SARATOGA, n. Y, July 3O.-Senator
James L. Pugh, Of Alabama, is at the
American resting. He reSd the recent

- with intense interest.
'Mr Vest Is right" said the Ala
bamlan. Then he wrote OUT this as a
reflection of his own views:
''SeRator Pugh says that the uncOn-
ditiOnal repeal OF the sherman law
would place silver where it was under
the act Of 1873, and would amount 70 a
recognition aud endorsement Of that
law which every DemOctat 90 de-
pounced asa crime. SenaN nan

WILDCAT INSURANCE.
4 Long List Of Fairy Companies Used
By a Cincinnati Concern.
METHODS OF ]. F. RUNCK 6 co.
They Place Policies With Com
panies That Have no Existence.
Trouble Threatened the Agents
Who Covered the Risk-A Bold
Swindle Revealed.

CINCINNATI, July 3o.-There Is an In
surance agency on Third street, In this
city, located in the Enterprise Build
ing, known as j. f. Runck & Co., who
are said to do large and profitable
business.
From time to time stories have drift
ed up TO the Government Building, but
till lately no action has been taken In
the matter. But direct complaint hav-
Ing been made to Postofiice Inspector In
Charge Bsarss, he referred them 10 In
spector Holden, who has been quietly at
work on case against the firm. IL Is
charged that they have been using the
U. 5. mails for the purpose OF further-
ing some fraudulent insurance schemes,
and this is being investigated.
A few weeks ago the Madisonyille
Planning Mil made an assignment 90
Frank X. Rodman, and when that par
~ overhauled the assets OF the com
pany he found the following interest
ing list Of policies:
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1893-07-31

On this there appears 10 have beok
charged the sum OF stOs, or at the rate
OF from $3.50 20 $500 per 1000 for
different policies.
An examination OF the report OF the
Superintendent OF Insurance fails 20
! show the names OF any one OF those
! concerns as being licensed 10 do business
10 the State Of Ohio, and inquiry on
| Third street resulted In the finding q
consensus OF opinion among reliable
underwriters that these and some other
companies handled by the firm mem
toned, have no existence outside OF the
Offices OF the Runcks and similar
handlers Of wildcat insurance oil ever
the land
"The Runcts," as they are called,
are widely knoVp over the face OF the
country. There's 90 hamlet too small,
no city TOO large TO b--Stdi the way Of
their circulars. With IN clresA2rs
they send out they iDclose ~ N
companies, many OF which are
| fectly solvent, as I'm tho case OF !.
! Cincinnati concerns, the officers OF
which are very pronounced IN the
denunciation OF the scheme, and say
| Llty uO uO Dutiut1n WuahNNtN WIN thN
Rnncks, and did not authorize the use
OF the names Of their companies by
them. The companies named by them
are as follows:
Cincinnati Stock CompanIes--Mer-
chants aud MAnuiacturers'. Security,
National, Washington, Firemau's,
Eagle, Fidelity, Miami Valley, Eureka,
Commercial, Cincinnati, Globe.
Ohio Stock CompAnies--Sandqsky,

Mansfield. Sun, Steedman. United Man-
ufacturers', Mutual Fire, Peoples, Ohio
MillerJ Western, German. Northern.
When In answer 70 one OF their cir
culars the Runcks have the luck 10 get
an order for some insurance they are
said TO put IL In some Of the wildcat
concerns and make some plausible ex-
cuse a. to Why they did not put IL in
