Although the police officials were reticent, it Is believed a warning was received that such an attempt would b* made, and step# were*taken to pre vent It. Brooklyn Rapid Transit In specters, Instead of being stationed at second-fare points, also rode on the trains and patrolled the track between the Kensington avenue station and Co-j ney Island.

INSURANCE PEOPLE LIABLE FOR LOSS Though the Home Insurance Com pa ny of New York had sent u check to the Chattahoochee Lumber Company to cancel a fire Insurance policy, and the policy had been returned to the In ■urance people, the supreme court holds that the New York concern Is not absolved from liability. This rather peculiar cas»* came about In a curious way. The Clinttahooche Lumber Company, of Havannah, held policy for $20,000 with the Home In suranre Company on Its big sawmill at Donalsonvllle, In Decatur county. Learning that the risk was t<n» great on the property the Insurance people on February 10, 1005, sent a check ft $1,292.80, premium on one year's In surance, minus one month It had bee of force. It was stated that they re grettei! to cancel the policy, but the risk was too great. The president o the mill dictated a letter acknowledg Ing the check, and stating that he did not blame the cntnpnny. The policy waa mailed to the Home Insurance Company on February 21, 1905, curly In the morning. About 2 o’clock that afternoon th « mill burned down, and t lumber company brought i tlon. The lower court directed verdict for the plaintiff and the cr was carried to the higher court. That court held that the clnuse requiring five days’ notice rendered the Insurann company liable for the face of the pol Icy.

ONE LITTLE CALF CAUSES BIG ROW WINS BJGTAXCASE Will Get Near Half Million Dollars in Back Taxes. OTHER COUNTIES LOSE Said That Hon. Boykin Wright Will Receive Big Fee. Richmond county won Its case for back taxes on 15,00(} shares of Western Railway of Alabama stock held by the Georgia Railroad, and that county and the city of Augusta will get close to half a million dollars thereby.

The supreme court handed down a decision upholding Richmond's claim against Greene* Taliaferro.
