Agents Notified to add Twenty five P,
Cent TncreasA

Agents Notified to add Twenty five Per
Cent. Increase.
Hereafter, fire insurance rates are to be
twenty-five per cent. greater than they
have been for number of years. The
increase was decided upon by the Under
writers Association since the great fire in
Paterson.
Local insurance agents have received a
copy of circular from the Underwriters
Association of the Middle Department.
announcing the increase on certain risks
An advance of twenty-five per cent is made
on all manufacturing risks and other
special hazards, with the exception of
dwellings, farm property, private stables,
churches and similar buildings In mer-
camille business an advance of twenty-five
per cent. is made on all stocks of store
goods, furniture in stores and fixtures in
brick buildings, and on all frame build
ings and their contents. The circular ex-
plains that the advance is made because of
heavy losses during the last three years.
The insurance companies claim that
they have not been making money out of
their policy premiums; that the loses paid
have for a number of years exceeded the
premiums, and if it had not been for the
fact that they were protected by good pay
ing investments, they would have been
to suspend business before this
or raise the rates.

An Insurance Company for Americans.

An Insurance Company for Americans.
The Prudential Insurance Company of
America confines its operations within the
boundaries of the United States, contrary
to the practice of most big American com
panies, which have large business abroad.
That it is not necessary to go abroad in
order to be eminently successful is abund-
antly clear from the record of The Pruden-
tial, especially that for the year 1901, the
figures for which have just been published.
The Prudential has written during the
last year no less than $273, 900, 600 of life
insurance, an amount which has never been
equalled by any other company of the same
age, or by The Prudential itself in any for
mer year. 1t has nearly four and one-half
millions Of policies in force, and furnishes
life insurance protection for more than one
million families.
The Prudential, it is proper to state, was
the pioneer Of Industrial life insurance in
America; it was the forerunner of better
times for the thrifty poor, and the prodig-
ious success which it has now achieved is a
proof that its popularity is well deserved.
Write to the Home Office of the Company,
Newark, n. J., for information concerning
its policies, which furnish guaranteed
protection to the family, as well as diyi-
dends to the policy holder.

Teachers, Retirement Fund.

The New Jersey teachers retirement
fund is just five years old and in pamph-
let just issued some interesting facts con-
corning it are told.
The treasurer's first report, dated Jan.
IS, 1897, gives the receipts to that date as
81, 515.13. For the fiscal year ending June
80, 1901, the income was $50, e54.40.
The treasurer's report of June 1, 1898
shows that the total annuities paid to that
time amounted to $500 80. The annuities
paid in 1901 amounted to So, 190.S8. The
annuities in force January /, 1902, amount
ed to S12, 491 year
In all, forty-seven teachers have been
retired. OF these, seven have died, leav-
ing in force forty annuities averaging
S312.2
January 10, 1897, the assets of the fund
were about 81, 500. January 1, 1902, they
were above SCI, 600.
Last year the receipts from members
dues, at an average of about one and one
half cents per day per member, were $15,-
902.T. If all New Jersey teachers were
members, the income from this source
would approach $40, 900.

Killed by Train at Hardingville Crossing.
As John w. Gardiner and wife of Elk
Township, were driving across the railroad
crossing at Hardingville station, on the
Bridgeton branch of the w. j. and S. rail-
road Wednesday afternoon, they were
struck by the passenger train that leaves
Woodbury. at 1853 p. M, and hurled two
hundred feet down the track, being instantly
killed The horse was cut loose from the
carriage and ran away.
View of the tracks was INSTRUCTED by a
lot of freight cars standing on the tracks
beside the crossing.
Mr.. Gardiner was 81 years of age, and
his wife eight years younger. The two
had lived all their life within sight of the
place where they were killed. Only a
week ago Mr.. Gardiner came near meeting
his death at the same spot while crossing
with team.
Engineer Iszard did not see the team
until it emerged from behind the freight
cars and could not possibly stop in time to
prevent the accident. The passengers
in the train were jolted from their seats
as the engineer put on the breaks, and
those in the front car saw whirling car
riage wheels and the forms of the aged
couple in the air as the train came to a
halt. Running back, nearly all the pas
sengers alighted and saw the shocking
sight. The two bodies were some distance
apart, and both were cut and bruised in a
horrible manner. Conductor Baker tele-
graphed the accident at Monroeyille, and
sent for Coroner Heritage, of Glassboro,
who arrived later, and allowed the remains
to be taken to the home the couple had
left short time before.

The regular monthly meeting of the Board Of
Chosen Freeholders of Gloucester County will
be held in the Court House, at Woodbury., N. j.,
36-2t CHAS. n. BELL Clerk.
Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1902-03-13


We believe all three of the retiring mem
bers are candidates for reelection. 1t is
our recollection all have served two terms
of two years each, or more. If the people
approve their conduct Of the schools they
should come out and re-elect them, if not,
they should elect others to take their
places.
We esteem membership in this Board of
great honor and responsibility, not alone
from the fact that $4,000 are by it dis
bursed annually, but in a large measure
is involved the preparation of eight hun
bred boys and girls for the battle of life.
Since the above was put in type we learn
that the election of Mr. Estell and Mr..
Carpenter is to be opposed because of the
failure of the Board to re-elect Miss Han
nah W. Mitchell last Spring, the program
including the discharge of Supervisor Frey.
The issue TINS presented involves the
right of the Board of Education to exer-
else its Judgment in the performance of
their duty, and will permit the people to
calmly decide whether they desire Board
of Education pledged to the educational
interests of the city, or one controlled by
its employees.
