The Sorrow of Two Daughters Over the

A poor, feeble old soldier was brought to
the Union station last evening to be sent to
the home at Dayton. He was accompanied
by two beautiful daughters, and when the

and Assistant ffMari
Mayor Gourley's letter to Chief Brown,
outlined in The Dispatch yesterday, was
made public last night by its author. After
repeatedly declining to make its contents
public the Mayor finally changed his inten
tion and furnished & copy for publication.
In giving his reasons for this last evening,
he said: "When I wrote this letter I be
lieved Mr. Brown would be as prompt in
making it public as he did the letter he re
ceived from Mr. Magee. When I found he
was disinclined to do that,I thought perhaps
he was holding it back and would- present
it at a special meeting of Councils that I
understood was to be held next Monday.
But I learn now that there is to be no
special meetinc, and as the newspapers
have been talking about it so much and
criticising the secrecy in which it has been
held, I have decided to give it to the news
papers for fearMr. Brown does not."
In his letter he give his answer to C. L.
Magee, whose statement was read in Coun
cils several weeks ago. He refers to Mr.
Magee as only one of 250,000 citizens, but an
influential power in municipal affairs. Inti
mation is strongly made that Chief Brown
should have sent an explanation of his own
t Councils in connection with the Magee
letter.
Criticism of the Wrong Person.
The Mayor says the latter attacked him
not on statements made from his own ob
servation, but on facts gleaned from Chief
Brown himself, and that the criticisms wero
directed at the wrong person.
The major portion of the letter is taken
up with comments on the Superintendents,
Evans and Weir, of the Fire and Police
Bureaus, the writer insisting that the
former is incompetent and the latter em
powered with little more than the duties of
a cleric Assistant Superintendent of Police
Boger O'Mara also comes in for a few
strokes of the executive pen, the Mayor
stating that whatever efficiency characterizes
the polioe force cannot be attributed to him.
For some of the police officials he liasonly
the highest praise.
The following is the letter in full:
3Iayor Gourley to Chief Browji.
Mayor's Optics, )
Pittsburg, June 10, 1891.
Mr. J. O. Brown, Chief Department Tubllc Safety:
Dkau Sir: On the 25th of May you pre
sented to Scct Council a letter addressed
to you by your bondsman, Mr. Magee, whicli
was apparently intended us a reply to a
letter of a previous date written by myself
to vou refracting your Are department.
Mr. Mageo's communication was devoted
principally to an elaborate encomium on tho
present Superintendent of your Firo .Bureau.
It must, therefore, be accepted as an em
phatic denial of the charges of incompetency
made by you as Chief of tlio Department of
Public Safety against that official.
From your ownj oft-rerieated statements,
and the letter to which J. refer, it becomes
evident thatyou and your bondsman are
not in unison regarding the officer who is
the recognized head of the Fire Department
of our citv. .
While I will not permit myself to be
draw n into a personal controversy with Mr.
Magee, touching his testimonial to the effi
ciency of Mr. Evans, I beg leave to enter an
emphatic protest against what must appear ,
to you anu uiinseu an unjusimauie attempt
to thrust upon me the authorship of charges
made by you.
My communication to you regarding tho
Chief of jour Fire Department was based
upon information received, and that infor
mation, as is w ell known to you and Mr.
Magee, was supplied byyou.
You the Clnet of the Department of Pub
lic Safety possessing every opportunity to
enable you to form a Just estimate of hisca
pjcity, openly and unreservedly declared
tlie weakness and inefficiency of tho highest
officer in your Are department.
Charges of Shifted Responsibility.
Notwithstanding this fact, you transmitted
to Councils, without protest, a letter from
your bondsman testifying to the eminent fit
ness of the officer whom you nad pronounced
wholly incapable of performing the duties
intrusted to his keeping. You, moreover,
remained entirely silent, and without ono
word of dissent, permitted tho author of
that letter to impute to another the respon
sibility of charges which emanated from
you.
Against you the thunder of your bonds
man should have been directed: upon vou
he should have exhausted the vials of'hls
righteous indignation: upon your head he
should have placed his chastening hand ex
claiming, "Ecce homo!" with all the bitter
ness of offended power.
What a splendid opportunity was pre
sented by your bondsman for you to submit
to Councils a statement presenting your ow n
honest estimate of the fltnoss and qualifica
tions of the Superintendent who had been
under your direct charge for a period of
more than three years. What a contrast
would have been exhibited by these docu
ments. Such a public declaration might
have involved you in a controversy
with Mr. Magee and necessitated an
explanation on your part of the considera
tions that go erned your action In retaining
your Superintendent in a position of serious
responsibility; but it would not only have
been frank and ingenuous to Councils, but
it would have reflected credit upon yon as a
public official.
For reasons best known to -Yourself, von
deemed It inexpedient to pursue this course,
and for tho present I leave the subject with
you.
The closing paragraph of your bondsman's
letter contained an accusation which was
intended to reflect on my Integrity as a pub
lic official. This was a poisoned shaft; but,
like tho boomerang'of thp Australian native,
it circled backward and fell at the feet of the
accuser.
The Mayor Inclined to Charity.
Uncharitable persons might claim that
this paragraph embodied the substance of
