Prompt Payment OF Death Claims.

Prompt Payment OF Dcath Claims.
From the Port Huron Morning Telegraph.
The knights of the Maecabees are
making a splendid record in this State,
both for furnishing cheap life insur-
ance and prompt payment Of death
claims. John c. Thomson, one OF the
Sir Knights in East Saginaw died re-.
Gently. tie was a prominent business
man and carried the following life in
surance
Connecticut Mutual, $4,000
Mutual Life of New York, 1000
Washington Life of New York, 1000
Michigan Commercial Travellers
Association, 1000
Knights Of the Maccabees, 1000
Total, $1,000
The K. o. II. NJ. was the first to pay
the widow of the deceased. The Sagi-
nav Evening Express has the follow
ing commendat0ry notice Of the trans
action:
"For mutual insurance organiza-
tion the Knights OF the Maccabees
seems to be success. Mrs. Ellen a.
Thomson, widow of the late John G.
Thomson, of this city, received yester-
day draft for 1000, the amount to
which she was entitled on account of
her husbands membership in the Or
der. The draft was received just one
week from the date of Mr.. Thomson's
death and only two days utter the
proofs of his death were forwarded
from this city. This prompt payment
ia good evidence of tha sound financial
condition Of the Order"
The X. o. Il. NJ. has now been or
ganiZed as separate State Endowment
district for two years and one month.
The membership has increased from
700 to 1900, and only five deaths have
occurred. Life insurance statistics
show that the lowest death rate among
one Thousand good insurable risks in
this State is six annually. The average
membership in the X. O. Z. M. during
the past year has been about /. 200, and
according TO the experience of life in
surance companies and beneficiary So
cieties they ought 10 have had at least
fifteen deaths, but we only 6nd five.
This shows carefulness in the selection
of members.
Only three assessments have been
made. and after paying the five death
claims, there is still balance sufll-
cient TO pay two more. This is GER
tainly a splendid record. and shows
shat tho X. o. T. M. furnishes life in
surance at trifiing cost.

the scene of a singular explosion yester-
day, by which three persons were injured.
Last night gas jet was left burning in the
vault, not noticed when it was closed.
The oxygen in time was consumed, putting
out the light and allowing the vault to fill
with escaping gas. The apparent leak was
noticed this morning, and three employees
stepped into the vault and struck match
with view to discovering the leaky pipe. A
loud explosion Immediately followed, blow
ing Walter o. Williams and Fred Gardner
nearly twenty feet out into the office, badly
burning them about the face and arms and
bruising them most painfully. George Fis-
Gus, Office boy, who was in his shirt sleeves,
received the most serious wounds. His
shirt took fire, and he was wrapped in
flames, which burned the skin so that it
peeled off with his clothing. The physi-
clans say he may recover, but he will be dis
abled for long time. No damage was done
to the premises.
