A SINGULAR SPECULATION.

an old wager, laid in the last century,
is rapidly approaching decision. The
Tontine Association was incorporated in
New York in 1894, at which time two
hundred and three subscribers contributed
81 each to common fund for invest
ment. Each member nominated some
young and healthy person, DUNG whose
life the subscriber or bis heirs would re-
ceive the profits of the investment. in
other words, each ''put up bis money"
on some ones life. The property pUr-
chased was lot on the corner of Wall
and Water streets, upon which a coffee
house was at first erected, and subsequent
ly other buildings, from the rent of which
a handsome div idend has annually ac-
crdcd to the subscribers. By the terms
of the asso cation division of the
property, which is now valued at $3.50,
600, WIS to take place when death had
reduced the number of nominees to seven.
At the beginning of the current year, the
euryivors numbered thirteen, one CT whom
was the nominee of Mr.. Nathan Bond, OF
Boston. Since the LIST of January, how
ever. five have disappointed their hackers,
among them Mr. Bonds nominee, and the
list has dwindled to eight, with one ole
lady of eighty-siX uuaccounted for. Tho
shares have mostly been bought up by
two or three gentlemen, so that the ex
citement of this closing heat IN the race o.
life is somewhat diminished, elthOugf
there will yet be no little interest to not'
the result of this novel wager.
