THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: SUUNDAY, 2, 1873. FEBRUARY THE REPUBLIC.. Objet;tions bto‘ the Proposed’ 60 Fer ) Cent. Assessment, Uharges of Inconsistency in the Assignee’s Statement of Assets and Liahilitics. Only a Bmell Fraction of the Stock- holders Object to the Assessment, - caring of objections to the 60 per cent ls:?;:';mt o o stockhiolders of tho Republio Zosurance Compny, asked for by the Assignee, occupied all the time of Judge Blodgett yestar- sy MRB. IDE BAID the taking of testimony Tevealed that ome item ofthelisbilities topay,for which an assessment of B0'per cont was asked, was §54,762.64, which the stookholders puid- by -virtno of a resolution passed by the Republic Insurance Company in January, 1872. Tho purport of the resolution was, that stockholders might offsot against thoir stock certain . certificatos of indebtodness, upon their exocuting releases from. claims of contribution egainst the Company and its etockholders. . Passon's evidence would show that all these parties exocuted releases ; that ¥he stockholders bought up, af yarious rates ‘tnder 100 cents on the dollar, cortificates of in- Fobtedness, nnd came in under the resolution, \and applied to py for thelr stock with these certificates, and oxecuted releases. He claimed that theyhsdno rightto the contribution in| 1his proceeding because they had made these eascs, and that the item ought not to bo al- od 8sopeof the liabilities under which an estimate of pssessment wasto bo made. He ralled attention to suotheritem among the lia- bilities, in regard to retdr preminms due and mnpaid—49,351. Tho testimony was very vague fbon it; whether it meant that the Company sumed to cancel policics and refurn the Enearned premium “fo the polioy-holders, {nd actually did tendor it, or whetber it was an Taticipation of policies tobe cancelled by the Assignee, and that ho needed that much money 1o do it, Alr. Ide was wholly unsble to deter- mine. 1f ho understood it aright, the Company | &; 1iad out 8 largo number of policics, and under- took to Toave with what aro. calied * bradch ‘Bgencies” certzin snms of money for the pur- pose of cancelling policies by the return of mn- carned preminms. He believed that some sums of morioy wore left at the- agencies, and that | 3 polioy-holders never took the money; that no tender wea made, and that, in fact, 10 cancella- Ltion of policies occurred, tho policy lapsing. by their own Lmitation.’ What the amount b avewpired policies were which ought to s cancelled be could not_determine by the tes- timony, the Assignee being unable to tell any- thing about it. "He claimed slso that the capital | upwards of '$50,000, and the value of, erty being estimated at over £200,000. "{The cago was argued at considerable length boforo Judge 3 firey, "and but for that calamity would have been ducided 5g0. The voluminous records were de- m?efliw Apri, and a decision was aftors ards fudge Jameson in favor of the y nt.. The defendants lately filed & ‘motion for roliearing, snd, the matter coming up Gary, was referred to Ira Soott, Tho caso s stock of the Company amonnted to, at least, $200,000 morathan was roburnad by the'Assigneey, it was s fact that the capital stock of the Com- pany, in October, 1870, amounted: to over 2:5995’000' The Assignee reported it at 84,573,+ ), accounting for the reduction by stating that it vma retired by the Executive Committce, IThe only evidence'of it on the records of the Company was s letter writtca by the President * ko the Executive Committeo, in which ‘he siated st by & prior vole, he was suthorized to mtre |.b 1$250,000 of stock, and that in secordance therg. . th he had retired sbout 815000t end w&lnc&d it in the West. A-continuation ot thie authority was desired. - Underneath the ‘let- er on the book was the simple_statement “re-’ jport scceptod and suthority continued.” The Teoords showed no “ previous vote.” But hav- ‘stockhalders; itcame in, was passed, throug] sction of the President, into the hinds of Mr. Goolbtugh, o this city: | The books aud the tes- timony showed that Coolbaugh paid 20 per cent, o §40,000, about the Iatter partof October, 1870, ho snnual meeting of tho Directors was held in the beginning of January, 1871, and the books revealed that, in the Iatter part of the samo wmonth, this stock was-taken back from Gool- brugh, and the 840,000 refanded. The explana- Lon of it was, that it was & cancellatior.” TWhether.the stock was voted to, Coolbaugh, he could not find out. Everything indicated “wa8 & genuino sale and transfer. He claimed Ehat the action was unsuthorized end yoid, 'snd ghat the stock ought to be included in the ‘amount of stock which tho Company hss, as.as- ;sots, and onght to bear its proportion of the ns 1 'sessment. Anotheritem in the achedule of liabi - Hes wan$45,069.80—estimated expense o closing ap theestats in_bankruptey. - Ho claimed that ‘an assessment could not be mado for this pur- ipose, In regard to the amount of unsettled osses, 869,950, ho believad that tbo testimony ** ‘Bhowed it to be redvced 10,000, ,If these sov- __jeralitoms ;wero rejected, an assessment of 60 \” jper cent would be unnecessary—an aseessmont 'Df 40 per cent would be ample to pay the losses. ' IR. BONNEY BAID 1811 his clients desired was that, if an order for an ssgesement bo mado, when it Tas sought to b . enforced, it shonld be made in such & form as not “ foprecludo & proper investigation at common w, and tho determination of the defences ch they thought they had against ‘any alsim €or the payment of & farther sum-of money. i MR, M'CAGG ARGUED bt tho assessment should be made 2s low as " possible. Somo of {ho stockholders wero poor, d scarcely able to pay 20 per cent, hence & Bmall assessment was metérial to them, for if ‘&n asgesemont of G0 por cent was made it ‘womd yesult in grest hardship. He reviewed the ‘Assignee's statement at length, cluming that an ‘asseasment of 60 per cent waanot warrantod by a;n. There was & surplus of. 123,000, and was not “singular that the Company shonld be ‘Hrown ‘into - bankruptey? Weat had. ba. come of the eurplus he Iknew mot. /Sharcholders who. purchased stock _with certifieates ut 60 to 65 cents on the dallar wero to bo raquirad to reimburss the creditors * ptthe rato of dollsr for dollar on the smonnt of ‘stock thoy hold. .Was thut oquitabls? There wero. £400,000 of stock on which liability had Yeen discharged by action of the Board of Di- gectors, on tho payment of 25 por pent, and zo- 58 had ‘beon execntod. Subsequently: this Aransaction was reopened, nd certificates of indebtedness amounting £a$200,000 were issued. [This was nnexampled generosity, but he did not pomplsin of it. The esplanation was that the Company desired to retire this stock for the par- poso of selling it sgain. He claimed that the fire Iosses wero not as large asstated in the peti- tion of tho Assignes, and that. money ®nough had _been = reccived to pa Bll Ghe losses; mnd_the Assignes ,had - o xight .to’ collect a dollar more than 'was ‘Tiecessary to liquidste the outstanding debts of the Oomipany. - - B of Rock Ialand, submitted whether, if the Com- pany had no Tight to cancel the stock, tha ra- Jssuo of stock removed the liability of the por- ‘sone who originally heldit. .. MB. WHEATON, - of Aurors, said the liability of & stockholder in .-m fpint stock company depended _either upon his ‘contract orupon tho charter or the law organiz- . the Company, and he insistod -that, under the “contract, as_ given in the petitionof the As. signee, ‘and under the charter, thers conld “%e mo liability upon _any stockNolder for an ‘zsscsement upon Lis stock, except in caso of nc- ‘bmal loss by fire, The, fire losses of the Compa- 2y, 8s shown by the Assigneels re] were '$2)519,084.82, aud thera had been collected $2,460,210.41,—a sum sufficient fo pay neazly the entire losses.

