LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY QUITS
Its Members Must BE Reinsured IN
an Indiana Concern


The National Capital Life Insurance
Company. which has carried on busi-
ness in this city for more than seven
wears. will retire from active service
in the near future. The National Capt.
tai Life Insurance Company was or
ganized in 1890. Owing to the hard
times which were experienced in all de-
nartments of business from 1893 TO 1896
its business was limited, and in May,
1896 II consolidated with the Peoples
Beneficial Society OF Indianapolis lnd.'
and the Industrial Association OF New
York.
In speaking of the retirement of the
company from business the president,
Mr.. f. T. Gilman, said: Early in sl
negotiations We're commenced between
the management Of the old Wayne Mu-
mai Life Association of Indianapolis,
locking to a consolidation of the two
associations. Some time in OCTOBER
last the officers of the last named as
sociation decided that it would not rec
ornmend to their members the accept
ance of the life contracts made by the
National Capital Life Insurance Com
pany, but made written proposition
looking to the reinsurance Of the busi-
ness of the local company, setting forth
the terms upon which the reinsurance
could be effected. This proposition con-
tanned conditions so favorable to the
members of the National Capital Life
Insurance Company that its officers
submitted the same to its board of di-
rectors. They, after consideration, rec
commended the plan proposed to the
members of the National Capital Life
Insurance Company, each of whom was
The times., 1898-02-05

served with a copy and request TO
communicate his individual views to
me.
In response to this request out of a
membership of over five thousand only
about twenty-five expressed themselves
as dissatisfied with the plan.
This was considered SO favorable by
the officers and directors that a special
meeting was called fer the purpose OF
taking final action-on the proposition OF
the old Wayne Life Association. AT
that meeting the members We're unani-
nous in their Endorsement of the prop
osition to leinsure in the old Wayne.
THE entire membership of the Ma
tional Capital Life Insurance Company
accepted membership in the Wayne
I Mutual. since which time the National
Capital Life Insurance Company has
paid all claims existing at the time Of
the reinsurance"
Ii was reported yesterday that GER
tain books of record which should have
been turned over TO the new lnsurinS
company were burned. Mr.. Gilman,
however, denied that any books OF rec
ord, documents OF papers had been de-
stroyed.

THE VANDERBILT DEAL
Formal Announcementon the Lines
Predicted
The Market Sluggish and ReaIizing
Heavy Despite the Items
Of Good News

New York, Feb. 4-fF'oimal an
nouneement of the much discussed
arrangement between the New York
Central and Lake Shore companies was
made today. As already stated, Lake
Shore stock is to be received in ex-
change for New York Central 3k per
cent. collateral trust bonds on the basis
of one for two; that is to say, each one
hundred shares Of Lake Shore will re-
ceive $4,000 in the bonds To be issued
by the New York Central. In this way
the absolute control of the Lake Shore
will pass into the hands of the New
York Central in perpetuity, and the
close relations between the properties
will no longer be dependent upon the
manner in which the two stocks may
chance to be held.
The Vanderbilt holdings of Lake
Shore have already been disposed of
subject to these terms, and they We're
sold upon the condition that a reason
able time should be allowed to other
holders of the stock in which to par
ticipate in the scheme. The Vanderbilt
stocks We're all fairly strong in today's
market, which was otherwise Irregular
and not very steady.
The Erie shares advanced on the sale
in London of over $4,000 shares of the
first preferred by prominent Ameri
can capitalist now in that city. 1t is
understood that the same financier has
also disposed of other large blocks OF
various securities with which he has
become identified through reorganiza-
ton proceedings and otherwise.
The Northern Pacifics, Union Pa
cities, Manhattan, Baltimore and Ohio
and the Granger shares were active.
The price changes in these cases were
not extensive notwithstanding the vol
ume of the trading. Foreign houses
We're buyers of a considerable amount
OF stocks in this market notably of the
Erie shares.
There was little news Of general inn
portance, and the most substantial con-
tributions to the situation Were the
gratifying statements of earnings made
by number of companies for the last
week of January. Sterling exchange
was again firm. x Ill i
The market was dull and steady at
the close, --.-z---s

ASTONISHING Condition of Affairs.

