AUDITOR'S OFFICE. Insurance Department. ANNUAL CERTIFICATE. (For Publication.) Des Moines, Jan. 0, 1880.

yHEREAS, The CAPITAL INSURANCE COMPANY, looated at Des Moines, In tho State of Iowa, has Hied In this office a sworn statement of Its condition on tho 31st day of in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 4, Title 9, tf the Code of Iowu, A. I), At Work In Their Elegant Now Quarters- An Interesting Re port and Deolslon. Shall Trespassing on the Track of a Rail road be Toleratad Longer and Llf be Saorilloed Thereby. NEED OF A LAW The following synopsis of the report to the Governor by the Railroad Commissioners of the accident on the M. St.

P. Railway, near Ferry, Doc. 17, 1885, Is full of sugges' tlou to the law makers now assembling, and the public generally. It Is understood that with the report was coupled a request that, if thought of sufficient moment, the Governor would make some recommendation looking to a remedy of the growing evil In his torthemv lug message to the General Assembly. THE REPORT.

An Investigation of this accident revealod the following facts; As passenger train No. 3 was approaching Perry from the east on the aftor-noon of December 17, lBs-5, and when about one and one-half miles from the station, the engi ncer, Mr. Robert A. Nlchles, saw a man ahead of him, about a mile away, walking on tho track towards town. When within about a quarter of a mile behind tho man the engineer gave a long whistle for tbe station, and then for a moment gave bis attention to the In lector and sir The fireman, Mr.

W. B. How, noticed that the man did not seem to pay any attention to the histlo, and commenced ringing the bell. This again called the attention of tbe engineer to the man, and he gave several short, sharp, warning whistles and put on the air brakes to check down Ins speed, which was nearly thltty miles in hour, but before the brakes could tako much effect the engine was upon the man, tho pilot tripping him and throwing him back against the head of tbe engino, and killing him in stantly. No possible blame can attach to either the engineer or the fireman.

'1 he engineer has Lad an experience of sixteen years in running an engine; has been fourteen yours In tho em ploy of this company anl has tho reputation of being a very careful, trusty man. Tue Commissioners would tako this occasion to emphasize tbe recommendation made in their annual re port, viz The enaotment of a law malting it a penal offense for any one, not connected with or in the employ of railway companies, to tres pass on tne track. We have been at somo pains to get tho testimony of experienced engineers on this niattor, and tho universal testimony is that it is one of continuous annoyance to train-men, and of imminent danger to thoso walking on the track. Engineers cannot bo expected to slow up their trains for every man they see ahead of them on the truck, if they did, the public would complain because time and connections woro not made. It is takon for granted by engineers thit such persons will step aside in time to avoid being hit.

Many seem, for tho sake of annoying an ergineer, to pretend not to hear tho coming train, and only just at the last momont stop off after the engineer has been put to the trouble and anxiety for their safety, and often as the train would pass by them, they with some motion of the bead and band would give the engineer to understand they purposely annoyed him. As a material result it is takon for granted that all such trespassers will tako caru of themselves, by avoiding in time the coming train. When, therefore, as in this case, a deaf man is the transgressor, he is very sure to bj injured or kllltd. Tho man killed was a Mr. Ed.

Garrity, about 25 years old, and deaf. Ho had repeatedly been warned of the danger in curred by walking on the track. T.0 tbe question do you know of any way to prevent this kind of accident, the engineer, Mr. Nichols, answered; "No sir, only by some stringent law making it a penal olfonse to walk on the track. If I should stop for every man I see walklrg on our track as I do for stock, I nexer could get over the road on time." The same question was put to Mr.

P. M. Plumb, general foreman of the B. (J. division of the road, who had had an experience of 17 yesrs as an engineer, and his answer was, Pass a law prohibiting all persons except employes from walking on the track." Tho commissioners aro unable to see any remedy rcr this kind of accidents only by such a law.

DECISION ON DELAYED SHIPMENTS. A. Evans Onawa, Iowa, vs. Kansas City, St. Joseph Council Bluffs Railroad Company, filed November Slst, 1885.

On the 1st day of November, 1885, A. Evans Co. delivered at tbe freight house of the Kansas City. St. Joseph Council Bluffs R-til- road at McPaul, Iowa, two bundles of chairs, bree boxea of household goods, one safe, one cook stove, (broken), one washing machine, one can and contents, one half barrel and contents, two tubs and three palls nested," which were receipted for, "owners risk reloased." The goods were marked Evans Auburn, Nebraska." The agent of the railroad company riotified the party delivering tho goods that tho charges would have to be prepaid or guaranteed to destination.

