ASSESSMENT INSURANCE.
A Receiver Asked for the National Life
 Association of Hartford

A Receiver Asked for the National Life
 Association of Hartford
 Hartford, July 3.-Appication has been made to the superior court for the appointment Of a receiver for the Ma tional Life association of this city, and the hearing will be held on Friday next. The proceedings are taken With the con- sent of the directors of the association. Since the retirement from the presiden- cy of D. s. Fletcher, who was forced out about a year ago by Insurance Com missioner Betts, many things have been urearthed which increase the obligations of the company beyond the previous knowledge of the directors. Contracs were in existance with agents and with policy holders which. apparently, only MT. Fletcher and the holders Of the con- tracts knew about. When Fletcher re- tired $50, 900 additional was put into the association, but its affairs are too much involved to warran continuance. Pol icy holders have dropped out rapidly rather than pay the increased assess mentS.
 The death claims outstanding about to Sl25, GOO or $13000 and low estimate of the assets places them at $20O,000. As the company has done business on an assessment basis, the policies in cases where the insured are still living will have no value.

ONE OF THE FOREMOST WOMEN ENGRAY-
ERs OF THE UNITED STATES DIES
OF NERVOUS PROsTRATION.

The sudden death Of Miss Lois knight AT the
New-York Hospital on Thursday at midnight
brings sorrow TO a wide social circle, and robs the
work-a-day world Of one Of the foremost women
engravers OF the United States.
Miss Knight was born at Utica, Mich. and after
graduating from the high school Of her native
town she came to New-York TO pursue art study at
Cooper Union. where she finished the course with
honor Early perceiving that she could not hope TO
compete successfully with men until the CONNER
cial side OF her calling had been mastered. she went
to Providence r. J.. and entered Of its largest
engraving houses where for two years she worked
side by side with seven hundred men-engravers Of
lifelong experience. The only woman apprentice,
undaunted she labured eight hours day, prohting
by the comparison of her work with engravers OF
established repute. To this practical training she
largely attributed her subsequent success, and
never failed TO urge women who hoped for hveii-

by overwork.
Miss Knights able contribution 10 The Tribune

engraving and illustrating houses Of the city where
her talent was recognized.
Her studio in the Hartford Building, Union

fishers and its latchstring was always out 10 the
struggling aspirant and many young women testify
10 her sympathetic optimism. and the readiness and
dispatch with which she personally lent a helping
hand TO better their fortune.
Miss knight had been working on an invention OF
the engravers' art which she hoped TO perfect IN a
short time The last work that fell from her busy
hands the day before she was taken from her
studio 10 the hospital was book-cover design for
Killings novel The Light That Failed" Despite
extreme exhaustion she dashed the design OIL In a
