War and Life insurance.

Il inquired of a man high up in
the affairs of a big life insurance COM
pany whether the killing Of so many
soldiers will bring heavy losses upon
American life insurance companies.
Far smaller than you might think
was his answer. 1t is true one New
York company has $400, o0O, 900 of in
surance in the countries which are at
war, but the number of soldiers killed
will be but a small proportion of ali
the people who carry insurance"

In the District Courts.

Eleven years is too long for the owner
Of a certificate for property bought at
a tax sale to hold II before claiming the
property from the District Commissioners
according to a decision of Justice Staf-
ford. who yesterday granted the request
Of Philip II. Christman for an injunc-
ton to prevent the issuance Of a deed
to Leo Luchs. The court held that the
certificate holder by his delay had lost
the right to demand a deed, and that
the Commissioners could not make the
award as a matter Of grace. Although
thinking that the certificate holder has
lost his right, the court found il would
be equitable to require that he be paid
his costs in buying in the property with
legal interest at per cent.

since Mr. Hutchins' death, April q, 1872,
She has not decided whether to claim

accidentally heard two OF the brokers
exchange condolences During this talk
one OF them gave the other q tip on a
certain stock and King availed himself
OF It to the extent that within less than
two hours he was s, 500 better on than
when he started the scene.
