Insurance DefaIcation.

NEW YORK, October 5.-The insurance
agency of AllIger Brothers, of this city,
is IN default about Sl34,000 with the
Commercial Union Insurance Comp ny
OF England. The agency is indebted to
other companies but Tor small amounts.
The Commercial Union has taken COM
plete possession Of the agency, Its books,
accounts, cash, etc, and is temporarily
conducting its business.
In reference to the efficiency OF
Alliger IN bis accounts with the Com
mere al Trust Company Brown who re-
presents the company, this morning said
II vas difficult to state the exact amount
OF the loss, rs it would depend consider
ably on the result of this years business.
Aliger has been entitled 10 y commission
on premiums collected and to per cent.
age of the profits. Aiiiger had bonds
men believed to be good for $4,000. II
was os.ible also that he might be able to
make some restitution. Brown said the
chief regrets of the officers OF the COM
pany was not on account OF the money
lost, but because of the betrayal OF It's
confidence Ii is not the intention OF
tue Commercial Union Company to pro-
secute Alliger criminslly.
New YORK, October 5.-The an
nouncement of = large detslCstion IN the
accounts of the Alliger Bros, OF this city
has created much excitement among in
surance men. 1t was lesrned to-day that
the balance due the Commercial Union
Company, OF London, according to the
statement for July, was SILL OG from
this should be deducted about $4,000 due
from agents, and urther sum for COM
missions on the net profits of the
American business for the current
wear. 1t is estimated that the
total deficiency will not exceed SltOOOO.
Mr.. Alliger is under bonds to the
company for $4,000. The company
employed an auditing committee, which
passed on the accounts OF the agency
monthly. 1t appears, however, that the
committee was mi;led into the belief that
there were large balances due from the
agents. Mr.. Schoonmsker states that
the total amount due the American
companies was Sl7S6O. Mr.. Alllger is
Secretary of the National Board
of Underwriters. The gentleman at
present in charge OF the agency
deny that they had any knowledge OF the
condition of the agency.

DR.. Scott and His Pupils

DIR. j. w. Scott was for many years
President of Washington College, at
Washington, Pa. That institution
under his administration enjoyed
great prosperity, turning out many
scholars who have taken high rank
amongst the learned men of our coun-
try. The Doctor goes to Washing
ton to attend a meeting of his former
pupils who propose to give him some
testimonial of appreciation of his
great worth. Several of our promi-
nent citizens, viz: J. j. Brown, Hon.
Jno. H. Ollie and Joseph Moreland,
graduated at Washington College
and now practice law in Morgan sown.
Mr.. Moreland was a student of DR..
Scott's, but graduated at Cannons-
burg one year after the union of
Washington and Jefferson Colleges,
and one year after DR.. Scott came to
Morgantown.

THE CAPITAL DISCUSSION
Enthusiastic Meeting Yesterday.
The Assent bly, addressed by four
Speakers.

Yesterday afternoon at an early
hour, large number OF people as
sembled for the purpose Of hearing
the sscapital question discussed. -
Four speakers were present. two for
Clarksburg and two for Charleston.
A store box was placed in front Of
the Office of Hon. J. M. Hagans, and
the speaker, John Bassel, of Clarks-
burg, who spoke in the interest of that
town. Il may here be stated that
the speakers had limited themselves
to an hour each. Mr.. Bassell is a
pleasant speaker, and handled his
subject well. He dwelt chiefly on the
material convenience of Clarksburg
at the present time as the capital of
West Virginia.
Judge Brown, of Charleston, fol
lowed Mr.. Basel in logical and
earnest appeal for Charleston. The
Judge urged the fact very foreibly
that by mutual agreement the public
institutions of the State were to be
equally distributed over the State,
and he then allnded to the fact that
such was not yet the case.
Gen. Golf was the next speaker
With even unusual interest this speak
or entered into the question. The
General spoke of the kindly and
neighborly feelings that have always
existed between Harrison and Monon-
gala counties, and between Clarks
burg and Morgantown. He further
urged that the interests of Morgan
town lie in espousing the cause OF
Clarksburg for the capital.
HI. S. Walker closed the discussion
in behalf of Charleston in his usual
eloquent style. He handled the sub
ject as he generally does-excellent-
ly. He was greeted with frequent
applause. The people ought now at
least be prepared to vote on the cap
ital question in August.
