Insuring Against Bad Tenants.

There has lately been organized a rent
guarantee company, the business Of
which is to insure landlords against loss
by bad tenants.
The scope Of this company is a little
wider than it would seem at first. In or
der to reduce it's risks to minimum it
makes business of'keeping informed as
to the standing of tenants, and for aeon
sideration landlords are supplied with
information which often enables them to
keep undesirable tenants out Of their
houses.
The business may still be said to be in
Its experimental stage, but the idea
seems to meet with favor among land
lords. Insurance men believe the princi-
Pile can be successfully carried out in
this direction, though the experience of
two or three companies may be neces-
sary before rates can be correctly estab-
lished and the business placed on per-
feet basis. Boston Globe.

AN IMPORTANT CASE.
Which VIII Determine the Rights of
Managing Owners.

An important and interesting case is
on before Judge Foster in the court
chambers. Parker M. Reed and Harriet
S. Reed of Bath bring two bills in equity
against Arthur Sewall & Co., also of
Bath. The plaintiffs were owners in the
ship Indiana, and had a thirty-second
interest in her. Arthur Sewall & Co.
were the managing owners. The plain
tiffs claim that the vessels accounts
have never been settled, and that there
are now funds in Sewall d Co.'s hands
which should be divided, and that they
should receive their part.
A very important question arises in
this case, which is whether the manag-
ing owners of vessel have right to
purchase cargo and insure the same
without notifying the other owners.
In the spring of 1885, Arthur Sewall
& Co., as agents of the ship, purchased
cargo of wheat in San Francisco on ac-
count of the owners. without the sane
ton of the plaintiffs.
Mr.. Reed and his wife claim that Ar
thur Sewall & Co. have retained earnings
since that time to make good loss
which was incurred by the transaction,
and that during four years, in which the
vessel was making earnings, no state
ment was rendered to the plaintiffs.
Benjamin Thompson is counsel for the
plaintiffs, and Symonds, Snow & Cook
for "a rthur SeWall q Co.

The Trickey's Collision with the Governor
1t will be remembe that two weeks
ago the Portland schooner Charles II.
Trickey was in collision with the
schooner Governor of Castine, and the
Governor was cut down at once. The
Trickey arrived here yesterday, and was
examined with view of making re-
pairs. Apparently she is in fair condi-
ton, and it is thought that it will not
cost more than 5000 to make her all right
again.
According to those who are on board
the Trickey at the time of the accident,
it was time of great excitement, and of
the greatest possible danger. The first
they noticed was when the red light of
the Governor was under their bow, and
they then had no time to act. All that
they could do was to hold on and see
what was coming. It was question of
life and death with both schooners.
Both were deep loaded, the Governor
with paving blocks, and the Tricky
with coal There is something remark
ably bad about coal laden schooner.
1t WILL Dc femem DeTeQ GndG one u uHcui
vanquished vessel of the United States
navy but few years ago.
The Tricky struck the Governor head
on, and most tremendous blow it was.
In the expressive words of one who was
there, @The schooner walked right
through the Governor, cutting her house
open to the middle" The force of the
blow was so great that there was scant
time for the crew of the Governor to
reach the deck of the Trickey. They
hadn't turned around before their
schooner was under water" said the mate
of the Tricky.
In the event of legal proceedings being
commenced by the owners of the Gov
ernor, it will be claimed that the
Trickey was not at fault in the matter.
The night was clear, but for some
reason the crew Of neither vessel seems to
have noticed the other schooner, and the
accident took them all by surprise.

TRUSTS AND THE TARIFF.
Erroneous Claims of the Free-Trade Dem
ocrats.

Erroneous Claims of the Free-Trade Dem
ocrats.
The trouble which has arisen over
the trusts and their securities has re
vived the discussion as to the best
means for preventing such combina-
tions. They are contrary to the laws
of the country, but the laws appear in
sufficient for the work designed for
them. The free traders are once more
claiming that the only remedy lies in
the cutting off of all protective duties,
and assert that ifit were not for pro-
lection there would be no trusts. The
fact is that the strongest trusts in this
country to-day are in no way affected
by tariffs. The Standard oil and coal
combinations would not be disturbed
by change from protection to free
trade, and a half dozen other trusts are
in about the same situation. A glance
at free trade England is sufficient to
show that trusts can flourish without
protection. Nowhere are these indus
trial com mbinations so strong as in Great
Britain, where they are not helped in
the least by customs duties. 1t might
be well in this country to abolish the
duties on articles upon whose home pro-
duction there is a com nbination. but such
action would not kill the trusts, and
those who claim that it would are blind
to the facts as they appear.-Troy
