NOT A REAL INCREASE.
Superintendent NJ. Cully's Explana-
ti0n of the $3.50 Rate.

In other cities of the State there is more
or less of a kick among business men VINO
moved their offices this spring aud who
claim that the New York and New JERSEY
Telephone Company is trying to force
them into paying $50 more a year for
telephone service where it was necessary
to remove the instruments ana wires to
connect them to their new place of
business. The object of the company is
said to be to gradually introduce the
long distance telephone, and do away en-
tirelv with those now commonly in use.
The charge of the old style telephoue was
800 a year for service within q distance
of one mile from the Central office.
Superintendent McCully of this city
was seen by a reporter for The NEWS this
morning Ia his office in the new Tele-
phone Building at Erie and Bay streets.
He denied that the patrons are compelled
to pay the additional $50 unless they de-
sired an improved service. 81.
VARYING CIRCUITS.
He said:-''1f a Grand street subscriber
desires to locate his telephone in Newark
avenue it is necessary for him to take
used, and as the poles now carry as many
wires as they will safely hold,
cables have been constructed, In
which many wires are placed
in small compass and In this way Iaclll-
ties are offered for the growth of the busi-
ness. In case single or grounded wire
subscriber from the Grand street line
moves to Newark avenue his connection
must necessarily be made through a cable
running along Newark avenue or In that
vicinity.
A single line wire on grounded wire can
not be used satisfactory in cable, as the
conversation over such a wire Is i'm
mediately taken up by its adjoining wires
through induction. TO overcome this
condition, wires in cables are
always laid up or formed into
twisted pairs, and a subscriber
uses. two distinct wires for his
telephone to the Central Office. Naturally
such equipment cannot be supplied at
the same rate as If the subscribers were
using one single line. The company
therefore charges at the rate of $3.50 for
double line with the most approved in
struments of the day.
AN ALTERNATIVE.
"Another rate of 500 is open to the
public for its acceptance. This rate Is
not higher than the one previously Offer
ed to the public, but the telephone Is
placed In the same metallic circuit or
double wire In connection with some
other subscribers. The fact is, therefore,
that the subscriber now receives metal
lie circuit service, with the improved in
struments, at precisely the same rate as
he formerly paid for single grounded
nishes the two subscribers at 500
each, just double the amount of wire.
double the number of instruments that
were formerly furnished to one sub
scriber, but the subscribers receive a
vastly improved service"

MCCARTHY AND TIE RAT.

How Some Boys Had Fun on Month
cello Avenue.
An amusing trick was played by a
pedestrians at Monticello and Fair
view avenues last evening The boys
had found a dead rat and tying string
to the rodents tail pulled it across the
sidewalk causing many pedestrians to
jump about in Ia rather unidentified
cealed behind high board fence and few
Of the frightened pedestrians Caught on

Among the victims was Officer George

Mccarthy is not ON the best ofterms with
the boys in that neighborhood and
street they prepared to give him good
scare.
"Hey, Patsy" yelled one urchin, .'here
comes de bloke what killed me dog"
Lets scare him into de middle of next
week." replied another urchin, and they
came near doing 1t.
When Mccarthy reached the spot, the
rat shot back and forth across the side
walk in u manner that almost
made his hair stand on end. Nc
Carly under ordinary circumstances
is cool man, but the rat, as one of the
boys afterward said, knocked him clean
off his feet" He grabbed his billy and
made lunge at the rat. The rat of
course escaped, and had it not been for

have probably spent half an hour or so
chasing it.
To say he was mad would be putting it

A Tragedy of Errors.


1t was simple mistake, one that any
ordinary person would be liable to fall
into. but while he has made several at
tempts in that direction, Comedian Billy
Crane has not been able SO far to satisfac-
torily explain it,
On one of the recent phenomenally sui
try afternoons Mr.. Crane drifted into one
of those maddening social functions
known as four o'clock tea.
Among those present were two sisters
whose resemblance to each other was so
close that it would mildly perplex new
acquaintance to tell them apart.
The first sister is Il widow. whose hus-
band passed into the eventful uncertainty
about two years ago; the second is the
wife of one of our best known hotel men
in Florida. --...- s.ss- 5.s.sss-.--
Mr.. Crane was acquainted with these
facts in a vague way, but didn't pay par
ticular attention to them. In the course
of events the comedian was captured
by one of the fair ones, and with the
serene conviction that he was talking to
bride Of the Florida man, he did, in the
patois OF the profession. "his prettiest."
"Dear me-" she said, during sequence
of strlkingly original remarks, 'it's warm
isn't it?"
YES" sighed Crane; ''but not half so
hot as where your husband is.''
She rose with highly refrigerated air
and stalked away.
1t was the widow.

ONLY EQUALIZATION OF COURSE.
Co-Insurance so Per Cent. Clause
in One Case and Double
Wire Circuits in the
other.

Throughout the middle department of
the Fire Underwriters Association the
insurance companies are about to adopt
what is known as "the co-insurance
clause" which reads as follows:-
If at the time of fire the whole amount of in
surance on property covered by tins poncy
value thereof, this company shall in case OF loss
or damage be liable for only such portion or
this policy shall bear to the said " per cent. Of
the actual value of such property.
WHY THEY DO IT.
The companies claim they are forceo 70
adopt the above clause as matter OF self
protection, because under the presen
state of affairs patrons only insure Tor
one-third or one-tifth of the value of their
goods, vet draw from the companies the
entire amount of loss. During the past six
months. it is said. tifty-fve insurance
companies have gone to the wall owing to
this system, and the losses of the fire In
surance companies of the United States
exceed the receipts by S22, 100000.
Speaking of the adoption OF the 80 per
cent co-insurance clause this morning,
DR.. N. Eoote, president of the Fire Under
writers Association Of Hudson County
said:--
EQUALIZATION OF COURSE.
SIT is not to put up the 1re Insurance
rates, but rather to eQualize them. The
party carrying full insurance is entitled
to lower rate than the party only in
sured for one-quarter of the value OF his
property. For several years
insurance companies have declined
to insure many classes of property
except with co-insurance clause at
tached to the policy. For full co-insur-
ance clause ten per cent. reduction in rate
has been made. In consequence of the
large number OF partial losses which
proved total loss to insurance compan-
les by reason of insurance being less than
one-half the value of the property, insur-
ance companies adopted the co-insurance
clause and the Tariff Association of New
York, having jurisdiction of rates in New
York, Brooklyn, Jersey City, Hoboken
and Staten Island, on April 26. 1892,
adopted the 80 per cent. co-insurance
clause, to be attached to all poll
cies insuring rated risks. This acuion
was followed by the adoption of the 80
per cent. co-insurance i'll the CitJ of Bal
timore, and there is a probaF nty OF its
being speedily adopted by the under
writer's Of the City of Philadelphia by the
New England Exchange for New Eng
ment, which includes New Jersey
Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland.
1t has been largely adopted through the
West. In those cases where for the
large amount of property to be
insured, as in the Metropolitan
district, the rating Committee of the
New York Tariff Association rs sauthoriZed
to afford relief by fixing the rate for in
surance without the so per cent. co-in-
surance clause. In al4asOther cases the
clause must be used.
