NO STORM ACCIDENTS.
The Rain Made Plenty Of
Trouble But Did Little
Damage,

No serious accidents were reported to
the police yesterday as the result of the
fierce storm which swept through the
city. The streets were nevertheless food
ed and many cellars in the residential
sections of the city shared similar fate.
When the storm was at it's height and
the wind blowing gale about four
o'clock, the principal streets were desert
ed and business for a time was suspended.
Very few persons ventured on the street
and those who did and were foolish
enough to carry umbrellas, soon found
them turned inside out. Newark avenue,
Montgomery street, Grove street and
Pavonia avenue were literally strewn with
remains of ruined umbrellas.

lands were badly flooded. the water in

LOOSE METHODS.

The present system OF the Gov
vernment in regard to the granting
of charters to corporations is very
loose indeed and highly unsatisfac-
tory. So is the supervision over
corporations which according to law
the Government is supposed to
exact. The recent stock deals have
demonstrated our charge very we'll.
A few citizens apply for a charter.
They attach to their application a
prospectus and some by laws copied
from the last corporation and the
charter is granted without anyone
on bahalf OF the Government taxi
ing a step to verify tue statements
made in theprospectus or the sound
ness of the bylaws. Then comes
the annual exhibition OF all affairs
demanded by law. The Minister Of
Interior issues circular calling at
tention to the provisions of the law
dealing with corporations and he in
cludes blanks to be filled out. Weeks
and months pass by and suddenly
a circular letter emanates from the
Interior Office in which the corpor.
ations are reminded that they have
not returned their annual exhibits
and request is made that they
comply with the law at their earliest
convenience. (When dealing with
a corporation be always polite, Mr..
Government Officially The manager
of the corporation calls his Office
boy, yawns and hands him the blank
schedule with the remark "Fill that
out, Harry, sign it aud mail to those
d fools in the Government build
ing. And by the way fill out all
these from our plantations, it will
save time" Harry sits down draws
on his imagination and fills the
blanks out so that figures will not
compromise him with the tax asses
sor, and at the same time showing
slight surplus of assets over liza
bilities. The blanks are mailed and
not soul in the Department looks
at them except to mark them and
file them away. Not soul inspects
the accuracy of the figures sche-
duled and no inspection is made OF
books, property or circumstances OF
the ever prosperous and privileged
corporation. Somebody thinks it is
lose manner to do business in on
behalf OF the Government and there
are others who say we have the best
Government in the world. The
others are mostly the Government

Mr. Hammond notified the police
yesterday afternoon and last night
about Q O'Clock Detective Witsil and
OFFICER Mcbride visited the house, but
could get no clue beyond few foot
prints upon the ground in the yard at
the front of the house. Il is a mystery
how the thieves opened the window. as
Mr.. Hammond is sure Il was locked
the night before by a catch over the
sash, and no scratches were notice
able upon the woodwork
The robbery is supposed to be the
work OF a man and woman, as while
one Of the Misses DUPONT was driving
in town on Monday night about Q
O'Clock. along Kennett pike. she no.
tlced a tall man wearing light over
coat standing with his arm about a
woman in the grounds Of the Dupont
residence, near the gate leading to the
road. When Miss Dupont returned,
about midnight, she is positive she
saw the same parties standing farther
up in the grounds, but thinking It was
one OF the maids, she drove on. The
police will investigate the robbery

PROSPEROUS INSURANCE COMPANY

THE PRUDENTIAL INSURANCE
COMPANY'S STATEMENT SHOWS
A LARGE INCREASE IN BUsI-
NESS.
OF the leading American life insur
ance companies which prospered under
the return of good times in 1898, none
achieved a more brilliant success than
the Prudential Insurance Company
of America, the home office Of which
is located at Newark. n. J.
From its annual statement, printed
to-day, one is able to get some idea
Of the rapidity with which the Ameri.
can people are coming to realize the
necessity for life insurance.
Over $164. .00O,0 900 of new business
was written by that company during
the year which. added TO the insur-
ance previously in force on its books
shows a grand total Of s414,OOO,O00 at
present carried on the lives of its
members.
Il is safe to say that no other life in
surance company in the world has ad-
vanced with such rapid strides as the
Prudential during the twenty-three
years of its existence.
The company issues policies to men
women and children, in all amounts
from S15 to $4,000 at all ages from !
to 20 years. Other interesting details
will be found upon consulting the
statement, printed on another page OF
this paper.
