EJENUIUE WINTER WEATHER. flic Northwest and the Mississippi Valley Wrapped in a Snowy Mantle. Railway Business Almost Suspended in Western lowa, and in Kansas and Nebraska —Frost Danger in the South. HIGH WINDS AND SNOW. Great Severity of the Storm in the West, Northwest and Sonth. Chicago, Jan. 8.--The blizzard reigning throughout Illinois, lowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Dakota and Minnesota, is declared to be of wider extent and more force than has been known before in years. All the Western trains are behind time, many have been snowed in and abandoned, and very little can be learned concerning them or of the effects of the storm, owing to the blowing down of telegraph poles and wires, and the stoppage of telegraphic communication. The temperature throughout Dakota is stated to be from 20 to 40 below zero, with & wild blizzard blowing. A telegram from Fargo says the themometer registered 27 degrees below at noon. Yesterday was described as the Roughest experience that had ever been gone through. A high wind is prevailing at Sioux /City aud the temperature is 20 degrees below. Eraaha registered 20 degrees below. Telegraph mmunication with Omaha has been cut -off nearly all day. California telegrams iirere being sent by way of St Paul and the Northern Pacific, with only one wire working. iA telegram from Des Moines, la., says the cold ware continues there, with high wind and drifting snow. All the through trains west of there are blockaded, and the branch roads are snowed under. The Chicago & Burlington trains are Stuck fast in the drifts about fifteen miles south of Des Moines. The Wabash road south from Xhat city is badly drifted. The Port Dodge and Narrow-gauge roads hnve been abandoned. She snow-storm prevailed throughout Illinois all iy, but the weather has not been very severe Bo far, but has been growing colder to-night. All the roads to Omaha are reported practically deserted in central lowa. St. Louis. Jan. B.—The cold wave predicted by the Signal Service to sweep over this section of country and extend to the Gulf of Mexico, -made its first appearance about last midnight in ■the shape of a suow-storm. The temperature was mild and the snow damp and heavy, but before moraine a high wind rose, the temperature Sell rapidly, snow ceased to fall, and to-day the Storm turned into a regular northern blizzard. “The snow which fell last night was swept into driffs, but none of them of serious character. The mercury continued to sink, and ■all out-door nature put on the garb and appearance, and was. in reality, dread winter. Locomotion was difficult, and street traffic was impeded; but, so far, there has been no serious ■detention to business. The thermometer, this morning, marked 10 degrees above zero: to night it reads zero to 5 below, according to location, and the wind sweeps through the streets at a velocity of from twenty-five to thirty miles per hour. Reports from numerous interior towns in Missouri, central and southern Illinois, are of uniform character, and note high winds and low temperature, but not much snow. Railroad travel has been obstructed in all directions, but, so far as known at this writing, there has been no serious detention in this State, or east or south of here. The Omaha division of the "Wabash is bloeked, and some of the branches of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas in southeastern Kansas are seriously obstructed, but the main line of the road is in operation. Trains generally are delayed from one to three hours on the Missouri roads, aud eastern trains are feeling the Weather, but no serious detention has yet been experienced. The full force of the storm is said not to hare been felt here yet. Denver. Col., Jan. B.—The blizzard in eastern Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska, which subsided jon Wednesday and allowed the snow blockade to be raised, was renewed late on Wednesday Bight with great vigor, demolishing telegraph wires for miles, refilling the ents on the Santa *Fe, the Burlington, the Union and Kansas Pacific roads with snow and sand to such an extent that all travel has been suspended, and not a train left Omaha or Kansas City for Denver yesterday. No rtrains have arrived from the East or departed from here since Wednesday night, when the temperature in Colorado fell fourteen degrees /between midnight and 5 o’clock. Very little rtnow has fallen during the storm. Immense (numbers of cattle have been driven from the north by the winds and drifting snow towards Ithe Arkansas river, where they will have to stop, *s the river is not frozen. No great loss is expected unless the cold continues two or three Greeks. Council Grove, Kan., Jan. B.