Hartford COurant: 1.-THE life insurance
companies OF this city have returns from their agents
aggregatlng over fifty thousand dollars which VIII
undoubtedly be increased when the agents are en-
abed TO make complete returns. In some instances
accents nave ned from the stricken cities and moth
ing has been heard from them. However, It Is be
eyed that the losses Will not amount TO excessive
sum, for the reason that the persons insured are
generally of the wel-todo class and have means to
demIc is past That the belief is well founded Is
shOWn by the Connecticut Mutual's experience at
the time OF the epidemic at Savannah in 1875. It's
Insured there represented seventy thousand dollars
In policies, and all left town excepting those repre-
Senting on ninety thousand dollars. Among these
the losses amounted TO but tWenty-eight thousand
dollars.

remained south kept them IN force by paying the
Charter Oaks single loss thus far reported, amount
ing 10 three thousand dollars, is case of this kind
The Phoenix Mutual has returns of two losses,
aggregaiing thTty-fve hundred dollars, both at New
Orleans. The company has no risks TO any consid-
cradle amount outside of that city.
q" The Connecticut Mutual has no business in the
State of Louisiana. At Memphis two losses are re-
ported, five thousand dollars and TWENTY-FIVE hun
dTed dollars The company's medical examiner, Dr..
Ayant has died of the fever, and its agent having
fed to Louisville for safety, full reports cannot be
obtained for several days.
1.-The IEtna Life has received returns showing
losses of twenty five thousand dollars at Vicksbnrg,
two thousand dollars at Memphis and five thousand
dollars at New Orleans. One of the is that of
2 lady belonging in Knoxville, Tennessee, who was
insured for three thousand dollars, and lost her
life while in of the infected cities laboring as
nurse. The Htna having had regular reports from
New Orleans, it is thought that the losses in that
city VIII not exceed the figure above named.
The Travellers losses ten thousand dollars
added 10 those above, show that the Hartford COM
