STATE HOUSE.
Appointments Of Cattle Commissioners
Not Yet Made.
Commissioner Carr Reports on the Examina
ton Of Maine Benefit Life Co.

Governor Powers and the chairman Of
his council, Hon. III. w. Mayo. were at
the State House. Tuesday afternoon and
evening, roing to Bangor, Wednesday
morning. 1t was expected by many that
the Governor would settle the fight in
progress for the appointment of a MEM
Der Of the cattle commission. He made
no appointment, as he yet has one week
in which to make it so that. the CUSTOM
AIRY seven days notice can be given be-
fore the assembling of the council.
The petitions for the appointment of the
two candidates are piling into the office
of the executive department in great
numbers and the friends of both DR.. G.
II. Bailey. the present incumbent of the
office, and +. S. Adams of Bowdoinham
the other candidate. are working hard to
secure the appointment of their particu-
lar candidate.
Commissioner Carr has just COM
pleted his annual examination of the
Maine Benefit Life Association of Au-
burn. as required by the statutes.
which states that the domestic fire
companies shall be examined once in
tNo Ntdti lEl soilSiIlS ny tiit
sioner and the other State companies.
once each year.
This examination shows the COM
pany to be perfectly solvent, through
the experience of the last Is months
has put the vitality of the company to
a severe test. Through a heavy death
claims they have been obliged to make
triple assessments and not liking to
continue the officers deemed it wise to
distribute this mortuary loss over sew
eral calls and in part upon the reserve
fund rather than to assess for it all at
once The commissioner says if the
death rate of 1899 is favorable and the
losses are not allowed to accumulate,
the course adopted was a proper one.
The amount of the money collected
during 1898 showed a deficiency OF
about $54 900 over the losses reported.
OF this amount s9164 have been made
up during the first three months of
1899 On the other hand the stipulated
premium policies issued by the COM
pany, which includes those issued since
1895, and what are supposed to be self
sustaining, have caused a loss of $3.50
during those three months. The COM
pany has a balance of So, 629.17 to pro-
tect its contracts.
