Heavy Verdict.

i successful Insurance Man RecOvsr3 n
Heavy Verdict.
The exceedingly interesting case of
George E. Detwiler, well known in this
CITY, against the Western Mutual Fire In
sutance company, which was on trial in q
Chicago Court during last week, and which
was the center of attraction during its pro-
gress, ended in verdict in favor OF the
plaintiff, Mr.. Detwiler, for Sl6,273 IL.
The history Of this case, as developed
during the trial, is an interesting and
peculiar one. AS shown by the testimony,
Mr. Detwiler, q successful and experienced
insurance msu, entered into contract
with the defendant company to act IS their
agent for the term of FIVE years for the ter
,itory comprised in the States of Ohio,
Pennsylysnis, West Virgins. and six eoun-
ties IN western New York Mr.. Detwiler
also represented a number Of other com
panies, and by his uDtiring energy his
ability, and experience had at the end OF
seventeen months, at an expense Of S, goo
or $4,000, secured Sn amount Of business
for the defendant company and others that
was simply remarkable. Mr.. Detwiler
claims that the defendant company then
sought to secure the benefits OF the large
business, which was mainly the result OF his
individual efforts, and without the slightest
cause or excuse cancelled the contract and
revoked bis authority TO act ss their general
agent. Hence this suit, in which Mr..
Detwiler claimed $4,000 fer breach oi
contract. The main defense attempted
By the insurance company was that be
cause another insurance company, oi
which Mr. Detwiler yss secretary, had
failed, defendant had right TO discharge
him, but the court held that they must
,how he had mis9ansged the business o.
the defendant com pany, and excluded the
testimony ss improper, whereupon the jur!
returned q verdict for Mr.. Detwiler for the
above amount.
| Mr.. Detwiler frequently astonished tht
Court and the spectators by the .Vonderiu
accuracy and rapidity with which he mas
tered the most appalling array of figures
and the ease with which he conprshendeC
and explained all the details of the busi
mass, exhibiting q familiarity with tb'

WIND AND FLOOD.

Devastation Wrought by the Recent
storm In the East.
NEw YORK, November 26.-FrOm differ
ent parts of tn, city and from the towns
and villages in the track Of the great storm
of Tuesday reports continue to come Of
the devastation wrought. Although the
individual LOSES are large in only few
instances, yet the injury done by the wind
aud floods is so widespread that the aggre-
gate lossess are very great indeed. The
damage at Long Branch and along the
Ne. Jersey coast is greater than it was at
first reported to be. Several cottages sut.
tered more or less, aud the grounds OF
many others were sadly torn up.
Water in the cellars still bothers people
in streets nesr the river fronts, and trouble
ia experienced at many of the ferries,
owing to the tact that the tides raised the
bridges far out Of level. In the lowlands
west OF Jersey City, sone Of the railroads
are still further damaged By food.
