INSURANCE CIRCLES EXCITED.
Withdrawal of the Etna From the New
Hampshire Compact.

Withdrawal of the Etna From the New
Hampshire Compact.
NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-Not since the disrup-
ton ofthe Metropolitan association of fire under
writers in April, 1887 following the withdrawal
-bf the Williamsburg city fire insurance COM
pany from its ranks has anything occurred TO
excite so much feeling and comment in insur-
ance circles as the announcement just made by
the Ktna company of Hartford OF Its
withdrawal from the New Hamp-
shire compact. In 1850 New Hampshire
enacted what is known as valued policy"
law, providing, however, in an addition to the
usual provision that the amount for which the
policy was written should be the measure OF
damages in case of loss, and in addition thereto
that any company which should make appllca-
ton TO have any suit to which il was a party
removed to the L. ;. courts for trial, or should
enter into any compact with other companies
TO govern or control the rates of premium to
be charged for insurance should have Its IL
cense or authority to do business revoked.
Immediately thereafter the companies organ
lied under the laws of other states and coun-
tries, ffty-eight in number and including all
save one-the Connecticut fire insurance COM
pany-that had been doing business in New
Hampshire, cancelled their policies and with
drew their agencies and entered into mutual
compact. which was signed by all OF them,
agreeing not to accept any risks on property
in New Hampshire so long as the law
remained In force. The compact also provided
that If any company should withdraw from 1t,
ninety days notice should be given TO the New
England insurance exchange Three other
states-Ohio, Wisconsin and Texas-enacted
the valued policy" feature of the law the same
year, and bills for the same purpose were in
troduced in many other states. but were de-
feated by the influences brought TO bear by the
insurance companies. The legislation against
combinations omitted from the Ohio and
Wisconsin acts, and the companies did not
Withdraw their agencies from those states or
cease doing business in them.
The New Hampshire compact was entered
into as much for the influence it would have
on efforts at similar legislation in other states
as to punish New Hampshire. How effective
the move has proved 10 be can not be deter
mined, but no other states have enacted the
valued policy law until last winter, when
Missouri enacted it in a modified form. The
action of the Ktna company is condemned by
some of the most experienced and successful
insurance men, and is welcomed as a step in the
right direction by others of equal standing.

UNFoRTUN ATE ALL AROUND.
New YORK. Aug. 30th. During
the past year Robert Ray Hamilton
has been dealing largely in real es.
tate in this city and Brooklyn.
None of the deeds recorded make
any mention of Mrs. Hamilton, and
in several the granter, Robert Ray
Hamilton, is especially declared to
be unmarried. The law provides
that married man cannot sell prop
erty in real estate without inserting
his wife's name in the deed of con-
veyance, because every married
woman has an inchoate right of dow
er in her husbands estate, which
upon his death she can claim as her
own. The absence from which an
indenture OF the name of the wife cf
the granter, if his wife is living at
the time, impairs the title to the
property and the purchaser or gran.
tee has cause for damages in legal
proceedings. 1t is believed Mr..
Hamilton was married at this time
last year. The exact date of bis
marriage will be matter of impor-
tance to persons who have purchased
estate from him.
Mr.. Hamilton was one Of the pro-
moters of the Metropolitan Land
Improvement Company, which
bought extensive tracts in the
Twenty-tifth Ward and sold small
parcels to persons in poor circum-
stances who built their homes there
on. If the sales were made after
Hamilton's marriage all the gran
tees will find themselves liable to
expensive litigation in the event Of
Mrs. Hamilton surviving her bus
band. The sales of Brooklyn prop
erty amounted to more than $780,
600.
