FOR STRIKING THE CORPORAL.
Captain O'Neill to be Court Martialed. Unfor
tunate Affair at Wilmington.
Especial to News and Observe,

Wilmington, N. c.. July 31.-An unfor-
tunate incident Of the Fifth Georgia Regi-
ment's encampment at Wrightsville a
few days ago has just come to light in
this city. Capt. James f. o'Neill of the
Gate City Guards, Atlanta. and one of
the most popular young officers in the
regiment, is charged and will be court
martialed in Atlanta for striking Cor
poral Henry Dunwody. One night during
the encampment it is charged that Cant
O'Neill approached a party of ladies on
the hotel veranda, of which Mrs. Dun
woody was member and remarked that
Dunwody was too drunk to be on guard
duty. Mrs. Dunwody broke down and
cried at the unkind remark and when
her husband was informed of the occur
renee next day, an apology was demanded
of O'Neill, who told Dunwody that none
was required to an inferior officer. This
enraged Dunwody and he told O'NeilI that
it was cowardly to dodge behind his rank.
AT this O'Neill struck the corporal and
friends prevented more serious result.
The families of the two officers had be-
fore been on the best of terms. Both
are married.

the Underwriters of Greensboro credit
for 36 cents more than the company has
ever claimed. In the statement Of the
Underwriters of Greensboro furnished the
Insurance Commissioner and in our pub
Iished statements which have been freely
supplied to our policy holders and agents,
we have not claimed for the Underwriters
one cent of surplus, and the sc cents in
Best's Reports is an immaterial error
for which we are not responibIe. Our
policy with all our companies has been
to create first an ample emergency fund
and then a surplus, for the reason that
the surplus is Invisible and belongs to
the stockholders, whereas the emergency
fund Cor reinsurance reserve) is for the
protection of the policy holders and can
not be touched. The Underwriters of
Greensboro is only four years old, and
up to this time, the entire annual under
writing profit has been carried to the
emergency fund until that fund now
amounts to over twenty thousand dollars.
The indications are now that the results
of this years operations will largely in
crease this fund, besides contributing
several thousand dollars to the surplus.
The very best test of the solvency of an
insurance company and of the protection
it affords to its policy-holders is the
ratio which its emergency fund Cor re-
insurance reserve) bears to it's premiums
in force, the higher the ratio the more
certain is it that the emergency fund
will meet any liability that may arise
on the outstanding policies. This is an
axiom of insurance which no one will
deny. To demonstrate how fully the
emergency fund Of the Underwriters of
Greensboro protects it's policy holders.
we have prepared from the statements of
the companies themselves the following
table, from which it will be seen that
the Underwriters, makes a far better
showing in this respect than any of
them, and we challenge the opposition to
name a company in the entire country
showing larger emergency fund in pro-
portion to its outstanding liability. This
is a broad statement, but we make it
after careful investigation and with the
fullest confidence. We have selected for
comparison three other North Carolina
companies with which we have no con-
nection, and whose financial standing is
unquestioned and the Glens Falls In
curance Company, of New York because
its stock is quoted higher than the stock
of any other American Insurance Com
pany, it's book value being eleven for
one, and the Aetna, of Hartford, because
it is the strongest insurance company in
America, it's total assets being over
fourteen millions of dollars. We would
rot be understood as comparing our
strength with the Aetna and Glens Falls.
The point we are making is that the I'm
derwriters has reserved more for the re-
insurance of it's outstanding liability
than any of them.

Elsewhere in this issue of your paper
appears the financial exhibit of the I'm
derwriteTs of Greensboro on file with the
insurance Commissioner at Raleigh, cor
responding in every material particular
with the statement made by Best's
agency, from which it will be seen that
the company has assets of over 800, 0000
for the indemnity of its policy holders
and that the showing is "A most crcditable
one in every respect, so much so that
Best on page 1872 of the same Reports
from which the Sc cents surplus extract
was taken states that "the Underwriters
OF Greensboro has established good
reputation" and on page 100 that the
Underwriters of Greensboro bears an
excellent reputation" To have suppress
ed these unqualified endorsements from
the &c cents surplus publication was en-
tirely in Keeping with it's anonymous
clandestine character.
The people of North Carolina have long
since ceased to credit suggestions from
our competitors that the Greensboro fire
insurance companies are not safe and
sound These companies have never
yet failed to meet an obligation. They
have paid out during the few years they
have been in business over $100 100000 for
losses by fire. They have made it a
Iule to pay their losses as soon as adj
juted without discount and without wait
ing the usual sixty days, and these COM
panies have for the protection of their
policy-holders combined assets of $431,-
276.01. We are careful to assume no liza
bility which we cannot meet; and when
it arises to meet it squarely, and it is
in this way that we have won from Best's
agency, which bears to insurance com
panies the same relation that Dun'S and
Bradstreets bears to the merchants, the
endorsement of excellence" which he
has seen proper to apply to each of the
three Greensboro Fire Insurance Com
panies.
In conclusion we appeal to the sense
of fairness of the people of North Caro-
lima and ask for fair play A combination
Of about seventy fire insurance companies
representing assets of hundred millions
have exhausted every honorable resource
to force us to advance the price of our
indemnity in North Carolina merely be-
cause they have had to advance theirs
elsewhere, and falling to make any i'm
preston on our business, they have
stopped to the ignoble task of robbing
us Of our good name They will find that
they are as powerless to do the one as
the other, and that the Greensboro COM
panies will maintain both their position
and their good name.

During severe electric storm which
passed over the city yesterday after

in the building at the time, but none
of them was injured. The slate roof of

Answer of the Greensboro
Underwriters.

To the Editor:-It has just come to our
attention that circular is being sent
out from Greensboro through the mails
to the property owners of North Caro-
lima, in which special attention by print
ing in bold type, is called to the fact
that the surplus of the Underwriters of
Greensboro is only sc cents, and it be-
comes necessary for us to publish through
the press Of the State this answer to
the circular. We have made inyesti-
cation, and have found that the Green's
boro local agents have had nothing to
do with this and there can be no doubt
that the publication has been made or
inspired by some Cmmisary of the South
Eastern Tariff Association, a committee
of whose representatives, has made
Greensboro its headquarters during the
last few days, and we hazard the asser-
tion that the printing was done on the
presses of this same association at At
lanta. 1t will be recognized by every
body as a chapter in the fight which the
association is making upon the Under
writer's of Greensboro and the two other
Greensboro fire insurance companies as

OF Brooklyn, has been set upon, says
a Paris dispatch to the World by two
hunger maddened great Dane dogs,
which had been secured TO guard her
husbands country house at Annecylake
and so terribly injured that she died
two hours after the accident.

while she was walking IN the yard,

The instant Nine. Sempis entered the

upon her like hungry tigers. They
bore her 20 the ground and as she
yainly sought TO defend herself their
teeth sank in her arms and body. Her