what you wanted to bring to the notice of
Councils and tho public, but I am rather in
clined to the opinion that you simply desired
to place on record the statement of your
bondsman certifying to tne efficiency of your
Superintendent.
Mr. Magee is only one man of the 250,000
people hi this city, but then he is an influ
ential factor in the municipal government.
But what of your police bureau t You
have a gentleman at the liead of this bureau
who is nominally Superintendent, but who
In reality has no more to do with tho control
and management of your police force than
the humblest patrolman who nightly tra
verses his lonely beat. Ho regularly draw s
the salary of Superintendent, but
he perorms few, if " any, of
the appropriate and legitimate duties
contemplated by the ordinance establishing
your department and creating the import
ant position held by him. You never con
ferred upon him tho pow cr and authority of
Superintendent, or permitted him to assume
the duties that belonged to his office.
The highestoflice in the police department
of a great city Is practically an empty void,
and tho gentleman who occupies it is, to all
intents and purposes, an official nonentity.
I have no complaint to make against your
so-called Superintendent. He may be well
equipped for the office he holds, but ou
have never given him an opportunity to dis
play his ability or leave the impress of his
individuality or skill upon tho force of
which he is tho supposed chief.
Whatever efficiency characterizes your po
lice force cannot be attributed to the efforts
of its Superintendent ochis assistants; tho
former is an unknown quantity, and tho
duties of tho latter have never been doflned.
Doesn't Wish to Bo Misunderstood.
Do not misunderstand me. I would not
detract one Jot or tittle from the Just credit
that is duo the police force of this city, or
speak ono word in disparagement of its
THE
achievements during the past throe years.
It contains some excellent men, to whose in
tegrity and faithfulness! would be only too
willing to bear unreserved testimony.
But what I want to bring home to you Is
tho anomaly that is presented by.an officer
who is Superintendent in name but a subor
dinate in fact. He may nt intervals go
through the tedious monotony of inspecting
pay rolls and station houses: ho may act as
superintendent of a dog pound and issue
canlno licenses, but from the day you ap
pointed him to office until this hour
you have never committed to him the duties
which rightfully belong to the head
of the police bereau. If you have Just
grounds for withholding from your Superin
tendent of Police the powers, duties and
responsibilities which pertain to his office,
then upon what theory do you Justify his
continuance nt the head of that bureau? Is
there an explanation, or must the mystery
remain unsolved?
Why are tho two most important bureaus
of your department impaired by the incom
petence of one head and tho masterly inac
tivity of tho other? Tho situation is not, I
am sure, in harmony witli your own convic
tion, nor has it been forced upon you by the
mandates of tho people. The controlling,
Irresponsible power is elsewhere, and it is
for vou to determine whether or not your
administration of public office shall be regu
lated in obedience to its behests.
The administration of municipal govern
ment is a matter of public interest nnd
should at nil times be open as the day to tho
inspection of the people.
Abont the Bights of the People.
If there is anything wrong with my ad
ministration of the office which I for the
time being hold, the peoplo have a right to
know It, and It is my wish that they shall
know It. If there are any defects In tho de
partment over which you have the honor
to preside it becomes my duty as Chief Exe
cutive of this city to bring them to your
notice. You may correct them and you may
not, but in any "event the responsibility is
with you.
When I assumed the duties of this offico I
publicly gavo a solemn pledge that whatever
power and lnflueuce I might be able to exert
would be used to secure to this city honest
and efficient government. To such n policy
I committed myself unreservedly on the
evening of my nomination by thoEepubll
can Convention in this hall.
Tho words then spoken were uttered with
all the earnestness of speech, and the gen
tlemen who are to-day proclaiming ingrati
tude from tho housetops knew full well that
I would in good faith endeavor to redeem
thepromise given.
I have no personal ends to accomplish, no
political aspirations to foster, no ambition
whatever for future office.
My first and only object is to see our city
government administered wisely and In the
interest of thepeople. If this be Ingratitude,
then I am an fngrato. If this be treachery,
then I have broken my plighted faith. To
this line I have tried thus far to how, some
times in weakness, sometimes discouraged
by the opposition of former friends and the
hostility of secret foes. With personal malice
toward "none, but with a firm conviction that
over and above the interests of individual
men stand the Interests of a great city, I
propose with unfaltering trust to pursue
this course to the end of my official career.
I have no desire at this time to prose
cute the study of ancient or medieval his
tory; nor do I wish to compile biography, or
trace the history nnd career of living men
during years that have passed away. What
ever abijity and energy I may possess I pre
fer to devote to tho present hour and Its at
tendant duties.
Such an issue is not sought by me; it must
be earnestly, and w ith persevering bitter
ness, forced by others; but if it comes, as
has been publicly nnnounced by those who
speak not for me, I shall endeavor to meet
it with becoming dignity and unflinching
courage. Kespectfully yours,
H. X Gourlet, Mayor.

