R INSURANCE, THE MEROANTILE COS IRACTING. A prominent insursnce man informed s TRIB. UXE reporter that s cletk of the Mercautile In- surance Company had called upon bim in the moming asking for s eituation, ss he would lose his within & few davs, the Company desiriag t0 giveup business. It was also learned that the Company bad been negotiating with the Globe and Empire Insurance Compavies, ot this citys with a view of reinsaoring their risks in either of these Companies. The reporter thereupon calted on the Necretary of the Mercantile and informed him of the fact that had come under bis obser- vation, stating that they had been ob:ained in each & manner that toers conld be but little doubt of thoir correctness. Ar, Hathawsy then admitted that Lhe Company was suffenng from a tamporary embarrassmens, but ther were irying to arrange matters and bave every- thing goivg on emoothly sgain. by the middio of this week. Several meetiogs of the Directors bad been beld during the last weel, and negoliations were had with the Globe 30d Empire in regard to rewmsunug the risks, but it was finaly decided to make up tue impsirment of capiial, sboumt §50,000, by reduciug the capital stock to about 150,000, or to assess the stockholders, which smountea toabout the same thing. The capital siock at Ppresent was 3236,500. ‘I'he Compauy commenced business about foar- teen montis ago, and since that tine had re- cesved about $137,000 on acconut of preminxs. A large amount of this money bad not yot been coliecled by the ageats. ‘Then they had to de- posit 50 per cent of this amouns for reiusurauce; about 20 per cont had to be paid out fur com- iseions. Then they used convidcrable morey in fixing up the omice, pienting agents, and atber unavofdable expenses in swrting in npew 1psurunce business. It coald, therefors, essily bo seen bow they suffered an 1mpaurment of capitsl. ‘Thero was, however, money in excess of all Labilitics in the hands of agents.

Drer filed a creditors’ bill against the Marine Company of Chicaga, Dbasng it on & judgment he had recovered against the Company for the sum of $9,530.50. Subsa- quently, George 3.

The driving of tho tirst pile woa finished yestorday about noon, and the ro- gult was that perfectly bard ground was found at & depth of abour 50 feet. When the piles bhad reached that depth tne blows of the bammer produced very little or no effect except to shat- ter the head of the umber. it is rather gratifs- ing to know that there isa foundation under Chicago, even though 1t be 50 or 60 rest down.
