failing resources, and only few weeks
ago its secretary announced the suspen-
sion Of the institution for all time to
CONS, on the alleged pretext of hard
times and incendisry fires. The stock
holders who paid up that Hibernian
dividend of $50 per share want to
know, you know" what has become of
the money so subscribed, in addition to
SAP, 600 OF original capital paid in and
about $4,000 in reinsurance, to all OF
which is to be added the amount re-
ceived Tor premiums during the year.
The presence OF Zulu in the woodpile
is becoming more painfully apparent
every day.
There is growing propensity among
our business men to insure their prop
erty in British and German insurance
COM panies. but we do not believe that
any such condition of affairs would exist
il local companies were managed with
honesty and discretion. Not less than
three millions of money leaves Csllfor-
MIA every year, in the shape of profits to
foreign underwriters, which might be
kept in circulation in California il there
was any such management in domestic
companies as charscterizes those of Lon
don, Paris, Hamburg and Edinburgh.
There is no use OF appealing to the patri-
otism or state pride Of our business men
after such examples of local insurance
management as those just above cited.
What the business men OF California de-
mand and what they will have, if they
have to 60 abroad to get it, is insurance
that will ineure. They want policies
that have some value beyond that of the
paper upon which such policies are
written.

Will it sxhale ana expire, or will it, Sum err

MIR. Hanlon Learns Whore Mira. Mansd cid
Had Placed the $4,000,
Gen. John Mansfield and Mrs. Mans
field appeared in department five yes
terday afternoon, pursuant to an order
made on Tuesday by Judge Shaw. They
were required to answer number of
questions and submit documentary evil
dence which they had previously de-
cined to answer and exhibit, while
their dispositions in certsin pecunisrY
n alters pertaining to the estate OF
Annie A. Pratt, deceased, were being
taken before a notary public.
The witnesses answered the questions
fully, as required by the court, and it
was ordered that they be pu.ged of con-
tempt. The great point which the at
torney for Mrs. Goodspeed had perth
nsciously endeavored to learn was what
Mrs. Mansfield had done with the $4,000
which she had drawn from savings
bank, and upon which Mrs. Mansfield
was just as determined not to impart
any information. Mr.. Hanlon. how
ever, had the satisfaction yesterday
afternoon to learn that Mrs. Mansfield
had concealed the money, which was all
in green backs, in cupboard in her
house at that time. Where it is now, is
another question.

''LET US trace this financial trouble
down to its very root" said Pcpulist
orator the other day. If the Populist
had known where to 60 to look for the
root he would have found one of its
deepest fbers in the panic of 1889. in
London, caused by the crash in securi-
ties of the Argentine Republic. 1t was
this that led up to the failure Of Barring
Brothers, the greatest of sill English
banking houses. Out of this grew the
slow liquidation of indebtedness at the
withdrawal of British capital then being
used in the development of new bust
ness enterprises in America and Aus
trslia alike. The brakes were put on,
the screws began to tighten and all the
debtor nations in the great world of
commerce began to feel the pinch as
England and Germany. the two great
creditor nations, began to put ON the
cramp.

Chicago colony of Los Angeles is des-
tined to be added to amazingly from

we'll prepare to see itself extended from
the mountains to the sea, for that is its
inevitable destiny. The number OF peo-
pie who have made mp their minds to

