The INSURANCE swindla.

/ {. NJ. Osborn, Esq, of Rock Island.
/ represented fourteen stockholders of the
Republic Insurance Company. in court. in
chicago this week the stakeholder, being
requested 70 show cause why an assess
ment ut 90 per cent should not be made
W do not know that our Davenport stock
holders were represented This Republic
Insurance Company has been. and is. one
OF the most prodlginus swindle~ on record
-DdrGHP0r{ De8tocrW.
The Republic Insurance Company of
Chicago. was organized in 1868 and after
ward increased its capital stock 10 the
amount Of Sj,0)l0Do. which was nearly
All subscribed. Tine company lost abou,
S5,030,O00 by the Chicago fire, and had
only Sl.o00.Ooo on hand to pay with. The
Officers attempted 10 assess the stock
to the amount of $3,O00OO0 10 pay this
sum. y portion of the stockholders paid
their assessments by buying up policies of
insurance at adiscOunt and setting them ofF
against the assessment. The company
sued others and was generally beaten in
the suits. The company is now in bank
ruptcy' and Judge Blodgett claims the
power to assess the stock. The stockhold-
ers resist, denying the power of the court
to make any assessment, and asserting
that the officers of the company have been
specializing in the policies: that the
amounts which they received in such spec.
ulations should be paid over to the com.
pany' and that the assessments are far be-
yond the necessities of the comnanv
The debts have been reduced to about
$3.50, 900, and would only require an as
sessment of say 20 per cent. to payinstead
OF 90 per cent. as the assignee asks. The
assignee is the old Secretary of the Com
pany, and the resisting stockholders think
he has not and does not treat them fairly
IN the matter. Our citizens are interested
to the amount Of some $4,000, and have
employed Messrs Osborn & Curtis. and
Messrs Sweeney & Jackson. to defend
ther rights Suits were brought against
them, sometime since, in the circuit court
Of TINS county which were successfully re-
sisted, and if there is fraud in the matter
we hope the attorneys will be able to show
It, AT all events it seems strange that the |
man who as Secretary, and has. for wears. |
conducted the affairs of the Company. /
should now be the assignee in bankruptcv, I
tor II there are any rotten places he would
probably desire to cover them up.

MOLINE TRAIN WrrHDRAwN. We hear
that, after to-day, the accommodation train
run by the Rockford, Rock Island 4 St
Louis Railroad Company, between this
city aud Moline, will be withdrawn. When
our street cars were discontinued. on ac-
count Of the epizooty, this train was put
on, at the request Of the people, and run
merely to accommodate the public. After
It had been running awhile very large
petition, signed by some three hundred
or more OF the citizens Of Moline, was pre-
seuted to the President Of the road asking
him TO make the train permanent one.
His reply was that it was, of course his
duty to do what was for the interest of the
road he represented, and he would continue
the train awhile, as an experiment, but
his opinion was that when the street ears
resumed their regular trips it would not be
best to make the accommodation train a
permanent one We are not able to say
whether the train has paid well or not
but It is believed that the street cars will
now be able to do the business and the
train is withdrawn. The horses of the
street car company are now in good condi-
ton the worst Of the winter, for inter
ruption to travel, is thought to have pass
ed and it is quite likely that, by the use
OF few more horses, and by making
little quicker trips, thg street car company
can do the business. If not the train NAV.
perhaps, be renewed And it is also ouite
likely that, with the recent disabling of a
locomotive on the Rockford, and the in.
creasing want of locomotives by the com
pany, the one used on the Moline accom-
must be had for the use of
the regular trains of the road We be-
lieve that all the people, both here and in
Moline, will give the President of the R..
r. l. & st. l.. r. R.credit for the effort he
has made for their convenience and COM
fort, and for desire to always do what
he can to accommodate the public,
