For years it had been suspe eted
that the Lycoming Fire Insurance
Company, which has its headquarters
at Muncy, was not exactly the soundest
nor its management the best, and
recent events prove that these suspi.
cions were only too correct. The pol
icy holders of the company IN and abont
Bellefontc, held several meetings re-
Gently, the object of which were to eX
anime more closely into the doinEs OF
the company and better ascertain its
financial status and soundness. 4. O.
Fulst, Adam Hoy aud D. S. Keller
Esqrs, were appointed committee TO
act for the interests of the policy hold
ers. This committee reported to an
adjourned meeting held i'll the Court
House on Friday. BY this report it
appears that there is criminal incOmpe-
tency in the management of the COM
pany's affairs. Speeches were made by
several gentlemen in which the officers
were charged with general dishonesty,
fraud and perjury. Further action is
contemplated, looking to the cooper
alton of policy holders in general, re-
moval of the present board of directors
and other officers and a final wiping
out of the company. One Of the speak
ers said:
The report Showes great want Of honesty on
the part OF the officers; that they had lied IN
that they had sworn to report that they had
$4,000 ON Jan. l. $780, when IN fact their liabi-
lties in excess of all assets, were $l26,o00.
Shall the policy holders In this county pay $25,-
OOO to these liars and thieves There should
not be one cent paid to them. They had per-
jured Themselves. and were liable TO 20 to the
penitentary. These men have showed by their
acts that they are dishoncst-that they are
thieves.
In this connection we repeat our adj
vice of several months ago othe readers
of the Journal, to Insure III our own
home company. The Farmers Mutu-
al which for tweuty-four years has
been well managed, paid etery dollar
of loss it ever had with but light assess
ments on its policy holders, and to day
rests on as sound a financial basis as
any similar institution in the state.
