F. J. Maxwell, the adjuster of the Bloomiugton Mutual Life Benefit associa tion, has Just returned from Metropolis, 111., which place, as we stated some time ago, was Uie scene of a bold and for a time successful syudicate organized for Uie pur pose of defrauding Insurance companies. Capt Maxwell has been giving the matte bis personal, and almost exclusive attention since the unearthing ot the swindle, and dally turns up uew evidences of fraud The captain says that the syudicate had been In existence about eighteen months and had succeeded lu swindling old line companies as well as mutual companies. The syndicate comprised the agent ot the respective cetnpsnles, the two medical ex aminers and six other citizens, all of whom have heretofore borne the beet ot reputa tlons and were beyond suspicion.

They have been systematically gambling upon tbe lives of the aged and feeble people of their community, Capt Maxwell whose duty It Is to prevent fraud from creeping Into the work of the company he represents, received an anonymous letter giving hlin a "pointer," and by a little shiewd work he obtained a clue, and gradually unraveled one of the greatest swindles that ever was perpetrated in Illinois. His company was carrying pel-cles in that locality airifreiriitlnif about (5.400 of which was fraudulent and has been paid. Ho Is confident that Uie company will recover this money back, a me memtiers or me syndicate are weaiiuy. taut Alaxwell lias also found Uiat poli cies in his company atyregutlng about tMu.UUU were procured throuah fraud, and lia To-cured all these policies and turned thetuei to uie company, tins leaves mis company interest in mat viciimv aooui Tbe Northwestern Mutual Lite Insurance comiwuy, of Milwaukee, an old line com pany and one of the wealUiiest companies In iitry, nau neen oerrauueu to uu amount of gSO.oUO, 0,000 of which had been naid. and was in the act of paving S8.outi when Capt Maxwell uiade the discov ery, air.

The Dourlass I. fo uietirance comnanv. of Chicago, had seven iiolluius, aggiegatina $19,000, and was In the act of pa lug out when Mr. Maxwell's discovery was announced.

All of these policies were pro cured through fraud, save one of 63,000. the Licavueor frotectlon. of Ashley. had issued about in nolleies. but as yet they have unt given the matuv attention.

mis Hjimicaie, tne capuun says, would mure old iK-ople, ranging in age from 65 to i years, that had been invalids for years. l'liev would make out clean policies and give their ages mm SO to 65 yours, and then policies would nave passeo. tueniost seruun- zing Lueuirm uirecioi. a uuiuuvr oi igetl people were found Insured. and matte affidavits that thev knew notlilng of it.

In some Instances old persons were solicited IMilicies taken out and axslened to the syntii-cate with lie agreement that the family was to have 3 a week, and on the death of the assured 15 percent to go to the widow. One instance Is given. An old man who had been sick a year with dioimy was Insured, and on June 6, just a month after insured.

His age was given In as 54 years, when really ho was TH. His deatli was not proven up till a year had elapsed, mid the uriHifx of Ills death showed that he died June 5. 18t4, the Idea being that, if the loss was proven too soon after the policy was taken out fraud might be suspected and the matter inquired into. maxwell procured amaavirs from eighteen old persons, on whose lives poli-eies had been taken and who made oath that ihey did not know that their lives were in sured. Their ages range from 63 to 75 years, ind about half of them are continued tn-vii i "nil they are all liable to die within a year or two.

The oitoffice Struggle at Sayb ook. At Saybrook the forces are being massed for a mighty struggle for the postofliee, which pays (ViO to 075 per year, out of which the postmaster must pay his deputy ind rent tuel and other running exj ensea, Almost every place the size of Soybiook has someone successful man who is generally admitted to be the boss the leader In all public Improvements, and the most Inllu-ential man in many respects In the community. This position in Sayhrook Is un doubtedly held by Or.

Crigler. He is the ton of shrewd, successful old farmer near town, who saw that free soil was overhuug wiUi a better moral, social and political atmosphere In which to bring up children than slave-cursed territory, and who thcrofore moved from a southern state many years ago When l)r. Crigler was a very young, young man, nothing more quickly caught bis eye than two rows of pretty teeth displayed when smiles parted rosy lips, especially If the whole outfit was owned by a pretty girl. And his Interest In molar topic grew till be became a dentist. He hung out his shingle In Say- brook.

Wlien ue was not uusy pulling teem lie ciphered around on trades and schemes in village property, and from nothing lie has amassed a fortune or sin.uuu to and is yet scarcely more than lie is fond ot the game of local politics, and though he is a democrat and Cheney's Grove township is republican, bis shrewdness and popularilj enables him to take a trick now and then. His political gaze is now fixed on the lower house in Springfield, and they do say that there is an understanding between the Hon. Simeon H. West, the present able minority representative-from McLean county, whose home is iu anadjolnlmr township, aud Dr. Crigler, by which Mr.

West Is to abdicate at the close of his current term of offloe lu favor of Dr. Crigler, But about the postofliee. The doctor has two brothers-in-law in Sayhrook Marion Kollick, whose wife Is a sister ot Dr. wig ier's wife and Al Mace, whose wife Is the doctor's sister. Their resjiective friends are pressing each forward fi the position provided, of course, that they can "turn the rascals out." the "rascals'" being Hev.

and Col. Peter Wallace and his wife, and Charlie Yszel, the deputy, who run the neatest nicest, and, in coin weather, the warmest jiostofllce. In central Illinois. Mr. Follick lias been engaged In mercantile business) with and for Say brook merchants for years.

Mr. Mace is a gentleman of eleeant leisure, and acquainted with everj body, a man who has no pressing business interests that would prevent him giving tho postofliee his personal attention. Dr. Crigler Is undoubtedly the man who can sav what demiierat If any. shall have the Sayhrook ruistiti ce.

and ne wou a seem to oo piaceo Histoltlce. ann ne between two fires, since two members of his family want the place. But he is fertile In resources, and will no doubt get one or the other off the track. Al Mace's friends are boasting to confidential friends that Al has tile innilenceoi lion, auisi aieveiison. nun.
