pany's agent in this city has purchased the
lot ON the corner Of Ninth and Franklin
streets OIL which once stood the residence OF
the late Hon. john VI. Patton, and which
was destroyed in the great contlagration

floors will be arranged for Offices, or may be
used i'Jr Il iils-cars clearinghouse. The
location is admirable for any light business,
since Ninth street is great thOroughtarc,
connecting this city with Manchester, and up
which runs the city railroad. Other build

ready enhanced value Of property on the
other side Of the river.

SERIOUS FIRE In HARTFORD.

HARTFORD, Conn.,, Oct. 2s-i A. M.
AT eleven O'Clock last evening Gre was dis
covered raging in the western half OF the City Hall
building, In the room occupied BY the Police Court
From the position In which the flames were first
seen II Is suspected they must have been OF incen
diary origin. Though the fremen were promptly
on hand with the entire force OF the department
the nre had gained such head that before il
was conquered BY the noble exertions OF the
department tse entire building, which Is
an old one or brick vered exteriory with stucco
was thoroughly gutted. Only the walls remained
Most OF the contents OF the Police Court room
were removed, and the prisoners and dodgers in
the police station house adjoining the City Hall
were all safely rescued and secured elsewhere.
Damage TO the police station only slight.
The loss in the destruction OF the City Hall, is
greater than by any previous fire in this city since
the burning OF Colts willow works a year ago.
Its amount cannot be accurately estimated nor the
amount OF insurance ascertained this morning.
In the early stage OF the fire the excitement was
intense, fears being entertained that the flremen
would not be able to prevent the spread OF the
flames causing devastating connagration.

Authority OF an Insurance Agent to Bind
His Company.

WASHINGTON, ID. O., Oct. "a, 1873.
No. 49, ALBANY City Insurance Company VS.. Bal
entine. Error to the Circuit Court for Michigan
This was an action on policy OF insurance. Sub.
sequenty to the delivery OF the policy it was re-
turned to the agent who, at the request OF the
insured, endorsed on the margin, "s1O,0oO fire In
surance permitted" and signed his name On the
trial 1t was insisted by the company that the agent
had no authority to make such contract, and
that his action did not bind the principal
of the intended $4,000 fire insurance when
he received the application and delivered the pol
icy, 1t must be presumed that the transaction was
had with reference to that fact and that the mita
tion OF valuation in the policy must have been in
addition TO the $4,000.
1t is here urged that this was erroneous, and
that to SO hold is for the Court to make new con-
tract for the parties. The Court VIII not presume
great an amount on property worth much less. 1t
Is also said that the Court erred In refusing to SUBJ