Notes Obtained from the Offices of the Architects. Progress of Work on the New Hotels-- The Union National Bank Building. The activity observed in building matters lnst February doca not provail at thopresent time. Quictudo reigns about tho firesof the architocts. “They bave littlo to report in regard to plans for next season, although there aro many things talked of sub rosa. Their architectural encrgies are mostly expended upon drafts of the new city ‘buildings, plans of which will be offered in com- potition by abont twenty-five Chicago architects, and es manymore alicns of tho same guild. Nomo of thess aro eufficiently ~ma- tured to bo definitely - described. The wosther bas had much -to do with tho inactivity that prevails among tho artisans, and has dolsyed the development of nmew pro- joots. Many buildings in the course of erection ! would havebeen erothis comploted except for tha severity of the scason. Tho amount of building now going on in Chicago would scem oxtraor- dinary in any other city, but is so much loss than wo have been accustomed to 7 lfor o yoar past, that it scems almost * | like a suspension of operations. The lull csn De attributed to many causcs, moro, in fact, than we bave time to discuss at present. The busi- ness area of the city has been largely extended since the fire, both on Wabash avenue and Stato .| streot, and in the vicinity of Wells, Franklin, i and Market streots. More large and costly stores and warchouses havo been erocted than wore in immediate demand. Had these roomy | and handsome buildings been ready for occu- pancy on the 1Ist of May last, very fow of them probably would now be unoc- cupied. But dealers not finding anything in the Dburnt district suitable - to their purposes, leased the best stores they could find on the South Side or the Wost Sido, for one_year, and aro, there- Zoro, fixed in their places until’ the 1st of -next Aoy, Many of these sre morchanls in & small way, who cannot rent the large stores oven if “they deeirs to do o, and the supply of small ones suited to their needs is limitod. In consequence, many who.would be glad toget back to the vi- cinity of their old loeations will not bo able todo 80 bafora tho spring of 1874. Thero are fine stores in eligiblo parts of tho burat district that have Dbeen finished, and offerad forlease, for_nearly twelvo monthe, and found no tenants. This has xesulted, probably, from the exaggeratod rental Gomanded by thoie owners. Thet demand for firet-clags business stractures cousing, thore were fow capitalists who care to further encamber their real ostate in order o ruige money to cover it with oxpensive buildings. Wo heve little fear, howover, that every desirablo building near the business heart of tho city will be occupied. THE HOTELS. The interior work upon thie Sherman House is rapidly progressing. The Tromont House has reached tho fourth story. All the labor of ot~ ting tho stone of the front could bo completed ina few days of favorablo weather. The walls of tho nov Clifton Houso are up to the roof and it is expected that the hotal will be open to tho public by tho 1st_of May. The work of fumnishing the Matteson Honse is nearly at an end. will be resdy to receivo guests in sbout two wooks. The progress of vork in thie Tacific Hotol, the pnst wesk, goos far to give stremgth to the ‘promise that tho great structure will ,be_open and in readiness in the latter part of April, in time for thoso who are to make changes in board- ing or residence on the 1st of May.