On November 2d, the agent re ceived by registered letter four dollars to friight to Auburn, aud ho then wrote Evans to. to forward seven dollars and ton cents more, which would pay the freight to Auburn, and that on receipt of this amount he would immediately forward the goods. On November 7th, the agent recei ved the $7.10 with instructions to ship tbem to Onawa, Iowa, instead of Auburn, Neb. The goods were forwarded and the agont notod on the bill of lad-ing, $8.50 In my hands for guarantee." It appeals to bo a practice among the western railways to require a guarantee of payment on this class of goods. Tho freight charges from McPaul to Council Bluffs were $1.00.

leaving $0.50 of money in the agent's bands belonging to Evans Co. Tho goods reached Onawa Nov. 10th, and on Nov. 11th Evans Co. called for them.

The freight on the consignment from Council Bluffs to Onawa was 47 cents per hundred pounds or $8.01, or a total rem McPaul to Onawa of Instead of being $6.50, the amount left with the agent at McPaul, they were credited when they pa their bill, $4. to. This discrepancy has not been explained by either of tho parties and the commissioners have been left to their own judgment to ascertain of what this consisted. They conclude that it was a charge for traml'or at Council Bluffs of ten cents per hundred pounds. This would make tho entire freight charges $14.30.

The agent at Mcl'aul retained the until Novomber 19th, whon he forwarded on request of Charles Keith, agent at Council Bluffs. This money he says he hold as a guarautee for the payment of the freight charges at destination, tut Evans understood it to be a pre payment of tho charges from Council Bluirs north, nolther party knowing what the freight from Council Bluffs to Onawa would be. Of this fact there can be no doubt. He hold this money belonging to Evans given him for the especial purpose of applying it on the freight, without any effort to do so until it as found in his possession by tracing it up. xne frcignt cnarges ot fi4.su, as at present advised, the Commissioners believe to be the usual rate charged by tho companies for similar Service, and tbe parties wore not discriminated against.

The delay from Nov. 1st to 7th was not the fault of the railroad company. The guods reachedJOnawa on tho 10th; there was no unreason a Ole time consumed in forwarding thpm. When Evans Co. reached there on tho 11th, they might have had their goods by paying tne charges, which they refused to do, and tho perishable articles, it is claimed, suffered in consequence.

We have no disposition to excuse Ihe agent at McPaul, who kept the money of complainant from the 7th until tho 20th, and think this gross negligence on his part should not pass without censure, but do not well see ncer the circumstances bow tney can mauo the company liable, as the owners of the goods did not uso due diligence to protect themselves from harm, and woro themsolvos negligent. he Commissioners have no evidonce furnished them to locate the damage to the table and ashing machine Whothor it was dono in the carriage over tbo C. St. Jo C. B.

road, iu the transfer, or on the N. W. Hy, does not appear. Tho last arricr should bo responsible for this, unless the goods wore received by him In bad ordor; the "owners' risk released" put on the waybill does ntit excuse the oarrier from exorcising oara In bundling goods entrusted to him. We would advise a claim on tho luBt carrier for breakage, and let them show where the fault was, if not theirs.

The spoiling of the kraut, cabbage and apples, and damage suffered in their business could have been avoided, had Evans 4 Co. taken thoir goods when they arrived. Des Moines Iowa, December 31, 18S5.

Tb lortloatloni Good for Many Mora of the HUmbera Arriving To-Day-No Effort Being Spared to Break the Jllockade.

OF THE CANDIDATES. lesterdaywas spent In legislative circles much the fame as Friday had been, no change being apparent to the observer. The delay in the arrival of members prevented any definite action, and most of the time was taken up with the candidates who were urging their claims for the minor positions. So far as could be seen from the surface, no change had taken place In the positions of the differ nt candidates for the Speakership, and the members generally seemed to avoid giving pledges to the candidates for any ot the post tlons. The preliminary business was pretty thoroughly at a standstill awaiting the arrival of the absent mom here.

During the day considerable anxiety was ex pressed regarding the probable arrival of those who were In the districts still snow-bound but as the day continued clear and more en couraging reports came In the general courage rose accordingly. During the day Representatives George H. Clark of Donahue; Di LaForce, Lone Tree; W. G. Kent, Lie; Phil lip Dutz, Scott; and A.

IX Garrett, Mascatltie arrived and were given a warm reception 01 all bands. During the day word was received that a large delegation was storm-stayed at Ames and that an effort would be made to get them through. After a severe struggle tliey arrived at 11 o'clock last evening, tired, cold and hungry but pleased to be through their straggle. Their delegation comprised Senators W. G.

