That in and by tho same firo which rondered tho Lae mar ineolvont, tho sald Poople's Company also becamo insolvent and unsble to pay its dobts in full. That tho eud Pooplo's Insuranco Company claimsto be able to pny from its nsgets but 25 conts on the dollar upon ita linbilities, and from such facts as tho under- signed has boen ablo to ascertain concorningtho truth of such claim, he belioves that sald 25 por cont {8 all thatcould bo collocted in case of a suit brought against the said People's Company. That said lnst named Company has ywholly sus~ ponded and gone out of business ; that its office and such effcets ng it has are located In San Fran- ofsco,more than 2,000 miles distant from Chicago, and cannot bo renched, oxcept at great trouble and exponse. Tho undorsigned has rosson to boliovo that ho can, by golng in porson to San Francieco, sottle, adjust, and compromiss the said cloim upon equitnble terms; and he also belioves that it will bo for the bost intorests of tho oreditors that hio bo Snr‘mltlcd to mako n sot- tloment of sald cloim and adjust, and liquidate, and discharge oll the mattors of difforence be- twoon the said two companies, and he therefore prays that an ordor or decrcs may be ontered ao~ cor .

Tllinois Mutun! Firo Insurance Company, a Gom- pu{ which is flfi}lung the claimant on'the tech- nical ground that citizons of Obicago aro, Aunder tho chartor of tho Company, unsble to sne in any other than . Madison Comnty, tho Shieago oourts having 0o Jurindiction. Tt was doubtful wheiher the special act giving the Company & charter wos not repealed, as rogards this clauso, and His Honor o construed it, lold- ing that where logislation of g0 extraordinarily liboral a character was opon to two constructions, the Court waa not bound to intarpret-too rigidly against tho intoresta of thoso who might suffor at tho expenso of the corporations. The onse came up on tho plea of the defond- nnt, setting up the aforesaid clause in tho ohar- tor a8 to all suits hoing brought in the Modison Qounty Circuit Court. Plaintiff demurred that tho plon was not woll pled (on tochnical grounds, of mo inforest to tho genoral .roudor);' that the charter was gpoclul, and beon repealed, effect, | by the now Constitution, as well as by subae- (Y‘zcmt aots ; and that tho plea failed to set forth tho fact that tho Company possessed an oflice, and was represonted by oflicers in the county whero they woro to bo sucd, whore sorvice cou}id bo had, and thorefore, tho plon was not good. ‘The consel for tho lzlnlm.m having argued at some leugth in support of these pofltiona, the other side roplied, the substance of his - mont, boing, that ho rolied on the nct crenting the Company, aud that tho plaintiff had his remedy in Medison Guung', whore the Company «could make o substantial dofonse. The Court, reforring to the nct granting the chartor, snid this statuto was claimed to have conferred oxtraordinary priviloges on an insur- anco company. It was & quostion whother tho Legislature had tho power to grant such priy- ilogos ; but, admitting [t to bo s mattorof doubt, the Court was not bound to construe the statuto to bave boon intended by the Legisinture to give tho corporation all that was olaimed for it Tho offect of such n statuto would bo in tho cnss of s citizen of Chicago suing this Company, that ho would bo practically debarrod from o romedy, and tho Come Pany could defeat Lis offorta to forco them to s Bettlemont. Tor instance, although the Com- pony might be doing business in any city and county of the Btate to tho extont of hunfimds of thousands of dollare; yet, by Looping neither oficors nor ofices in Mndznn, whoro tho Company must bo suad, no remedy could be had by a claimant whoso loss tho company hod refused to pay. (In this caso, tho claimant's loss is not disputed; his olaim has boen duly adjusted; and tflnrn i noques- tion of the Company's linbility to pay.) There could bo no sorvice, and the defendant, whilo making no resistance to the suit, could not bo mado to poy. It soomod to the Jourt necessas that dofondanta should set forth that they had in ruan, in Madison County, the offices an ofticors that the plaintiff ought'to find_ in Mndi~ #on County, if ho went thero, as the defendant maintained bo should do, in order to lawfully sue thom. Thereforo, without E“mg on the other points, he should suetain the demurrer to tho plon as to want of jurisdiction of this Court, with the leave to tho defoudant to plead ever in five days, MEAVY SUIT YOR TILE LOSH OF A DAUGHTER, A guit, for £25,000 damages, for loas of tho sorvicos of n daughtor, was yostorday brought iu tho Cfronit Court, agalnst ‘Yheodore Honoy- gett, by Thomas Smlth, whoso daughtor, Mary Ann, died, on Friday lakt, in ohild-birth, Tho olroumataicos of thia suif, aa ropresentod by the plalutiff, aro ot an excued{nglymulmmhnly cliar- actor.

Lnst week another sad lito ended in Chicago; On Sunday afterncon o fow friends gathored around the cofiin of awoman in the parlor-of tho Grand Central Hotel, to rendor tho final obsequios, . The funeral lacked overy clement of grandour. The mournors were not many, and tho trappings of woao wore not expensive. Tho sorvice of tho Episcopal Church was read obove the remains, and tho grief was mot loss sincoro that fowsr porsonu wept. Thon through tho mist and rain they bore tho coffin through tho dismal streots, and 1aid it to toniporary rost at Graceland Comotery. The scene Wwas not HeW nor strango— A rainy burinl on n sullen day, ' A g Whou all tho beavon slowers its hoarded gloom, 18 not o common & eight, it inny bo said, tliat it nood oxcito spacial comment.” The denth and burial of which wo speak, howovor, had more than ordinary olomonts of sadness. The decoased lady was of Portland, Conu. Bho had boen for soma ‘yoars & widow, and waa about 80 yenrs of ago, Sho had froquontly visit- od in Chicago, but had not until recontly made ‘this, city hor pormanent residence. Sho came hioro for the last timo in Scptember of last year. Most of tho tims which sho has. passed in Chi- cago has boen with rolatives, among whom is an sunt living on the North Bide. Her hus- band - was tho nophew of an ominent lawyor of good family in Portland, -Ho died threo years ago, leaving as fruit of his marriago, ngon, who i8 now0 yearsof age. The lady camo to tho Clarendon Housp, on North Olark street, soon after her first arrival at tho West. A gontloman of high business standing, an old nugunlutnnca of hers, boardod at tho same place, and paid her such attontion as any gmtf;mun wight pay to any intelligent and accomplished ln- dy, The intimaoy soomed tobo of o Platoniochars noter, and excited hitlo romark, although it was Jnown that the gentloman was married, but was living apart from his wife, and had o sult for di- yorco pending in the courts. The lady paid hor own bills with drafts on Now York up to the last month of hor atay st tho Olarendon, whon they wero paid by hor friond. 8he loft the Olarendon oatensibly hecause hor room was not pleasant. On tho. 11th of last month the lady and gen- tleman r(:{;lelerod at tho Grand Contral, and oc- cupicd adjolning ‘rooms, With a door betwaoon. The social relations of the Indy with all at tho hotel were most agrecablo. 'The time was passed among tho gucsts in rncnivin[} calls, card Iu.rtles, and the like trivial occupatlons, aud if thers wore lurking suspicions of ovil they were ignored, or most gnardadly epoken, About two woeks ago tho lndy was {aken sick, and a physi- cien was called fn'who has tho reputation’of as- sisting ladies who aro in noed of delicate sor- vices.