It is such 8 condition OF things which
explains the fact that we are now put

standing, at the rate OF four and a half

INSURANCE THAT DOES NOT INSURE,

The decentralization of the fire insur-
ance business in this state is something
which, like the peace OF God, "passeth
all understanding" One would sup
pose that, with the individual labil-
ity" clause, which was migrated into
the constitution of the state, in conse-
quence OF the great bank failures of 1866,
there could be some protection for the
creditors Of all corporations whose d.
rectors are ostensibly rich men. But
the history of banking and insurance
companies in this state shows to the
contrary; and it is of the latter that We
would speak at present.
The Bank of California was incorpo-
rated in the winter OF 1S62-63 with the
undivided surplus of the old California
Steam Navigation company, amounting
to $340, 900, az its nucleus. Shortly att
erwards the proposition was made to
organize an insurance company as a
''tender behind" to the bank, and the
company was called the Pacific Insur-
ance company, with OLD Jonathan Hunt
as its president. The company went
along at great rate until the Chicago
fire OF 1871, when it's Losses IN that city
cut such a swsth into its belongings
that it disincorpoTated, after paying
about 40 cents or the dollar, and went
wholly out OF existence.
Next came the State Investment and
Insurance company OF San Francisco,
with PSter Donan1e as president and
Charles Cushing as secretary. Nothing
could be stronger than a corporation
with solid old Peter at the head OF it,
For ten years its earnings must have
been enormous. Its title-plates were to
be seen tackled over every farmhouse
door from Sacramento to Seattle, and 40
better Investment was asked than the
stock of that company. One day old
Peter paid the debt of nature aud his
stock went into other hands; and then
began series of mishaps, to call them
by the mildest possible term, which
wrecked the company. 1t is out of ex-
iBtence today instead of being at the
head of local corporations with a $780,
600 surplus in bank, as it should have
been with any proper sort OF ma mage
ment.
The latest thing in this line is the re-
cent collapse OF the Oakland Home In
surance company, OF which one Moody
was president. Some years ago it was on
a good footing and paving dividends,
but last year it levied an assessment of
$50 per share in order to keep up ita

IT is perhaps too early to discuss DEM
ocratic presidential booms, but there is
some reason to believe that the Demo-
cratic state convention, which was Id
session in Missouri yesterday, gave that
of Bland, the indomitable friend OF sill
yer, a good impetus. The strength of
this courageous and admirable man in
the west would be something altogeth er
out OF the common. There ia great res
son to believe that he could carry about
all the distinctively western states. He
could certainly add to the Democratic
column Colorado, Idaho, Montana,
Washington and Wyoming, and he
could preserve California in the Demo-
cratic fold. II his nomination should
happen to be concident with the re-
turn OF the whole world to the BIZ
metallic theory and practice, his cleo
ton would be sure, and it would be
something in the nature of trium-
phal event.

A Big Sanopile and u Dark Night Com
bins to Cause au Accident.
Albert l.. Ingils, a laboring man. on
the night of the 18th OF April, which he
alleges in his complaint was intensely
dark, came driving along with his horse
and buggy on Central avenue, in this
city. His travels were suspicious until
he rode into a big pile OF sand. which it
seems had been left without a light or
other warning. His buggy was upset,
he himself capsized. the horse famed
and the harness broken. Ingils was
laid up 20 days as the result of the in
iuries he received on that day.
He went out to Investigate as soon as
ne WAS able who was to blame for his
mishap, and learned that the pile of
sand was the property of Dodd &
O'Gara, contractors, who were then
grading Central avenue. Now Ingile
wants $l130 damages, and yesterday
brought suit for that amount in the
superior court.

A River ssSea Seruept,0

Austin Rice, OF East Deerfeld, a
plain, unimaginative farmer, who for
nearly fifty Of the seventy years OF
his life has resided In his quiet home
on the banks Of the Connecticut River,
said a few days ago: "I was neal the
bridge, a little over a week ago, when
I heard what seemed to me like q grunt
followed by o splash. / looked into
the river, and, not more than twenty
five feet away, I saw a big snake.
cts head was out of water, and it's
body raised some six or seven feet.
At the neck the snake was about as
large as q mans leg at the thigh, and
the body was about rs large az an or
binary stovepipe. His eyes were as
large al those of o horse, and his
mouth, which was open, was nearly a
foot across. The color OF his body
was black, and q white stripe around
his mouth extended down to his
paunch. I followed the snake, trying
to keep alongside Of him. At one
place he started for the bank, and I
started away from it. His power Of
locomotion was so strong that he had
no trouble in keeping still in the river
against the current. When he got
alongside a boathouse where some
boys were hammering, he heard tho
noise and raised himself about ten
feet into the air and then fell back in
to the water and disappeared"
Mr.. Rice's reputation for veracity
among his neighbors and acquaint.