Before sho hnd finished, howover, a ball from Shafer’s riflo went crashin, into hor brain: Baising on her haunches ang brelking through the tangled Iaurels, she rushed out of the cavo with her jaws wide open, but fell dead boforo ehic had taken half dozen paces in the clearing the hunters had made in the thicket ‘before commencing their operntions. : Tiva lucky shot emboldened and enconraged Hazen and ‘Shafer to continuo their line of at- tack, After drawing fho carcass of the desd bear away Hazen again crept to the month of the den, and was abont lighting another when the mate of the bear just killed rush out, and, raising up on ita hind foet, made directly for Hazen, who had afi\mg to his feet whon he heard tho approsch of the boar from within, but not in time to retreat. Hazen stood Detween Shafor and the bear, and the lat~ ter did not dare to_fire for fear of shooting his companion.

There was po time to lose, _ however, for the enraged brute had his immense paws on Hazen's sboulders beforo e had fairly recoy- ered from his surprise. Fortunately he had in its sheath by his side his hunting hatchet. This he quickly drow out, and before the bear could got him in its embraco he dealt it a terrible blow onthe sideof the head, bringing it to the ground. Instead of springing back ont of the Yy and ving Shafer an_opportunity to shoot the ani- Eul, Hazon continued th:y attack with his hatchet, and the contest at once bocame again s hand-to-hend one.

The shaggy brate main- tained his gronnd against Lis two assailants for 8 short time, but. finally, from loss of blood and lnck of that strength which at any other season would have been rauch e(gmltur,‘ ‘he was forced to succumb, and fell bleeding and dying at their foet.

Hazen's cbthing was about all torn from him, and he receive Beveral ugly flesh wounds on various parts of his body. -These wero dreseed, and, after o nbort rest, the hunters concluded to finish the other two: bears that remained in the cavern.
