REFORM SCHOOL BOOKS.
There was nothing of interest around
the state Offices yesterday. The gov
ernor announced that he had nothing
to give out in the way of appoint
ments to fill vacancies ON his staff, and
there was no news outside the fact that
he and the attorney general and Colo
mel T. J. Stephens, formerly secretary
for the asylum board, We're going over
the accounts. This task will take sew
eral days, and when completed every
thing will be in first-class shape. There
is no one who believes anything is
wrong with the accounts, but as the
books have not been kept in first-class
style it is necessary to make them
conform with the usual system in or
der to have everything correct.
INSURANCE STATEMENTS.
The several insurance companies of
the state are filing their financial state
ments every day and at times there
is quite a rush. Yesterday the fol-
lowing came in The Union Casualty
and Insurance company, the Aetna In
surance company, the New York Life, |
the Penn Mutual, the Month AsSur-
ance company, the London Assurance |
company, the National Fire Insurance
company and the Home Mutual lnsur-
ance company
Some of the agents of these compan-
les have asked the reporters of the |
napers to print the figures which &C
company these statements, but as they |
are properly advertising matter and
have to be printed according to law,
the request will not be acceded to in |
this column. RS
