IReprinted from the Hartford Times.I AN INDEMNITY VS. A VALUED
 POLICY.

Indemnity and CO-insurance, and the Diff ferent Plans of Business.
 Remarks made in the state senate, July 2, 1895, by Hon. Edward E. Fuller, of Holland, twenty fourth district, chairman Of the commit tee on insurance, on house bill No 561, entitled, .'An Act Relating to Fire Insurance Contracts and Actions Thereon"
 II would have been very gratifying to myself, and no doubt more edifying and instructive to you, had I been able to have made 8 carefully prepared address on the subject before us; but the multifarious duties and questions demanding our leg islative consideration have made such drafts upon my time and thought that it has been absolutely impossible so to.do. And I shall, therefore, be obliged to de- pend, in what may say this afternoon, upon such inspiration as my interest in the subject and my knowledge of it shall suggest.
 If the motion of the Senator from the Fourteenth shall prevail, and the report of the minority be substituted for that of the majority and enacted into law, it will mean the absolute reversal of the insur- ance policy of the State for the past one hundred years, and the substitution in it's place of policy exactly the reverse and 1 have faith to believe that you will de- mand strong and convincing reasons be- fore you, by your vote, decide to launch the State into such new and untried scheme.
 THE NECESSITY FOR INSURANCE.
 Insurance is absolutely necessary for the business of the world. The great in- dustries of the world could not be carried on, and the great enterprises of mankind would languish and die, were it not for the protection afforded by insurance. What manufacturer. merchant, business man, or farmer would dare continue in business without the protection of insur- ance. knowing that in one night the ac- cident of fire would make him bank. rupt? Better go out of business and de- posit his money in banks and bonds and stocks, only that without the protection which Insurance gives. there would be but few banks and bonds and stocks in which to invest, so bound up are they in the protection which insurance affords.
 It has been computed that the annual loss by fire of insured property thorough out the world amounts to more than $2O0, 900, ,000, and that nearllS one-half Of SA A ~ FERzu r1uNuN6 6sKyS

ABSOLUTEEY pURE

An accident took place in the two- tenement house on Church street in Wales, owned by H. E. Shaw, few nights ago, which caused considerable damage. The house is an old one, and had in the center an enormous brick chimney, Affect square at the base, containing bake oven, which had been converted into closet. It is supposed that during some of the recent thunder-showers the chimney had been struck by lightning and the whole struc- turealoosened At any rate, about rnid- night lew days ago the occupants of the house were awakened by tremendous noise, which proved to be the falling of the chim9ey into the cellar. In it's fall two stoves were carried along, and four rooms in the house were left without walls on one side. The damage has been repaired, and new chimney built The top of the chimney did not fall, but re- mained upright on the idge-pole.
