AN ACCIDENT NARROWLY AvERTED.

The mistake of a switchman at the Elevated Rail-
road station at Ninth-ave. and Fifty-nintl-st al
most caused serious accident yesterday. The
trains OH the West Side line of the New-York Ele-
waited Railroad run only to Fiftynuth-st, at which
point passengers are transferred to the cars OF the
Metropolitan Road. Yesterday morning the switch
man, wishing to set the switch so that one of tho
New-York Elevated Railroad trains could pass from
the up to the down track, opened the switch before
the rear trucks of the last car of passing Metro
poan train had cleared it, and the result was that
opposite track. The presence of mind of brake
man, who violently rang the bell, prevented what
might have proved very serious affair. No one
was injured but as the frightened passengers stood
upon the platform and Oehed the car hanging over
tile street, they realized how narrow their escape
had hpen.

ANNOUNCEMENT
LIFE ASSURANCE.

The Equitable Life Assurance
Society of the United States makes
the following announcement to the
public:
The dissatisfaction which prevails
throughout the community with re-
gard to Onerous conditions contained
in life assurance contracts and the
judicial decisions based thereon, to-
gether with the public Endorsement OF
the liberal usages of this Society, as
shown by its largely increased bust
ness, has led the management seri-
ously to consider whether the con-
tract could not be simplified and GER
tain conditions erased therefrom which
have been the subject of much criti-
cism and misconception.
After a careful examination Of the
experience of some of the best COM
panics in Great Britain, who have
shown a greater Eberality than has
been customary in this country, this
Society feels justified in adopting a
form of contract in which the fol-
lowing important concessions are
made to policy-holders throughout
the United States:
I. Policies will be made incOnies'-
able after three years from their ca'e'
.. Ench ordinary policy will pro',uo
for n definite surrender-yalue In Pi'"-
up assurance, ina case the policy a. i''-
feiied "A fIer three years from its d"'e'
3. Each TOntine policy will contain
N definite surrcnder-vaime In cash. in
case OF withdrawal AT the end oil inc
TOntine period.
4. The contract will be conciseiy anu
clearly expressed, containing only s"ci
provisions as are necessary 10 pro'eo'
the pOlicy-hoIders.
