INSURANCE. NEWS And INCIDENTS.

An interesting table made its appearance among
tho fire insurance offices yesterday showing the
profit of the twenty-eight leading agency com
panies for tire six years ending with 1882. The
record pointed out the fact that ten OF the com
panies underwent n positive loss, and that their
stockholders would have been better of had their
money been invested as TO draw normal rate Of
interest. Nine Of the companies gained less than
five per cent in strength during the six years sew
enteen less than ten per cent, while only one gained
more than ten per cent. Ten went backward, in
the same time, from to nno per cent. The
chief moral which these figures teach is that the
average premium rate is too low and that com
panes operating in wide field and depending on
the law Of average for their profits must receive
better rates for the risks they carry succumb 10
disaster.
large number of fire Insurance companies re-
porting yesterday to The Insurance Chronicle, ex-
pressed themselves in favor of amalgation Of the
United Fire Underwriters in America with the
National Board, as recommended by the advisory
committee Of the former organization d few days
ago. The current opinion among fire underwriters
is that there is need Of two bodies with national
jurisdiction.
At a meeting Of the Tariff Association on Wedncs-
day number of uptown risks were rated. In
Brooklyn the warehouse keepers have complied
with tue associations terms concerning the storage
of cotton and other fibre. The Tariff Association
will meet again to-day to continue its ratings.
Among the visiting underwriters yesterday was
Captain l.. NJ. Tucker, of Columbus, Miss, general
agent for that State for q number of leading COM
panles.

II. c. DuNAvANT, NJ. ID. Ny dear
Doctor: Your letter containing the
following notice, clipped from the
OscroLA TINES just received:
"The friends of Mr.. G. w. Thorn
ason, will, no doubt, be delighted to
learn that his leg was not broken as
reported; and that he is recovering
from the effects of his bruises as rap
idly as possible"
was not aware that anything had
been said in regard to Col. Thomas
on's case, and certainly regret the
circulation of a rumor, at variance
with the facts. accepted your di-
agnosis with the utmost confidence
when you placed the patient in my
charge. The swelling was so con-
siderable, that | could not, with any
degree of accuracy, make out the
condition without unwarantably in
terfering with the coaptation of the
fractured ends. Since the swelling
has gone down, however, | have con-
iirmed your diagnosis in every par.
ticular.
Our patients leg is now in the
plaster Of Paris bandage suggested
by you, and is doing well. Please
ask the Editor to make the above
correction, in justice to all concern

beauty, and the ripening pods burst
ing with the richest staple known
to commerce, and-and-well, it is
perfectly splendid, and no pen can
paint it. Then, it is such an easy
crop to raise. You begin to plant
it in April, and you keep on fooling
with it the balance of the year, and
on into the next. 1t always affords
employment for the body and the
mind. 1t is sort of perennial
beauty, this cotton crop, you can al
so have a crop mortgage, and safely,
under that, a store account. A fifty
dollar cotton crop is good for a sixty
dollar store account, provided you
put mortgage on it. The mort
gage seems to make up for any rea-
sonable disparity in values. Then
again, there is nothing like going to
town and hanging around the store
keeper. He is always glad to see
you. The oftener you come the
gladcr he Is. 1t is good thing to
make others happy, epecially store
keepers; and cotton crops and crop
mortgages are the very quintessence
of souls delight to the merchant.
Never mind about the worms, nor
the lice, nor the drouth, nor even the
early frost. The mortgage will take
care of all that, and when pay day
comes you can figure up the supply
bill and compare it with the crop,
and take your choice, and let the
supply bill stand--under the mort
along with the crop. In this
way, all thing work out even. True,
the store-keeper may complain, and
vow he will never do it again; but
don't you mind that. He will do it
again; yes, again and again; and on,
and on to the last syllable of record
ed time. Slavery is better than
freedom, anyhow. 1t is better to be
kicked and cuiied, and starved, and
pulled and hauled around than to
raise corn, hogs and cattle, mules and
horses, and be fat. Hogs are filthy,
and mules kick; fat people are lazy,
and plenty begets pride. Pride is
bad Independence a fraud. Cot.
ton, mortgage, store account and
perpetual poverty is the thing.
Therefore, plant cotton cover the
whole earth with it.