—A Missouri "Pacific passenger train was wrecked by snow in *ihe Downing Cut, about eight miles north of &ere, last evening. Conductor John A. Brown land mail messenger John Pullman started to fwalk back to this place for assistance. In walking over a bridge near here, Pullman slipped rand fell, breaking the bone of the left leg between the knee and ankle. Conductor Brown him to this city, a distance of several Julies. The wind was blowing a blizzard and the thermometer indicated 22 degrees below zero. ■The train was buried in a snow-bank all night, land was brought back to this place this morning. g’he passengers were all comfortably cared for y the train men. Pullman is doing well, and SriU be sent home to-day if the regular passenger rain can get through. Kansas City, Jan. 8. —The blockade on the /roads extending west from this point is almost Local passenger trains are being run ito Topeka, on the Santa Fe and Union Pacific jroads, and to Atchison over the Missouri Pacific ‘and Burlington & Missouri River roads, otherwise Western traffic is at a stand-still. No trains *re moving on the southern Kansas lines. The Council Bluffs & Omaha is still open, though laboring under difficulties. On the overland roads several through trains are lying snowbound at way stations, owing to high winds and Intense cold. It is impossible at present to clear the track, and it is expected the general blockade cannot be raised before next week. So far as known, the delayed passengers are being well cared for, and reports of suffering are considered unfounded. Evansville, Ind., Jan. 8.-The heaviest snow fall since 186/ occurred here to-day. Snow began falling at 5 o'clock this morning and has continued steadily ever since. Up to 7 this •evening twenty-two inches had fallen. The thermometer at 7 o’clock last evening registered 02 degrees above, but has fallen to 15, and will drop to zero before midnight.£All traffic was brought to a standstill at 4 o'clock. The streetcars worried alone until 6, when they were run in, and a broad expanse of uninterrupted white is all that meets the eye. The visitation, however, is viewed with gladness by winter wheat farmers, who were previously very dubious over the prospect Sioux City, la., Jan. 8 —The high wind and cxtrouie cold continue, and the weather is proflounced the most severe ever experienced here, t is not usual for the mercury to fall so low durthe prevalence of high winds. The thermomeeter indicated an average temperature of 20 degrees below zero during the day, with a cutting north wind. All trams are practically abandoned. The Sioux City & Pacific line is open, hot makes no connections with the Northwestern, which is blockaded tight. The weather is soo cold to permit of any effort being made to open the roads. St. Paul, Jan. B.—The crest of the cold wave teems to have been transferred from Montana to Borthern Minnesota, St. Vincent being the coldest point in this State, with the mercury down to 48 degrees below zero, with northwest wind blowing twenty miles an hour. There is a slight moderation reported from Helena and the surrounding country, showing that the force of the wave has been broken in that section. Reports from the Northern Pacific show from 25 to jB7 degrees below zero in Dakota and Montana. Omaha, Neb., Jan. &—No winter storm has been so general throughout the State as 'that at present prevailing. The themometr at 7 o'clock this morning indicated degrees below zero in the business Portion of the city, while on the high plateau the

mercury went down to thirty. This, with a bitter north wind, made the temperature as cold as any remembered by the oldest citizen. No trains have rnn in the State since early yesterday, and no efforts have been made to clear the tracks, because of the inability of men to stand the extreme cold, and the fact that the drifting snow wonld fill up any cuts made. New Orleans, Jan. B.— Special dispatches to the Picayune report the mercury above zero as follows, being the coldest ever known at each place: Shreveport, 1; Alexandria, 9; New Ibeia, 14: Franklin, 12. This is believed to be the coldest weather ever experienced throughout the sugar belt of Louisiana, and fears are expressed that the cane stubble will be killed. All points report the mercury as falling to-night The Signal-service office to-night reports the mercury 19J degrees above zero, being the lowest temperature recorded since the office was established here, in 1872. Fears are entertained that much damage will be done to orange and other fruit trees, etc., by frost Galveston, Jan. B.—An exceedingly cold wave struck this city at about 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon, and the wind blew a heavy gale until long after midnight % Toward morning the storm turned into a veritable Dakota blizzard, and at 6 A. m. to-day the thermometer registered 11 degrees above zero. The Signalservice officer says this is the lowest temperature on the gulf since the station was established here, in 1871. The previously lowest register is 18. in December, 1880. The velocity of the wind has averaged thirty-five miles per hour for the past twenty-four hours. The water in Galveston bay is lowerthan the oldest resident remembers having seen it. Mobile, Ala., Jan. B.—lt is the coldest night ever recorded at the signal office. Two persons have been found in the streets, badly frozen. Pittsburg, Pa., Jan. B.—The hardest snowstorm of the season set in at C o’clock this evening, and at midnight a depth of six inches had fallen. Travel on the street railways is greatly impeded, and trains are all delayed. THE SIGNAL SERVICE. Colder Weather and Snow Predicted for This Region To-Day.

