En :•;':\u25a0 to \u25a0\u25a0\u25a0>. suggestion to the Attorney Generalof the state that lie tak*- some a«-tion In regardu> thf- New York atid New England Underwriters,he said that he would let the bankruptcy proceed-

f t':."«« who bring it.

The Riggs Cypress Company .has considerablelumber property. It sustained losses In a fir«, ar.damong its policies was one in the New York andNew England Underwriters for JnOV This loss wasadjusted at 12516& Ellison. Mclntyre & Davis, law-yers, of this city, were employed to collect thatamount, but wore met by an offer from the under-writing concern to pay. so per cent of the adjustedloss, on the alleged plea that the concern was

unable to pay in full. The claimant refused to ac-cent these terms and surd. Dunphy obtained anorder in the Supreme Court to show cause whythe summons In th. suit should not be vacated, onthe ground that It was irregular and Indefinite.The court reserved decision on this order.

Up to a tone shortly after the Baltimore- fire th»attorneys or managers of the New York and New

England Underwriters were Breiner. Flske & Ring.

There were also a different set of underwriter*.There were several claims against them for !o«!«esincurred in the Baltlmor* fire. Among the thirty-four underwriters were Robert H. Elder, AssistantDistrict Attorney of Kings County; W. C. Tege-

th<ff. secretary of K. li. Harrlman. and HenryAltenbrand, president of the Manhattan MaltingCompany. These men. with a few ethers, paidtheir pro rata t-hare of the losses sustained. Bre-mer, Plske & Ring and the underwriters resignedin I&>4. Dunphy and ten others succeeded them.

Many losses go unpaid, and there are numerousJudgments against the underwriters. Dunphy hasgiven notes to secure certain Judgments, but thesahave gone to protest unpaid.

Aprop"s of 1 that the New York and NewEngland Underwriters is r-olvent. thcr-> is now

g In the Supreme Court an action of William.pit., as Hssiciif-e of the Ripgs Cypress Com-

pany, of Patterson, T..i , against Punphy. beta— B\u25a0 | concern failed to pay a fire claim

thai it was unable to pay Infull.

The petitioner holds a judgment for $1.15? 40. ob-tained in February, U97, on an unpaid policy, butwhich it has her:. Impossible to collect. There areother uncoUected in''pments against individual un-

derwriters and agamut the association.Th'- New York and New Kngland Underwriters

is an unincorporated concern, doing business undera New York State charter. Their offices have been.it N" S3 William street, where Richard \u25a0'\u25a0 Dunphy.attorney in fact, president and treasurer, still doesbusiness. The K. A. I>elano Company, of Chicago,

Is another creditor. The latter obtained judgmentsagainst the association .mil underwriters for $1,130

and costs In n suit for tire loss under one of theunderwriters* policies. When Deputy Sheriff Burn*went to ihe office of the association on March 15wtth an execution for the judgment, the propertyhe found to levy on consisted of a few desks and

and a typewriter. The deputy sheriff tookoffiiial charge of thes«\ and nailed on the offlVe

\u25a0 that effect. Before the propertycould be sold to satisfy the Judgment, however, itwhs discovered that ;here was already n chattel

: so it had to be relinquished.In the ;>rtition in bankruptcy the petitioner gays

t ...• Dunphy. within the last four months, has

made preferential payments of Incoming premiumson policies. Dunphy's answer to the bankruptcypetition says that the alleged bankrupt, being anassociation '-hart^rcd under the state laws, cannot

be adjudged an Involuntary bankrupt. The answermentions a dozen creditors, including John N. Gold-

No. i> Pine street, and Parrlsh, Fisher &Co., of N MS Broadway. The answer, however,

earing the acknowledgment of a notary puri-

Uc, does not contain the signature of Richard J.Dunphy, th< deponent.
