THE LA BOB OBGAIf. Hew the Workimgmuom’a Friend **HMlpemwed*» Immeeemt Atocthold-ers-A Few Pa*ee off the History of at Batmknipt Concern. Samuel Delsell becoming tired of ap pearir ginthe disagreeable role of Sentinel stockholder and defendant in suite brought by defrauded Sentinel employee for hick pay, has finally succeeded in compromising with many of the men. The receiver of the company had already paid the men 20 per cent, on their labor claims, with the understanding that thay were to receive about five per cent more in time. This did not please them, and the consequence was the suits instituted against stockholders, a special act of the legislature making them Immediately liable. Tnese were exceedingly unpleasant episodes, and in one of the trials before Esq. Glass some very singular phases of Sentinel management came to the surface, which at the preeent juncture will prove interesting reading, and taken in connection with some other information not obtained in these trials may open the eyes of the workingmen to the true character of their new found organ. Many of the defendants in the suit denied being stockholders, whereupon John O. Shoemaker produced a small volume of stock certificates showirg that he bad issued stock to them In consideration of cash advanced the concern last fail when it was on its last legs. They denied having received the stock and professed ignorance, but Shoemaker pointed triumphantly to the stub book and they were forced to shoulder the responsibility anyway. The story was then told that daring the heat of the campaign last fall Shoemaker had called npon leading democrats all over the state to help him, or the Sentinel would be sold to the republicans through the independents. He represented that it was a "wood chuck” case, that he could not hold on much longer, and that stock still owned by John Fishback and held in bank by Frank Churchman, would be sold unless assistaace was rendered instantly. The consequence was a gathering of the clans and tha raising of $24,000 to lift the bankrupt concern out of debt Of this amount Thomas A. Hendricks subscribed $1,000. and John E. Neff, secretary of State, and many other democrats from all parts of the state varying amounts. It was only on a few that Shoemaker conferred the doubtful honor of Sentinel stockholdership, the names being comprised in the following list together with the amouut of stock issued to each: Senator Joseph E. McDonald, $1,000; General John Love, $1,500; Willis 8. Webb, $1,000; WoodG’. Tousey, $500; A. H. Pettit $500; J. J. Cooper, then candidate for sheriff, $500; Samuel Delsell, $500; Jackson Landers, treasurer, $500; Calvin A. Elliott $250; Lewis Jordan, candidate for joint representative from Shelby and Marion $250; J. M. Myers, central committeeman, $250; W. W. Caldwell, $250; Cass By field, late city attorney, $250; J. O. D. Lilly, $250; Thomas F. Ryan, $500. These men almost unanimously testified that they regarded their contributions in the light of a donation and that they had neither expected nor desired a stock consideration therefor. They were stockholders all the same and to rid themselves of so unpleasant responsibility it was decided to make a pro rata assessment on the stockholders and pay the workmen what was due them, the concern having gone into bankruptcy in tbe meantime, the $28,000 being swallowed up without causing a ripple on tbe surface. A calculation was made, and it was found that an ateessment of 6% per cent, on the stock would make a pool sufficient to pay the remaining 80 per cent, of the $3,500 due the workmen. Tbe stockholders on whom this burden would fall, not iacluded in the above list, were James B. Ryan, ex-state treasurer, representing $8,000 stock; Wm. Henderson, $4,500, A. Jones sen., $2,500; Frank Landers, congressman. $3,500; W. T. Bo»z. $6,000; Albert Reissner, sheriff, $5,000; D. D. Dykeman, of Logonsport, $2 500, and;John C. Shoemaker, president of the company, $28,000. Of the entire number, Reissner, Dykeman, Elhott, Myers, and Thomas F. Ryan declined to contribute, and Shoemaker, the workingmen’s friend, refused point blank to give a nickel, oq principle, though he was undoubtedly responsible for the whole difficulty. Janies B. Ryan settled by giving his notes for $300. Shoemaker’s refusal to go into the pool of coarse greatly reduced the aggregate amount realized, whioh was something like $1,400. This enabled the doubly swindled stockholders to propose a compromise with the swindled workmen on a 40 per cent, basis. Many of tbe poor fellows took this rather than take further chances, and it is noticed that a premium has been given to thoee who have not instituted suit to collect their claims, several of tbe claimante receiving 50 per cent, on the 80 per cent, balance due them. Seven or eight of the workmen have declined the compromise, however, and salt will be instituted on their claims tomorrow before a justice of the peace, by Watt & Myera. Then .is a great kick among tbe duped stockholders at the way thev have been swindled, and Shoemaker is being cursed high and low by good democrats for his duplicity. In this connection it might be well to state that in the reorganization all the small creditors were squeezed out on a 15 per cent, settlement, tbe new company
were also squeezed out and the clique bow runniog the monstrosity is composed of John C. Shoemaker, James B. Ryan, W. 8. Webb, Frank Landers, D. D Dykeman, Aquilla Jones, Eh. Henderson, B. C. Shaw and J. J. Cooper.