The Cincinnati Election Contest. Columbus, 0., Jan. 8. —The committee on privileges and elections of the House of Representatives, which has been making an examination of the election returns in Hamilton county, made a report to the House this afternoon, there being majority and minority reports. The majority report reviewed the work of the committee at length and submitted a resolution recommending, with the balance of the report, that all the vote of Precinct A. Fourth ward, of Cincinnati, be thrown out, which would entitle all but one of the Republican candidates for representatives to their seats. The resolution also declared the Democratic members, with the exception of Mr. Butterfield, not entitled to their seats. The minority report recommended that the committee be given power to make a thorough investigation of the alleged frauds. The majority report, with the resolution, was received and a vote taken on its adoption under the previous question. Two Republican members voted against the resolution unseating the members. After the resolution had been declared adopted the point of order was raised that one less than a majority of the members elected to the Legislature had voted for the resolution. After examining the rule the Speaker changed his decision, and declared the resolution not adopted. The whole subject was recommitted to the committee on privileges and elections. D‘. F. Wadsworth, an ex-banker of Ishpeming, was yesterday convicted, on his second trial, of embezzlement, in the sum of $60,000, Sentence was deferred. There are two very handsome pieces of parlor goods in King & Elder’s window, which will be there daring the day. They were made for a party in Terre Haute, and are a credit to this house.

THE TERRY-HILL MARRIAGE. The Tremendons Sensation It Has Created in Social Circles in Stockton. What a Chicago Woman Knows About the Bride —Short Sketch of Terry’s Famous Duel with David C. Broderick. Stockton (Cal.) Special to Chicago Times. The marriage of Judge Terry has excited a tremendous sensation here, where he and his former wife lived, and where both Mrs. Terry and her son died not long ago. The judge is greatly respected, not to say feared, in this quiet little city. Hi3 intellectual superiority and gruff manner, combined with his eventful and dramatic, history, have caused him to be looked upon with a sort of awe. That this reserved, proud man should take a bride with a national reputation bewilders the Stockton understanding. When Miss Hill first began her litigation against Senator Sharon, San Francisco people made up their minds that she was determined to secure a handsome fortune, encumbered with a profligate husband. The proceedings for a divorce, involving proof of a marriage in fact, the suits and counter-suits, charges, countercharges and appeals, with perjury and other crimes as incidents of the desperate struegle, are matters of national notoriety. Nothing in the woman’s career, however, has been more dramatic than, and certainly nothing has been so romantic as, the denouement which occurred this morning. In striving to establish the fact that she was Sharon's wife, and therefore entitled to a magnificent dowry, Miss Hill encountered all the opposition which wealth, and power, and influence could bring against her. One by one her attorneys and supporters abandoned her case. Lawyers who became her champions with ardor soon evinced indiffei’ence, which eventually culminated in their withdrawal from the suit, and one by one her quondam supporters became her worst enemies. Well-defined rumors explained the reasons for this. The hostility was given additional significance when some misfortune overtook those who failed touesnond to the mysterious influence which seemed to he at work. Among the few who never deserted Miss Hill, and who championed her case to the last, was Hon. David S. Terry, ex-Chief-justice of the Supreme Court of California, and her leading counsel in the proceedings for divorce. Terry is one of the best-known men on the Pacific coast, his reputation being of that order which is nearly allied to and hard to distinguish from notoriety. His record on the bench and as a prominent member of the bar is marred in his private history. His difficulty with Senator Broderick, which culminated in a duel anuUho death of that gentleman, will not soon be forgotten. The intimacy between Miss Hill and Judge Terry has for seme time been a subject for gossip, but it was supposed to be due to the unavoidable relations which the counsel and client must sustain in such a case. Recently it was noticed that this intimacy seemed to be some thing more than a mere professional one. The announcement of the marriage, nevertheless, created general surprise. Judge Terry is several years the senior of Miss Hill, but is rather a gay man for his years. He is in comfortable circumstances. The marriage, following the decision of the United States Supreme Court that Miss Hill never was the wife of Senator Sharon, has given rise to the opinion that it was planned' some time ago. And it has come about that her suit has resulted in the securing of a legal husband and a comfortable home. And thus ends the story of the most romantic lawsuit in tbo records of California.

