The Globe Life.
The Retirement of the Officers
Demanded by Superintendent

piu Tie
The report of the Superintendent
Of Insurance on the condition of
the Globe Mutual Life Insurance
Company has not been made pub
lie. The statement last week
was by the company, with the
permission of the Superintendent. .
The report itself is very severe.
1t insists that if the company
continues brsiness the present
management shall be displaced by
men satisfactory to the State De-
partment. Ooe of the principal
complaints against the officers is
that they have put the money OF
The policy holders into railroad
enterprises. P,iny Freeman. the
President, is President of the
Long Island Shore RnlIoad. and
James NJ Freeman, the Vice
President of the Globe, is Treas
urer Of the railroad. The cost
Of building this road was over
500, 600. The Globe loaned the
railroad company $4,000 first,
aud afterward. wheu bonds were
issued, took $4,000 of item.
James NJ. Freeman also hyputh-
ecated with the insurance con-.
pany $24 000 worth Of the bonGs
for $l6,G23 Both the Freemans
live on the line Of the railroad,
which has thus lar never D lid
any interest on the bonds issued,
although interest is due semi-an-
nually. O,her railroad invest.
mtnts Of still more unprofita-
bic character have come to light.
The Globe loaned $4,000 or
$4,000 of the bonds of the New
York, West Shore and Chicago
Railroad, which has not been built,
and the stock is worth nothing.
The Globe is said to be secured
in this instance by notes Of John
Van Nest, the promoter of the
enterprise. 1t is owing to the in
vestment of the company's money
in this way that Superintendent
Smyth demands that the officers
shall retire. The Company has
some Improbable real estate, in
cludingthe columbia Opera House.
The freeman Brothers are max
ing arrangements to retire, and
are doing their best to protect
their interests in the Institution.
j. + Burns, of the Phoenix Life
Insurance Company, of Hartford,
is spoken of as the probable man.
ager. He was formerly Superin-
tendent of agencies of the Globe.
The Freemans desire MIR. Hol-
brook, the present manager, TO
remain.

~ Our readers, particular

that when that Company col

For the Fayetteville Observer.
The examination exercises on
Friday, 2lst inst, were we'll at
tended and the spectators were
highly pleased with the exer-
cises. The programme includ-
ed reading, defamation, dia-
logues and music by the school
of 30 scholars, girls and boys
of tender years. AT II o'clock
a barbecued dinner was spread,
and it was ample for the large
number, visitors and candidates,
who were present, the number
of all being estimated at 400 to
500. After dinner and a short
recess, the exercises were re-
sumed, by concert reading by
the school, which was well done,
followed by. defamation and
dialogue, at the conclusion of
which an appropriate and ex-
cellent address was delivered by
C. G. Mckinney, Esq. A bas-
ket supper was then spread, of
which all who chose partook.
At $50 o'clock the exhibition
was resumed, and declarations
and dialogues were presented.
In conclusion, We express the
opinion in saying
that the exercises were satisfac-
tory to all who witnessed them,
giving, as they did, evidence of
the ability and industry of the
teacher and the proficiency of
the students. D. G.S.
