To the Editor of TheChicago T'ribune: An advoertisoment hus latoly Leen insorted in goveral of our leading newapapers, the intent of which is chiofly to lnjure the Equitablo Life-As- suranco Bociety. Inasmuch as reforenco {5 mado to the last re- port of the Company, ns its Actuary I feel it my duty to notico it. Tho advertiscment, com- mencing with somo goueral remarks on life-in- suranco, s00n euters into n comparison of the mutua) sad joint stock systoms, much to the ad- yant«go of tho former, nudthon goos onfoa com= pafiton of result, tuking tho Mutual Life-Ine suranco Company of this city as an oxample of the mutual system, and the Equituble Lifo as an examplo of tho joint stock system ; muking it sppenr by nocossary implication that the Equita- bleis subject to ull the evila which have just boen assorted to bolong to tho jowt stock class of compauios, Inreply to this, it may bo stated that in the year 1858, the Logiulature, In their wisdom, and after oxperience of dangers attonding tho simple mutual system, pastod o law that no new lifo-in- surance compauy should bo started without first depositiug with theState£100,000 as n guarantos for thelr policiea, 'Chis in offcet provouted the formation therealtor of any_purcly mutunl com- I:;my, and no compuny baus” boen foundod since, tho Btate, without & stock capital. Whon the Equitable Sosiety was founded, this law was In force, and its promotors had to rais0 the amount named by tho State by monus of a stock captal; but, toiako it cloar that profit on thelr stock was mot their motive in_ startiog the Company, thoy adopted tho principle in their " chastor —a principle ~ mot adopted by any company proviously formed, and by vory fow formed slnce—thaé tho dividends upon_ their stock, which, in obodience to the onasted wis- dom of tho State, oy plodged na o guaranton of their §um1 1alth, should draw logal interost only (which by investmont it reproduces), thus cutting themselves off from any largo_dividonds theroaftor, and aocurlflx to tho polioy-holders all tho beneflts that could ariso from tho mutual systom, with tho added sdvanéngoes of an outside amount pledgod for their scourity, and the prus dent managemont of tho Bociety. In rospoot to tho numorical comparion made in the advertisoment, it {8 to bo remembered that ratios of incomo and oxpenditure are af- facted vor{)mnuflnlly by the comparative age, oxtont of business, aud othor circumstances of the two companics compared. The Equitablo Soctoty hag for soveral yoars past done moro new businoss than any othor life company in the world, sud its oxpenses should be larger, comparatively, than those of other companies ‘whoso now business bears a much loss propor- tion to thelr ald, But it bo romombered that, whilo o Iarge now businoss s expensive in tho obtaining, it forms the foundation of sub- stantial growih, and o _pormanent reduotion of oxpensos In the futuro. Tho Eflultnblu i less than half as old as the Mutnal Life, and a brief compsrison botweon its prosent stato and tho stato of tho Mutualat tho samouge, will perhaps ghow miore cloarly tho relative sucooss of the two companios, and give o slight glimmering of what will bo tho condition of the Eqgnitablo whon it has attained tho presont mature ugo of tho Mu- tual.

ON THE WINDING OF WATCHES, To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune: 8im: Wo huvo noticed tho soveral commutnica- tions from watch-owners and othors publihed in your papor, and, from the purport of most of thom, wo aro gatisfied that a great orror oxists in tho minds of many in regard to tho over, or tight, winding of watches. In all naturo offocts are noticod which can eometimes bo traced to an apparent causo, aud, in some casos, oftor o caroful investigation, tho real causo can bo satisfactorily oxplained. Tho true cause’of any offect remains tho same whethor properly undorstood by human minds or not, Ro, in the matter of winding watches, » fact is stated—n watch is wound and it {s found to bo stoppod immediatoly after the winding coasos, 'Lho apparont causois “windivg too tight.” Tlus we liave hoard assorted huudreds of times by watch-ownors, but, upon examina- tion, wo find tho true cause lios somewhore eluc:l o unloss 8o wmuch fores las been uac in tho windiug as to brosk or, die- tort