Apropos of the marriage of Judge Terry and Miss Sarah Althea Hill, Mrs. Ciara Foltz, a prominent attorney of San Francisco, who is now visiting Chicago, yesterday gave the following interesting reminiscences of the woman whose attempts to prove herself the wife of one man have resulted in her becoming the spouse of the attorney who prosecuted her unsuccessful case. Mrs. Foltz, who by the way is a lady of wonderful intelligence, and whose success at the California bar lias been won by hard and unremitting efforts against men who were her seniors, and against attorneys and a bench naturally unfavorable to “female lawyers,” said yesterday, in her cozy room at the Sherman House, that she had known Judge Terry for a number of years, and except for his connection with the unfortunate duel with Senator Broderick there was no man more esteemed for his many virtues, and generous, heaity, friendliness than was he. “When he was first retained in the Hill-Sharon case,”said Mrs. Foltz, “Judge Terry’s wife was living, and he was not disposed ‘take much stock’ in the claims preferred by the fair complainant whose cause he was called upon to champion. Soon, however, the Judge became, or sseraed to be, at least, convinced that all that was claimed for the fair Althea was just; that there was a contract as binding as that of marriage between her and Senator Sharon, and from that time forward he prosecuted her cause with all the vigor and power of which he was capable. During tlie progress of the many trials incident to this now famous suit, the Judge and his fair client became intimately acquainted, and soon after the death of Mrs. Terry, which occurred but a few months ago, their frequent appearances together gave rise to a great deal of speculation, but no one supposed for an instant that u marriage between, the two parties would bo the result. I can safely say that the many friends of Judge Terry will be very much amused and a number of them disgusted at this marriage. I knew Miss Hill, or Mrs. Sharon, as she insisted upon being called, and more than two months ago she called at my house. During her visit she told me that she intended to marry Judge Terry if the decision, of Judge Sullivan was in her favor. I said to her in a pleasant way, ‘Well, if you succeed in capturing such a eentleman as Judge Terry you will have accomplished something to be proud of.’ With a shrug of her pretty shoulders and a blu3h on her usually pallid face, the lady exclaimed, with some vehemence, T succeed, indeed! It seems to me that if any one is to be congratulated upon having achieved a success, Judge Terry is the person. He is the one who has succeeded.’ “Being my guest,” continued Mrs. Foltz, “I could not say a great deal, but I quickly suggested to her that a woman who had occupied the public position she had; whose character had been aspersed; whose honor, integrity, and virtue had been impugned, and who had been dragged through the questionable ways of an exceedingly questionable lawsuit, ought to consider herself honored in becoming the wife of such a man as Judge Terry was generally reported to be. Miss Hill replied with some warmth: ‘No man need think he is conferring any honor upon me when he marries me; on the contrary, I think the positions are reversed. I come from one of the first families of the South, and I think I confer as much honor upon the man I marry as he does upon me.’ “Judge Terry,” said Mrs. Foltz, “is now about sixty-four years old, fine looking, active, and as full of energy as many a younger man. His friends are many, and his admirers plentiful. W T hile the memory of tho Broderick duel will never be obliterated, and is a source of deep and heartfelt regret to the Judge himself, there is no man more highly regarded than he is. His professional honor and standing are above reproach, and he is straightforward and truthful to a nicety. He has lost all of his children but Clinton, who is married and has a child or two, “Miss Hill is probably about thirty-two years old, with light hair and a very pretty face, although there are a few people who refuse to think so, Her eyes are bright, and, while her complexion is not the freshest, she is a very captivating person indeed. If the Judge and Miss Hili are married, the news will be received by a great many people with mingled feelings of surprise and disappointment, and but few will feel like congratulating him upon bis new matrimonial alliance.” The Terry-Broderick dnel was fought near San Fraucisco, Sept. 13, 1859. The principals were prominent in politics, and each had a large followine. David G. Broderick was United States senator from California, and David S. Terry had been Chief-justice of that State. No such political antagonism had existed be-

