BUUFELDT REPLIES, Tothe Eiitor of Ths Chisago Tribune: Cmcaao, March 13,~—I have charged this corporation to be tho most unmitigated fraud of modem times. I have adduced proof in support of tho charge, and moan tondduce more, I do not intond that my attontlon shall bo diverted from tho object in view by engaging in any eontrovoray an to my personal charactor, as that ia amattor of no consequence to the public. ‘Thia corporation cannot defend Itself by trying mo. Imsybe o blackmailer, and may be a Innatio; but how that proves that this corpora- tion did not isstto twenty-five millions of fraudu- lent policies and tax its honest pollcy-holders to pay the death losses under thom is boyond my comprehension, Ihave ono matter to astito with tho Mophis- topbiles who writoslotters over Mr. Hilliard's namo. and that will ond this part of the controversy, io saya he has n lotter from ma “ demanding to know whether thoy will pay by to-morrow ot 12 o'clock," and from this draws the inference that I was claiming money from the Company ou my porsonal account. The simplo facts are that A policy, uuder which s loss had cecurrod, was sent to mo in my professional charactor as a aduites of tho have met in the Club-loom of the ‘Tremont Hount ave the University, aud s hearty greotiug to those » of the Alumanl that sra'enabled to otleud this the Brut 1 re in forming 30 asvuciation, we extoud a willing Les lawyor for collection. I uotitled the Com- any and domanded paymont of this policy. ir that makea mo a Diackmailer, I> must plead guilty to the charge, It is, perhaps, to bo rogratted that £0 reputablo aman as Mr. Hilliard should permit his name to be itued an 4 tignre: hoad by tho sharpers who are now running this concern, and if ho was awaro of the fact that thowo parties only keop him in lin place on ac- count of his chatactor, and havo repoatedly ad- mittad such to bo tho fact, it ix probable that ho would not pormit his namo to be vigned to pu lie letters about which hang so many odors of tho Ponitentiary, ‘The men engaged in this bielness make con- tinuous protostations of their desire to sorvo tho publio by furniauing iuanrance at cost; thoy havo uo personal interests to subsorvo; they want to mnko no money outof it—not a cent; it is all for tho benotit of tho poor widowa and fatheriess children. No person with sympathetic norveacan read thelr papor without shedding tears, hoy aro eo thoughtfal and so disinter- costed in providing » meana by which tho poor boreaved can got ucruss of bread. But let us tako a look inside tha oflice, when no polloy-hold- ora are prevent, and sos whiethor thoso fallows are likely to weep much at a funeral, Extract of aletter from Martin Ryan, Secro- tary of the Company: may ray, however, that Inm determined to throw “Mugains before E leave, ‘Ihe plan ts this: ‘The Ldwards party fs red-hot, think {¢ is the bigutest thing out of jail, and want to get control. Tagreed to get cut $30,(60 of Harden's backers’ stock, which I have dono; this leaves twa vacancies in tho Hoard, Hilliard and Dates, We will havo a epectal meeting of tho Beard to elect Edwards and litw friend, who 14 to take Lond’a place as ‘resaurer. They bave promised to boost Harden, ‘Whore are over revonty deaths now, and more comingin every day, and'I can't, for the life of ms, feo how the Cotnpany can pull through, Dut Edwanie and his friends ara woulthy and intlucatlal, and will moyo heaven aud earth to keep afloat, Edwards will try the desperate remedy you suggest- ed, which may holp to pay up oxt+ting fouscs, but it wilt bo @ bad record to fico in the eld, Now, if thia was ‘the biggest thing ont of jail,” and Edsvards and his party wore so ‘red- hot to get control of it,” what was tho motive? Is there anybody fool enough to believe that there was nothing but puro benevoleuce bebind that movement, aud that thoy wero actuated nololy by tho desira to give to tho poor, suffering human raco lifo-insuranco at coat? If theroisa olicy-holdor in the Protection who bas indulged in this dolusivo boliof, ho will now see thut, whilo thero id su appoarance of fairnces on the sur- faco, there is yet an undercurrent of doviltry in this concern which will soonor or Iater bring all wo Hive paid thoir meney into the pool to rief. Ly But to return to tho main question, Iv this Company afraud? Ihave stated tho outrare norpetrated on its honest poilcey-hoidors by tha swindle inthe Siate of Obto, uudor which tho Company sold 6,000 blaok policios for G1 each. Thavo etated, and ropeat, that it holdwont, whon 8 loss occurs, that it has only about 8,090 policy- holders, when in fact ithas upwards of 12,000, and the money collected from tho surplas gucs eomowihero oleo thanto tla paymont