ATTACKING MUTUAL BENEFIT SOCIETIES.

ATTACKING MUTUAL BENEFIT SOCIETIES.
The existence of mutual benefit associations
which insure life is threatened by bill compeillnG
the societies to deposit with the Insurance Depart
ment securities amounting to at least $lOOOO
for each society. The bill has been
passed by the Senate and is now before
the Assembly. The proposed measure mas
excited much attention and several meetings OF
companies affected by it have been held. At q
meeting at the office of the Mercantile Benefit AsSo-
cation Tuesday evening. which was largely at
tended by representatives of these societies. reSou-
tions were adopted iii opposition to the bill and
petitiOn to the Legislature was prepared. 1t IS
claimed that tho bill has been framed and
advocated by friends of the great insurance
corporations, and that its purpose is to
drive the benefit societies from the business. These
societies have increased largely i'll numbers within
a few years. and, it is claimed, have interfered
seriously with the business of large companies;
Officers of these companies do not universally op-
pose the mutual benefit societies. but they say
that tue principle has been greatly abused
These societies have little, capital; they
make no deposit with the Department
and therefore are not subject to it's examinations,
and thew are not compelled to hold a reserve fund
for the protection of their members. But they have
passed, 1T is sad beyond the principle of mutual
benefit and aid, and now do a regular insurance
business without restriction. One company III
Connecticut, which was sued by member
in another State, defended the suit on
the grourd that it was not an insurance
company and that there was, therefore, no Contract
But these companies are said TO make insurance

poses of their formation, which were beneVOlcncc

II will be twenty years on the 4th OF

some quarters that the article Il ex-

PORTLAND, October 1st.-The following
dispatch was just received from Walla
Walla: A Coroner's jury was called here to.
day to inquire into the cause of the sudden
death of James w. Pettigrew. After the
examination of several witnesses verdict
was rendered to the effect that the cause of
death was strychnine administered to deceased
by some unknown party. Pettigrew was an
old resident of this place, and held in the
highest respect.
A disgraceful row occurred on the street
this morning between Rev. DIR. M. May the
Rabbi of the Jewish Synagogue, and A. Wal
iman, resulting in two shots being fred.
Some personal misunderstanding has existed
between the parties for several weeks. They
met few days ago and engaged in hot
words. This morning Walliman met DIR.
May on the street and struck him in
the face, causing the blood to flow
freely. DR.. May drew a pistol and
fred two shots at Walliman, neither of which
took effect. Parties Immediately interfered
and separated them. The affair is character
lied as shameful in the extreme. Walliman
is member of the congregation of which
DR.. May is Rabbi. Great excitement exists
among the Hebrews in the city over the row,
and opinions differ widely as to who is
censurable. Both parties are under arrest.
President Hayes, Mrs. Hayes, Secretary
Ramsey and General Sherman, accompanied
by Mayor D. 2. Thompson, visited the pub
