LIFE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA-ANNUAL
MEETING OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE VIRGINIA
DIVISION fourth annual meeting of the
trustees of the Virginia Department of the
Life Association OF America was held last
evening at the Office of the company, on Main
street near Eleventh.
On motion, Mr.. R. E. Blankenship was
called to the chair and Colonel John Is. Cary
appointed secretary. ,
The secretary read the report Of the Board
of Directors, which was adopted. 1t ap-
pears from the report that since the organ'za-
ton of this department. three years ago, 1t
has loaned nearly $4,000 to its policy-hold-
ers in the State on unincumbered real estate
appraised at an aggregate of S1SO,O0O. The
annual interest on these loans for 1874
amounted to S3,4l2.66.
Comparing small things with great, the
business of this department in 1S14-a much
less propitious year than 1S73-compares not
unfavorably with many Of the older and
larger companies. There were forwarded
from this department in 1874, 142 applica-
tions for insurance TO the amount o! S519, ,oOO,
Of which "a applications III per cent? were
declined; and 11S policies insured S4l4, 300.
Total amount of insurance In force Decem-
Der 81, 1874, 81, ,343,7S0. Premium-receipts
for the year, $25, 900, being an increase OF ~
per cent. over the previous year. Death
losses for the year, So 900; which was paid
to the representatives Of the insured, one OF
whom had paid $500. and the other S3O.S0.
In 1873, 9,724 death-losses, amounting to
more than So, 200, 900, were paid BY ifty-nine
companies reporting in New York. Allowing
five persons to family, about 30, 900 persons
were the recipients Of this benefit. The
money annually sent from the city of Rich.
mond compounded at six per cent. interest
would in half a century exceed $50, 100000
more than the present taxable wealth of the
| city.
| The report also gives some interesting sta
tistics concerning the value of taxable pro.
| perty in Virginia, Richmond, and Boston
viz In 1874 the city Of Boston was worth
| more than the taxable value of all the real
and personal property in Old Virginia in
| 1860, including the value OF slaves under
twelve years Of age and other property not
taxed. The city Of Boston in 1874, eXclud,
| ing large amount Of property not taxed,
| was worth S74S,000, 900. at the present ra.
tio of increase in Richmond it will be worth
| In 1920 S79, ,000, 600 hat Boston was worth
| in 1S35-forty years ago.
| Ten years ago there were only three COM
NAMES. which had more assets, and one more
insurance, than the Life Association has now
It stands the twelfth company in amount ol
business in the United States, though only
six years old.
| The trustees next went into the
election OF directors for the current year
and the following gentlemen were elected
Messrs. f. l.. Hobson. John 6. Spots, An
drew l.. Elicit, Robert 81. Maury, Robert +
Blankenshp, Peter G. Warwick, Thomas
Branch, Johu X. Chidlress, Robert B. Lyme

goods. They turned on the gas, and alter
making such selections of hams, saTdineS,
champagne, whiskey, cigars, and large
number of superior turkeys which laa been

previous, made fire in the stove, when Is
at the rear Of the house, and drank cham.
pagre and smoked cigars to their hearts
content. After this they departed wlth their
booty through the same door by which they
had forced an entrance.
Persons passed the house while this rob
berry was being perpetrated, aud saw several
individuals in the store, but did not suspect
anything improper was going Oh, as the gas
was burning at the time. They stole all the
money that Mr. Kidd had in the house, and
the whole affair was so bold, and managed so
adroitly, that persons living directly over
the store did not hear them, nor did they
know anything of the theft until after the
store was opened yesterday morning.