Interesting Services at the Eighth Street
Synagogue Yesterday.
Yesterday was the sixth day of the third
month Sivan in the Hebrew calender, seven
weeks after the Passover, and is one of the
high days of the Hebrew Church. It is the
one day of the year on which the rite of
confirmation is observed. Eighteen children
were initiated into the Hebrew faith. The
Eighth Street Synagogue was filled with
the best "known,, Hebrews of this city and
the ceremonies were interesting. The
services, beginning at 9 o'clock, were con
ducted by Mr. Pachter, Dr. Mayer, assist
ant, chiefly in German. A chapter from
Exodus was read on the giving ot the law
on Mt. Sinai.
Babbi Mayer and the confirmation class
took their places on the platform about 10
o'clock. After the psalm, Babbi Mayer led
the congregation in prayer.
The five books of the law were then taken
from the crypt and unrolled while the chil
dren sto6d "up and the boys recited the
blessing upon the people, pronounced at the
giving of the law, in Hebrew.
The Babbi concluded the confirmation by
catechising the boys on the principles of
the Hebrew religion. The children are usu
ally confirmed between the age of 13 or 14
years. All other synagogues held services
of a like character.

EX-SENATOE LEE PLEDGES HIS HELP
The alleged treachery to Dalzell among
some of the local Republican leaders does
not appear on the surface, but it is not de
nied by the knowing ones. The special tel
egram in The Dispatch yesterday hinting
at a deal in Philadelphia,by which delegates
would be traded in favor of Jack Bobinson
for President of the league clubs and
Elijah Eandolph, of this city,for Secretary,
was the chief topic of conversation among
the politicians. The report was laughed
at by those not well posted and
who imagined Dalzell had a sure cinch on
the place. Something is expected to drop
in the next few days, however, when the
enemy's line of attack and real forces will
be revealed. As nearly as the situation
could be gauged yesterday it is reduced to
this; that the Allegheny county delegation
will be solid for Dalzell, if it is sure he can
be elected.
Put the Hoys in a Hole.
It was stated on good authority that
some time ago a prominent 'member
of the Tariff Club remarked that the
sudden desire of Dalzell to be
Chairman of the State league had put the
boys in a hole, as they had already made
promises to the Philadelphia people in re
turn for certain things. Just what is the
nature of the compact could not be learned,
bnt it will come out shortly. Senator Flinn
has not been away from the city since the
Legislature closed, so that he isnot in the
Quaker City as reported. It is true that
Sheriff McCleary, Phillip Minn, John
Doyle and other members ot the Tariff Club
have "been in Philadelphia for the past
week, as the guests of the Thirtieth Ward
Bepublican Club, in return for courtesies
extended at the annual meeting of the
league in Cincinnati
Senator Elinn said yesterday that he
would like to see Dalzell elected Chairman, ,
but he was taking no interest in the fight.
It has been openly charged that he is head
ing the oppositfon through his brother,
Philip. '
John Doyle and some of the other mem
bers of the Tariff Club came home yester
day. Sheriff McCleary got back on Thurs
day. A prominent politician said that
while the boys were having a good time,
they also got in their work for Bandolf; not
that they have anything against Dalzell,
but they want to see the cousin of Sheriff
McCleary elected.
Holding Dalzell Even.
Harry Paul, ex-President of the Ameri
cus Club, thought Jack Bobinson would pull
out if he were seen. The truth is that
Jack Bobinson, like Dalzell, is ambitious
to be a United States Senator, and he does
not desire'to see his opponent score a point
against him. It is" generally believed that
Bobinson doesn't care a snap for the place,
but he is determined to keep even with
Dalzell before the people. It is claimed
that Bobinson is not popular with members
of the Legislature, and their influence will
be wielded against him throughout the
State.
Mr. Brown, from Lancaster, was in the
city yesterday, and he stated that his coun
ty's clubs were out for Dalzell. There was
some talk of a compromise on Hastings, but
the General will keep hands off all factions
