THE report of the Insurance Commissioner
of Connecticut is an inflated document, Dol
in length and statement, if we are allowed
to judge from its figures mployed to prove
there is no other course for insurance COM
panies than to maintain the present rates.
For instance the report says that the loss by
the Gait wharf fire in this city August I'd,
1873, to the underwriters was $1,420,OO0!
Now the report of the Chief Engineer of our
fire department says that the entire loss by
fire for the municipal year 1884 was 1914
485, and the total amount of insurance on
this property was $4,000. The actual in
surance on the property destroyed by the fire
of August I'd is given at $158, 700. If all the
losses of underwriters published, have been
multiplied by ten to give figures to base the
argument for the present rates of insurance
it is about time that the statements of COM
panies be inquired into. The other figures
of the losses by fires may be correct, but if
Portland rates are in any way affected by the
reckless statement of an official who appears
as special advocate for insurance interests,
it is high time that he was set right.

ST LOUIS puts in a claim for the coolest
man on record. One evening last week as a
doctor was making his way homeward along
a deserted street, he was accosted by man
who quietly asked him is he knew ''a doctor
about here anywhere" A glance at the in
terlocutor showed that his throat was cut
from ear to ear, and that he was drenched
with blood. The doctor sewed up the cash,
tne man meanwhile entertaining him, says
the report, with all sorts of quaint remarks. y
he would not give his name nor tell how he
received the cut. Now we shall have Chicago
coming forward with story of man with
MS neaa cut entirely off accosting t,oo doctors
al dead OF night, and making fun while they
replace it on his shoulders.

AN insurance decision has just been rem
dered by Judge Drummond of Chicago
which is of interest to both underwriters and
policy holders. A merchant of that city had
flre insurance policy which expired few
days before the great fire in October, 1871.
He met the solicitor and told him to renew
it. The solicitor made the reply 'sall right .
at the same time making an entry in hi.
book Shortly after the building was de
stroyed by fire. Judge Drummond ruled
that as the policy provided that there should
be no renewal without payment of premium
there must be satisfactory evidence that the
company agreed to waive the payment. The
evidence showed that the solicitor had no
power to waive payment. and so there was no
renewal.