ween party lenders since the days of Aaron Barr and Alexander Hamilton. The Republican party, although young, was growing rapidly. The State was controlled by a twowinged Democracy. Broderick, the friend of Stephen A. Douglas, and an ardent opponent of the extension of slavery, was at the head of the anti-Lecompton wing, while Terry was prominent in the councils of the Lecompton wing of the party. The friends of the administration cherished a deep hatred for Broderick. The immediate cause of the meeting crew out of a speech made by Judge Terry before the Lecompton Democratic State convention in Sacramento, in 1859. in which he called Broderick an arch traitor. "When Broderick read the speech at break - fastintfce International Hotel he said to D. W. Perley, a lawyer: “I see that Terry has been abusing me, I now take back the remark I once made that he is the only honest judge on the supreme bench. I was his friend when be was in need of friends, for which I am sorry. Had the vigilance committee disposed of him as they did of others they would have done a righteous act.” Perley resented Broderick's remarks, and challenged him, but Broderick declined, saying: “Sir, I fight only with gentlemen of my own position.” Perley hurried to Terry and repeated what he had heard. Terry wrote a letter of inquiry, to which Broderick returned a curt reply, in which he reaffirmed the statements made to Perley. Terry immediately sent a challenge, which was promptly accepted. Calhoun Benham (now practicinglaw in San Francisco,(S. H. Brooks, (State Comptroller at that time) and Thomas Hayes attended to Judge Terry's interests, and Joseph C. McKibben, David D. Colton and Leonidas Haskell acted for Senator Broderick. A meeting had been arranged for Sept 12, at sunrise, near the boundary lire of San Mateo and San Francisco counties. The principals and their friends were all on the ground, when Martin Burke, the chief of police, appeared on the scene and placed them under arrest They were taken before H. P. Coon, justice of the peace, who discharged them on Jjie ground that no actual misdemeanor had been committed. Friends of Broderick endeavored to dissuade him from fighting, but he asserted that the duel could not be avoided with honor. A second meeting was arranged for the next morning. At midnight several carriages left the city. The party drove about twelve miles from the city toward the Laguna de la Merced. At daylight the carriages were halted near a rail fence which marked the boundaries of a milk ranch owned by a man named Davis. Vaulting over the fence the party went up a valley, the center of which had been selected as the scene of the encounter. Senator Broderick had slept at the Lake House in the vicinity, and with his friends was early upon the ground. Judge Terry and his friends were also prompt in making their appearance. The seconds held a conference and the pistols were examined and loaded. A half-dollar was tossed up, and Judge Terry won the choice of position. Mr. Hayes marked off the prescribed distance, ten paces, the spectators to get out of the line of fire. The Terry party were cool and collected, while Senator Broderick and his friends were apparently nervous and hesitating. Both men were dressed in long black surtouts, and wore soft wool hats drawn down over their eyebrows. After the usual preliminaries, the pistols were cocked and the hair-triggers set by the seconds. It was observed that Broderick was ill at ease. He was also somewhat out of position, and Mr. McKibben corrected him. Terry stood firm and erect. The men held their weapons firmly, muzzle downward. A moment of painful silence ensued. “Gentlemen,” said Mr. Colton, “are you ready?” Terry replied promptly, but Broderick delayed a tew seconds. He then said: “I am ready.” “Fire! One—” There "as a report from Broderick’s weapon, which was followed a second later by a report from Terry's pistol. Broderick’s weapon had been discharged before he brought it to a