Chicago. ILL.,, Nov. BIN a decision
rendered by Judge Horton Saturday
an Old-time rule of accident insurance
companies was reversed and insurance
men were surprised to learn that the
position they had so long held wns
untenable: The court declared that
an insurance company was liable on an
accident policy even though 1t was
shown that the holder had not excrc's-
ed "due care" as the policy-contract
reads.
The court, passing upon the bill of
Mrs. Harriet Miller against the Mn-
tual Accident Association of the North
west sustained the position taken by
the complainant that the defendant
was liable for Insurance, although the
accident to the policy holder was the
result of his own carelsssness. ObJcc-

"The parsons are preaching, the good

these combined influences Tammany

large odds We're given in favor OF
Morton and the Republican state ticket
There was n good deal of money in
vested MT the uptown hotels last night,
but Hill and Grant men We're very
scarce on the stock exchange yestcc-
day, and many tempting offers in favor
of Morton passed unnoticed. +. +.
Adams repeatedly offered three Jumps
of $4,000 against $1,000 on Morton's
election, or $4,000 to $1,000 that he
would receive 25.000 plurality, but was
able to place only one wager of $1,000
to 50, 900 on that proposition. James a.
Blair made one bet of $4,000 to $10,-
600 that Strong would be elected may
or. and another 5000 to $1,000, but
he could not get anybody TO risk his
money on Hill. AL Smith made three
bets in the Gilscy house on Norton The
first was $1,000 at $500, the second,
s.. 900 to $1,000 and the third, $1,000 to
500 The men who put up the Hill
money refused to give their names.

since their arrival they have concluded
that the situation does not justify the
