An Old Jersey City Insurance Company
Reinsures Its Risks.
The Jersey City Insurance Company.
one of the oldest ire insurance companies
in the State, has reinsured all its risks i'll
the Liverpool and London and Globe In
surance Company. and will go out of
business. The reason for this is the fall
ing off Of business.
The Jersey City Insurance Company
was organized in i847. The president Of
the company is Nathaniel Foore and the
secretary. G.. r. Patterson. The capital
stock is $3.50, 600 and the surplus on Janu-
airy l last $30,237. Five years ago the sur
plus was $50, 900, but reverses and losses
have reduced it gradually each year.
The income OF the company last year
was SITS. 1914, while the expenses, includ-
ing fire losses, were $l94. 165. The amount
received from premiums was $l61. 900,
and the losses paid amounted to SOS. 600.
Thu ratio of losses 10 recsipts was "A per
cent, and the expense ratio 1874 per cent,
making a total of 1881 per cent. The as
sets of the company We're $434. COO, and
the liabilities 1854. 1862. The stockholders.
it is expected. will now be paid in full,
with possibly a dividend.
Speaking of the insurance business
this morning q we'll known insur-
ance man said:-.'The smaller COM
panies suffer very severely in this
business whsre they have to come In
active competition with the larger coin
panies. The smaller risks are the most
desirable, and unless there are some con-
siderations of friendship, they are gem
orally taken to the larger companies, be-
cause 1T is thought thatthey are stronger,
having Immense interests and q large
surplus. The large risks are really the
least desirable and on these the smaller
companies suffer proportionately greater
loss. This will probably account for the
large fire loss ratio, Of the Jersey City

The County Amateur League

GAMES ON THE CARD TODAY.
Wheelmen's Excursion and Runs
Yachting and Lacrosse
Notes.

The Hedson County League teams are
now getting up a fine article of baseball.
The clubs have been wedding out the in-
ferior players and strengthening their
teams and now the work favor
ably with that of the crack amateur
latent in this vicinity. The players must
play well to hold their places as the
League has attracted the cleverest play
ers who are ambitious to shine In the
League. One of the best catches
has been made by the Loril-
lards who have added Jacko Fields
to their list. There are no openings in the
professional clubs since the rule went
into effect limiting the number of players
and IL is probable that Fields will play
with the Lorillards until the close of the
season. He will probably be made field
captain aud train the players in
work and running bases which have no
been perfect. The Lorillards play the
Jerseys at Hoboken this afternoon and
are confident of administering the first de-
feat In the League series to the Hoboken
team. The Lorillards gave them Il close
call in the first game They had to play
ten innings, but the Jerseys got in the
odd run and won by the low score of
8to2 2.
An interesting game will also he
played at Oakland Park upon the Loril-
lard Clubs field. The teams of the
Scottlsh-American A. {. and st. Joseph's
Lyceum will meet there. Both have i'm
proved their teams. and If in form. will
play limos perfect ball. Each is conf
dent not only of winning, but also of adj
yaucing in the League race.
The match ARRANGED for today between
the Aroma and Montgomery mines has
been chancelled, as the latter cannot get
out their team. Several of its piayeis
are not enjoying the bsnefits of the Sat
urday half holiday law.

ing-NeWs of Interest.

The Palisade Rapid Transit Associ alton
met last evening at The school building in
West Hoboken. Mr.. Day, as president of

for less than S400. 900. lie laughed at the
idea of not being able to. build over the
build the road he would guarantee to
nave it ready in three months. Ii the
c~itizeus wanted to build the lift and
would'subscribe 500, 900. he would fur
nish competent men and supervi Use it per-
sonally. But if they could not raise the
necessary amount, he would procure the
capital for them.
Mr.. Day said he thought they ought to
be able to raise that amount without any
trouble. He favored the plan of forming
a stock company and allowing the citi-
zens to W their W improvements. He
will have a road. We don't care whether
the North Hudson County Railway takes
any action or not"
