Equitable Fire LIoyds.

The New York Journal of Commerce
says the Equitable Fire Lloyds has
stopped underwriting, and it's risks have
been relnsured in tine East River Mutual
Insurance Company.
Attorney PC. Ralli said yesterday:
We retire ON account of there being too
many Lloyds in the business. which cut
rates and pay excessive commissions.
There is too much competition. We
wrote about 100000 in premiums per
year. The East River Mutual Insurance
Company will substitute it's policies for
ours. Amy just claims will be paid on
presentation"
The Equitable Fire Lloyds started with
twenty subscriber and wrote lines of
SO, 900 on spr1nkled risks, and $4,000 on
unsprinkled risks. Next to the Mer-
chants Fire Lloyds to which Henry
Gritfen is attorney, the Equitable was
the oldest LlCyds in this country writ
ing general business over. the counter.
it, having starsed in May, 1892. 1t is
probable that it's withdrawal is due to
the fact that the large increase in the
number of Lloyds has reduced it's in
come very materially, so that the losses
incurred bore greater proportion to
the income than in 1891.

THE TYPHOID FEVER.
Fewer Cases Reported as to
the Cause of It,

The TYPHOID fever in t his city seems to be
on the wane. Only one case was reported
yesterday,and one Tuesday. Since Septem-
Der 10Th, when the PRESS reported forty
eight cases, there have been total of thir-
teen new casessreported. The total number
of deaths. from the disease since August IL
has been eight.
No more definite information as to the. or
igin of the disease has been obtained.
There seems to be very little reason for at
tributing it to the Sebago water. Had the
water been bad it is.probable that the popu-
laton of fifty thousand using it in Port
land and neighborhood would have de-
veloped an epidemic far exceeding the
present.
Typhoid fever is almost always found
occurring after prolonged drought. such
as we. have had this fall. This year is no
exception. and it is reported. FROM several
places in Maine besides. PoI tland. In some
of those places it,has been attributed to the
milk supply. 1t is reasoned that the water
in the country whence the milk comes may
very likely be impure land that this may re-
suit in contamination of milk. Many farm
ers water their stock from wells right be-
side the barn-yard or even in the cattle
tie-up, where the DRAWINGS of.the yard and
barn cannot fail to go into the we'll. Cows
drinking such water might afford deleteri-
Gus milk.
1t is we'll known TACT that many of the
Portland peopleEwho have typhoid fever
contract it while on their vacations, and
come home sick with it. This is the case
every fall.

A BRUTE ARRESTED.
who Infiicts Savage Bite on ohicer Spar
row.

Last night a soldier from the fort about
twenty-five years of age, who was fighting
drunk, went into Mrs. Johnson's house near
the Stafford block. A young man named
Frank Smith told him to get out of the
house. He then sprang at him Selling
Smith by the throat and nearly Forcing him
out of the window. The soldier then left
the house and went out on the street. There
lie encountered woman named Hannah
Boyce and. without any provooation at
tackled her and.beat her badly.
By this time the people in the vicinity
had become aware of what was going on
and Officer Sparrow was notified. He ar
rested the soldier and, as the fellow was
obstreperous. ironed him. Then he led
him to the telephone box to call the wagon.
AS he pulled the call the fellow twisted
his head round and gave Sparrow an ugly
and vicious bite in the wrist. With consid-
cradle promptness Sparrow brought the
other closed hand down on the fellows
head and he saw stars if he never did be-
FORE The soldier either couldn't or
wouldn't give his name at the station. DIR.
Nickerson dressed Sparrow's wound and
the officer was ordered to go home and
take care that he didn't get cold in the
wound.

The Threatened Cyclone.

There is a posi- pility that New England
may escape sthe rigors.-o the 1.-THE threat
ened tornado. There is a high pressure
area around the.great lakes and the CEN
trail region. This is gradually moving east
ward. If it movesftoo fast it will pass over
New England before the storm sarrives,
but If itsmoves slowly enough it may.reach
the Northern ssAtlantic coast at the proper
time, and SO act a barrier against the
West India storm Should the high area
pressure reach the coast at the same time
as the storm, there are two possibilities, the
storm may absorb the high.pressure .area
or the high pressure area may force the
storm to the ocean, in which case it would
be decidedly dangerous for shipping.
Another factor also enters into the case.
There is a low pressure area.in Montana
and if this. should Gravel eastward fast
enough to meet tie high pressure area, it
would much weaken the latter ssand SO af-
ford clear opening for the storm.
The Weather Bureau officials will not
venture a prediction as to thesexact day on
which the storm will reach here, as they
maintain sstheIe are SO smany things.that
enter into such a consideration. All they
will say is that it is coming and that its
natural course is ups the Atlantic coast.

The International Steamer.
70 the Editor of the PRESS:

10 the Editor OF the PRESS:
In your paper of yesterday is an arti-
Gle relating to the contracts for building
a new steamer for the International
Steamship Company. In this article no
mention is made of the Portland Com
pany as bidder, which however, is a
fact, and all Portlanders are interested
for the success of their home shop. The
well known excellence of the steam boat
machinery heretofore turned out by the
Portland Company ought TO be sutfic-
lent guarantee to the committee of the
steam boat company for the satisfactory
performance or the new steamer if the
Portland Company should be so forum
ate as to secure the contract for the mo-
tive power. As we all know, business is
not crowding any of the eastern ma
chine shops at the present time, and the
work that this steamer would furnish
to the Portland mechanics this winter
would be most acceptable We under
stand the amount that would have to be
paid in wages on this work will exceed
$50, 900. 1t Bath gets the contract for
the hull, it would not be unreasonable
for our Portland Works to expect the
contract for the machinery, presuming
all other considerations than those men
TONED above to be about equal. NJ.

TIE MAINE ELECTION.
Clerk of Courts Stone Found That There
Was Interest in 1t in Chicamauga Fields.

Clerk of Courts B. G. stone, who has re-
turned from the convention of the Odd
Fellows at Chattanooga tells good story
about his visit to the battlefield sof Chica-
manga. The delegates rode in carriages,
the name of the states from which they
came being painted on the vehicles. On
the carriage in which Mr.. Stone rode the
word MAINE" was painted in large let
tiers. AS the procession moved along
special ors, including many negroes, gath
cred to observe it. The Maine carriages
were much observed. especially by the ne
groes. Finally ,one old darkie, after having
labori ously spelled out Marine, Maine"
shouted: Say, Maine, why didn't you let
the Democrats know that you were going
to have an election the other day."
