The clouds which had been gathering their forces during the day yesterday about sun- down had become gloomy enough to venture ona. regular old-fashioned thunder-storm. While the people were hurrying home to supper the rain ured down in ‘torrents, and occasional interruptions continued with persistent energy during the evening. About the time darkness set in boisterous thunder-storm was rattling away overhead, and the lightning was incessant in blinding Hashes. Towards 9 o'clock the elec- tricity had exhausted itself, but. the rain con- tinued to fall, mercilesly drenching the theatre- gvers, belated pedestrians, and anxious poli- Ucians. The streets were flooded andthe sew- ers were full, while the venders: of umbrellas andrubbers rubbed their bands and rejoiced. There-was but little wind,and the rain came down in a steady, refreshing shower, cleaning the streets and the air at once. One of the serious effects of the storm was the havoc creuted in the one-story frame dwelling at No. 18 Thirteenth street, which was struck by’ the electric tluid at about 7:45 p. m. Seated about the stove were two French brothers, Joseph and David Sagnon. aged 24 and 20 re- 8 ively, in company witu friend who was untkjured, The tluid went through the roof and passed out through the tour near the stove.

The regular monthly meeting of the Execu- tive Committee of the Citizens’ League for the Suppression of the Sale of Liquor to Minors was held Friday evening at 1330 Michigan avenue, President Elmendorf in the chair. Nearly all the members were present, anda good deal of interest wus manifested. A number of good subscriptions were reported, amounting to $641, including one from the First Baptist Church of $26, being a collection last Sunday night afters sermon by the Rev. Dr. Lorimer. The Agent's report for the month was read and approved. It stated that the police courts had been visited almost daily, and the change that had taken place with regard to the arrests of minors since the organization of the League was truly gratifyihg and wonderful. The urrests of minors were not now half as many as before the League was formed. The Feport stated that now whole miles of streets in the city could be traveled without finding a minor in a saloon, which was a murvelous change from what it wastwo yearsago. During the month six or seven of the lowest dens in the city have been closed by order df the Mayor and from other causes. Eight cases had been pros- ecuted during the month by the League with ratifying results. TICKETS TO THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CON- VENTION.

A disreputable old bachelor says this may beso, but some women don’t read it. They manage to find out all that occurs in it by gadding around town and question- ing their neighbors. It is the Matthews & Holt, not the Mat- thews, gas-machine, us Toe TrruNE styled it yesterday, that is superior to all others. A woman’s journal says Gabriella T. Stick- ney, for a number of years a compositor in the Chicago Legal News office, “ has secured the appointment of Notary Public, and now does most of the swearing for the Village of Collyer, Kas.” If the lady is as gifted in profane history as some male compositors, she might include the adjoining county in her swearing territory without feeling over- worked.

A traveler says it is true that many young Russians will eat candles. Of course they will; they eat up the candles so that they may kiss in the dark. i | AN INVESTIGATION. Facts for Business-Men— Attention, H Property-Owners. « ‘In the Times, issue of March 6, appeared an article on fire-insurance, the organization abroad of companies designed, apparently, for this country, and the system of flash ad- vertising indulged in by many of their agents. Mention was made of two French companies, organized last summer, one of which was introduced with great éclat to the Western public, an advertisement showing a greater “amount of surplus to policyhold- ers” than appeared in the sworn statement of the company, and omitting to show an impairment of capital, thus violating the Hlinois Jaw relative to publication of fire in- surance statements. The advertisement was discontinued by order, as alleged, of the Auditor of State. A few weeks after the appearance of the Z'imes’ comments an addi- tional statement was filed with the Auditor by the Company in question, showing a surplus of $6,16s, and a better condition, ‘The Inves- tigator, of this city, in its April nuinber, is- sued a week ago, sees fit to style the article an unjust and unwarranted attack, and now the Times readers may judge whether crit- icism applied to erroneous statements of in- stitutions violating the laws of the State can be so easily put down by further misstat~- ments in a journal * devoted to the interests of insurance.” : The Investigator issues a fire-insurance chart “ showing the condition of the compa- nies Jan. 1, 1880, which are atithorized to transact business in Illinois.” ‘These charts are recommended to companies and proper- ty-owners as compiled from the sworn state- ments in the Auditor’s office, and are used by insurance agents and the insuring public as a source of reliable information relative to the worth and financial standing of fire-in- surance companies at @ certain time,—yi: ist January. In the list of companies in that chart ap- pears the naine of the. Company referred to,— the slétropole,—atating, that it had $1,081,290 surplus, accompanied’ by 2 reference fuot- note: “(c) Last home oftice statement.” ‘The, home office statement of that date showed no such amount of surplus, but did show an tmpairment of over $18,000; and the state- ment was on file in the Auditor’s office at Springfield when the chart was being com- pile ‘Lo commence business with impaired cap- ital would be a ‘poor introduction for any company, hence inflated advertisements with a false surplus in annual fire chart would be worthy of the genius for finance which so eminently characterizes such alleged schemes. If the impairment could not read- ily be made good; and public attention was drawn to the figures in chart, they could be called a “ typographical error,” or “imistake of the proof-reader.” «" What the people of this country want is Insurance, not bombastic statements,” sai the same insurauce journal relative to an other company; and when foreign companies issue distorted ‘advertisements and refer to prominent trustees, prot y-owners will do well to Temember the old adage, :** All is not gold that glitters2?- ‘The record of the Scote Commercial’ Fire-Insurance Company (recently amalgamated) shows that exag- gerated announcements of financial abilit as local trustees, will not always succeed. ‘Therefore, when urged to accept a policy in a foreign fire: company, let the test be a and amount of assets in this country.
