better advantages than ever before ulcon.
The burned ward has a capacity of

JOYCE DAMAGE CLAIM.
Under Consideration Bofore Judge
Archbald-Plaintift" Says Her
Property on Ninth Streot
Was Damaged by City.
Another of the Ninth street damage
claims against the city was on in com
inon pleas cotitt yesterday. It was the
suit of llonora Joyce, and was tried be
fore Judge Archbald.
She has a property on Ninth street,
three doors from Nealls' court, towards
Scranton street. The building of the
retaining wall on Ninth street, she
says narrowed that thoroughfare to
such an extent as to greatly decrease
the value of her property. Viewers
awarded her Sl'uO but neither she nor
the city was satlslled with the award.
The appeal was made by the city.
Tho city's defense is that the wall has
not narrowed the street u foot belnii
built to tc.ke the place of the sloping
hank that was formeily there and oc
cupying only such space as was for
merly taken up by the bank. The jury
went to the ficene yesterday afternoon
to personally view the situation of af
fairs. Judge Yerkes was occupied yester
day in presiding over the re-trial of the
case of Catherine Hlttenbciidor against
Catharine Hie seeker, Edwin Itleseckcr
and William Koch. The jury disagreed
at the previous trial last fall.
It is 11 ease hinging solely on tho
jury's judgment as to which side Is
telling the truth, and, as one of the
attorneys In the suit, E. C. New-comb,
Is a witness for the defense, the out
come will attract attention.
In 1MD, Mrs. Dlesecker and her son.
I'M win, gave a Judgment 110M for $32."t
to Mrs. Illttenbetidcr. Koch went on
the note as surety. The lllescekers be
came Insolvent and now .Mrs. IMlten
hender Is pursuing the surety.
He contests the claim on the ground
that he only became surety after an
understandlnt: with Mrs. Iiittenbender
that she would Immediately enter up
the note ngalnst the Hlescckers and
keep it nllve. The note wna entered
up. but when the limitation of six
years had expired It was not vlved
and the consequence was other Judg
ments ngalnst the Rleseckers crept in
and ousted the Hlttenhender claim.
Mrs. Hlttenhender denies the agree
ment alleged by Koch. Tho latter and
Attorney Newcomb aver that such an
agreement was made. Mr. Newcomb
testifying to having heard Mrs. Bitten
bender admit it in his olllce during
some negotiations with Koch concern
ing the Judgment.
In the case of John Kooney ngalnst
Alexander Turnhull the Jury returned
a verdict for the defendant.
A verdict of $ajfl for the plaintiff was
returned In the suit of Anna Pennlson
against C. S. Woodruff, administrator.
The case of Ferdinand Muckley
against' 13. Slkofskl which was called
for tilal Monday, was given to the jury
by Judgp Edwards yesterday afternoon.

They Are Somewhat Coy About An
nouncing Themselves.
Although the Democratic primaries
are only four days off there Is. very lit
tle discussion of the possibilities of the
ticket outside of its head. Hon. John
E. Hochc and Thomas J. Jennings are
making a vlgoious fight for the may
oralty nomination nnd P. J. Neilis is
being boomed by his many friends as a
fitting man to be pitted against Cap
tain Molr, but outside of these there
does not seem to be any pronounced
candidates.
For the ofbee of treasurer E. J. Hob
Inson, the present city controller is ;i
possibility and Henry J. Zlegler, ex
member of the board of health, arc
mentioned,
C. H. Pitcher. W. A. Wilcox and Es
dras Howell are talked of for the con
trollershlp. Mr. Pitcher nnd Mr. Wil
cox both admit that they have the mat
ter of being a candidate under consid
eration, but neither will say outright
that he Is seeking the nomination. .Mr.
Howell avers that he is willing to take
It, but has not made any great effort
to secure It.
For the ofllce of city assessor thero
will undoubtedly be a host of candi
dates on convention day, but so far
only one man. Will J. McAndrew, of
the Fourth ward, has been heard from
us a probability. The nomination for
assessor will doubtlessly rest with tho
slnte makers of tho dominant power Iri
the convention.
DEATH OF MRS. MILLAR.
She Was the Wife of Michael Millor,

