ANNUAL REPORT.
Forty-Ninth Annual Report of the
Largest Life Insurance Company in
the World.

Forty-Ninth Annual Report of the
Largest Life Insurance Company in
the World.
The forty-Dinth annual report of the
Mutual Life Insurance company shows
the extent of it's operations during the
past year and it's financial condition on
December 81, 1891. Each successive
report has usually been declared to be
"the best in the history of the com
pany." The report for 1891 is no ex-
ception, demonstrating as it does the
increasing popularity Of the Mutual Life
and the extension Of the benefits con-
.arred upon those fortunate enough to
hold its policies. The assets now
amount in the aggregate to $15a, ,507,-
138. .68, and the liabilities to $l47 49,
III So. The surplus fund for the pay
ment of dividends and to insure the
policy-holder against every emergency
amounts to $1,000, ,967.16. But for the
former system of the Mutual, which
allowed its policy-holders to reap i'm
mediately the benefit of the profits
accrued in the form ofannual dividends,
the amount credited to this account
would be largely in excess of the surplus
of any other company.
During the twelve months the policy
holders of this company received $18,-
5,711 .S6, against SIG, ,973, 200. .05 in 1890,
an increase OF payments for the year of
81 1882, ,511.S1. This was not due to any
marked increase in the mortality rate,
but to the enormous growth of the COM
pany's business and the wider extent of
it's operations. The Mutual Life has
now 225 507 policies in force, insuring
$685., 1853, ,46l.03. The company in this
report has as far as possible eliminated
all policies issued and mot taken"
Attention is directed to the report OF
the examining committee of trustees
which has carefully examined every
item OF this report and every investment
of the company and declares:
SIN making this certificate the COM
mittee bear testimony to the high char
acter of the investments of the company
and express their appreciation of the
system, order and accuracy with which
the accounts and vouchers have been
kept, and the business in general is
transacted"

in 1891 than in any previous year of its
history, and maintains the proud posi-
tion which this company has attained in
the minds of the discriminating public

GAS AND wHIsxY
Cause the Death Of Boarder at Carnegie
Hotel.


Hotel.
Coroner Mcdowell will resume the in
quest to-day on the body of Anthony New
house, who was found dead in the Carnegie
Hotel at Munhall on Sunday last The
body of the man presented most horrible
sight The feet and legs, which look as if
they had been cooked, are burnt black in
places and the skin has literally burst
open In great holes. The face is also dis
colored and appears to have been roasted.
When the Coroner viewed the body he
at once ordered an autopsy to be held.
After an examination last night it was
found death was caused BY asphy1ia, pre-
sumably through the inhaling Of gas and
further superinduced by the copious use of
whisky. At the partial inquest yes
terday it developed that Newhouse
had gone to his room on Saturday afternoon
about o'clock, taking with him quart
bottle of whisky. He did not appear at the
supper table that night, nor for breakfast or
dinner on Sunday, and Mrs Niver, the
housekeeper, became uneasy.
She went to his room in the afternoon
and saw him halt sitting and half lying on
the bed, and supposing he was dressing did
not disturb him. She noticed that he had
drawn a gas stove over to the bedside, and
the gas in it was burning.
Later she again visited the room accom-
panied by boarder and found Newhouse
dead. The deceased is comparatively un-
known.

MISTAKES OF THE CLERKS.

The Reason Given for Discrepancies in the
Triennial Assessment in the Classifica-
ton of City Lots-Captain Seeley's Claim
Allowed-A Mix IN Notices.
The Finn and Lowery plan Of lots on
Atwood, Boquet and semple streets was the
first case taken up at the hearing of assess
ment appeals yesterday. The appeal Is on
classification, the assessors having classified
the property as full taxable, while the ap-
pellants claim 1t should be rural. In the
testimony the city tried to establish that
the lots on Atwood and Boquet streets were
classified full, because those streets were
paved. The appellants attorney raised the
question that other properties on various
improved streets were assessed as rural and
Cited instances The assessors said any
such cases were caused by mistakes of the
clerks, but the appellants objected to any
such testimony on the ground that 1t was
facts as they exist, not mistakes OF the
clerks which were being Investigated.
The Murdoch cases on Fifth avenue were
next taken up. Charles jerks, who had
purchased 25-foot lot adjoining for IS, 700,
declared it was worth only S120 foot. 1t
is assessed at $3.50. w. D, Casey fixed the
value at $40 to S15O a foot.
Captain Seeley's appeal was next The
question of valuation was amicably settled
and the appeal was on classification. He
testified his property on Highland fenue
was 169x234 feet, on half of which he raises
a crsp of hay each year. This he
considered rural although acknow-
Lodging that values had greatly
increased, but he claimed new street had
been projected throug the property and on
it the assessment had been made though the
street was not yet opened. The case was
settled BY allowing his claim.
The property OF D. W. G. Bidwell, on
Ellsworth avenue and Bidwell, Bayard and
Wsllingford streets, was the last taken up.
Three and half acres on the former street
had been assessed at S105, 900; lot on Bay
ard street at 81, 500; on Lilac street at s., 250
and 200 feet on WalIingford street at $14,-
0Oo The owner in his appeal valued the
Ellsworth property at but $47, 900; the
Lilac street lot at 81, 800 and the Walling-
ford street lot at 1000, a valuation on the
latter of only $40 foot. The appeal was
Endorsed refused" and was put in evil
dence, as was also postal card notice to
the owner that informed him the appeal had
been granted. Mr.. Larkin, who was testi-
fying, said he did not know how the COM
plication could have been made. While
evidence in the assessors records on the
point was being looked up, an adjournment
was taken

HARRISON IS SCORED.

