Too Much Beer and Not Enough
Business at the italian
Meeting Last Night.
The little saloon on the corner Of
North Flores and Obraje streets was
crowded with noisy and very thirsty
Italians last night, being gotten to-
gether by the Callaghan workers, led
by Market Master Bruni for the os-
tensible purpose of forming a nom
political Garibaldi club, but really
because the administration forces had
gotten worsted In the attempt to
carry the large meeting of Italians
held on Acequia street Sunday night.
Mr.. Bruni met all corners and treated
them nicely. A keg of beer and box
of cigars had been provided by some
body, and when this gave out before
the onslaught of the thirsty and pa
triotic sons of Italy, who were shout
ing for Garibaldi when they should
have been hurrahing for America,
Master Bruni told the bar man to put
on another keg.
Soon the crowd, numbering about 35,
began to sing and kept this up too
long to suit Messrs. Cassiano, OlIeary,
Russi and others, not Italians, who
were there to see that the adminlstra-
ton ticket was endorsed, an attempt
was made to arouse the Italians into
something like political enthusiasm,
but as they were not much "stuck on"
Master Bruni, he could not influence
them even by fiery speech, and all
they would do was to sing and shout
"Viva Garibaldi." After a while a
Garibaldi club, strictly non-political,
was formed, Carlo Solari being made
president, and Pietro Negra secretary.
Messrs. Callaghan, Kunzman, O'Lea-
ry, Cassiano, Henry Fest, Fritz Rus
81, Walter Scott and others of the adj
ministration forces were elected hon
orary members by a deal of crowd
ing and this was all the work on their
ticket they could manage to get in.
Another meeting will be held at the
same place next Thursday night. The
Italians who attend need not look for
quite so much beer next time.

STILL WAITING A QUORUM.

The council is still without a quo
rum, and those who have been &C
customed to wait for the words of the
master in the municipal assembly
that they may do his bidding, are
obliged to seek him out in the secret
places which he inhabits, that his
law may be made known unto them
and his will revealed. Silent and
deserted are the seats in the council
chamber. The walls of that hall of
assembly no longer echo the elo-
quence of Schreiner, nor the dulcet
tones of hizzoner. The petitioners
for municipal action, and they are
many, and the complainers against
municipal neglect, favoritism and
culpable carelessness, and they are
legion, find no door of complaint open
ed to them. For long weeks has the
hall of the city forum been closed
and the mourners go about the streets
and the prayer of the petitioners is
unanswered, and the business of the

A BIG SUIT.
One that Involves Quesftons OF u"
portaurc 10 Insurance companies

A suit was instituted IN the Clrcull
Court Yesterday. the style being /. T.
Winston. curator of the estate OF James
Neeson. deceased. against the Manhat,
tan Life Insurance Company. chartered
under the laws Of New York. The
damages claimed are 81 900.
No declaration was filed. but IT was
learned that many years ago Mr. james
Nceson insured his life IN the Man
haitian Life Insurance Company. one
of The terms in the policy was mat the
partv insured could have thirty DAYS
within which TO pay the quarterly
premium. after the day that such
nremium was actually due. The policy
also had the proviso that the thirty
DAYS indulgence IN the payment 81 the
premium could be revoked by the
company or It's authorized agent when
ever II cnoosed.
For some years Mr. Neeson paid his
premiums sometimes regular by the
date they were actually due and some
times took advantage Of the thirty
days' grace. About six years ago Mr.
Nees0n was stricken down with nj
while sitting in a chair. This happen
Cd no many days before the thirty
DAYS Of grace expired. \ friend Of Dir.
Neeson at once went to the Richmond
agent Of the Manhattan Life Insurance
Company and rendered the premium
due. being then three days in advance
Of the last day on which the thirty
days of grace expired.
The agent refused TO receive the
premium on the ground that llr. Nee
son. by his free use Of beverages. was
debarred from further being an III
sured member IN the company The
agent said that the premium not
having been paid on the day 1t was
due the policy had been forfeited.
Ever since then the premium due
quarterly at the agents Office has been
regularly presented. and with eqnal
regularly It's reception has been re
fused.
Under the law Of New York. in which
State the Manhattan Life Insurance
COMPANY has its existence. ana from
which il obtained its charter. says that
If life insurance once assumes the
payment of premium by allowing 1t
to lapse after the premium Is actually
due they cannot claim another lapse as
forfeiung the policy when the amount
Of the premium is rendered within the
prescribed time.
1t is the belief that the plaintiff
can establish the fact that the defen-
dant on one or more times allowed the
days of grace. which is the ground for
the action.
