When what bss been sIIsctionstely
call che Tonsine Committee dropped
down rom Albany. says tbe n. -,
Tribune, and received comfortable
quarters il the Equitable Building
while they remained here, they
started in vigorously to investigate
what is known among insurance men
as the Tontine plan Of insurance.
This investigation Was based on the
theory that Tontlne was not good for
the average maa. At that time var
ious suits had been begun against the
Equitable Life Assurance Society,
the New York Life Insurance Com
pany, and the Metropolitan Life In
suraDce Company, all by the same
attorneys. In all ofthese suits it
was charged in various forms that
the Tontine scheme Of Insurance as
practised by these companies was
fraudulent; that the companies had
made fraudulent representations in
their pamphlets and through their
agents regarding the nature Of the
scheme; that they bad failed to carry
out their agreements with their Ton-
tine policy holders in various particu-
lars. especially in the matter Of invest
ing and accommodating the fund and
apportioning it among the Tontine
policyholders. n I0
Frances II Simons, the wife of
Augustus Simons, Of Brooklyn.
brought suit through William Writ
Hewett, on these charges, against
the New York Life Insurance Com
paDy. The corporation, through its
counsel, demurred, on the ground
that sufficient facts were not stated
to constitute cause of action. The
demurrer was overruled by Justice
Barnard and the kGt neral Term af-
firmed his decision, Justice Dykeman
writing the opinion, 10 which Justice
Cullen concufred. Although this
was only decision on q technical
question of pleading it was circulated
through the country as judicial con-
demnation of the Tontine system
The.compauy thereafter withdrew the
demurrer and put in denial of the
charges. The case was then tried on
its merits in January last before JUS
tice Cullen and q jury, when the
pamphlets and books were produced
and the method of keeping the Ton
tine accounts was gone into. At the
close of the testimony Justice Cullen
dismis sed the complaint on the
ground that the company had com.
mitted no fraud, but bad lived up to
its agreements and representations. -
An appeal was taken by Mrs Simons
aud this was argued in September
last The General Term has now aft
armed the judgment. Justice Dyke
man writing the opinion, and Justice
O0t uoIu hUu Iulb COuCuthAuEs ~ 10
tice Dy keman examined oil questions
at length and holds that the company
has fully complied, 10 its dealings
with the Tontine policyhOlders, with
the, representations and agreements
contaihed ID the pamphlets and poll
cies, and has committed no fraud or
breach OF contract t. As TO the charge
that the Tontine scheme is o system
Of gambling, the Justice declares this
total misconception of the scheme
and says that it is no more gambling
than any other form of life Insurance.

It came to the front with q seven and

Exciting.

The most terrific runaway which
ever occurred in Butte, took place
about 2 p. m. Sunday last. A young
team belonging to Owsley q Carr
and valued at $500, pulled the lines
from the hands of the driver, who
was assisting two ladies to alight
from the buggy at the Centennial
Hotel, and wheeling down Main
street created sad havoc along the
way. The team passed the stables,
corner Main and PARK, encountered
large pile of wood on the opposite
corner, turned over the top buggy,
broke the off hind wheel and hind
axeltree, smashed the off forward
wheel, broke the front running gear
from the main body and with only
the pole, one wheel and the front
axeltrea, plunged madly and blindly
onward. At the corner of Main and
Galena they ran into the heavy lum-
ber wagon Of q ranchman, who was
driving his team of colts down Main
atreet. Each one of the runaway an
imals attempted, to pass on different
sides of the large wagon and finding
q SORol oCAOA po0oAOAO esVSOAAVsS<A w
jump over the entire outfit, and land
ed upon both hind wheels. The pole
of the buggy struck the seat of the
ranchman throwing it forward upon
the front end-board of his wagon. In
the mean time the runaway team,
held together by the collars and neck
yoke, were turned upon their sides
with their legs mixed up in the
wheels of the big wagon. The ranch
mans team started to run and dragged
the buggy team with them for a dis
tsDce OF 200 feet. An employe of
Carlos Warfield's stable ran out and
succeeded in arrestiug the entire out
fit. When the nigh horse was extri-
Gated it was found that his right
shoulder was mashed and q hole
large enough to run ones arm into
had been broken through theshoulder
blade and the leg broken In two
places. Mr.. Carr very properly had
the animal killed at once.
