Greensboro, August II.
An agent of one of the South Eastern
Tariff Association Companies said to
me Saturday, THE insurance war is
not over by a great sight and if you'll
only wait a week you'll hear something
drop. This led me to investigate the
here more |closely and to come
to the conclusion that the prevalent i'm
preston that the trouble between the
Greensboro Fire Insurance Companies
and the outside companies is settled, is
erroneous. When he was here a week
ago, State Insurance Commissioner
Young proposed a plan Of settlement
which he stated ought to be SatiSfac-
tory to both sides and would be for the
best interests of the people of the state.
These terms were satisfactory to the
Greensboro companies and accepted by
them, but the outside companies have
not yet decided what they will do, hav-
ing the matter still under consideration.
The railroad wreck near Danville yes
terday was another miraculous escape
from great loss of life. Although a
freight train running forty miles an
hour crashed into an incoming paSsen-
ger Train, only one tramp VINO was
asleep in the o car of the freight, was
killed. The wreck vas something i'm
mense. A passenger last night said
that when the train passed IL at 6
o'clock, the two monster engineG were
still locked in close embrace, the crew,
after working all day, not having sue
ceeded in getting them apart. 1t is
said that the engineer of the freight
had forgotten his orders, forgotten all
a hn11f the rao111ar ma Sdenp pr and inst
run ahead without thinking. The pas
senger had bou stopped when it was
struck or the loss of life would have
been fearful.
