Familiar TO business men is the of the Eft
ma Fire Insurance Co.. of Hartford few ii any have
ever considered the important part il has sustained in
the development of this country, the aid and comfort
1t has rendered its entire business interest and
the heavy debt of gratitude the country owes it in
turn by Its pledges OF indemnity tens of thousands
of our business men, have been enabled to undertake
and conduct successfully enterprises of all degrees of
magnitude, unsupported by which prudent man
would for "A moment have considered. Thousands
upon thousands of risks 1t has tor our enter
prisng people since its organization which indi-
vdual could have carried and no could have been
found who would furnish SO much capital and then
stand behind to guarantee against the perils of fire
and water as this great corporation Look at its
ord. Organized in June, 1879 with capital stock of
$4,000. This was increased 100000 in lS49 and
1854 to SSOO0oo lis assets were then o73. In
ls57 its capital doubled making il = 600 600
with assets of l,5063ss In 1859 $780, more was
added to its capital, and in 1854 it again ncreas
ed to s2,2JoOo, its assets then being S3s00i40 In
1866 its capital was advanced to &c. 900 its assets
then being si47s,l0O Five years later (is7) its
SETS had reached $6i0O,503. Then came the Chicago
lire, which made heavier call upon the .Etna than
any fire insurance company has sustained since the
world began. S3,7OO,1 was the amount the
f'na alone contributed 10 rebuild Chicago and
enable its business resume their business and
start afresh. More than 40 companies failed in this
fire alone. but the Etna built slanty on the burnt
district before the bricks were cold, and paid every
loss against them as fast as presented ut sight. Not
ycarlae came the Boston fire and losses TO the
f,tna amounting TO 81 ,G04 3D. which were promptly
paid The records of Fire Insurance furnish no
parallel since Its organization il has received in
premiums in round numbers $50 600, and has paid
$50 900 900 for losses, and in dividend stock and cash

John Ward. one of the watchmen on du-

line, gives the following account of what
he saw. The line crosses Hiner's Run, or
its headwaters, at place called Mcclure e
Springs. Here there is quite hollow or
depression in the ground. From this
place to the residence of Mr.. Holding.

The pipe was throbbing and whizzing at
