ADJUSTING THE LOSS.
INSURANCE HEN PLACE THEIR
LIABILITY AT $4,000, 900.
DAMAGE TO PATERSON PROPERTY
ESTIMATED AT $4,000 00O0-GERMAN-
AMERICAN AND CONTINENTAL
LOSE s15O.Ooo EACH.

No fire insurance man could be found yester-
day who could give anything like aA exact
statement of the losses suffered by local anu
other fire insurance companies from last SuhuaS
mornings fire at Paterson. Estimates OF the
total loss to these concerns varied from Sl,oOO,-
600 TO S4.000O00. majority OF the guessers
placed the amount at S2500O0O and the totai
loss from the destruction of property at ABOUT
S6 OO00O0 admitting at the same time that they
based their figures specific knowledge OF
facts.
A special agent of the Westchester Fire lusur-
ance Company who spent the greater part OF
Yesterday at Paterson. thought that the dam
age done by the fire had been, was the Gus
tom. considerably exaggerated He placed tne
loss to insurance companies at between s-'ooo'-
OOa and So 600 600 and the loss to property own
ers at twice that amount. Other agents sau
that some of the buildings which were oady
damaged by the confagration could be so re-
paired as TO subtract considerable amount
from the generally estimated loss. The premise
on which this opinion is based seems not to be
in consonance with the best reports from the
burned district Not many of the buildings
which were caught in tho doomed section are
worth repairing.
Perhaps sixty New York insurance companies
carried on an active business at Paterson, ana
forty more in other sections Of the country had
risks there. Tribune reporter called at the
offices of about thirty of the former concerns
In many of the offices clerks and officials were
hard at work comparing their maps with news
paper accounts and trying TO get true notion
of the amount of money they would be called
on TO pay their policy holders.
As far as could be learned the German-Amer-
lean and the Continental Fire Insurance COM
panies were the heaviest losers by the fire Each
concern admitted the loss of Sf5000o Other
companies estimated their losses all the way
frcnn So 600 up TO that figure. One difficulty in
the way of gaining 4 correct list of losses was
that some OF the companies had reinsured their
risks with other concerns The Springfield Fire
Insurance Company, for instance, some time
ago reinsuved all the risks of the Magdeburg
Insurance Company, and the Westchester COM
pany recently took over the risks of the Paclhc
company. The Westchester company lost Sl0S-
coo gross but it in turn had rein5ured so much
of its business that this loss is reduced TO
So 0G0
An approximate list of the losses sustained by
f,,.aig,, and domestic cOn1panies follows:

JEROME ABSOLTES CHURCHTLL.
HE SAYS CAPTAIN WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE
FOR PROTECTION OF KURTZ WOMAN.

District Attorney jerome said yesterday that
after talking with Assistant District Attorney San
ford about Minnie Kurtz. who held Satur-
day the charge of bribery in connection with the
Bissert case, he did not think Acting Captain
Churchill at all responsible for the protection
Of tho woman, He added that from all he knew
Captain Churchill had no knowledge of there being
a disorderly house at No. p StuyVesant-st.
He said that IT had not been decided when TO go
with the cases against the woman, and he did
not know whether any case would be taken up Inn
mediately. The hrst one taken up would probably
be that of bribery.

forty-six hook and ladder companies.
With such force it is hard to see how
fire could get beyond control, particularly in any

we are not able to confine fire TO the building

Insurance men yesterday agreed that the Pat
erson FIRE following. as II did so closely on the
Waterbury disaster. would very likely cripple
temporarily of the smaller concerns No
hint of immediate suspension Of injured COM
panies was heard. though there was no lack of
rumor to cause one to be on the lookout for
sudden closing of doors in the insurance district.
William-st. congratulated itself that the loss
was not three or four times larger than it was.
That the companies were not called on to
shoulder such a loss due. they said, to the
fact that none of the silk mills were burned.
A condensation in that section of the city
would. it was thought. have caused loss of
between S25,OO0, 900 and $50,O0oO00.

BIRTHDAYS AND
WEDDING ANNIVERSARIES,

A peculiar coincidence, in the mat
ter OF birthdays was brought to light
by accident yesterday morning. County
Clerk James McGibbon and Deputy
Clerk Richard Butler were in at Louis
Miller's jewelry store when n an
nounced that his birthday would fall
Oh the 18th of this month. Mr.. Com
stock. the jeweler, spoke up and said
that that was his natal day, also. and
the gentlemen at once began planning
for a joint celebration. Mr.. Butler will
be g., Mr.. McGibbon 81 and Mr.. Com
stock "a.
The popularity did not stop there
The proposed celebration had to BIZ
give up when it was found that all hai
been invited to the wedding reception
Of Mr.. DeKay and Miss Land. THAI
day is also the thirteenth wedding an
niversary Of Mr.. and Mrs. Russell But
Ter, and it will be the fifty-first birth
day anniversary of Robert McGibbon
a brother Of the genial county clerk
Robert is still in Scotland. May all
the gentlemen live to celebrate many
more birthdays, and may Mrs. Butler
and Miss Land live to see the celebra
lions.

Among the many important branch

be a strong factor in tapping a virgin