level with his eve. The bullet buried itself in the ground two thirds of the distance between himself and his antagonist. With the crack of Terry’s weapon Broderick winced, turned half round, and made an effort to recover himself. “Hard hit.” wa3 the expression uttered by bis friends. He reeled ana fell prone on the ground, with his pale face toward the sky. He was “hard hit,” indeed. The ball bad entered his right breast, between the second and third ribs, passing under the sternum, fracturing the edge, and then took a course over the heart, through the upper lobe of the loft lung, striking the fifth rib on the left side, and, proceeding upward, passed through the left armpit. As soon as Broderick fell, Davis, the owner of the ranch, who had been re garding the dressing of his wounds, started to hi* feet and shouted: “That is murder, by G—d!” He rushed at Terry, but was intercepted by bystanders, and was finally quieted. Broderick was removed from the ground to the resikenee of his friend, Leonidas Haskell, at. Black Point He lingered in great pain until Friday, Sept. 16, dying at 9:20 o’clock a. m. Terry immediately after the affair went to Stockton, where he owned a ranch. He was there arrested, on Sept. 23, by two San Francisco police officers, taken to that city and put under SIO,OOO bonds. It was openly charged in the newspapers that Broderick’s weapon was tampered with while being loaded. From the time that Broderick received his death wound tne whole city of San Francisco was in mourning. His death was regarded there and throughout the entire State as a public calamity. The remains 1 (t$ ip state in the Union Hotel, corner of Koarney and Merehar®:reets, amid pyramids of flowers, until Sunday, the 18th of the month, when they were interred after solemn and imposing ceremonies. The funeral oration was pronounced by Col. Edward I>. Baker, afterward killed at tho battle es Ball’s Bluff.

TIIE BBRKE-KELLY FIGIIT. A Four-Round Contest in Which the St. Louis Man Is Knocked Down Twenty Times. St, Louis, Jan. B. —The prize-fight arranged to take place between Jack Burke and Ed. Kelly, son of the once-famous Tom Kelly, took place, this evening, at the Casino Theater. The fight was to be four rounds, with two ounce gloves, Marquis of Queensbury rules, for $250 a side, besides which, Burke agrees to give Kelly SIOO if the latter should stand before him four rounds. A large audience greeted the contestants. Burke forced the fighting from the first, and it was Kelly’s evident intention simply to avoid punishment, which, however, he failed to do, for during the four rounds be was knocked down no less than twenty times, but each time was on his feet again at the end of the ten seconds. In the last two rounds Kelly evidently dropped several times when ho saw it would De impossible for him to stand. Burke thereupon claimed a foul, but the referee decided the fight should proceeJ, and at the end of the fourth round Kelly had not been knocked out. The referee then decided the fight a draw, as it had been fought with four-ounce instead of twoounce gloves, which is accounted for by the unwillingness of the police to allow the fight with the former. Seriously Stabbed by a Non-Union Workman. Chicago, Jan. B. —A portion of the West Side police force are engaged, this morning, in escorting employes of the Maxwell Bros, box factory to the scene of their labors. At 7:30 o’clock fiftysix workmen assembled at the Twelfth street station. The officers accompanied them on Blue Island horse-cars to the factory. Another batch of seven employes came with six officers as a guard, and a few others straggled into the factory without an escort. One of the latter, who gave his name as O'Connel, and who lives on Wentworth avenue, near Twenty-third street, was the one to furnish the sensation of the morning. He walked from Wentworth avenue along Eighteenth street as far as Halstead without being molested, but at the corner os the latter street two men suddenly attacked him. One of them attempted to strike him with a club. O’Connel was on the alert, however, and drawing a knife plunged it into his assailant’s breast The injured man staggered back, the blood gushing from a deep wound, and called on his companion for help. O’Connel took to his heels with all possible speed, not stopping to inquire how badly the man was hurt Advice to Mothers.

