OLD WAYNE'S STANDING
RECEIyERSHIP CASE NOW REIyG
HEARD IN SUPERIOR COURT.
Small Fer Cent of Policies,
Face.

The suit against the Old Wayne Mutual
Life Association, or this city. for receiver,
went to trial yesterday in Room 3 Superior
Court The company has an office in the
Commercial Club building and c.. G.. Gilmore
is the secretary. The receivership suit was
brought by Attorneys Finch & Finch several
months ago. the action being precipitated by
the failure OF the COMPANY to pay a judy
ment procured against it in the State OK
Pennsylvania. 1t is claimed the company
has been doing a large business In the neigh
borhood OF Scranton, Pa. Suit was brought
on a policy and judgment for $4,000 was
taken by default. 1t is charged in the COM
plant for receiver that the company is In
solvent.
The defense Is that the judgment Is invalid
from the fact that notice of the Pennsyl-
vania suit was not properly served on the
officers OF the company. When the sum-
mons was issued it was served on the agent
at Scranton, and it is contended that this
was not proper notification. Secretary Gill;
more was on the witness stand yesterday and
testified that his company only paid about
Is per cent. of the face value of the policies
issued. He contends that the company has
a right to do this under the law, while the
prosecution insists that under the insurance
law OF 1897 the company must pay the poll
cy In full. The agent who issued the policy
On which judgment was given is not here
TO testify.

connecting for four safe drives out of four
times at bat. Mcfarland. Motz and Kaho
came in for their share of the honors with
two hits each to their credit. McFarland's
two consisted of a two-base drive down the
frst-base line in the first inning. which
drove the first run over the rubber, and a
three-base hit to right center in the sixth,
which sent two more over for the Hoosiers.
In the fielding end of the game Sharrott
was also a shining light, as he accepted
six chances in the left garden without the
sign of an error, and they were not all easy
propositions either, notably Gillen's long
foul fly. which he caught far out on foul
ground. Hickey had his troubles at the third
corner, but Stewart played his position in
a faultless manner, while "Dibby" Flynn
accepted everything that came his a at
short field. South paw Kellum was found
for three singles in the first and again for
three more in the fifth, but. with the excep-
ton of those two innings, the Discover
ers' could do nothing with his delivery and
the only run they secured outside of the
two innings mentioned was directly due to
errors by Hogriever and Hickey. Genins
and Gillen were the only ones of the local
batters who connected safely more than
| once, and both of GiLen's hits came after
two were out and did no damage. Score:

New Suits Filed.
County Aid to Orphans.

T.. r. Martindale had a conference with
the Board OF County Commissioners yes
terday in reference to the plan Of making
the orphan asylums of the city county insti-
tons. Under an act of the last Legislature
the commissioners are prevented from CIV
ing financial aid to these asylums. The
board is of opinion that the institu-
tions cannot be made county asylums with
out the county having some property rights
and those in control of the asylums say
they will not give up any property to the
county. A proposition has been made to
the commissioners to have them made ex
officio members of the boards. of control of
the asylums, and in this way attempt to
extend aid from the county treasury. 1t
would be arrange for some one TO bring
suit to enjoin the board from acting. and
the matter could then be determined by
the courts.
