ACCIDEEF Insurance COMPANY, COLUMBUS,
lOHIo.-A NoBLE AoT. Our readers have not
forgotten the terrible accident last week, by
which Charles Richey, a carpenter engaged in
jbuildins a bridge on the railroad, lost both
his legs, nor the strong sympathy manifested
by the community for the unfortunate Young
man, thus suddenly and forever disabled, and
disqualified from pursuing his ordinary bnsi-
Wbo a. 4
he hopalessuess of the future, to one thus
dreadfully situatedi Yet in the darkening and
gloomy cloud there are occasional CLEANS OF
sunlight SO it was with this afflicted young
man, this forenoon. Mr.. Ritchey had abou
concluded to secure compensation policy
for 81 per week, in the Accident Insurance
Company of Columbus, Ohio, and had taken
some OF the preliminary steps, but had ne
elected perfecting the same, probably from
want of means to pay the premium So was,
the frghtful accident came suddenly upon
him and that comfort and support that mo
ney will give 10 all in the time OF disaster
was legally denied him. But it gives us ex
treme pleasure to announce that the Execu.
i've Committee on having the subject brought
| 10 their attention, at once directed the agent
of the Company, Dr. Walden, 10 pay Mr.
Ritchey compensation at the rate Of $l5 per
week. Asintimated, the afflicted young man
was ehee.ed somewhat this forenoon by the
agent handing him $50, partly anticipating
payment, as but one week has supervened
since the accident ft-i1tY
In conclusion, we must be permitted to say
that it seems TO us very unwise for people to
neglect making adequate provision against
accidents that every one knows are of daily
occurrence, Do not procrhstina'e, or put OF
till to morrow what ought TO be cone to-day.
Get your Policies, and get them now, and
then yoar claims for compensation will be le.
gal and tho magnanimity oi the company need
not be appealed TO ip your BEHALF as every
one must see that the Company, although SO
handsomely responding, could not for mo-
ment consent thai the kindly act should Ss
oonsidered precedent for future action.