and continue to train for the Governorship.
Uaptain J ohn A. Keed said he was Bus v
selling mowing machines, but he would
probably do a little skirmishing on the
edsres ot the battle. If there was treachery
to Dalzell he thought it was a good thing to
unearth it early, so that his friends could
be more careful. He added that the trouble
with Allegheny county in conventions al
ways has been that the delegation never
presented an unbroken front.
The Report Langhed At.
County Becorder Von Bonnhorst laughed
at the talk of treachery. He said he knew
of no one who was opposed to Dalzell, and
he felt sure he would be elected.
Mr. Dalzell called at the Duquesne yes
terdaymomingto see ex-Senator J, "NY. Lee,
of Franklin, and enlist his service in his
cause." Mr. Lee had goneto "Washington,
but from what could be learned the oil
country is favorable to the doughty little
Congressman.
William 'Witherow, of the Duquesne, is
doing all he can for Dalzell. It is apparent
to everybody that Bandolf is making a
Strong canvass for the Secretaryship, and
with his friend Sheriff McCleary and other
backers will cut much of a figure. One way
out of the difficulty suggested is that Dal
zell be elected President and that Bandolf
be appointed Corresponding Secretary by
him.
A Former Compromise.
This position is now held by "William
Linn, of Philadelphia, and it was created as
a compromise between Charles F. Ettla and
himself when they waged a hot fight for the
Secretaryship at the last meeting. It will
be remembered that 'Squire Lindsey se
cured the latter place. The first is regarded
as the more important position.
Ex-Senator Lee returned to the Duquesne
last evening. He said he was for Dalzell,
and thought he could do him some good in
the Eastern counties. Dalzell is well known
in the oil country, and the clubs in that sec
tion are favorably impressed with him. Mr.
Lee said that Dalzell was a man with some
purpose in life, and could be depended
upon. He has character and ability.
It wouldn't surprise people to see Jack
Kobinson drop out of the race at anytime.
A politician who knowsTiim well remarked
last evening that his chief failing was that
he didn't hold the same opinion lor 24 hours
at a time. His views are very changeable,
and the bluff he made at running against
Cameron and then quietly falling in line for
him is a sample of how he can be veered
around by every wind that blows.

John toflnk and Jennie Ford Qnletly Mar
ried by Judgo Gripp.
John Lofink, aged lit, and Jennie Ford,
17, were married at the bedside of the bride
by Magistrate Gripp at 3 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. The parties are those in connec
tion with a serious case in which the bride
was the victim a few lays ago. Lofink was
released from jail on a 2,000 bail bond
Thursday. It was at his mother's sugges
tion that the marriage was performed, and
young Lofink kept his promise. Mrs.
LofinkJ Sr., and a number of other near
relatives were present. A brother of the
bride was also there.
The bride was propped up in bed during
the ceremony, but was so weak that she had
to lie down again immediately afterward..
The indications are favorable now to her
recovery. As soon as she is strong enough
she will be removed to the home of her
mother-in-law.
The marriage does not prevent legal
action against Lofink, though it may modify
it. The old colored woman in the case has
a mass of evidence piled up against her, and
every effort will be made by the police to
put her behind the bars.
SLOW EXPRESS BUSHTESS.
The Companies Always Have a Bull Period
in the Summer.
"The hot months of the summer are our
dull season in the express business," said
M. E. Yaillant, of the American Express
Company, yesterday. "We can count on
the traffic being slow until August at least.
It does not follow that when the
freight business is light that the
same rule will apply to the express
companies. In such cases the reverse is
usually true. Shippers have small packages
to send, and, instead of using the freight
lines, they ship them by express.
"Freight men are not boasting of good
times these days, neither are the express
agents. We generally count on a dull period
during the summer, though the depression
in trade may be having more than the aver
age effect on us, at present."

