Eempster says Firo Underwriters was beld yesterdavvancmoon 2t tho rooums of the Ciuzens’ Association, corner of Washington and LaSallo streets, The meeting was called to order by the Presi- ont, Frankiin MaoVesgh. OBJECT OF TIE MEETING. The Chair stated that the meeting had been called to estend to the Visiting Committee of the National Board of Underwriters, who, some- how, had no hankering after Chicago, & wel- come, and to show them that the city was not a8 bad & placo as it eeemed to be. The citizens of Chicago and the visitors had a common interest. In the past few months, since the withdrawing of the National Board Compavies, Chicago bad made rapid stndes. Whas bsd been done, the Executive Committea of the Association pro- poeed to show its visitors. The duty of our cltizens was to render Chicago as safe 8as possible from the ravages of fire. T.ne action of the iosuramce companies bad stimulated property-holders to botter prepare for eelf-protection. The city Fire De- partment was in course of reorgination, and had been sinco the 14th of July. Tho fire limits had been made co-extensive with the city, and Gen, Shaler had been employed to advance the com- pletion of the reorgapization. The work could not be immediately accomplished. The City Governmental machinery had been and wasin the way of the necessary reforms. The Visiting Committee, 8o far, had failed to make a sugges- tion which was not already contemplated by the city, and was not now in course of considers- tion. .0. M. Henderson said he had nothing to add ta the statements of the Chair. MB. OAKLEY, had pot yet hed opportunity to’ thoroughly in- defense. He was well pleased. however, at _the creat advacces being made by the Board of Public Works. He was informed by the Pres- jdent of the Board that a eettled policy beon sagreed upon, sud that the necessity of increasing the water-supply was recognized, and being 88 rapdly carried out as possible. He was informed that tho Board was putting in 8-inch water pipe as the supply pipe. His experieace taught him that 12-inch mains were neceseary, and citizens should not allow the Board to put in a smatler gize as arule. The Board of Undervwriters was 2 voluntary organization, but it represented a large proportion of the capiial of the country ipvested ininsurznce. The Board bad deliberated two years over tho condition of Chicago, and in advance of the iire had, from personal observa- tion, contemplated the action recently taken. New York was not considered as_entirely free from danger by fire, but the Board had persisted in demspding greater security against fire. Whatever New York enjoyed in the way of pro- tection she owed to the Insarance Roard, avd whatever demands had been made upon Chicago were no greater than Lad been made upon his own State and city. a C. H. X'CORMICK ’ followed in welcoming the visitors. and in ex- pressiug the opinion that Chicago needed in- creased fire protection. MB. . C. TARNED followed. He thought that property in Chicago was to-day safer than it ever was. The Visiting Comumittoe represented insuravce capital, while dur citizens represented individual capital, which they were 1 common anxicus to protect from fire.” He thought a great deal bad been done in perfecting the fire-defense by iucreasing the water-supply. Attention had also been fiven to the character of buildings to be aereafter erected, and so eat was the general earnestness, that he could not iee how insurance companies could feel uneasy. He believed that they ought to share in the re- ‘orms going on. If they had acted with greater orudence in the past their losses, he had no ioubt, would have been far less. MR CHASE, of Hartford, Conn., eaid he had not had sufi- clent time here to be abls to speak of the conaition of the city's fire - defense from personal knowledge. He was satisfied, however, from what he had seen and Jearned, that the people were Iosing no oppor- tunity to advance the facilities to suppress_and make 1mpossible great conflagrations. From what be had seen he was satisfied that the buei- ness-maen of the city were deeply in earnest, and he belisved the result would be that many of the withdrawn companies would ere long be glad to return. Chicago bad never proved a profitable field for insurance companies, but he believed the city was at present in better condition than ever. before. He could point to cities in advance of Chicago in the matter of fire-de- fense, but he would not name them, for fear it would lead to an endless and profitless discus- zion. The object of the Board was to securo reaconable protection in its riske, and the mo- ment such was secured he believed the with- drawn compasies would xeéurn,—or msny of em. GES. SHALTR, by invitation, said he himself was seeking in- formation. He had spent the time he had passed here in investigating the condition of affairs. He found a greatdeal of hope in the personnel of the Fire Department, and believed that Chicago would ere Jong enjoy & Department eecond to Do city in the world. The engines of the aty he found to compare favorably with thoso used in other cities. . WATER-WORKS, Mr, Crane inquized whether the high-pressure system of water-vorks would advance the pro- teclion zgainst fires, and whether the Holly 1ystem would not be an improvement over tho Jresent. Mr. Oakley said he was not prepared to recom- mend the Holly eystem, for its introduction al- ways tended to lesson the supply of auxiliary defenses. He thought the system used by Chi- 2850, when perfected, wouid prove the best, and ‘n every way superior to any pressure-system. He would earnestly deprecate the substitution of, 1y system for that now employed. RESPONSIBILITY OF INSURANCE COMPANIES. Mr. Drske agreed with Mr. Laraed in the spinion that insurance companies ought to \hare in the reform. Agents had taken risks in- liscriminately. As proprietor of the Tremont House, before the fire, ho surronnded it with svery poseible protection at his own expense, out, nowwithstanding this, defonseless buildings were iusuredat equal rates. He was glad, how- wor, to be ablo to eay that ageuts, since tho Ire, were loarning o discriminate. Afr. Oakiey replied that the agerits accused of e want of discrimnation were the citizens of Chicago to whom the interests of the insurance :um[:ll_mdo; h:fi been intm‘?led. If citizens wera -iwindied by the agents, the companies Jsmaied gents, P were also i l\?r._ Houghteliog did not think that Mr, Oak- ‘es's ideas would liold water.

