into
the church. Mrfyor King refused to al¬
low 8 New York Chinese band to go in
the procession, and the police stopped
the tiro ceremonies in front of (lie house
from which the deceased was taken to
1 is grave. Nearly all of Ike Chinese in
the city attend* <1 the funeral.—[Fidla

A DUEL AltOUT MHS. FRANK
LESLIE.
On Tuesday morning the Marquis «le
Leuvilie, whose name I had occasion to
mention last week, fought a duel on the
Belgian frontier with a nobleman who
pas supposed to be Lord Anglesy. The
Marquis de Leuville’s real adversary was
CWiht Alfnensegg, well kflowfi in Paris
and the German baths, where high play
prevails in piivafe, if not in public.
Whatever may be stated to the contrary,
the quarrel that led to an encounter was
not a political one, though both parties
would wish it to appear so. Tt arose
from the name of a fair American being
taken in vain by Count Almensegg. The
combatants met near the Belgian town
< f Fumes, The Marquis’ seconds were
MM. Rodocanachi and Vavassour; the
Count’s were two Englishmen, Messrs.
Howard and Vaughan, After some
splendid fencing on both sides, M. de
Leuvilie wounded in opponent in tbe
arm. The latter was conveyed <o Fumes
to an inn that bears an unmistakable
English sign of ‘ Ye Red Rose,” and
shows still traces of the architecture that
obtained ih the days of Y'ork and Tai
caster wnr». The former proceeded to
Boulogne, w henc • he crossed over to
England. The Marquis de Leuvilie is an
Anolo Frenchman, and one of the best
known shots all over the world, Pc was
to have married Mrs. Frank Leslie. The
dutch haa been broken off solely on the
score of religious difference. M de Leu*
ville secedes to the Roman (’afhoiie
Church, while Mrs. Leslie remains a
Presbyterian.
‘ t'CCESS OF THE KEELY MOTOR
A B|>ecial to tbe Now York Herald
from rhiladelphia savr: At the monthly
meeting of the directors of the Keely
Motor Company to-night, the welcome
announcement was made that the nton
ster engine which has been so many
months building was completed, and
that it would be run for the edification
of all stockholders on or before the mid¬
dle of October. President Bnndi.ll and
Trustee Baldwin, Smith and Greene ex¬
pressed thetnselves as highly satisfied.
The treasurer's report showed that the
finances of the corporation were in ex¬
cellent condition, but the amount of
stock still in the treasury could not be
learned. The secretary stated that,
w hereas there were only 900 names on
the books as stockholders in December
last, there were now’ over 1 , 400 . Appli¬
cations for passage on the first train
to New York were received from all
parts of the country, but none have yet.
been entertained. A final inspection of
the machine will he made by the trustees
at the inventors shop.
PRECAUTIONS AGAINST FIRES.
An article which we publish in another
column bom the New York Review is
Lately. For some years past the ffre in¬
surance business has been unprofitable,
and the best- companies have found their
ospettses exceeding their income. It is
not, tbe Review declares, from any lack of
business, lor business is better than it
has ever been before; nor is it from ex
eessire low rates, f«r the companies are
getting very good terms but it is da*
wholly and entirely to the increase in
the number of fires and fire losses. This
is a 6 erious matter to tha whole commu¬
nity. The mere failure of insurance
companies to pay dividend interest*
only a small number of persocs—th*
stockholder* and employe* of the com¬
pany; but mi increased prevalence of
tires and great destruction of property
involves tbe whole people, iu gmt/»]
l arui in P ar, iculsr. If a hundred mil -
j .j on d 0 ]] ;1 rfi 0 f property are swept away
(every ye.r by fire, it is just so
wealth lost to tlie country, anil such
tosses must necessarily compel ths un¬
derwriters to increase their rates and
levy an additional tax on every property
holder.
The extraordinary increase that has
lately occurred in fires, therefore, <le
mands serious attention. Why is it?
We build our houses as carefully and as
safe against fire as years a^o, probably
safer, for iron and brick buildings are
every day , taking . .. tlie .. place , of , wooden .
ZJ ones We verl have elficZ large ZleZtSZ expensive com-
2 and ,“ th re el. is certainty »o — maiked t
crense in in.-endiansm. And, finally,
ihere have been no large tires lately to
swell our losses and yet these losses
amount already this year np to Septem¬
ber 1 to $ 62,500 ooti— a fifth of (he cotton
crop.
A g’ance over the origin ot she fires
), ave occurred dnriDg the past \ear
will probably explain the matter. There
f llg been a wonderful increase in ti e
fires due to carelessness ami neglect
There seems to tie a very general misun¬
derstanding on 1 Vie part Cif persons in¬
sured of their responsibilities to the un¬
derwriters and general public. They
seem to feel that, Kfter they have paid
thfcir premiums, the insurance comnany
takes absolute and complete control of
their property and agrees to guard it
againht all danger from fire; they are
freed from all responsibility; and all
they have to do is to collect the insu¬
rance when their property has been de¬
stroyed.
Such fi selfish policy should not he
encouraged, ami those who believe in
this idea should ba taught that legally
aro responsible for losses from neg
and carelessness. They should take
the same precautions as if they had no
policy at all upon their property; and
few do this. If the present feeling
of irresponsibility continues—if the peo¬
who insure their property continue
believe that the company, not they.
see to its “ofety— the present con
of aflaiis will continue; heavy
from fbe, necessatily followed by
iutrea c ir; insurant;- rates These
people wi”, iL.^fu.c, ha"e to
a fax for their own carelessness, if
do not altogether lose their insu¬
by gross neglect of the most neces¬
precautions against fire.—[New Or¬
Times-Democrat.