A census, which has just been COM
pleted, of Lost Spring and Ramona, two
towns of Kansas, shows an almost ideal
state of existence. There is not 8 vacant
house. not Al Idle man nor boy, and not
a dog in either town. A crusade against
the use of tobacco viii be the next move
by the WON IN of Ramona. IL the women
of these two cities knew of the quality
of Heurich's Maerzen beer, they would un-
doubtedly Introduce it as an aid in per-
fecting the morality of Lost Spring and
Ramona. Phone Arlington BottliDg Co.
for a case, and you'll be happy at your
home on Sunday.

Dun's weekly review of trade viii
say today:
"ActuaI payments through clearing
houses in January made remarba bic
showing, being much larger than in
any previous month. 36.3 per cent.
larger than the same month last year.
and IL per cent. larger than in 1892
The failures in January were smaller
than in any previous year of which
there is record, and We're probably
smaller than in any other January
since 1891. The statement by branches
of business given this week shows a
surprising gain in most departments of
manufacture and trade. Meanwhile the
money market is confident, and gold
does not come from Europe in large
amounts only because bankers find it
worth while to lend American money
abroad. The commercial balances are
as heavily in favor OF the United States
as heretofore. Perhaps the most strik-
ing feature of the week has been the
decline in wheat. During the past week
prices have declined eight cents, al
though there has been no correspond
ing decrease in foreign or domestic de-
mand. The wheat market has turned
largely upon the operations OF a Chi
cago speculator, but the fact remains
that the price depends largely upon
foreign needs and upon the compare
tive scarcity of American supply. The
spot price of cotton remains un-
changed, but the fact that receipts con-
tinue larger than during the same week
of 1895, after the heaviest crop ever
known. checks speculative operations
for an advance.
The iron and steel manufacture is
steadily gaining in consumption of pig
iron. although the production of the
material is still in excess of immediate
demands, but not enough to cause
decline in prices at Pittsburg OF Chi
cago. The demand for car building has
been very heavy, both at the East and
West and the plate demand greatly in
creased at the East, on account OF or
ders from shipyards.
The prospect of combination OF wire
manufacturers has stimulated the de-
mand and raised the price of wire rods.
There is a better demand for cotton
goods since the general stoppage Of
works at the East. but there is no indi-
cation yet of material gain as respects
unsold stocks on hand.

The times., 1898-02-05

The market continues its dismal
course of realizing sales, declines, and
general disconcerting dullness. A week
that started out with some promise
for the long waiting bulls has failed
utterly TO do anything for them. The
days are all alike, and there is moth
ing TO say of yesterday that was not
sa d of Thursday and Wednesday. The
announcement of the definite plan of
reorganization of the Vanderbilt roads,
a large batch of fairly favorably earn
ings, a fairly good London market. and
the absence of any disquieting news of
any kind did not stop the realizing.
The late developments in the Cuban
situation will be a positive factor, and
it may be inferred fairly that there will
be even less strength S in todays
market.

Severely cold weather accompanied
by high winds and heavy snow, has
been feature exercising considera BILE
influence upon the movement and dis
tribution of staple goods this week. The
Northern and Eastern States appear TO
have felt the effects of the storm most
severely, and reports of destitution
come from many points in New Eng
land, the Middle States and the lake
region. Some Improvement in the de-
mand for winter goods is, however, re-
ported as a result thereof. In spite of
this interruption of business a salts
factory trade for the season is reported
in most lines, with special activity re-
ported in the iron and steel trades and
kindred lines.
At the South trade is reported i'm
proved at several Important centers,
and the total of January business is
said to be above the average. The light
freeze did little damage to sFlorida
truck farmers. Steadiness in prices has
been feature of the week, the only de-
creases noted being in wheat, corn and
-four on speculative reaction. and in
lead, while the prices Of oats, beef and
coffee are higher.