Henderson thought true sconomy conld ba | Tound in rpending mouey ‘to induce tho return +of the withdrawing companies. Without proper ! “eecurity from fire, balf'the:business-men of tho | city would give up their business. “He thought! that, in Ootober, 1873, there were some suits pending against Benjamin Lombard in whichk ho (complainant) was sought to be beld as surety of Lombard. The complainant, touse his euphe- mistio mode of expression, **being desirous of protecting his property from being taken to sat- isfy such claims,” employed David 8. Pride to advige him how to protect his interests. That le- gal luminary and ornament to the Chicago Bar advised that tho best or only means was {0 exg- cute several notes in favar of friands whom he could trust sufficient 1n amount to cover his property, together with a power of attoroey to enter judgment, which would make liens prior to tho Lombard claima. Pride at the same time gently hinted that a noto for 8500 would be put whera it would do the most good if left in Lis hands. Kempster also appeared to think that lawyer who could give such excellent advice would be a proper party to leave a. note with, and sssented. Tho next day. howevar, having had a_short conversstion in the meantime with a friend who bhad not lost all his wits, Fempster camo to the conclusion that Pride’s way of ‘ protection” would not protect, He therefore went baci to tha lawyer toget tho note, Lut was tald that it was lost. It did not appesr for about a year, bu} tursed up a short time azo in the shape of s judgment by confession agninst him. Kempster now asks that the judgment be set aside and he allowed to plead, asserting that he bas 3 good defense. BILL TO REMOVE CLOUD. Eliza Reinemann filed & bill in the TUnited Siates Circuit Cour yesterdav against Hiram Wheelar, J. N. Barker, {ra Y, Muop, and G. L. Seott to set aside a trust depd. She states that, in 1872, sho sold Munn & Scott Lot 3 of Bloak 2, in Wright's Addition, taking therefer, as part consideration, Lot 6, of Block 50, in Carpenter’s Addition, which it was represented was freo from any incumbrance. She, however, afterward ascertained that there was a trust deed for 87,500 to the Hquitablo Insurance Company. After the fire, hfunn_ & Scott, having eustained larze losses, zod having claims for about $18.000 against the Insarance Company, an arrangement was made by order of Court through whioh this $7,500 trust deed was seb off against a part of the losses, and thereby paid. _The note secarad thereby, however, has never been canceled. and complainant therefors asks that this mar be done, and the deed declared paid and released.

The staging aronnd the spire of the new Con- fregltionll church bas just been taken down. t is like the effect of unveiling a piece of bean- tiful etatoary. Wo see it now in perfect har- monious proportions. Inafew days the other unsightly and cumbersome stagings will bo re- moved from the bodyof the church, when the effect will still be greater. It is perhaps not known . outeide. of - Kenosha that in June last, when the workmen were excavat- iog the earth for the basement -of this obureh, . there was found an 1ateresting relio of a very remots period. It wasan instrnment in the shape of asmall ax, made of native Lake Buperior ocopper. One eide is perfectly flat, while the other has a beantifully-carved edge. {n the top there is & deep groove, evideotly in- tended for a handle, It is altogether probable that & crooked hanals was nsed, 80 thap the in- strument might have been employed in the same way wa emplcy the adze atthe present time. The edge is much harder than the body of the instrument. Evideotly the people who uaed such tools anderstood the art of hardening cop- er. In recent’ discoveries aronnd the Lake aperior copper -region, old shafts have been fonnd 60 feet in depth, at the botfom of which tae same kind of axes, with other tools, have been discoversd. To what race and what period djd theso tools belong? It will be remembered that when tho early Jesuits visited the North- west to establish missions tho races of Indians at that period know nothing sbout the existence of the copper mines of Lake Saperior. Where is the American Herodotus or the American Strabo who can throw soms ray of light on this integeating snbjeot ? o R EVANSTON.