Circuit Court lterns.

Circuit Court met promptly last
Monday morning at ten o'clock.
Hon. J. G. Frierson, judge, pre-
siding; Hon. VIM. b. Edrington,
Prosecuting Attorney.
The business first in order was the
selection of a grand jury, which was
speedily accomplished, and Is as fol-
lows: Thomas II. Robinson; NJ L.
Odum; Jno. p. Cowan; A. J. Lynch; ;
S. F. Meyers; Jos. Bradford; Is. l..
Hill; VIM. Powers; G. w. Mcmillan T;
Pleasant Morgan; Wash Wiley;
Primus Young; w. p. Barton; A. j.
Dean; p. j. Kelch and p. X. Smith.
Thos. II. Robinson was appointed
foreman, he having been commend
ed to the Judge as suitable person
to fill the place, and no better selec-
ton could have been made.
The charge of Judge Frierson was
one of the ablest we have ever heard,
and received close attention from not
only the members of the jury, but
also from the bar and a large audi
ence.
The prisoners in Jail were brought
out and informed by the Court that
they could, if they desired, object to
any member of the Grand Jury,
when Andrew Mitchell, one of the
prisoners, who is charged with steal
ing cotton from Edrington Brothers
& Driver, promptly objected to Mr..
il. Edrington, who was on the jury,
saying, "Da's got me charged oh
stealin' Gotten, and Mr.. Edrin'ton,
he's a pardner in it." Astonishment
was depicted upon every counten-
ance as the grave charge was brought
against him, and Mr.. Edrington was
about to jump out of the window,
when the prisoner corrected himself
by saying he meant partner in the
firm of Edringion Brothers & Driver,
amid the uncomfortable laughter Of
bench, bar and audience. Mr.. Ed
rington was excused from further
service.
The absence from Circuit Court
of Mr.. Geo. w. Thomason for the
FIRST time in fifteen years, causes uni
versal regret. Tho officers hardly
know how TO run court without
him, and will, with all others who

Loss of Life and Destruction of
Property.

Atlanta, Ga, 25.-B. J. Roope, q
prosperous farmer and miller, lived
on Hillohoolchie Greek, six miles
from Franklin Greek. The creek
rose rapidly Sunday night, and
lifted the building, which started
down the stream with all the in
mates-Roope, his wife, three child
rem and negro servant. The house
finally struck q tree and went to
pieces. A flash of lightning just
then enabled ROope to see his family
sink. He grasped a mattress and
footed down until he struck another
tree in which he remained till morn
ing. Two bodies were recovered.
Accounts from the interior, away
from the railroads and telegraph
Offices, report storm destructive to
life and property. In Lincoln
County, near Anderson's mill, the
home of Tom Brooks is a wreck by
the storm. His wife was killed, and
son and himself probably fatally
injured.

A Distinguishes Archeologist.

st. Louis, 25.-Mr. Griffens, CASH
Ter of the First National Bank OF
Santa Fe, who arrived here to-day,
referring to the reported capture by
Apache Indians of Professor Bona
der, of the archaeological depart
ment Of the Smithsonian Institute,
said he saw the professor and his
wife about six weeks ago. They
were then on their way to the city
Of Mexico, and from his understand
ing of their route, he did not think
they would be near the place mem
toned in the dispatch at the time
the professor is said to have been
captured. He therefore thought the
report untrue. 1t was from the
same neighborhood that the false
reports about the murder of Mr..
Heslng, of Chicago, originated some
months ago. Mr.. Bonadier ranked
very high as an iarch@ologist, and
his researches and works have at
tracted the mention of scientists all
over the world. About three years
ago he was employed by the Smith
sonian Institute to explore among
the Pueblos of the west, with the
special view of obtaining thorough
knowledge of their history, an ex-
petition in which he was engaged
when the report appeared. If he
has been killed the scientific world
has lost one of its most valued
members and special friend. The
archaeology of the Spanish-Ameri-
can people have lost cultured and
earnest investigator, whose place
cannot be easily supplied. He was
about As years old and spent nearly
all his life at Highland, Illinois,
where his father resides.