Left on the Elver Bank.
Captain Brophy found a satchel, cane,

scarcely supply the demand. Bemember

SOME MM MAY WORK.
Strike leaders Indifferent as to the
. Action of Machine Hands.
LINES DRAWN ON MATERIAL MEN.
Sessions of the Amalgamated. Association
Growing Tiresome.
MISCEILAKEOUS ' KDUSTEIAL ITE3IS
The strike of the building trades is grow
ing more interesting from the fact that the
leaders have expressed their willingness to
let all planing mill men who desire to do so
return to work. Agent Swartz said yester
day the men might go to work if they
wished, and it would still have no effect on
the general result of the strike. His claim
is that if all the planing mills -were run to
their full capacity the men employed in
them would be at work but a short time
until there would be nothing'for them to
do, as the mills could not get rid of their
product.
Xocal Union No. 230 met last night and,
as predicted in yesterday's Dispatch, dis
tributed a small amount of benefits. It
was stated last night by one of the mem
bers that quite a number of the men
will go to work next Monday. They have
discovered that their old places where they
were formerly employed have been filled
by new men,' and their purpose is to go to
work now while they can, for fear they may
be left out altogether.
Thinks the Strike Is Broken.
President Barnes, of the Builders' Ex
change, said yesterday if all the men re
turned to work next week the effects of the
strike could not be overcome this season.
There was 51,000,000 worth of buildings con
templated that would have been put up this
summer, but could not be gotten under roof
now before cold weather sets in. Mr. Barnes
thinks the strike is about broken, and that
the only men who will not return to work
next week are the leaders and others who
aretoo proud to acknowledge defeat. The
Builders' Exchange has drawn the lines
a little tighter on the material men.
The Board of Directors has decided that
hereafter members of the Exchange, shall
buy and sell material only on orders issued
by a committee of the board. This commit
tee will have regular business hours at the
Exchange, where orders will be signed for
material They say this course has been
made imperative for the protection of Ex
change members.
Agent Snyder said last night this action
was due to the knowledge that Exchange
members had been selling to whoever
wanted material, and this was the only way
in which the Exchange could stop it. By
the system that has been adopted they can
be certain that no eight-hour contractors get
supplies.
Claims Widely at Variance.
Mr. Snyder still clings to the claim that
there are not 100 union men working nine
hours. The Exchange members claim the
number runs into the hundreds. There i3
no way of proving who is correct. A. F.
Bryce a leading member of 506, said yester
day the leaders of the strike did' not expect
the men who had large families to support and
who were not financially able to stay out,
to do so. They ae expected to go to work
whenever .they feel the necessity warrants
their doing so, and Mr. Bryce thinks the
union will gain by it
Each side, is keeping well poster! on the
movements of the -other. "Very little tran
spires on either side that Is not quickly re
ported to the headquarters of the opposi
tion, and any radical move that might be
made would not be long in meeting with a
counter move from the other side. Mr.
Barnes said yesterday that he supposed the
reason the strikers objected sb strenuously
to the advertising done in Canada was be
cause it costs more to sendbackthemen who
come than it does to send them to Philadel
phia or other nearer cities.

GROWING VBBY MONOTONOUS.
Toung Amalgamated Delegates Not Having
Tilings Their Own Way.
The Amalgamated Association spent the
wnole of yesterday discussing the wage
scale. The work is getting quite monoto
nous, especially for the new delegates who
came to the convention filled with
the idea that they would carry
things their own way. They are getting
so completely snowed under by the
conservatives tnat they scarcely know what
has struck them. The scale will be com
pleted about Tuesday next, when the con
vention will hear the officers' reports and
take up the other work awaiting considera
tion. It leaked out yesterday that the associa
tion is likely to announce itself in favor of
reciprocity and high protection before it
adjourns. It is said, a resolution is to be
passed to be used as a political document in
1892, and if the delegates stick to the Be
publican party the manufacturers will con
cede an advance in 1892. As the conven
tion is largely made up of Republicans and
tariff Democrats, the resolution will not
likely find much opposition.
TBOUBLE ABOUT TOOLS.
A Plumber Sued for Assault and Battery
Before Alderman Gripp.
Alderman Gripp heard a case of assault
and battery last night, in which James
Burke, a journeyman plumber on strike,
was the defendant and James Farrell, an
employe of McGinnis, Herlehy & Co., was
the prosecutor.
It appears that on last Friday Bnrke took
Farrell's tools from him while the latter
was on his way to work, and took them to
the plumbers' headquarters on Market
street Farrell went to his employers' shop,
on Grant street, where he told of the oc
currence, and Mr. McGinnis went to the
Market street room with him to recover
them. While there Burke caught Farrell
by the arm, which was the basis of the
suit The Alderman reserved his decision.