A Card.
To the Editor of The Indianapolis News. Ibdioh.M'olib, August 16, 1877. in reply to a communication in The Evening News of yesterday, over the signature of X. Y., charging Emmet L. Rose, in connection with myself, with trumping ap charges against O. H. Cook, the state house policeman, I will state that Rose was entirely ignorant of such charges being preferred, until they were drawn up and sworn to by myself, and was not a witness as to the charge of attempted rape upon Mr*. Ettie Shaw by Cook; indeed, he knew nothing of the occurrence beyond hearsay. Mr. Rose was called to show that the general deportment of Cook about the grounds was bad, and that he was in the habit of asso-
ciating with prostitutes.
Hog a if McOobthy. A PE0UD RECORD.
The reports of business done by fire insurance companies in Indiana daring the six months ending June 80th, show that the largest busimae was transacted by tha Home of New York, which also paid the largest tax. Tbe receipts of the Home during that period were $58,481.16, or $5 127 66 more than the next largest, and $12,009.60 more than the second largest. The tax paid by the Home, three per cent, of the net receipts, was $1,242 91, more than double that paid by any other com r.and almost one-third of the whole tax . the twenty leading companies. The i of the Home amounted to $17,050 53, a per oentage scarcely equaled in emalintas by any of the other prominent com-
pany,an paid by I losses of
tunica reported. This ia a wonderful showing, and one which the company should be very proud of. These figures must impress several things upon the mind of the most indifferent. 1st That the Home is the moat popular company doing business in tbe state. This must be so because it does such a large busineae. That it ia not a sudden spurt or temporary fancy ia forbidden by the fact that its receipts are eo much larger than that of others of equal capital, greater age and like advantages. The most energetic efforts could not have secured such an increase in eo short a time. 2d. If it is so popular itiabsesure it baa tha confidence end respect of the people. This must be so, for tbe Home ia not a new venture and patronage of it is not an experiment. It has done business in Indiana for a score of years or more. It has been tried hundreds of t’mes. It has sot only been found able and ready to pay losses, but it has been found always honorable and high-minded in its dealings. Honesty has always been its policy. The man who insured in it honeetly has always had indemnity if damage came. His lose has been adjusted at once, without long aod vexatious delays; without stickling at technicalities; without trying to take advantage of his necessities and cutting him out of every cent powib’e; without appeals to law and all the resources at the command of unscrupulous men at such a time. The Home’s policy always has been to give a full and fair equivalent for the money, to make a contract and to keep it in the spirit as well os the letter. It is this policy which has mode it the leading company in Indiana, as elsewhere, which has inspired such confidence in it and which gives it sach a patronage. And it is a confidence which is deserved. 3d. Such a low per oentage of losses shows very careful management The season has been an average one No great and general fires have occurred in the state. The conditions are pretty nearly equaL Therefore where one company shows such a freedom from losses, It is fair to believe that its risks have been selected with great care and its busiuess closely watched at every point. Other companies have been subjected to the same chances. If they loss heavily and the Home ioees lightly while covering an equal or greater territory, it is fair to conclude that it is dua to wise management. And that is the character of the company. It does more business, pays fewer losses in proportion, and pays nearly one-third of tbe taxes collected from the twenty principal companies.. Tbe conclusion of the whole matter is that the Home Insurance Company, of New York, can always be depended upon. It gives sure indemnity. It pays losses fairly and speedily. It is as solid as granite. Its immmense assets are invested in the beet eacnrities and such as are always marketable. It is an institution managed about as well as human prudence can suggest It charges reasonable rates for iusarance, and those who have property to insure need look no farther. With a policy in the Home, no man’s sleep will be disturbed by visions of loss if fire comes. Its agents are everywhere, and in this city are M. R Barnard A Co. H. H. Walker, agent for the state.
HELIOTYPE PIC1URES. The new heliotype process of reproducing engravings with perfect exactness so cheaply as to leave no excuse for purchasing common engravings or any ef the numerous daubs of the chroeso variety, baa been successfully inaugurated by Osgood & Co., of Boatoa, who now produce a picture equal and in some respects superior to steel engraving for one-tenth the oost. They have already issued more than 250 copies of the works of the best artists, producing pictures which usually sell for ten dollars, for one tenth of that sum. Bowen, Stewart & Co., of this city, are special agent* for these pictures,and have all of them thus far issued on exhibition and sale.