.Mutie Magdellna, wife of Michael
Millar, the retired merchant und un
dertaker, died at the family homestead
134 Cedar avenue, shortly beforo mid
night last night. Her death iviw nut
unexpected, as for several days past
she was sinking, and the departure of
her bouI was hourly anticipated. Mrs.
Millar was a patient sufferer from dia
betes for four years. Two weeks ago she
sustained an attack of the grip which
hastened her death. The last four
hours of her life she was partlully un
conscious, and was unable to recognize
any of thoso at her bedside. Dr.
Walsh was In attendance most of yes
terday, and at evening ho notified Mr.
Millar that the end was near.
In tho Hhlno province in Germany,
Mrs. Millar was born woventy-three
yeurs, less 0110 week yesterday. Her
husband and she were reared children
together, and when youths, they came
on the imnio steamer to this country,
coming direct to this city. Six months
later, 'Squlro Potter, of Dunmore, now
many years dead, united them In mar
riage. They took up their residence in
the Twelfth ward, where Mr. Millar

Companies Make Money.
Editor of Tiie Tribune.
Sir: Tho "well known Insurance man"
who gave you the remarkable statistics
In yesterday's pi.per must have ran up
aiuiiiist the Crawfurd county system.
I had supposed tho Insurance companies
whi'o here for dollars, but apparently they
aro In business for their health, us they
"come out about even. If anything a lit
tle behind and haven't taken a dollar
out of the city for eleven year.-."
I haven't the llgurca for eleven years
but for nine ycurs-l.svj to 1S37, Inclusive
Scranton agents turned over to th ir
companies 2,nt!S,K!3. from which good fig
ures the companies saved a fair protlt.
If "In round numbers the ptemlums col
lected hi this city unnuully amount to
nbout $22.00ii." then my figures cannot bo
round. Here they are: 1S'J7. S27i;.ll!: lMiti.
!2M,62S; IS9.1, $272.1177; 1MI, $2t!t,223, und so
I on.
I That the Tndervvrltcrs'assoclation has
full statistics of loyses Is a mistake.
Secretary Hurhes has never been able to
get them; nor has Chief of Flro Depart
ment Hlekey. Both gentlemen are mi-
i titled to great credit, however, for their
ciiorts in tuts direction.
I'p to 1S7S Scranlon was a hard field
to make money In but since then there
has been 11 gradual improvement, it Is
a poorly managed agency that has not
made money for its companies for tho
last twelve ears. Anil that Is as It
should be. The man who would InMii'o
his property In a company that Is not
making money should deposit bis funds
in a bank that Is not making money.
The prosne.-ous company Is the one
that Is able and willing to pay Its losses
promptly and liberally when they come
and. conversely, the one that Is lctng
money must scale down Its losses and de
lay payment. Insurance cotnpaim s'
profits from underwriting Insurers have
littln to do with the Investment pronis
are not as largo as Is commonly sup
posed and considering tho great risk fiom
conflagrations they nro small, hided;
otherwise they will compare favorably
with tho'-e of ther lines or trade. Well
organized, well managed companies, rol
lowlng regular practlres and receiving
regular rates should make money and do.
Tho failures are from bad management
nnd rate-cutting. Cut rates will swamp
an Insurance company just as surely as
thev will ,1 concern In any other line of
trade, with this difference, however, the
Insurance company Is practically out of
the race when It resorts to that practice
and adopts It to keep up a little Innt-er
A good n'tlelo of Insurance will always
bring a ffood price like good goods on
good securities. It frequently requires a
tire, however, to demonstrate to some
men that they haven't that kind.