In less than a month the new duty on tin

the industry are rapidly rushing their ar
rangements for beginning operations. P.
H. Laufman & Co. are putting in two new
furnaces nnd Mr. Lanfman says they will
be ready to put them in operation inside of
60 days.
It is understood that President Brittou,
of the new organization lately formed in
this city,, is now engaged -in preparing a
plan for controlling the industry under the
new order of things which will shortly be
submitted to the manufacturers interested.
Mr. Britton owns a plant in Cleveland,
where plates will be turned out.
MUTEBS' OFFICERS fEPOSED.
President McLaughlin and Secretary Boyd
Asked to Step Down.
President McLaughlin and Secretary
Boyd, of the local miners' district, have
been deposed aud snecessors have been
elected t6 fill their places. This action has
.been taken as a punishment to the officers
for not voting as instructed at the Columbus
conference on the question of coming out on
the eight-hour day.
Three candidates are already in the field
for the Presidency. They are Enoch Conl
son, J. J. Johnson and Abram Winders.
There are strong indications that a split
will occur, as the friends of McLaughlin
and Boyd are 'very angry at thesnnvmary
manner in which their offices have been de
clared vacant

CANNOT COMB TO TEEMS.
The Old and Now Sontliside Bridge Com
panies Fail to Agree.
The new South Twenty-second Street
Bridge Company held another meeting in
conjunction with the old one last evening,
in order to settle as to who has prior right
to the site and to endeavor to effect a com
promise of some sort. The new company
could not make satisfactory arrangements
with the old concern, so the deal fell
through.
The businessmen are determined to bridge
the river at. some point, and it is said the
East Birmingham Bridge Company has a
charter for a bridge at South Twentieth
street and is wiUing to sell the privilege
for a reasonable sum. A meeting of the
two companies will he held at an early date,
when it is thought arrangements will be
made by the new company to buy the
charter.
A Very Tonthfnl Tlll-Tapper.
John Walensach, 10 years old, was yes

To Ellwood by Three Railroads.
Parties from this city can "reach Ellwood
Sunday by three roads. On the Pittsburg,
Fort Wayne and Chicago Bailroad the Bock
Point express leaves at 8:20 a. st. from Alle
gheny, connecting at Ellwood Junction
with special train for Ellwood. The Pitts
burg and Lake Erie Bailroad, morning ex
press, leaves its station on the Southside
(Birmingham) at 9 A. Jr., and arrives at
West Ellwood, the new station on that road,
in time to connect by ferry with the special
train from Ellwood Junction for Ellwood.
The Pittsburg and Western train from the
end of Ninth street bridge, Allegheny,
leaves at 8:30 A. ai. and runs direct to Ell
wood. By this road special reduced fare is

Attention Has Repeatedly Been Invited
To the fire insurance agency of Mr. J. W.
Arrott, of this city, in which, among other
lines of business transacted, the insurance
of rents of buildings as against loss by fire
has been a specialty. It is pleasing to
know that this class is receiving more at
tention at the hands of the public, so that
soon our citizens will be fully protected.
But this, while a pronounced feature of Mr.
Arrott's office, is only a small part of his
business. He insures all classes of hazards,
as against loss by fire in companies of the
very highest standing, and includes therein
all damage by lightning. In addition to the
above one important insurance is being
thoroughly introduced by this agency, viz:
steam boiler insurance and employers lia
bility insurance. For this an invitation is
extended to all who are steam users and
who give employment to numbers of men
and women, to call at once at Mr. Arrott's
office, 533 Wood street, and get estimates of
cost of these.
