INSURANCE NEWS.
Business still quiet, with little of note offer
Iag locally.
The outstanding risks of the Boatman'i
Fire Insurance Company of St. Louis have al
been reinsured in the American Central of the
same city.
One of the losses by the recent New Yorl
fire way steam engine No. 34, which had to b:
abandoned on the street on account of the in
tense heat; cause, lack of water; loss, $6000.
Suit has boon brought to stop further trans
action of business by the "State" Fire Insur
ance Company of Laporte, Ind., upon in
formation filed, showing a large deficiency in
the assets of the concern.
Henry W. Baldwin, of New Jersey Mutual
Life notoriety, is out in an open letter to Stati
(ommissioner Kelsey, denying in detail the
charges made by the latter against him it
connection with the management of that de.
funct institution, and charging Kelsey witt
having brought about the ruin of the corn
pany.
About $125,000 is, so far, the modest amount
of lc al pickings from the Continental Lift
carease. The Boston Journal commento
thereon in this manner: "If this is a samplf
of the methods pursued by officials and law
yers it may well be questioned if these gen
tlemen are giving evidence of a greater de
gree of honesty and honor than the officers of
the company, who have defrauded the policy
holders of their money."
The Missouri insurance report for 1871
ahows 182 companies doing fire and marine
business in that State, against 198 companies
reported last year. Of those now working
twenty-six are Missouri companies, 143 are of
other States, and thirteen are foreign institu
tions. Three Missouri companies have closed
business: the Commercial, through failure
maused by rotten management: and the United
States, and the Mechanics and Lumberman's,
by reinsurance in sound corporations. The
two latter companies will meet their policy
obligations in full and return a goodly part of
their capital to their stockholders.
Mr. Sheppard Homans, one of the defend
ants in the suit brought by Henry I. Pierson,
receiver of the Guardian Mutual Life, has
made answer, in which he denies fully and
emphatically every charge of official connec
tion with the Universal Life, in any shape or
form, during the past ten years; or that he
has "for any transaction therein alleged, re
eelved or agreed to receive any compensa
tion, salary, commission, alleged 'spoils,'
'gains,' 'profits' or any money, directly or in
directly, from said Universal Company, or
from any of its officers, or from any one in its
behalf."
What with the rickety character of the
building, its combustible contents, the
scarcity of water and the abundant surround
infuel, it is not at all surprising that our
West Side fire was a pretty large one. The
wonder is that its sweep was not much
more extended and serious. By common
consent Hale's piano factory was little other
than an eight-story shell of the tinder-box,
tumble-down order, which only needed to be
touched off to collapse into an ash-heap.-[N.
Y. Mail.
And yet three hundred human beings were
employed and at work in this shell when the
fire broke out! What punishment could be too
severe for a man who, to save the outlay ne
cessary to the erection of a proper building,
will thus endanger the lives of his operators?
MI rTING BULL.
we Turns Out to be a College Graduate.
[N. Y. World.]
The mystery that has hitherto shroud
ed the person of the great Sioux war
rior, Sitting Bull, has been removed. In
conversation after dinner with one of
the police officers the other day he said
that he was a native of Fort Garry, and
an Alumnus of St. John's College there
-statements which he himself after
ward confirmed. Several old traders
who have had a look at him declare that
they remember him well as Charlie
Jacobs, a half-breed who attended the
college in its infancy thirty years ago.
This young Jacobs was of Objibway
birth, and was a remarkably intelligent
lad, with ambition to become a "big In
jun." He disappeared from Fort Garry
about 1853. When asked by the police
officerif he recollected anything about
Fort Garry, Sitting Bull laughed heart
fly, and said he knew the principal
people there, among others Donald A.
Smith, the Hudson Bay factor; James
Sutherland and Father Vary, now a
missionary at the Sault. He was also
acquainted with the late James Ross,
Chief Justice of the Riel-Lepine gov
ernment in 1869-70; indeed, he says,
they were boys together. Ross
Was a half-breed, who after grad
uating at St. John's College, went to
Toronto University where he was a gold
medalist. Sitting Bull says his father,
Henry Jacobs, was at one time employed
as interpreter by Father Proulx, on
Manitoulin island, but whether the old
gentleman is dead or not he does not
know. Sitting Bull is thoroughly fam
iliar with French and English and sev
eral Indian languages. He is about 42
or 43 years of age, a medium-sized, ath
letic-built man, of no distinguishing
traits beyond those always found in the
half-breed. He is an excellent conver
sationalist, and will talk on every sub
ject. but his plans for the future.
THE SUEZ CANAL.
It is estimated that the coast at the
mouth of the Suez Canal, at Port Said,
is advancing outward at the rapid rate
of about fifty yards per annum, and
that the necessity for extensive dredg
ing will be greater year by year. Not
less than 937,000 cubic yards of deposit
had to be removed in 1875, while the
,dredging of 161,000 cubic yards sufficed
ln 1871. The British government has
brdered a new survey of the coast be
tween Port Said and the Damietta
.nouth of the Nile, in order to ascertain
the actual condition and the rate of in
Orease of the sand banks, and to see if
&ny plan besides dredging can be adopt
red to check the growth of the obstruc
tions.
WHAT THE POPE WILL DO WITH HIS
MONEY.
IN. Y. Sunday Democrat.]
The total of the gifts to the Holy
Father is 16,475,381 francs. His Holi
'ess will pay 4,000,000 of it into the
funds of the Holy See, 4,000,000 to the -
present and former servants and sol- I
diers who have remained faithful to the
Pope, and their families; 4,000,000 to re- 1
storing monumental churches and in
executing works of recognized utility, b
serving at the same time to encourage A
art and industry; the balance of 4,475,
381 francs will be distributed in subsidies 81
