600 by the defaleation of c. A. Church
the head of their ribbon department.
Church has left The city.
\ member of the Board Of Under
writer's SAYS the chief consideration
which influenced the Executive Commit.
tee TO recommend a reduction of 20 per
cent. in the rates on mercantile risks
was the growing tendency Of the Board
of Companies to either openly practice
bad faith or TO withdraw entirely from
the Board and begin business by hazard
Gus competition and cutting under the
schedule rates. The Board now regards
its action in making reduction as fool
ish, because the tendency Of this com.
petition was to cut down the surplus of
the companies so that property was
really covered only for ordinary casuali-
ties and not for any great disaster which
might visit the city at any time.
The creditors OF the banking firm of
Turner Bros, who recently failed. have

New YORK, August 14.-The Evening
Post says, although this city escaped
yesterday, the daily storm to which this
city has been accustomed during the
week, the surrounding territory was not
rs fortunate. At Hackensack the rain
came down in torrents; shower after
shower. each accompanied by vivid
lightning, and the water seemed to be
one continuous stream, and as the
ground was already soaked, the food
accumulated rapidly, and all together
soon made the appearance of
lake. Houses in the meadow be-
low were soon inundated, and this
morning their inhabitants were impro-
vising bridges through door-yards, while
chickens were perched on barrels and
boats. All the gardens and fields in low
places are under water, and will be more
or less damaged. The track of tho New
Jersey 81 New York Railroad is washed
away some distance, and the break is so
serious that it's not certain that trains
can pass over it before Tuesday. The
mails which were sent out last night
over the Northern Railroad of New Jer-
sey were brought back to the post office
in this city, and were sent out this morn
ing over the Erie Railroad. The tracks
of nearly all roads running into this city
were more OF less damaged.
