seeks to recover $4,000 of the Indianapolis
& Northwestern Traction Company for in
turies he alleges he suffered while acting

drawing the dirt car snapped and struck
Smith, paralyzing his arms and causing
them TO shrink.

its trains backed into him while he was
repairing a wall In the company's freight
house on March s. 1893. and cut off his leg.
Florence Ray fell into a well which was
covered with rotten boards, located on
property rented of the Eclipse Coal Com

r. G. Mccullough, state agent of the Con-
necticut Fire Insurance Company for Indi-
ana. has returned from a visit of several
weeks to his old home in Dublin, Ireland.
Although he did not make any direct inves-
legations as to insurance methods in that
country, he still is able to relate some inter-
esting facts in regard to practices there
which seem strange to Americans He COM
mends the fire department of Dublin as be-
ing very efficient, having, as it does mod
ern equipment which resembles that found
in any up-to-date American engine house.
The firemen, he says, are very capable, be-
ing generally ex-sailors and well disciplined.
Companies report serious tornado and
lightning losses throughout Minnesota,
Iowa and illinois, 1t is said that almost all
companies writing this style of insurance
on farm property, especially in Illinois, will
show loss this year. This has proved
generally profitable business and has been
sought eagerly by the companies but de-
structive windstorms have been more COM
