TIE INSURANCE LAM.
BANGOR, Feb. !, 1873
, the Editor of the Kennebec Journal:

To the Editor of the Kennebec Journal:
The remarks of your contributor in yester-
days paper on the subject Of ''The Insurance
Law" seem to call for brief reply. The
writer seems to be but partially acquainted
with his subject, otherwise he would hard
ly make the comments which his communica-
ton contains With single exception, the
insurance law of Maine is generally regarded
as it is in reality, one of the best of all the
States, and with the amendments now pend
ing before the legislature believed to be open
to little or no unfavorable criticism. Free
from all superfuous and unfriendly provisions
from all exaction of taxes and large fees, and
from all retaliatory extortions, the law is in
deed model to be commended. The single
exception referred to is that portion known
as the "Fox law" forming the 18th and 10Th
sections. These provisions were enacted
many years ago, before the Department Of
Insurance was established, when all kinds of
companies were at liberty to practice here,
and the enactment was found necessary to
guard against their frauds and techn;calities.
To honorable and fair dealing companies, the
provisions never afforded any cause of Of
fence, and hence such companies in all
abundance seek admis sion here, and never
meet with any difficulty from them. On the
establishment of the Department, the Com
missioner sought repeal of the Objectionable
passages as unnecessary, but the legislature
thought otherwise. tits, however, regarded as
Of little importance, as the principal features
objected to are now held by the United States
and State courts to be part of the common
law of the land.
The amendment, now before the legislature
are designed to cure certain defects in the
present code, and have been drawn with great
care and are believed to be free from all objec-
ton. The law as it now stands and as pro-
posed to be amended is no ''one sided affair, ,
but treats foreign and domestic companies
alike, except that it frees the former from all
taxation, while it imposes tax on the stock
Of its own companies. In cases of insolvency
the new law applies the same remedy to both,
enjoining the home company and taking away
its license from the foreign. The other
amendment proposed, establishing fire in
quests is an altogether new provision in the
laws of this country and is unknown in Eng.
land. The most salutary results in stopping
incendiary and fraudulent fires are anticipated.
In spite of all the scandals such as your
contributor alludes to, Maine has
reason to be proud rather than ashamed of
her laws in this as in other branches of her
domestic policy. ISs. Cow.

ach, accompanied with acaity and belching OF
wind. These symptoms usually originate from a

liver. Persons so affected, if they take two
heavy colds and if the cough in these cases be
suddenly stopped, the lungs, liver and stomach
clog, and remain torpid and inactive and before
the patient Is Of his situation, the lungs are
mass of sores, and liberated, and death is the in

A Dutch Estate.

To-day It Is Holland that has n for
tune In store for American heirs. In
1910. Sarah Weber. Of Amsterdam,
entailed G3S. 900 to the third genera.
ton of her descendants. Wolfert Web
Der, to whom the amount became due,
forgot to Claim it-a most ~extraordtn-
airy oversight-his children e~migrsted
to this country. and the will was for
COTTON. The cash remained with gov
ernment, was invested at three per
cent, compound interest, and Is now
figured at fifty millions. As soon as a
complete list OF the heirs is obtained,
this snug little inheritance will be
handed over. Last week a meeting
was held at New York, at which a
special committee was appointed to
work the case up. Fortunately, WASH
ington Irving, In his tales Of the Van
Worts. the Van Tassels, and the Van
Wrinkles. of Sleepy Hollow, the Cats
kills, and other classic Dutch villages
Of the Hudson Valley, has given con-
siderable space to the Weber family ;
and there Is little difficulty In tracing
their genealogy from tho time when
the pioneer settlement OF the Nieuw
Netherlands first echoed to the rasp-
Ing harmony Of o Low-Dutch psalm,
I'D to the present date. Therefore the
descendants flatter themselves that
they have a pretty sure thing on the
fifty millions. IL any Of our readers
are akin to the Won Webbers, let them
make q note OF this. The sum isn't
equal to that Of the Aneke Jams estate,
Of which $40, 900, 900 Is In Holland.

Fatal MInIau Accident Oh Hdty Mil.
tFromtne Eurck, Sentinel; Oct. 2s.l

tFroAthe Eureka Sentinel; Oct. 2s.l
At about / o'clock yesterday morn.
Ing, an accident occurred in the Rich
mond mine, by which William Martin
Thomas was instantly killed, and Will
liam Wately and Patrick Egan severe
ly Injured. The particulars Of the sad
affair, as related to US, are about as
follows: Five men-to wit: Patrick
Egan, VIM. NJ. Thomas, VIM. Byrne,
VIM. Moore and VIM. Wately-were
working In q DRIFT or breast on n Of
the lowest levels. Some distance above
them on an entirely different level,
John Calligin and Matthew O'Brien
were engaged In blasting. When ready
to put OFF q blast, at the time named,
they sent word to the men below to
get out Of the way. Unfortunately
the men below did not consider there
WAS any danger, and accordingly
failed to heed the warning. Huddling
together in q stooping or sitting pos
ture. they awaited the result OF the
blast overhead. In a few seconds the
explosion was heard, and simultane.
| ously several tons Of rock came down
on the unfortunate group. AS already
stated, Thomas was instantly killed.
| He was covered up to a depth OF two
or three feet, and never breathed. we
believe, after being taken out. One Of
| his arms was broken and his head and
| shoulders showed severe bruises. Egan
was also covered BY the cave, though
not to as great u depth as Thomas. AS
soon az the miners could procure lights
they began to dig away the debris
aud soon discovered that Egan was
still alive. Seeing him move his hand
the miners stopped digging and care
fully unearthed him by drawing the
| dirt from about him with their hands.
Strange to say he was but slightly ill.,
jured, having received but a few cuts
and bruises about the head. He was
able to DO out yesterday and Will
probably be able to resume labor In Q
few days. Wately, though not cover
| ed up, received serious wounds and
bruises about the head, arms aud shoul-
| dsrs. He was confined to his cabin
yesterday, and at last accounts ap-
peared to be suffering great pain. II
not injured Internally, however. there
Is no doubt Of his recovery. The other
two men (Byrne and Moore) who TEL
In the Drift at the time Of the accident
escaped almost, II not quite, without
a scratch. The news OF the accident
soon spread through the mine. and
there were In = remarkably short time
many brave miners ready and willing
to do all In their power to alleviate
the suffering OF their co laborers.
Patrick Rosslter. the foreman of the
mine. was promptly on hand, and did
all that Kindness could suggest for the
relief Of the Injured men. The YER
diet Of the Coroner's Jury was to the
effect that deceased was a native Of
Cornwall, England, a married man,
aged about % years, and that death
| resulted from carelessuess In not fol-
lowing the Instructions Of the foreman
to always leave when informed Of
danger. Mr.. Thomas had lately built
a new house OH Ruby Hill and sent for
his family, which we have been In
formed Is now on the way from Eng.
