THEopuILE LAMoUREAux.

Theophile LamoureauN eidower, aged
"a years, died at the home, III Oakland, of
his brother, p: Ii. Lamoureaux, on Thurs
day evening. He had been sick for some
weeks, and his death was not unexpected. A
short time ago he was thrown from horse
and broke his arm and dislocated his
shoulder. From these injuries he never re-
covered, and, indirectly. they were the cause
OF his death. The deceased was the Vice.
President of the Remillard Brick Company.
and had charge of the company's works in
Contra Costa County. Mr.. LamuureauX
came to California in 1854 with p. n. and d.
Remillard. After making tour of the
mining districts in this state and OH this
Coast he finally gave up the business, alter
seventeen years of labor, and located in
Oakland in 1870. He Immediately became
associated with the Remillards in the brick
business, and has been associated with them
ever since. Mr.. Lamoureaux was one of the
party of whites which explored Frazer

kEADJUsTING RATES.
A light Reduction in Fares to the Pacific
Coast.


Coast.
CHICAGO. Dec. 49, "A meeting of the Chi
cago and St Louis lines was held at the Of
fee of Chairman Finley of the Western
Passenger Association for the purpose Of
readjusting rates to Pacific Coast points,
rendered necessary by the opening of the
new Santa Fe route to the West by the way
of st. Louis. The new line will be opened
on Sunday. Heretofore the rate to Califor-
mia via st. Louis has been greater than that
via Missouri River points. A satisfactory
agreement was reached. by which the Santa
Fe will be permitted to make the same
rates via San Francisco as are in vogue up
on the more direct lines by the way of Kan
sas City and Omaha. The effect will be to
lower the existing rate via ST. Louis so cents
per ticket. The agreement, which is tenn
porary one, will last until a more satisfac-
tory equalization of the existing rates can
be made.
NEW YORK, Dec. 19-The Commercial
Bulletin, editorially discussing the Western
railroad agreement, says: 1t is a serious
question whether the Advisory Board pos
sesses any real power whatever. The
agreement does not look as strong or as
binding as has been expected. The absence
OF provisions in regard TO the control
OF the different companies causes feeling
OF distrust. II seems to be the general i'm
preston of Wall street that this agreement
will be found not materially stronger than
that formed with 30 much flourish by the
railway Presidents some time ago, which
association of gentlemen" was found to
have no power and came to nothing. 1t is
question whether the new agreement con-
fers upon anybody more power than the old
one. 1t is stipulated, indeed, that any Off
cial or employe who may disregard the
established rates shall be at once dis
charged. But discharged by whom? What
power could discharge Gould from the
Presidency of the Missouri Pacific, or Hunt
ington from the Presidency of the Southern
Pacific? Even the form of agreement is
about as frail as it well can be- The com
pact really insures term of six months
only. There seems every reason to expect
that this eXpedent for controlling railroad
competition will come to TIE same fruitIess
issue as all that preceded ii,

Special to THE MoRNINs CALL

PORTLAND (Oregon), Dec. 19.-On Deem
Der Sth Charles r. Barnett, citizen of
Kentucky, filed petition in the United
States Circuit Court, asking for the appoint
ment of a receiver for the Northwest Fire
and Marine Insur ance Company. The cor
rOration was incorporated under the laws of
orego n, with the principal Office in this city.
Ten days were given the insurance company
10 answer the petition. The case was called
in court to-day, but as the parties to the
suit were not quite ready the hearing was
postponed till this afternoon. In the petition
Barnett alleges that he is the owner of 125
shares of the original capital stock; that the
false accounts and statements for the pur-
pose of doceiving, misleading and deluding
the stockholders and for the purpose of
misleading the State officers whose duty 1t
is TO look after the affairs of all insurance
companies in the State and for the further
purpose CT deluding the public generally.
TIE petition further alleges that on October
20, 1890, the Directors levied an assessment
Of so per cent on The subscribed stock, giving
fourteen days only TO pay the same, well
knowing that owing to the financial string
ency the holders must forfeit their holdings
and when the forfeit should occur the Di-
rectors would be given an opportunity to
buy in the sock; that the affairs of the cor
poration did not warrant such action, save
for the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the personal in
terests of the Directors. The petition fur
Their sets forth that the business of the cor
Poration can now be wound up with but
slight loss TO the stockholders, but if further
conducted as at present will result ill less to
the shaTeDO lGerS and Will continue menace
to the public doing business with the Ger
poratfon. ~Secretary Of State Mcbride ex-
am ined the company's books November Goth
last, and his examination as published
showed the total assets of the company to
be S264 1913 IS and liabilities S1l3,4S2 70.
Upon this showing the Directors Will
probably ask that the petition be set aside
and that the company be allowed to con-
tinue business. The hearing is now IN
progress. The company has risks through