Donnon of Buchanan M. Underwood, Hardin James Dooley, Keokuk and Representatives S. M. Weaver, Hardin L. S.

Gales, Delaware D. L. Lyons, Makaska W. G. Thompson, Linn; W.

W. Cline, Keokuk; R. G. Cousins, Cedar It. S.

Benson, Frank lin N. Densmore, Cerro Gordo S. L. Moore, Boone. Tbey reported having been stuck In a snow drift for 24 hours previous to reaching Amos, and bad been obliged to do with out anything to eat during all that time.

'lhere were a number of women and children on the train, and the prospect looked somewhat dark for thorn, (peclaliy when the stock of coal ran low. It as then determined to take the coal nil Into one car, and tlio 137 passengers lived there together until relief came. Foraging parties were formed and raids made upon neighbor ing farm houses for food to appease the hun ger of the women and children, but the men were obliged to live it through on hope mostly. After reaching Ames they were somewhat bette; situated, and put iu the time of waiting in the formation of a mock legislature, where the most solemn business was transacted and many dreary fiours passed with something less of grief than otherwise might have been. Tha trip from Ames down was comparatively easy and left the road in condition for travel to-day.

They reported the main line as being badly blocked still, though large foices of men were busy night and day with a fair prospect for getting trains through some time to-day. Trains were blocked at both Nevada and Grand Junction, both of which it was thought contained members, though they hni no definite means of knowing. The railroad men were confident of releasing both within twelve hours if the weather continued fair, and their delegations will doubtless reach the city some time to day. The roads In the nerthern portions of the State are all in a terrible bad condition nono of them having turned a wheel since the first of the storm, but In the opinion of these gentlemen who arrived last night the Legislators from that section of the State will nearly all be able to reach the Capital by Monday noon. The opening of the Northwestern and Milwaukee roads which will doubtless bo accomplished to-day, will release the great portion of those from the north western porllon of the State aud the contingent from that portion of the State along the line of the Rock Island will arrive to-day.

It was thought last evening that the main line of the would be clear by to-night aud that will bring in the members from the southern and southwestern portion of the State, This morning's train from the east on the Rock Island will bring a considerable delegation, so that by night the 21st Gsneral Assembly will be pretty well represented.

Elsewhere to-day in The Rrgisteu will be found Ihe annual statement of tho Capital Insuinnce Company of Des Moines, as given In the official certificate of the Auditor of State. We find pleasure in calling attention to it, to say that there is in this company ev erything to commend It to the favor of the Iowa people and to entitle It to their cordial confidence and generous support. It Is a company composed of strong and solid Iowa men, who have no ambition other than to deal fairly with the people and to give to the State of Iowa a company In which the people may find stable and safe Insurance, It was founded by men like the Hon. E. II.

Conger, now the Congressman from this District; Hon, J. Hull, now Lleuteant Governor of the State, and several other strong and popular men. Mr. Conger, who is known in financial and business circles as favorably as in political or public life, is the President, and this in itself is guaranty of solidity, reliability and fair dealing. The Secretary and Manager, Mr.

Teachout, has long been known as one of the best business men of Des Moines, and bas proved very successful as an underwriter. The other officers and directors are of equally sterling character. The Capital Is a company which off jrs to the public safety and fair dealing in insurance. It Is building itself up on solid foundations, and by the fairest and most honorable business methods. We believe It Is going to be a financial Institution of the greatest credit to the State, and that it Is, while not yet two years old, already worthy in every respect of public favor.

It is a Company made up of good men, and devoted Iowa men, who are in themselves Insurance of all that the Iowa people desire In insurance. It is the sort of a Company for the Iowa people to support. We ask attention to its showing as made by the State Auditor, expressing our own pleasure as an Iowan aud a Des Molnser, In seeing so creditable and strong an Institution being rapidly developed and firmly established here In our own State. When Iowa people have such home companies to patronize they should give them their patronage in preference to outside contpanir that do nothing for the State or the people of Iowa except to live upon them.

There has not been for years, a storm of such continued severity In Iowa, and there has never been In Des Moines so many peoplo to suffer under Its Icy grip, as now. The dangers and disastors It has brought to inllroads, and the losses and Inconvenience It has carried to business men, and the annoyance and diappolntment It has imposed upon snowbound travelers, are as nothing compared with the actual distress and want It has brought to hundreds ot suf ferlng families.

