Application for acknowledgements in
the Valuation Of the Company's Assets.

HARTFORD, Conn, Nov. 9.-The hearing on
the petition for a receiver for the Charter Oak
Lite Insurance Company was resumed in the
nupreme Court this afternoon. At the first sit
ing, nearly five weeks ago. nothing was done,
and an adjournment was had for the prepara-
ton Of a detailed statement of the assets of the
company This statement declares the actual
assets of the company to be So, 819, 1913. The OBJ
,ect Is to show that the assets are less than
hree-fourths of the liabilities in which case the
commissioner is required by law to make such
application as has been made. The liabilities
are 81, 365, ,228. The reply Of the company is
that the valuation is unfair.
The first witness was Ephraim Williams, In
surance Commissioner of the State He testified
that he had brought the petition for receiver be-
sause the statement of the company for Dec. 80,
1884, showed the assets less than the liabili-
tes, and because, on further examination. the
assets seemed to be so much less than the liabil-
hes that it was his duty. under the law. to take
action. He stated the liza bilities at 81 $685. 228,
aud the assets at 50. Sl9 793 The company val
oes its assets at $4, 236,172 His cross-examina-
non occupied the rest of the afternoon, and was

THE STEAMER ALGOMA.
A Lake Vessel Wrecked Off Isle Royal and
Thirty-Two Lives Lost

1nirty-IWO Lives LOST
WINNIPEG Nov. "a fearful disaster oc-
cured on Lake Superior, off Port Arthur, early
this morning. The magnificent iron-clad steamer
Algoma, of the Canadian Pacific line, was
wrecked and thirtytw lives lost Only mea-
gre particulars have been received up to the
present hour They consist mainly of kilograms
to private persons announcing the loss of friends
Mr.. E. Dudgeon, of this city. received few
moments ago the following telegram:
"Algoma gone down. Your wife and two
children are drowned JOE VIVIAN"
Mr.. Dudgeon is from Owen sound, and his
wife and family were on their way to join him
at Winnipeg. The steamer left Owen sound on
Thursday and was wrecked off Isle Royal, just at
the outside of Thunder bay. A heavy storm pre-
vailed all Saturday afternoon and night, and the
steamer lay to for time. When the weather
cleared slightly the vessel started again, but
made slow progress. In the morning dense
fog prevailed, and the steamer felt her way
along. blowing fog horns. Suddenly she struck
a reef and went down, all hands on board being
reported last The steamer was bound for Port
Arthur. with passengers from Toronto and other
points east The captain, Moore, is master of
the vessel, and Mr.. Mckenzie, nephew of Hon
Alex Mckenzie, is purser.
The first known of the disaster was when the
steamer Arthabasca of the same line arrived at
Port Arthur, late this evening, with the crew of
the i'll fated Algoma, consisting of thirteen and
two of the passengers who we're the only ones
saved. The Arthabasca, which left Owen sound
two days after the Algoma came up with the
Ie1o -,
passenge in a perishng condition on the island
The wreck had been dashed against the
rocks, and was finally beaten against the
shore of the island. The crew and two of the
passengers saved themselves by taking to the
life-boat, and battling with the waves until the
shore was reached. The boat was washed over
several times by the waves, but righted again.
while the men hung with the despair of death to
the sides. They succeeded in reaching the land
in an almost dead condition from exposure and
exhaustion The storm continued to rage furi-
ously all night long. The rescued remained on
the beach, watching the wreck beating against
the rock bound island and seeing the dead
bodies dashed in the surf against the shore.
The Artha basca came along about noon to-
day, and. as the channel is narrow, could not
avoid seeing the wreck and the distress of those
on the island. A boat was sent ashore and
brought the rescued to tho Arthaoasca, which
set sail for Port Huron. whore it arrived this
evening. There is intense excitement in this
city tonight as many had friends on board
The list of cabin passengers can be had at
