The Danville Asylum.
The insurance on the portion of the
Danville Asylum recently destroyed by
fire has been adjusted, says the Hazleton
Sentinel , and the award accepted by all
concerned. The hospital is to receive
$200,116 01. A temporary kitchen at the
institution is about completed and a
large range m it has been in use for sev
eral days past. A force of laborers is
now removing the burnt portion, and as
soon as that is completed, rebuilding will
begin. The plan of operation is to con
fine the work entirely to the part occu
pied by patients, so as to have room for
them as early as possible, and as large
an extent as the available funds will per
mit. The center building will be left as
it is, except the repairs that are necessa
ry to protect the steam and other pipes
that run through it. All the walls of the
latter building will have to be recon
structed from the cellar. It is expected
to put all the rest of the damaged parts
under roof this soasou, in order to pro
tect the walls that remain intact.
In the work of rebuilding, iron will be
used instead of wood for cornices. All
communication between the stories will
be entirely of brick. The additional ex
pense will be $12,000 more thitn for sim
ple wooden joist. It has also been decid
ed to make an addition to the recess
room twenty feet back, thus giving more
day room to the excited patients.
The present number of patients at the
hospital is 170. Eight have been admit
ted since March sth, when the Are occur
red. There is room for 250 male patients
now, and 53 could be admitted.
Interesting Facts From the Insurance
Commissioner's Report.
The eighth annual report of the insu
rance commissioner of Pennsylvania, J.
M. Forster,gives in detail a great amount
of information pertaining to the business
transacted by both foreign and domestic
insurance corporations doing business in
this state. It shows that at the present
time there is not an insurance company
doing business in this state with a capit
al stock of less than $100,000; several,
rather than increase their capital to this
amount in accordance wiili the legislative
act of 1876 and which took effect on the
first of the paesent month, retired from
busiuess. The same act required all com
panies of other states who had not a cap
ital of or who couid not exhibit assets of
at least $200,000 over liabilities, to with
draw from the transaction of any busi
ness in this state. Twenty-three com
panies withdrew, representing a capital
of $6,428,826 and eight new ones, com
plying in full with the requirements of
the law, with a capital aggregating $5,-
065,630, were authorized to transact
business. The report contains the state
ments of three hundred and thirty-eight
companies, embracing forty-two joint
stock and one hundred aud sixty-five
mutual compauies of this state, one hun
dred and five of other states and twenty
six foreign. These companies wrote
risks duriug the year 1880 amounting to
$8,198,802,514, receiving in premiums
$61,719,201.01, and paying losses of $35,-
509,174.26, a ratio of loss to premium
received of 57.53 per ceut. This shows
a business in excess of that done in 1879
of risks written, $1,106.942,070; of pre
miums received, $7,815,972-56; of losses
paid, $1,855,256.03.
Of the business of the Pennsylvania
compauies alone the report shows a total
premium income of $9,363,142.79; re
ceipts from other sources of $1,712,575.-
15 making the gross receipts amount to
$11,075,707.94 with gross expenditures
$8,624,151.49; dividends paid of $1,634,-
845.94. The ratio of losses paid to
premium income is 61.34 per cent. The
business transacted in Pennsylvania by
Pennsylvania companies during the year
1880 was as follows: Risks written (lire,
marine and inland), $258,039,786; prem
iums received, $2,503,887.83; losses paid
$2,455,097.77.
The exhibit of the various Pennsylvania
companies shows that but one, a Philadel
phia concern, had suffered an impair
ment of capital on Demember 31, 1880,
but since the date of the report the com
pany has collected from its stockholders
$39,000 to make up this impairment and
give it a surplus.
