AN INSURANCE SENSATION.
W. c. Grubb Sued for 81 800 by the Ro
chester German Company, and His
Property Attached.

The Journal OF Monday last contained
count Of the failure Of the Argentine Insurance
Company, of which W. C. Grubb of this city
secretary, and one of the principal orginators,
and this failure probably had much to do with a
suit that was begun yesterday against that gen.
tleman by the Rochester German Insurance
Company, for which he had been the agent here
for several years. The amount demanded is
81 800, which it Is claimed Mr.. Grub owes the
company, partly on account OF collections made,
and refuses or is unable to pay. The complaint
makes the somewhat sensational allegation that
the defendant has disposed of much of his prop
erty and left the State for the purpose Of
defrsudng his creditors, and the Indiana Ma
tional Bank is made co-defendant, in SO far as
garnishment proceedings go, under the belief
that that institution has some of Mr.. Grubb's
funds in its possession. The suit is brought
against W. q. Grub, and the firm of Grub d
Paxton, which, it is alleged, are one and the
same. In accordance with the suit, Mr.. Grubb's
residence on North Illinois street and other
property are attached.
Journal reporter yesterday called at that
gentleman's office and was informed by his
book-keeper that he had gone to Richmond, Va,
on last Monday TO attend meeting ,o Oh tn no
he absent week. but dispatch had
been sent calling him home at once. The gentle
man further said that Mr.. Grubb had been con
siderably embarrassed by the failure OF the
Argentine, and was therefore unable to pay the
Rochester German Company all he owed them,
but would do SO as soon as their business conld
be settled up.
Mr.. A. W. Hatch, the attorney for the company,
said that his information was not very extensive,
but ne knew from Mr. Atwood, the secretary OF
the Rochester German Company, that he had
had much trouble in getting a settlement with
Grubb, and that when the latter left the city, on
Monday, he said he was only going to a small
town in this State, and would be back within %
day or two. and as lie had not returned the suit
was brought as above indicated.

A Peculiar Suit.

Jane o'BrieD, administrative of the estate of
John Lnch yesterday began suit against the

he contemplated carly marriage with Miss
Smith 1t was made payable to her, under her

before the marriage took place, and his admin
