Still Doing Active Business in Many
 Forms of Insurance.

Forms of Insurance.
 Hartford, Oct, 2S,-The suit of the committee of policyholders against the Hartford Life Insurance company and the Security Trust company to secure an accounting of the so-called safety fund.-" is based entirely upon the al legged failure of the officers of these two corporations, who are named in the writ, to make distribution of this fund.
 The Hartford Life Insurance compa- ny was originally Incorporated in 1867, and although it's name was changed from that under which it was first in- corporated, and its charter amended at different times, 1t is still doing an active business in many forms if insurance. The writ in the suit does not make ref erence to the present business of the company, except as relating to the safety fund plan. It sets forth only that the defendant insurance company ceased to do business on the safety fund" plan, and ceased to admit mem bers to it after March, 1899.