womo purt of the mochanism, and in that cuse tho watch could not start sgain, no mattor how much it was shakon or jnrred. In the communication of A. D. Schuyler, and also in that of *T. D, L.,” both publishied in Tux ''pipuNE of yestordsy, there uro facts stated which we should not for & woont think of guin- saying, ‘Lheir walches froqueutly stop altor beig wound, sud tho cauo appurent to then s, *Wouud too tight.” In both cosos the watchos aro claimed to bo (what wo should noturally suspoct) English levera, 'y coustruction of watch is as liublo Lo stop at any timo from tho samo variety of causes a8 othior watchos, but moro liuble than mosat others to stop whilo Immg wound, though the winding Do ouly partial, Tho reason of this is, that the constructiou of the winding action is such that s maintsining or auxiliary power is nocessarily provided t keep the watch ruuning during the timo of winding. These parts froquently becomo worn and disordered, and fuil to act, n which enso the watch would be a8 likely to stop after tho first turn of tho key as at the last, aud this without & doubt is tho true causo of tholr watches stopping wlule boing wonnd,” lint watchos have stopped, aud do froquently stop upon bolvg wound, we do not preiend to douy, but wo do deny thiav such stoppage is over caused by their being wound t0o tightly, A man whotio kiowlodyo of watches is dorived simply from his having cerried ono, Liss o perfect 1ight to stato that his watel frequently stopsupon be- ing wound, ond that, by shaking it, it will stars again, becauso au offact it prouuced that any ono can understand and approcisto ; but ho can hard- 1y be presumed compotent to correctly judge as to the causo of this sffect, Inthe daysof Qallileo tho whole world do- clared that the earth stooa still, and $hat the sun and stars possed ovor their heads every day; yot all this testimony did not mako 1t true. Tho watch mentioned jn Mr. E, R.P, Shur- loy's lotter to J. 8. Hamilton, published in Tuz TusmusE, of Sunday last, is kaid to be a Howsr and that it stopped from belug woun too tight. Tho faot of this watch stopping uftor beivg wound we would not think of smpuzh»g, but it could novoroccur from undue forcoin winding, provided (as ho statos) the stop-wheols woro uninjured. We think that all the Howard watchos manufactured and sold dur- ing fifteon yosrs woro provided with tho main- taming spring, 88 above oxplainod, and thoy also will stop during winding if this part s out of sdjustmont, and this, in all probability, was the frue cause of tho stoppage of tha above- mentioned watch. Mr, Bhurloy also_statos that a barrel-cover in gomo casos might bind the main-spring when wound up, and stop tho watch ; and this he sites 08 proof that o watch can bo wonnd too tightly; instead of which tho truthis, the barrel was wrongly fitted up and undue friction preduced, ot tho watch would be more likely to run when {ho epring was wound up tightly than othorwiso. There are aimost an influite number of causes for & watch stopping and starting whilo belng wound or carriod in tho pocket, but we state positively that tho truo causo will never be troced to tho fact of the epring belug coiled up too0 tightly, unless, by so flolng someo parts of thio movomont bo broken or dieplaced, sad, in such case, the watch would not start again by shako or jar. Now, to sum up the wholo matter, wa will state that, in case what wo have written ghall not Lo perfootly cloar and satiafactory to all, we offer, a8 o premium, 8600 to anyono who will show us any modorn watch of the clironometer, English lover, duplox, or Amcrican lover construction thac can be stopped by tigm-wlndmg the watch in othor re- speots bolng in order. lanpecunuy, " Porrn Bros., No. 50 Madison strect. e e} CITY ITEMS, Yosterday nftorncon tho horses attached to onoof Iortune Brot¥ems' beor-wagons, drivon by Machaol McLsughlin, o young man 25 years of ago, living at No, 171 Wost Van Buren streot, took fright and ran away, throwing the driver out, noar the corner of Olinton aud Van Buron wtroots, und injuring him eo sevoroly in the back that ha disd in s fow mivutos, A verdlot of ace cldental death was returned by tho jury at the inquott. , The residonco of Mr, Chamborlin, No, 148 Woat Monroo stroot, loftin cliargo of L.

