Dr. Ashley, pastor of tlie Uethcl A. M. church, I the oldest colored chuich here, was dis- losedye.terday. Charges of ftwd, in the TJcinity of Bald hill and on implicating Mary Uogencarop, a white Ok the road, caused by a remark- S' rl years old, was luade against him.

ablj bold and Digit handed proceedings by An investigation was begun yesterday gang of highway robbers who have before Prctiding Elder Shirley. It was pretty reckless in their dealings in this continued all night and till noon Tictnity and drawn the attention of the city police towards them in their effort to apprehend the rascals. The TRIBUNE refrained from nuking public the situation in the hopes that the police might be able to catch the rascals. THE FIRST APPEARANCE The first appearnnce of the desperadoes Wu last Saturday night, when three roei fo ft lumber wagon, just OTer the hilt the Morris farm, were held up. They were going along when two men, onesbor and the other taller, with black cloth over their faces, through which holes were cut for the eyes, and j-weanng long coats or etoakB, suddenly ttprang up beside the road, with revolvers in their and with savage oaths ordered the men to stop and throw up their hands.

The driver was so scared that he whipped up horses, and away they went, pelt mel down the road. The road agents, with after them, but the crowd es caped. TUB VICTIM. Last Wednesday night Mr. Sewell, Almond, a Stock dealer, who usually has a great deal of money with liimi, was holt np by the strange coupje, at Goff's bridge, on the same Almond road, abou half way to that village.

He was driving along when two men sprang up, both masked, one grasping his horse's head and both covering him with revolvers ordered him to throw up his hands and get out which he did. Then as one cover ed him with his gun the other wen through his pocVcts. All they found waj $2 in money and a silver watch. "With an oath he to take back the He supposed they were going to take his horse, but finally they ordered bin: to get into his buggy and net fetop or look back or they would shoot him. He obeyec with alacrity, and overtooK one wan on foot just returning from the city who hac passed the bridge shortly before but nothing of the men, tie had $150 on his persen, the proceeds of produce sold.

TUB NEXT Last night Frank Sauter, the owner of the half way house, on the Canisteo roact, going home, and when he was at the "narrows" just beyond Hendershott's, he net two men in a buggy. He saw them reach up to their hats and pull a mask down over their faces. This mask was a Mack cloth with holes cut in for They drove up to him with drawn revolvers and with curses ordered him to throw up his hands.JHe drew his revolver, but his horse got frightened and lunged around and finally passed them on the jump, They fired at him but failed to hit him, DBN Bald Hill is a prominent elevation to the west of this city. When this valley was a lake that hill was an island, the valley running all around ii On the west side is a known as the Doorley place. It is a lonesome spot surrounded by woods, and a lonely, almost abandoned highway runs by it, but the old house sits far back from the road.

Mr. Patten uses the place to some stock, and last Thursday he was Aver there. During the time when the R. H. R.

R. wag oeing built some one bad occupied the house and went away leaving an old stove and some few things there, but it had remained vacant since. Some onejhad left the gate optn whkh annoyed Mr. Patten and seeing a smoke from the house he went up there to expostulate. Me tried to get in but the doors wore all fastened and finally he began to push when there came the report o( a revolver from the inside and a bullet whistled bts head, lie left very precipitately.

Ashley was afco charged itli frequenting the police court and hawking jewelry, for prisoners in order that they might pay their fines. Plain to bj Dtadrlch. VI. THE DIMDEND, in til our thus far we have taken no account of the dividend, al though a very important element in the policy. About all of the old line companies in their organization are mutual; that every policy holder becomes a stockholder of the company, and thereby becomes a sharer in whatever profits there may be.

The officers arid agents of company are simply ftmployees of the policy the stockholders. The manner of paving this dividend is the chief difference among companies, and should be well understood, and caremily considered by every one bu- fore he takes out a policy in any coiupar.r. are three methods of making dirj- stoye was warm, the remains of chickens and food was found around but no one was there. Two men had keen seen by pome passers by breaking wood several days before. Tiie officers found a railway lantern, The glass was cracked 'out held in place by election pasters gummed, and bearing the name of They also found remains of canned The label had been from the cans but they were Identified by Mr.

Kniekem of this cttr as of the missing gujds probably taken from bis Diligent search is now being made for the rascals. (1) Declaring the dividend annually, (2) tontine, (3) semi tontine, which iis only a modification of tbe tontine. 1, The Annual the cnu of every year, by this method, a cerla per cent dividend is declared. Thiij not estimated on the face value of tlie policy, but on the amount each policy holder jiaii 1 pieuiititns The first ytar it i scarcely anything but increases from to yeir i it may even e'jual the amount of nnnusiilj' paid in. ThU dividend can cither be applied t) one's pit- imuin reducing that front ysar (o Tear; 01 it be taken in cash or it intiv remain in the hands of the company where it will draw compound interest to be drawn at any future time, or be It ft as a fund from which future iiew'mms may bt paid; or it may remain uriiil the death of the holder when it will be paid with its accumulated interest with the face of the policy.

and Sd, Tontine and Semi-Tontine-These policies are written for a certain number of years (10, 15, or 20 years). The method is simply for the policy holders to pool their for the number of years written in the policy. Take the years policy. All the holders of those policies agree that there shall be no dividends made until the expiration of the 20 fears, when those remaining will divide up all the accumulated funds. The disadvantage, if not injustice, of these policies, although many of our write them, is that alt those who die lore the expiration of the 20 years lose nil their which remain in the pool and are divided up by the survivors.

The difference between the tontine and the semi-tontine is that in the tontine if a man should carry his policy for )8 years and then allow it to lapse, that is, eeaae to pay lia annual premium he would forfeit his and lose every dollar he paid in, and should he die his family would not a cent The evident injustice in such )oliciea, has brought them into bad repute, so that they have been modifled into the semi-tontine which is the same as the ton- only that the policies are non-forfeitable. One form of these policies is that in 20 payment policy every premium aid would be a credit of $-0 on every hoiisatid insured The writer has such a wltcy before taken out at the armmil being $27 in 2" annual Now every time the holder this policy pays it addn to the p'mj THE STEfeT RAILWAY, THE ORGANIZATION PERFECTED AND MONEY PAID to be Kuanlnr Bunuaer.