of tho policy. : Proof: On tho aiiat Bebedarty 1873, it issued icy, No, 9,293, to J. G, Langguth, of for 5,000. From the Compuny’s pa- por, the -tdvocale, it apporra that thoy take of now policies an avetazo of 30G per month ; for two yeara this wonld give 4,993, which, addod to tho 9,203, mates o total of 13,690, That this avorago ia bolow the truth is shown from astate- mont made in tho same papor uuder date of No- yembor, 1874, that it had a poticy out numbered 17,804, Now, ita last asserament, made in Fob- ruary, 1875, shows only 8,589 policy-holdora Habla to pay. ‘Tho question is, Hn this honcet, fair-dealing Company, in which tho peopla have fo much confidence, Joat 0,305 of ity policy~ holders by Japues, or is it levying ita ssecssmonts ‘on 12,000 while it profoasoa to Lava but 3,539 ? One thing or tho othor must be true: the Company is losing old mombers faster than it gots now ones, or it is mating fraudulent assoss- monta and stvindilng itn policy-holdors. Are tho rata Joaving the sinking ahip? Let Mr. Ed- wards-Hilliard euswer, ‘There ia yot another gamo of fraud practiced by this honest Company. It haa Lapponod that whou adoath occure the assessment {fs loviot and collected, and then the payment disputed and the claim litigated until a sottlomout is of fected at a prico much below tho faco of the jolicy, and the difference pocketed by some- Body, Case in polut: Mrs. Bothwick, of Can- ton, N.¥., was insured in tho Company fur $2,500, and died with the policy in force, An apxoasment wag levied and collected from the other momberu, and tho debt sottied for 925i. Will Mr. Hilliard explain what becamo of tho 2,250, Wau it roturned to the policy-holdors who pald it? I think I can duplicate theso things nutil even the Protection and ite managers whall become disgusted with their own photographs. Mr, Hilliard in his letter sooks to make capital out of the atatemont that Dr, J. Hf. Hollistor has boon appointed their examining physician, As this appointment was only mado in January, 1875, it doce not cut much figura in tho contro- yorny. Thero id not a word to. be said about Dr. Holllator, except that ho ls a good physician and a just man, but his namoand charactor aro used, like others, asm blind, and nothing olse, It will only help to hide, it cannot cover up, the fraud. Tt wastime the Company employed an Lixaminer, for it is not longago that a man (not s physician) examined himself, wignod lia own cortiticate, took outa policy for £10,009, and thon dled. ‘The Company pald tho lows out of the pockets of its mombers, In conctuelon, tho writer may be ‘an impo- cunions whystor,” but still he thinus he can buy ‘up avery honest hair iu tho Protection Life of Chieago at 10,000 cach, and yet have money enough: left to live on comfortably.

Tho Aldermon wandered bsets to the City-Hall and toro there met by Dr. Butt, of the Communist Committee, who politely informed thom that if thoy thought the Communist Commitcea were dead thoy wore very much mistaken, Ald, Quirk informed bim that thoir Committea had been repudiated by the majonty of tho Comune, at their meeting in tho ‘Lurner fall, Dr. Butt reptied that although the Communo had cast ovorboard a majority of the Coinmittos, nnd atu clogs to Leopold Toller, novertholess the Committoohad been appointed for a corlain parpoaa, and they could nos bo disbanded untit their mission bad been fuliiilod, Ald. Quirke eas of tho opinion that the func- tlons of tho Council Committoo endod with tho repudiation of tho Communist Committes, as his Committoo had morely been appointed to shadow and protact tho Communist Committeo, who had no right to demand an investigation of tho Rolief and Aid Society. Dr. Butt was’ of s diferent opinion. The Reliof and Aid Socioty Directors had alroady ac quiescod in tho proposed investigation, to tho mombers of the Communist Committco, aud, it thoy went back on their own words, ho knew hin remicdy. Ald, Quirk remarked that their remedy wag simply the romedy of any othor private peraon.

She ia om- ployed at tho bakory and confectionery store of L, Livingston, No, 180 Miwaukeo avenue, whore Hummor worked for two yoars, Mr. Livingston atates that ho is at a loss to account for tho tranio death of his former employe, and gives im the reputation of having boon one of the neatest and beat confectioners he. over knew, Ho aleo says that Hummor was an odacated man, who was thoroughly conversant with bia own and soveral othor languagos, Miss Brammot waa shockad boyond measuro on learnlug of the nad ocourronce, and rofuses to bo consoled b: her frioade, She stated yestordsy that sho had not noticed anything unneual in Hummer's manner when bo pald his last visit to hor Thura- day evening.