Quarreling wad no unusual thing in tho {Broderick family when the fathor was At homo, so that no partloular notico wat pald to tho matter until Yames Brod- orick rushod out in tho hallway and down tho stalra, &ml-\l*}naaofl, aud cnlling **murder ™ at tho of his voico. Jamos was immodiatoly followed by John Broderick, The younger -of tho boys just roached tho landing on tho first floor, when he fell dead in the stms of his brother, Both lay togothor at tho hoad of tho etairway, tho {nungnr Brodorick clasped in the arms of his brother, covered with blood, and both appatontly dead. In a moment the wholo ‘houso wae alarmod and in the utmost confusion. Women rushing out of their rooms fo loam tho causs of the alarm, and scoing the {wo boys Xying 00V with blood and nprnmntly dead on the Ianding, ecrcamod frantically. Thoy ran into tho streot nnd roused the entire noighbor- hood by their cries. Somo mon making their way to the rooms ocoupied by tho Brodericks, found the fathor standing in'the contre of tho f,rnnt room, & stupid staro on his faco, and in is hand an open knife covered with blood. Around him, on the floor, waa s pool of blood, and near it a broken bod lsth. Liverything in tho room was in confusion, Tha furniture was ovorturned in all diroctions, asif the placo hod mnl:{ beon the scone of o tarriblo strugglo. Brodorick, at tho sight of thoneighbors, rau into tho inner room, and romalued thore until ar- rested a fow minutes after by tho police of tha Twonty-oighth Precinot. It was not until lato in the day that any connccted story of tho mure dor could bo obtainod, Tho mothor and daugh- tor were half wild with griof. Tho old woman Weldron waa eomplniolg]ntn ed by tho shock, Drunkonness was indirectly tho causo of tho h’ngnfl{. 0w£n§ to tho intomperate habits of the father, tho family relations havenot been of tho happlost. Brodorick is & truck-driver by oo« cus;nhm. ond, although o stoady worker, was addicted to drink. When in his cups it was bis habit to quarrol with his mothor-in-law, and tho mombers of hia family genorally, For this ren- son big oldest son was compelled, withintho past fow months, t6 loave his fathor's roof. On Thursday ovening nll tho mombors of tho family, with the excoption of tho fathor, attendod the picnic of tho Btanloy Assoclation. Brodorick stayod st home and llmud the ovening drinking in tho neighboring liquor-atores, Shortly aftor midnight the pic- nickora_returned, aud wont quiotly to bed, the father having already rotired. About @ o'clock yesterday morning, Brodorick rose, feeling sick and ill-temporod from the dobsuch of the pro- vious night, Aftor moving round tho room for somo time, he callod to his dnughter to know if she had mended a prir of pantaloons to which ho had drawn_her attontion tho evoning beforo. Tho girl roplicd that sho had not, whorcupon hor fathor commenced to gbuso her in tho most violent way. Broderick's mother-in-law took the girl's put, and roproached him for hiy conduct. The old ~womon had searcoly opened hor lips whou hor son-in-law, losing “all control of "his tempor, seized ber roughly by tho neck, nud, throwing hor on the bed, told hor to leavo tho hougo or thero would be blaod spilt, The boya woro sloeping in an in- nor room. _Tho noiso of tho quarrel awakened Jawmes, and he, rousing his brother, said, “Tho old man is beating grandmothor again; you had bettor got up and soo what is tho mattor.”” John arose from the bed, and, going to the outer room, tried to quiot tho disturbance. -Tho fathor, on sight of Lis son, enalched up a bod- slat and struck him, Tho other brother, James, when John was struck, rushed forward and took hold of his father's arm to prevent him ropoatin tho blow. The elder Broderick ut ouco droppe the slat, and, with a pocket-kuife whick he held opon in his hond, stabbed Jumes twico in tho right eldo, After ho ws stabbed, the hoy ruohed from the room and down the._stairs, followed by his brother, until ho ronched the firet landing, whoro, as bofors doscribed, he droppod doad. It was ot first thought that "both the young men were dead. Both Iny motionless at tho hoad of “tho atalrs, John having feinted from loss of blood whilo in tho act of supporting his dying brotbor. 'The scono in the house just aftor the murdor is described by the noighbors as hoartronding, The unfortunate mother followed hor sons from the room, nnd, when she reachiod the first lavdiug, threw hersolf on tho prostrato bodies. The blood of lor children] coveroed her face and night, garmonts, and hor shricks could bs heard blocks away from tho house. At length the womon of tho 1plueo dragged her away, and, tho Ambulance Burgeon having arrived, it was found the oldor brothor was not dead, although very badly wounded. Tho younger brothor, James, was paat all _hope. John, aftor having hig wounds dressed, was Tacod in tho ambulsnco and taken to Bellovuo ospital, The wurgoona pronounce his wounds serious, but not necessarily fatal, At last ac- counts ho was progrorsing favorably, Both of the young Brodoricks aro spoken of favorably by thoir neighbors. The decossed is described as having beon s particularly good young man, Ho neither arank nor used tobacco, and all his earnings (ho worked in o wholesalo house in Pearl street) woro given to his mothor. Ho was to bLavo Dboon marriod in a fow months, Aftor Copt. Garland had taken Broderiok to tho Twonty-cighth Precinct Station-Honso Coroner Young was summoned. A 1ury was impancled, and tho testimony of Kato, he youngest daughtor, takon. Her evidenco was a8 followsa : My mut{mr, myself, aud my two brothors, John and James, returned from & pic- nio last night and wont to bed. About olalock this morning fathor said to grandmothor, * Got up, you old crone ; if you don't leave this houss thore will be blood ng led.* _Grandmother got up and eald sho wonld go. Father then throw hor on the bed. Ieaid tomy sister Clars, ‘Go ond wake up John ; thore will be murdor hero.' M{ o brothers camo out of the room into the kifchen, Father thon struck my brother John with a slat. My brother James wont to protect John. Fathor stabbod Jamos aud then stabbed John, Oapt.
