aHec;siaa Against Stokes.


NEW YORK, April 23-The Supreme Court
room was depsely crowded to-day to hear the
decision in motion made yesteruay IN the
Stokes case by District Attorney Phelps: Inc
motion was to set aside the allegation OF errors
made by the defendant attorney. Judge laws AVE
to-day granted the motion. rms decisloh n9
sens Stokes's chances of obtaining new trial.
Ike National Board of Undcrwritcfs.
At meeting of the National Board OF IN
derwriters to-day the following companies were
represented:
From Bangor, the Union; from Boston, the
Fanueil Hall and North American; from Glen
Falls, the Glen Falls; from Springfield, Mass,
the Springfield; from Providence, the Atlantic,
Equitable, Narraganse.t and Providence; from
Hartford, the Orient and Phoenix; from Nell
den, the Merden; from Middletown, the Peo-
ples also delegates from all parts of this State
and from the west and Europe. The Treasur-
err report showed the funds to be in good con
dition. President Oakley delivered an address
congratulating the association upon its pros
perity asserting that its objects were for the en-
hancement of insurance The interests through
out the country were being attended with good
results. He said the Chicago and Boston fires
demonstrated that the insuring in companies
who charge small competition premium on
risks was SO low that wien heavy losses came
they were not able to meet them, and the policy
holders had to suffer. Referring to the Boston
fire he said the total loss is estimated at $70,-
900. On this there was insurance in Massa-
chusetts companies of S35, 600 600, over SIS OO0,
GOO in companies in other States, and over
S4,000000 in companies of other countries, and
OF this amount $36,875,3f3 have been paid,
which makes 65 73-100 per cent. of the entire
losses. Regarding the rates he said that after
the Chicago fire, when it was found necessary
TO advance the rates so per cent. the public met
1t with good feeling and cheerfully acquiescedf in
the advance. The public had learned that the
safety of insurance was not only in capital but
depended greatly upon adequate rates on risks,
which made the companies strong and the poll
cies secure. The average per cent. last year
paid in New York State on the capital invested
was y loo, falling off of four per cent The
reports of committees were read and commit
tees for the next year appointed, after which
the convention adjourned till to morrow.