STEWART AVENUE. 1 the Editor of The Chicago Tribune? Cresco, March 22,—Wonld you kindly allow a eltizen and a taxpayor the privilers of making a fow remarks in anawer to a conference roported in Sunday's Tainuse, as being hold between tho Board of Publio Works and Lie managors of tho Pittsburg & Fort Wayno inilroad Company, in connection with the improvemont of Stewart avonuo by sald Railroad Company. In the first placo, it isetated in that report that that treat is G6 fect wido, and that tho Railrond Company occuples 21 feet for its rondway; and, by making tho nocessary allowance for sidewalks, thero would consequontly bo but 8)J feat on cithor vida for the uso of tho public, which would, therefore, be of no yaluo. Now, what tho oxact width ia the Railroad Company requires for ta tracks, I don't know ; but this Ido know: that that ptrect is Just os wide now on at tho time the Common Council granted the right of way on it to tho Itailroad Company; and that snid Railroad Company, in consideration of tho granting of said right of way, did contract, bar- gain, and agroo, to enter into good aud snfiicient bond with tho City of Chicago to keep in good repair, whether by macadamizing, planking, or paving, at its own oxponge, 14 feot, eo that teams, wagons, and other vehicles can pans and repags at soy nid all pointy, and in any ond alt directions along ita Jino of entrancu into eaid city. Now tho ordinances aro thera, and they aroeo plain upon that point that it requires neither ® Story noe a Blackstone to undoratand thom. Indeed, from the whole tone of that roport and the trickling, aud dilly-dallying which the Board of Publlo Works have with tho Malroad Com- Dany, suy porson unacquaiuted with tho facts in the casa might bo lod to think that tho citizens and property-owners in the neighborhood of that avenue woro clamoring for tomothing so un- reagonablo, or at toast so trifling, that oven tho Board of Publle Works, as they eay, wero unwill- ing to ask the Itailraad Company to comply with their demands, lest by so doing it should only resultin iilling up their back-yards and baso- monta with nud and slust ut certain seasons of tho oar. Well, with ail duo rospoct for the opinions of thoso magnatos, who still seem to {aver tho [ailroud Company rather than tha interoats of tho tax-payors, whose ser- yaute they are, I think tho property-owners and citizona in tho neighborhood aforcenid should bo tho better jndyes of thoir own wants, In tho second place, Jot us sco what are the facta in this case. Now tho Railroad Company obtained pormission to Iny its tracky on tho aforesaid ayenuo only on tha express col ditlons that it should comply with all the got eral ordinances then in forca with gue. to railroada, and with all subsoquont ordinances which might be paused in connection with tho same, and also Keop Eighteonth sireat in goud ropsir, as aforceald, for a pablic thoronghtare, Now at that Unie that ection of tho city was very aparscly sottied, and, instead of tho Ratlroad Company boing obtiged to lay down its tracks, ‘on tho one side of the strect and Ieaving 18 tect oa the othor for tho tie of tho public, it was al- jowod to Iny its tracks right on tho contro of tho stroot, and it has subsequently raived the bed of its tracks, from timo to time, until now tho tracks aro nt leant 3 {cet higher than the ortgin- al bed of the street, and consoquontly it will now put tho railroad to considerable oxpanso to move its tracks to ono sido or the othor, uo 25 to comply with the roquiromeuta of tho ordiuances, But according to Tue Tnmoxe’s report tho Board of Pablic Works now proposo to ask she Common Council to compel tho property- owners to cut down their sitawalxs tu 9 feot, to save the Railroad Company tho expose of tov- Ing its tracks: but, to use s connon—though not avery elassical—esprossion, “the thing is too thin; it won't ntick.” And now, Ip couclusion, I would say that tho eltizons of this neighborhood, while grantin the Railroad Company all tho privileges to whic! itis entisied in that thoroughfaro, at the samo tino, kuowing.tholr own rights, thoy aro detor- mined to bavo thom, or fight for ihem to the bitsor ond,—tuko it into tha courtyif they will, nnd into tho field of politics, too, JustivE, THE TURNER-NALL MEETING. To the Editor uf The Chicago Tribune; Cutwaco, March 22.—in your report of the meotlug of taz-pnyera held at Turoor-Hall, North Side, Iam sure your reporter, both in tho heading ond io tho goneral body of tho roport, did injustice to my natiouslity, mysolf, and gon- tlemon who haye served the public of tho Town of North Chicago. Your heading would imply that the agzomblago was of German and Scandi- navian citizens as opposed to citizens of Irish birth, and that tho lattor class of follaw-citizons wero to bo oxctuded from our councils, This is absolutely without foundation, No ostracism was spoken or dreamod or.
