Tuesday morning, so much of Table
Rock as has been len by the fall OF
seven years ago, tumbled with a loud
crash intothe river. r-
The accident is attributed to the sud.
den expansion and contraction caused
by the recent change of weather and
prolonged thaws-
There is said to be much grief among
the deuizsns of that locality, as Table
Rock was the source of much profir 10
them, being spot extensively visited
by travellers during the summer.
Fortunately no one was injured by
the fall a circumstance which could
hardly have been expected had the ac-
cident happened during the season OF
travel OF course we have the usual
narrow escapes, but we have heard OF
but one which seems either reliable or
narrow.
1t is reported that Colonel Peacocke.
who VIII be remembered In connection
with the Fenian raid, was on the rock
Just before It fell, but was safe In a
house some distance from the scene
when the accident occurred.

NEW York BOARD OF FIRE UNDER
wRITERs.-Ineredse Of Insurance Rates.
Ameeting of the board of fire. under
writers of New York was held on Mon
day afternoon. There was large at
tendance. After much discussion on
the subject of an advance in rates, the
following resolutions were adopted:
ResotUed, That the rates on mercan-
tile and storage risks building and con-
tents,) be subjected To an advance reg
ulated by the following standard, viz:
risks now rated by standard sur
veys and classification of hazards at 50
cents to be written at 60 cents; 80 at 30;
60 at IS; 65 at 50; 20 at IS; 10 at 90; 50 at
loo; s. at los; 80 at lis: 90 at 40; 100 at
LIS; los at $50; with the proportionate
rate for participation policies.
ReSotTedI That 10 cents be added to
the rate on all buildings for the absence
of iron shutters from any part of any
building which the committee on sur
veys report as needing such protection,
and such shutters shall be SO made as
to allow oftheiF being opened from the
outside, and to be also fixed in a man
ner which shall meet the approval of
the committee on surveys.
The using OF rolling iron doors and
shutters on buildings was discussed,
and was strongly opposed by several
gentlemen II was stated that these
shutters and doors are the greatest OBJ
stacles the hremen have to contend
with. 1t is made impossible for the
men to reach the flames and prevent
the spread of fire in warehouses in
which hre has once begun. The re-
cent destruction of Chittenden's store
was given as a striking illustration of
this fact The following resolution was
adopted:
ResoLeed, That, in the opinion of this
board, the use of rolling iron doors and
shutters on buildings Is highly OBJ
jectionable, and that the committee on
surveys be directed to consider any
building, having such doors and shut
ters, as being without shutters.
a resolution was adopted author
izing the chairman 10 appoint a COM
mirfee of i've TO confer with the Stale
Senate insurance committee 10 consid-
er what legislation is necessary to pro-
tect property in the city of New York
from destruction by IRE.
During the session, ii was stated BY
one OF the members, as reason for adj
vancing the rates, that owing to the
heavy losses OF last year, some COM
pauies (the stock of which was quoted
two or three years ago at from one hum
dred TO two hundred and fifty per cent. )
are now actually encroaching upon
their capital.
