and up Moulton to Exchange street he flew as

that famous horse, he made the people stare.
On rounding into Exchange street, the wagon
to which he was attached, slowed and struck

the sidewalk Fortunately no one was hurt
and the freak of the horse was ended.

OBEDIENCE TO LAW.

The same spirit of insubordination
which leads men and officers to ignore
and trample on the laws of Vermont,
where they regard them impolitic, has
broken out in our neighboring city of
Troy, New York, where for political
reasons, the common council, has in
violation of the law of the
state, refused to hold a meeting since
the election of Mayor Kemp, some three
months ago, so that he could not send in
his nominations of the subordinate of
ficers of the city government. The
common council of Troy has demo-
cratic majority. The old officers are all
democrats, and they hold over until new
ones are appointed and confirmed
Mayor Kemp is republican, and it
might well be supposed that he would
nominate his party friends. The law
provides that it shall be the duty of the
mayor to select suitable and proper per-
sons to fill the Offices to be confirmed by
the common council, and to nominate
them to said common council for its con-
firmation. Any person so nominated by !
the mayor to fill any of the offices NAM
ed. and to be confirmed by the common
council shall be deemed to be confirmed
by said common council from the date
of his nomination, unless within ten |
days, the said common council shall, by
q vote of two-thirds of all the members |

of the firm. The embarrassment of
Fisk 81 Hatch he could safely say had
not been caused by loaning money on
hazardous enterprises. The house has
not speculated or met with loss. The
trouble has been produced by the gene
raj feeling of distrust in regard to
moneyed Institutions, which precipitated
a demand upon the firm which they had
not sufficient time to meet. He would
make no statement at present which he
might be called upon to retract. He
hoped for the best, and thought if the
firm was allowed to manage the business
of the house without interference every
creditor would undoubtedly be paid in
full. The announcement of the failure
of Fisk & Hatch, which was followed
rapidly by the reports of the suspension
of the other firms mentioned, caused
| considerable excitement on the street,
and the scene in Wall street and its
neighborhood has probably never been
equaled since Black Friday in 1869.
Rutland weekly herald. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1859-1877, 1873-09-25

The CAUSE OF THE FAILURE OF Fisk
q HAToH.-When the suspension of
Fisk 81 Hatch became generally known
many of the friends of both parties Wis
tied the office and extended the warmest
sympathy to them in their misfortune.
Mr.. Hatch, when questioned regarding
the causes which led TO the suspension
of the firm, said that the trouble had
been produced by a lack Of confidence
In railroad enterprise and the extreme
stringency in the money market produced
by the late failures. The general dis
trust brought about by the embarrass-
ment of such a well known firm as Jay
Cooke d Co., Mr.. Hatch said, had
caused great demands ON their house,
which came so. suddenly and unexpected
that they could not be readily met.
There was no time left in which to OBJ
tain money from the assets of the firm
or get any funds due them. He could
not endeavor to give a detailed state
ment of the liabilities until he had calm
" considered thewhele situation in con-
nectlon with his partner and the friends

full agents, and does not resort to clap
trap and falsehood to obtain business.
We think the closing paragraphs OF
the foregoing letter deserve attention by
reason of their being too narrow a view OF
a great subject 1t is the privilege and
should be the duty of every policy hold
er and person intending to take a policy,
to make himself familiar with not only
ratios, but of what the assets consist,
and he may carry his Investigations a
good ways in that direction, when he
finds such items as ''Office Furniture,
S13, O00." Then we do think that these
cestuis q,Je trust of Life companies have
a decided interest in the details of the
expense account, and that they should
check all extravaganza whether in osten-
tatious displays, extravagant salaries
and commissions, or Interpretations
of trust funds in paying the expenses of
grand excursion of agents and their
friends, with the ct ceter0s of a cham
pague supper at Delmonico's. We fully
approve oI Lile 1ilSuIdHCe III us Sill
plicity, and we honor Life Insurance
agents who do their duty by the public,
as well as the corporations they repre-
sent; but we contend for the right of
policy holders to know what is done
with their money, and that all attempts
to satisfy them with estimated ratios
should be spurned until they fully I'M
derstand the details of the account from
which the ratios arise, and that above
all, extravaganza and useless expendi-
ture in the administration of an import
ant trust should receive a decided public
condemnation.

of people, variously estimated at from
5000 to 1000. Thursday morning,

mares with their colts were entered to
contest for the premiums. l think l