While one-half of the city living In houses of comfort and protection havo been Idly complaining of the trivial troubles that havo come with the storm, a largo part of the other half havo been freezing with the cold and starving for food. The people of Des Moines who are always so ready to relieve suffering when It Is known, are for the most part Ignorant of the actual want and distress In their midst. Hundreds of families that would find difficulty to keep the wolf from their door In a mild winter, aro suffering beyond measure In tills present weather. There comes then to-day an appeal from the destitute and the dying, which every pulpit In the city should re-echo, and to which every heart of pity and tenderness should respond. There Is a scinion In every blast of this chilling wpther, more forcible and more unanswera-1 I) mi any words man can speak.

It Is a n. ito appeal to the charity of the public to ro-menioer the poor whom tho Master never forgot Unusual want demands unusual relief, and there could be no more fitting and more acceptable service hold In the churches today than a united niovunent in behalf of tho poor of this city. It Is tree there aro relief societies and agen cies tlmt have been doing all they can, but the needs of the hour exceed the ordinary provisions for relief. There Is a pressing call for extra help, which cannot and ought not to be neglected. There ought to be a thousand dol lars, at least, raised In the churches to-day for this purpose, and much more could bo worthily applied.

In the presence of thU prei-sing need tver1 pulpit in Moines should ring with appeals for help for tho suffering. Every congregation should practice the most tender and kindly precept which the warm heart of the Savior gave to men, and thus show their love for Him by their generous reniemborance of suffering humanity. They can have no higher insphation and no nobler appeal to religious duty than Is found In the destitution and want which tills cruelly bitter weather has brought to so many of their fellow men. To every Chilstiun henrt to-day there should come the tenderly reproachful words of Him whose great heart of love was always open to re lieve tbe suffering of earth, Inasmuch as ye have not done It unto these my brethren ye have not done it unto me." Is there a church that can afford to neglect the sppial that comes from so many hundred sufferers to-day. Is there a congregation that will remember In their prayers tho destitute of the city, but closotyieir pocketbooks to the ciy for help.

Is there a pulpit which has so often proclaimed the gospel of charity, ttiat will not to-day make a warm and stirring ap peal for the practical Christianity that seeks to help the suffering nearest at hand. The l.ord knows there Is a need for all the help which geneious hearts are willing to give. The overseer of tho poor reports a number of cases of grea destitution. Physi cians say that there are several families freezing by Inches In this bitter cold weather. In one part of the city there are houses that have had no fuel for forty-eight hours.

Wholo families In some cases are without provisions and with out money to buy any. Poor, helpless women, whose struggle for employment called thorn upon the streets, were seen yesterday so scantily clad as to be half froen with the cold. Little children were crying in many houses for bread to eat and fire to keep from perishing. These are sad scenes In a chrlstain land and a prosperous city like Des Moines. In tha presence of such want and distress, there can be but one duty, and that Is to relieve It It is no time to moralize over the possible danger of encouraging mendicancy, when help-less women are freezing and little children are staiving.

It is well enough to preach about the penalties of Idleness and shlftless-ness before the storms come, but such talk la more than Idle when whole families are dying from hunger and cold. There Is an Immediate call for help, which every heart of human feelings should answer. If a theusnnd dollars can be raised in the churches to day, the money will cany life and hope to the suffering within twenty-four hours. Let this day which is sitcred to all that is best and noblest in human lite and human history, be consecrated to that greatest of all graces, the sweet charity which like mercy, Is twice blessed it blesses him that gives and him that takes. Full doses of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy will prevent a cold If used ar, soon as the first sj niptoms appear.

9-2t MORE FAOTORIE3. AN INTERESTING MEETING OF THE COMMITTEE YESTERDAY. I'ursuniit to call, the committee appointed at the manufacturers' meeting to confer with parties in the city who are here with a view to locating, met at the Council rooms yester day morning at ten o'clock, and held an Interesting session. The question of location for the contemplated factories was discussed, and It was ascertained that several tracts of laud In various portions of the city could be obtained at reasonable rates. It was also ascertained from members of the Council that re nd: tance of taxes would be granted to parties i-tablishing the nail and tack factory, and also the rolling mill.

The Importance of se-(hiiirg these aud all other industries was fully (ilstiissed, and it was clearly shown that the establishment of factories always increases the wholesale business and general commercial interests of the city where located. It was decided that whether a factory to be located heie is large or small, it should receive proper encouragement from this committee, as It would undoubtedly from all citizens, knowing that large manufacturing establishments often grow from small beginnings. Mr. Stanley being called upon made a most en couraging statement in regard to the profits in the business of manufacturing nails and tacks, and the committee decided to ren der him all proper assistance In securing a suitable location. A sub-committee was appointed for the purpose of conferring especially with the owners of desirable locations aud with the parties desiring to locate heie, with a view to negotiating a purchase.

