HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Engineer John Haffy, Of a Freight Crew,
Seriously Injured.

John Hafiy, an engineer on the
|. {. railroad, met with painful
and serious acciuent while on duty
in charge of an engine at Repton. :
miles north of thi. city, Monday
morning about | clock. The train
he was on was taking a siding to
clear the way for the ll:l3 passen-
ger, when his head suddenly came in
contact with the gate of the stock
pen, which was open, and presuma
bly, through the thoughtlesness or
carelessness of some boys. who had
been about the pen. Mr. Haffy re-
ceived a painful cash on top of his
head. four inches long and cut to the
bone, and his right ear was almost
torn from his head He also received
other cuts and bruises. but none OF
his wounds, it i thought, will result
fatally, although he will be confined
for some time. He was brought here
on the passenger train Monday NOR
ming and at once taken to the office
! of DR.. Driskill. the railroad surgeon
who dressed his wounds and gave
him every care, and he is reported a.
resting easily and improving. His
mother resides in Henderson, and he
will probably be taken there soon.

CONSERVATIVE ACTION.
New York Underwriters Agency Prohibits
Certain COngeSted Districts.

General Agents, y II j. ii. Stod-
dart, yesterday announced that the
New York Underwriters Agency is
now declining to take risks located
in the congested districts of New.
York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Bos
ton, Chicago, and a few other large
cities limiting its future business in
those great centers to localities out
side such districts. In taking this
conservative action the general agents
are giving practical expression to
their belief that the interest of agents
stockholders and the public are best
advanced by careful protection of in
surance capital from serious hazard
in any possible case. The manage
ment of the New York Underwriters
Agency feels that pursuance Of the
remarkably prudent line of practice
herein described will not only prove
an additional guarantee Of perform
ance. but that a knowledge that the
business of the New York Underwri- |
tiers Agency i adjusted to meet ali |
adverse contingencies, even the |
most extreme. Will make its repre-.
of greater value TO its
agents in general and will increase
the esteem in which it, policies have
always been held by the insuring
of Commerce.
Bourland & Haynes are the Local
Agents for this company and you
IAN do no better than by placing
your in surance business with them.

Mr.. Chas. Perry Consumated In 1901

The cards announcing the marriage
Oct. u, 1901. of Miss katherine
Moore, of this city, and Mr.. Charles
Perry, Of lrma, created considerable
surprise here last week when they
were received on account of the high
standing of the contracting parties
aud their popularity with all who
know them, and especially in view
OF the fact that nearly five years have
elapsed since the vows were taken
Five years ago Mr. Perry, who is
son of John b. Perry, the banker
of Trina vicinity, was advised by his
physicians TO 90 to California for his
health, as he was at that time suffer
ing with weak lungs, and not being
willing to leave his sweetheart in
Kentucky he urged her to 90 with
him, but as she did not think il best
as his health was bad, it was decided
that they would go 10 Shawneetown,
ILL.,, aud be married, and that she
would return home aud he would go
in search of health in the west. Some
time after his return the following
year. the brides father died, aud that
made her feel that it was imperative
for her 10 remain with her mother. |
aud with the same noble spirit which
has characterized her whole life she /
kept her secret aud has been the |
main stay and support of her widow
ed mother and her sister and brother. |
~ time passed on Mr. Perry regain
ed his health and established himself /
IN business, and for the past year he |
has been very persistent claiming hi, |
bride, and but for the fact that she
had promised to teach this term in
the public school, the wedding would
have been announced several months
ago.
Last Friday after school closed the
happy bride left for Louisville where
her husband was awaiting her and
after spending a few days there they

Insurance Rates.

l The Insurance Exchange, an ~
ganization which i sometimes cal
ed the Insurance Trust. is threatcne
with disruption as result of It's az
bitary increase of % per cent il
rates.
Two of the strongest aud most in
huential companies in the country
the Continental and the Williams
burg City--haye refused to abide by
the new rate schedule, and will writ,
business on the old scale, or % pei
cent. cheaper than their competitors.
This means, of course, that they
will get a tremendous amount of bus
mess which ordinarily would be dis
tributed among a a large number OF
companies
The Continental has not only re-
fused to adopt the new schedule, but
has resigned Its membership, and ITS
President, Harry Evans. who was
Vice President Of the exchange. has
also resigned that office.
The Williamsburgh City has not
yet Withdrawn from the Exchange,
but i. expected to do so unless that
body reconsiders the new rate SEIZED
ule.
Officers of other companies who
agreed to the advance in rates were
much disturbed when they learned of
the action Of the Continental and the
Williamsburgh City An Informal
meeting was held at the Insurance
Exchange IN the Mutual Life Build
ins, which wa. attended by the head,
of fifteen companies. \ regular
meeting Of the Exchange will be- held
tomorrow. at which formal action
viii be- taken upon the dcscrtion of
the Continental and the Williams
burrh.
President Evans, in explanation Of
the action o. his company, said
I'VE believe in a rate that fairly
compensates our stockholders for the
risk with further profit Of not
moro than > per cent for the build
ing up Of the conaagration fund.
We DO not believe it j.. wise or
proper TO penalire property owner.
iu New York or elsewhere, now pay
inc adequate rates. because Of an un-
usual Jos. due primarily to an earth
quake iu San Francisco. We shall
oppose 10 the extent Of our ability,
the taking Of such action iu New
York and other cities, where the
rates are now adequate.
Nr Evans also SAID that the effort
20 compel the public TO pay an un-
Justly high rate because Of the San
Francisco disaster would provoke
hostile legislation. which in the end
would prove very costly Coo the FIRE
insurance companies.
President c. +. Shaiicro,s. of the
Insurance Exchange, said the high
rates were a necessity and that he
did no, believe they would be lowered
because of the objections of the Con
tincntal aud the Williamsburgh City.