THE CONNECTICUT MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE CO. The Trne Inwardness of Greene’s Assault. A Letter from C. C. Hine of the “Insurance Monitor,” the Oldest Insurance Journal in the Country. Offick of Insurance Monitor. ) 137 Broadway, > New York, January 5, 1886.1 HENRY C. ROBINSON, Esq., Director Connecticut Mutual Life Ins. Cos., Hartford, Conn.: Dear Sir—The correspondence between Messrs. Greene and Batterson, published yesterday and to-day, and the important interests to which it is collateral, induce me to write to you and to the other directors of the Connecticut Mutual. lam advised by those who think they know, that I miscalculate your power in the premises, that Mr. Greene holds the proxies, and instead of being your servant is really the opposite; but I will take the chances of error in that statement and say what I thinKt ought, at a venture. + I have criticised the Connecticut Mutual, and shall continue to criticise it, because the facts of its recent history furnish evidence which is conclusive to my mind of the incompetency of its management and the falseness of its public statements. I will confine myself to those two points in this communication. Os my own personal knowedge I state that you are carrying in your real estate schedule property to which you have no title —not one or two, but multiplied examples where defective title at the outset, misdescription, or other cloud has ultimated in making that schedule false in numerous and important particulars. To a much greater extent is it false in the absurd overvaluations which it contains. Under the cover of “cost value” properties are entered at the aggregated amounts of the original loan, plus defaulted interest and cost of foreclosure, which are not now and never were worth a respectable fraction of the sums they represent. Several of these present the appearance of barofaced swindles upon the company, never having produced a single payment of interest; parties having apparently unloaded undesirable property on you and pocketed your money! If you choose to visit me at my office, bringing a copy of your schedule of real estate, I will point out chapter, verse and line. I believe that schedule is a lie to the extent of at least $2,000,000, and I beiieve I have the facts in my possession which will be conclusive in that direction to any person who will carefully examine them. I shall publish them in duo time. Further detail is unnecessary here, but ample details are available to you if you choose to acquire them. Iu regard to the inefficiency of the present management, one need only to examine the statistical history of the company as recorded in the annual reports to ascertain that. It is not very many years since the Connecticut Mutual stood at the head, not only of American companies, but of the companies of the world. It was doing a larger business and enjoying a larger premium income and a wider popularity than the Mutual Life of New York, and was a great company before the Equitable was born, and the way was clear for it to maintain that supremacy and retain to Hartford a lead in life insurance even more notable than has been maintained there in fire. Instead of that, more than $30,000,000 of risks have run off your books in excess of what has gone on, since Mr. Greene became secretary, and four years after that date a decadence began which has continued ever since and throughout his entire presidency without a break, and the very year he became secretary your premium receipts began to fall off. and from that day to this there has never been a year in which they equaled the premiums of the year preceding, and they were at the date of the last published report $3,134,302 less than they werefourteon years before, in 1370, when he became assistant secretary. These ard merely a couple of broad underlying facts. I need not go into details, of which there are many, all discreditable to the company and condemnatory of the management. In my opinion Mr. Greene has been a blight upon the company from the day he entered its doors. I regard him as a mischievous crank who wields a nimble pen and is impelled by an imperial vanity to the commission of acts injurious to the company which employs him, and controlled by an equally imperial obliquity which involves him in the neglect of obvious duties, and my plain exhortation to you is to sit down on him —promptly and heavilyl He is at present threatening to precipitate a conflict which must inevitably result injuriously to your company, and which caD serve no other purpose than to afford him an opportunity to posture as a high moral reformer, while be imputes unclean motives and unrighteous acts to his superiors in the business. I, therefore, as a policy-holder of twenty-two years’standing, beg to call your attention to what seems to me to be your very plain and imminent duty. It is more than thirty years since my connection with Hartford insurance companies began, and yon are at liberty to show this letter to any of the older members of the profession in Hartford—as we are per sonally strangers—and ascertain their opinion as to my reliability, and whether I would be likely to utter such a letter as this without probable ample reasons for so doing. 1 take the liberty of further remarking that it may pay you to follow these matters up. It is possible that I am a truer aud more consistent friend of the company than some who stand in closer relations to it, and that I may at the present juncture be in a position to do it a genuine service. Yours respectfully, C. C. Hine. P. 8. —I had not, at the time of dictating the above, discovered Mr. Greene’s second letter. He appears to have already “precipitated!” Coutrary to my original design, I shall give this letter to the public, as I think his game of cuttle-fish has been played long enough, and people should know something of the true record of the charlatan who is humbugging them, befogging the truths of life insurance, wasting the money that he is paid to protect, and bringing contempt upon an honorable and useful calling.