This committee is 'comprised of Conrad Younger-man, M. U. King, L. Bolton, D. R.

Ewlrg and E. J. Fairall, who will have a meeting at the council room Monday at 2 p. m. It is desired that parties having ground suitable for this purpose, which they will donate for the encouragement of manufacturing, or which they will sell on reasonable terms, will communicate at once with any member of this committee, or of the committee appointed by the Board of Trade, consisting of W.

W. Lyons, N. S. McDonnell and J. H.

Given, or to J. P. Bushnell, Secretary of the Board. The meeting was adjourned to meet at the call of the chairman of the general committee. This waking up of the citizens to the good that will come to the city from the establishment of factories is encouraging, and much good maybe expected to come of it The men who now have the matter In charge are thoroughly In earnest, and no better selections could havo been made to further the interests of the city.

AH have large property Interests here and are also men of public spiiit, to whom the be3t good of Des Moines is a primal consideration. They will spare no effort In securing the location of these establishments at this point, and when they are thoroughly aroused it means success. Tbe truly wise benefit by other's experience and take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for coughs and colds. ONE FOR ALL. When I meet a human face.

The candidates for the various offices were on the ground yesterday in their usual numbers, and put in the day with those inotnbers who were present Nothing definite could be ascertained by them, but a great deal of work was done, which doubtless will have its effect upon the result Miss Kate A. Klindt, of Maquoketa, Jackson County, Is a candidate for Engrossing Cleik of the House. She is capable of doing good work and really needs the position.

From personal knowledge of her work, we know ber to be capable of filling any position of the kind, and trust she will have the generous suppoit of the members. Capt. W. T. Lyon, of Bremer County, Is a candidate for Assistant Door-Keeper of the Senate.

He was a gallant member of the 33d Illinois during the war, and is a zealous, hard-working Republican. He makes a continuous fight for the party every day in the year and is alwajs ready for a call to do extra duty. He would be a reliable official and would serve the Senate faithfully and well. Mr. Wm.

Coalson, of this city, is a candidate for Janitor of the Senate. He is active, prompt neat and tasty, and would keep the Senate chamber neat and clean throughout. He is a Republican of unimpeachable record, and does active work for the party in every campaign. No better selection of a janitor could be made for the comfort and convenience of the Senators aud for resulting good to party Interests. He is a representative of the colored Republicans, and a man whom every Republican cheerfully recommends to the members of the Senate for the position of Janitor.

Mr. Samuel Little, of Guthrie Center, who Is a candidate for Assistant Door-keeper of tho House, has been a resident of Iowa for 50 years, having settled tn Scott county in 1830. He is one of the founders of the Republican party in Iowa, as he was a delegate to the first Republican convention to organize the party, at Iowa City, when we were still a Territory. Judge Dillon aud Hon. James T.

Lane were also delegates to that convention from Scott county. Mr. Little has been a steadfast Republican during the entire existence of the party, has never been a candidate for cflice before, but feels now that he would like to experience a direct benefit of a Republican majority, and he has friends In all portions of the State who would be well pleased to see him Assistant Door-keeper of the House. He would fill the position faithfully and to the entire satisfaction of number of tho House. Capt.

J. II. Fisher, of Clay cwnty, who filled the position of Sergennt-at-Arms of the House in the Twentieth General Assembly with such good satisfaction, is a candidate for re-election. Capt' Fisher will no doubt receive the hearty support of his old acquaintances in the House. It Is very fitting for a Republican Legislature to remember, in the distribution of eflices, men who passed good army records, and whose wouuds have ren dered them unlit for manual labor.

Capt. Fisher served clear through the war, aud comes out badly disabled. All old soldiers will be glad to hear of his re election. Mb. AVw.

Bintnkr, of Drayton, Audubon county, will be a candidate for first assistant doorkeeper of the Senate. Hols an active re publican of good record, lie was a Union sol dier and participated In the battles of Fort Douelson, Shlloh, first battle of Jackson, Mifsiftippl, elegeof Vleksburg, second battle of Jackson, Tupalo, Nashville and Spanish 1 Tkhtjmony Whereof, I have hereunto sub- JUiCd my name and atlixed tho seal of my office" the day and date above written.