Rev. Donehoo Reads a Paper on the Chi
nese of America.
The Presbyterian ministers meeting yes
terday morning filled the room in the First
Church. The paper read was by Rev. E. r.
Donehoo on "The Chinese in the United
States" It eulogized the Chinese as firm
race needed in this country, true and faith
full.
Mr. Donehoo was very severe in his ar
raignnient of the Chinese exclusion act
He characterized it as unjust; unchrist'an,
cruelty exceptional and barbarous gener-
ally. He criticized President Harrison for
signing this bill, especially as he had op-
posedit when United States Senator.
Harrison, a Presbyterian elder, under
solemn VOWS to do what was right before
God, signed this iniquitous measure to Sc
cure the vote of the Pacific States. 81
thank God," said Mr.. Donehoo, that Har-
rison did not get the vote of single State
on the Pacific slope. He got his Just pun
ishment"
DR.. A. P. Happier, for 40 years mission
ary in China, spoke highly of the work be-
ing done for the Chinese in this country.
He said the Chinese Government wanted
their people to stay at home, and would
rather rejoice in the prohibition, were it
not for the implied indignity. He thought
restrictive legislation could be passed In o
less offensive form. He suggested, as every
Chinaman comes to us through the British
possessions, that the law prohibit Chinese
immigration to us from the British colonies.
The association appointed Rev. Drs
Gibson and Chalfant ITO assure the Mayor
of Pittsburg OF their hearty approval OF his
attempts to enforce the laws against illegal
liquor selling and the social evil" The
committee was most cordially received. and
the Mayors very acceptable response, with
emphasis, was, "All right"

fault of $500 for hearing on Saturday.
The defendant. from what Constable
Schurtzinger knows of the case, is a very
ungrateful man. The girl is but 20 wears

orphan about year ago at her home in

girl was left little money, and as her
lover had none she offered to advance him
the necessary amount He consented and
she very literally gave him 5000 over that
sum. They came over in the same ship
and on to Pittsburg. where Zumatzin got
work at Zug's mill and the girl got place

SPAIN NEARLY BANKRUPT.
Four Billion Francs of Her Securities Held
in France.

PARIS, Nov. 2L-The Banque do Paris
ct do PAY Bas has advanced the Spanish
Government another %, 1000, 900 francs. This
makes 75,OOo,000 francs advanced by the
bank. In loaning the money the bank i'm
poses a condition that the Cortes meet at
the beginning of December and authorize
the Government to raise a large loan, part
OF which shall be used to repay the bank.
The Spanish opposition is organizing to
compel g full discussion of the financial
embarrassment and to prevent the minis
ters from rushing loan bill through. If.
the debate is protracted it NAV end in the
suspension of the payment of interest on
the national debt, the Rothschilds having
ALREADY declined to advance more money.
They are now clamoring for the payment of
advances made BY them. 1t is estimated
that 4, 600, ,OOO, 900 francs in Spanish securi-
ties are held in France Spanish bank
ruptcy, coming on top of the collapse of
the Panama Canal Company, would be
heavy blow to French industry.

INTERESTED THE POPE.

He Follows the Campaign Here and
Watches the Public Developments.
ROME, Nov. 2L-The Pope followed with
the liveliest attention the recent Presidential
struggle in the United States. He had
special reports concerning the progress Of
the campaign and the result of the election
sent to him. His Holiness has no special
sympathy with either of the great American
parties, but his sympathy with and
admiration for the United States
make him desious of knowing all
the developments Nof the public

ion on both political and social questions

view of Florence, has an article attacking

provising, as it does, the interest which
the United States has in the Pope's policy,
and its development toward democratic
Catholicism.
The Vatican is we'll satisfied with the re-
suits of the italian elections. because in the
great towns, out of the total of possible
voters, only fifth or fourth have gone to
the polls. This Indifference of the electoral
body is the best justification of the Pope's
tactics, and proves that without peace being
made with the Vatican the political life of
Italy has become sterile. The periodic
reports current about the Pope having been
Ill seem to arise from two causes: First,
that he is wont to seclude himself. in order
to work more at his ease, and, next, that
his death is desired by all those
to whom his democratic and repub-
lican tendencies are obnoxious. All
rumors that he is ailing should be held
doubtful At present ne enjoys good

one who daily sees him. For a number of
weeks past, since the intense heat of sum-

hours in the night, can devote the rest of
the day to business or to intellectual work.

BEFORE HIS FATHERS EYES
Andrew Borosh Sets on a Blast Which
Kills His 15-Year-Old Son.

Kills His 15-Year-Old Son.
Andrew Boroski, lad of Is years, was
killed in the Oak Ridge coal mines at Oak
dale yesterday while helping his father take
out his coal. The father and son were in a
room and had "shot" lot of slate. The
mass did not fall and the father started to
agitate it to loosen it. The boy stood off to
one side as the mass was falling and some
three tons of 1t came down. A piece of
slate weighing not more than pound flew
boy on the temple, killing him instantly.
Not particle fell on his body and the
father could hardly realize the extent OF the
accident and is heartbroken over it.
Squire ]. Mob. Robb held an inquest and
a verdict of accidental death was found.
Boroski lost another son two years ago the
same way.
