The agents were organized into a body by
the election of J. E. Godfrey, of Atlanta,
Ga., President and N. P. Dolen, of Houston,
Texas, Secretary. Their order of bus,ness
was as follows: Dividends quarter and : « mi-
ancual payments, local board?, monthly re
ports, local loans, St. Louis Monthly, best
medium of advertising, and experience of
agenta.
During the discussion of these various sub
jects rnauy resolutions were passed, all of
which were wise and looked to their success
ns agents. Great satisfaction was expiessed
at the success of the company. The dividend
subject was thoroughly canvassed, and they
expressed themselves as pleased with tho ac
tion of tho company.
The policyholders were organized into a
body by the election of Major General T. J.
Wood, of Ohio, as President: Colonel J. B.
Likens, of Texas, Vice President; and M. I>.
Ball, of Virginia, as Secretary.
A committe of seven, of which A. W. Ham
mond, of Georgia, was the chairman, was ap
pointed “to examine into the affairs and con
dition of the company and report the result
of tbeir examination.” The chairman and
secretary of the meeting were added to the
committee. The committee subsequently
subdivided themselves, divided off their work,
discharged their several duties, and, coming
together again, made a unanimous repo t, of
which the following is an abstract:
They considered the erection of the build
ing a “judicious investment;” that the num
ber of officers and clerks of the company are
“ not more than sufficient to perform the
work, and that the salaries paid them arc un
reasonably low;” that the loans cf tbe compa
ny are judiciously made upon a system of ex
amination which insures safety—they arc
made only upon first mortgage security;” that
“ the business of the company is in a sound
and healthy state, and that the business pros
pects of the company are good and highly
flittering.”
Concerning the declaration of dividends in
1872, they reported that, having “thoroughly
considered the cause and reasons” of that
failure, “the building of the new house has
not in any way affected it, as the money ex
pended in that way has been taken from
funds which would necessarily have had to
be invested as part of the reserve. The direct
and chief cause of the failure to declare divi
dends was, that owing to a change in the laws
of Missouri and other States, the company
has been obliged to increased its reserve from
a six per cent, to a four per cent reserve,
necessitating the retaining on that account
from the sum which would otherwise have
been on hand for distribution in dividends
the amount of $478,843.”
Their report was based on an “examination
of minute books, papers and documents, and
interrogations of officers,” the officers show
ing them “every facility for making a thor
ough and complete examination.”
The actuary informs us that tbe above
amount of $478,813 is the difference between
a 4$ and 4 per cent, reserve, being the amount
required to be held by the company in other
States in which the company is doing busi
ness, more than is required to be held by the
laws of the State of Missouri; on a 0 per cent,
basis of reserve the company would show a
surplus of over a million and a half *f dol
lars.

Dr. Waiter Burnham, a leading physician
of Lowell, Mass., and member of the School
Committee, has publicly stated that he thinks
the murderous assault by the Fitts boy was
not merely a somnambulist’s freak but an in
sane act, and that his condition was brought
about by over-study in the pnbhc schools.
Two years ago, he says, it was evident to him
that the boy was being overtaxed, and some
time since he recommended that he be taken
from school.
The Boston Traveller expresses ilf regrets
to see General Batter’s name, by the move

LOOT TO SIGHT IN THE DARKNESS AND STORM.
On the broken ice were most of our provis
ions to sustain the party through the Winter,
and seeing nothing of the vessel, we attempted
to reach the shore, in hopes of finding natives
to assist ns in living through the Winter.
Getting about half way to the shore with our
heavily laden boats, our progress became hard
by the drifting ice and I was compelled to
haul on the Ice again.
PROVISIONS SAVED.
At this time I succeeded in saving fourteen
cans of pemmican, eleven and a tali bags of
bread, ten dozen one and two pound cans of
meat and soup, fourteen hams, one small bag
of chocolate, weighing twenty pounds; some
mnsk ox skins, a few blankets, a number of
rifles and abundant ammunition. In the
morning, knowing that I had
NOT PROVISIONS ENOUGH,
and other articles of food, clothing, compass
es, etc., on the abatement of the gale I en
deavored to shoot as many seals as possible,
both for food, light aod fuel, but could ouly
get three, owing to bad weather having set
in. I supposed the wind to be about south
west On its clearing up I found myself
withio about eight miles of what I supposed
to be the east coast, and about thirty or forty
miles below tho ship. The ice being weak I
conld not transport boats and provisions to
land until it grew stronger. While here I
discovered my other boat, bread, etc., and
saved all. Tue
ICE GREW FIRM.
I made another attempt to reach the shore,
carrying everything in the boats and dragging
them on their keel. The ice being exceeding
ly rough, we stove both boats. We succeeded
on the 1st of November in getting abont
HALF WAY TO SHORE. *
Night came on us and very stormy weather.
In the morning the ice was broken, and we
were drifting southward very fast We saw
no more land for many days, bad weather
continuing all through the month of Novem
ber. We built snow bouses, and made our
selves as comfortable as we could. We were
ten white meD, two Esquimaux, two women
and five childreu m all. We succeeded in
killing a few seals, which furuished us with
light and fuel with which to warm our scanty
allowance of food through the darkness of the
arctic winter. Io the latter part of February
we lived principally upon birds, and in March
commenced to catch seals. Through the
month wc supported ourselves on
BEARS* AND SEALS* FLESH,
wasting neither skin nor entrails. We col
lected enough food in this way to last us until
the middle of May, had we not been driven
to sea by a strong westerly gAle in the latter
part of March, our floe piece being then re
duced from five miles in circumference to
about twenty yards in diameter. We left the
piece on the 1st of April, and abandoned
nearly all of our meat, a large amount of cloth
ing, skins and other articles, taking a portion
of the meat in the boat, which we were obliged

New York Herald, May 10.
The country will hear with feelings of the
most painful interest tbe melancholy tidings
published in to-day’s Herald of the misadven
ture of the Polaris, the failure of the last
great Arctic expedition and tLe loss of its
heroic commander, Captain C. F. Hall, along
with, probably, a portion of his crew. It is
almost two years since the Polaris left the
port of New York on her voyage of discovery
to the North Pole, »nd “never,” in the words
of her commander, “was an Arctic expedition
more completely fitted out.’ f lhe Polaris

Herald correspondent at Bay Itoberts, New
foundland, we have received the following
despatches concerning the sorrowful ending
to tho brave mission of Captain C. F. Hall.

The steamer Walrus arrived from the seal
fishery at the port of SL Johns this morning,
bringing news that the steamer Tigress bad

here, having on board nineteen survivors of
Hall’s Arctic expedition.

REDUCED ALMOST TO STARVATION.
On the 21st of April we sighted a polar
bear. Every person was ordered to lie down
and imitate the seal, while the twoEsqnimaux
secreted themselves behind a piece of ice, en
ticing the bear near enough to us to kill him.
A few days after this we got our boat in the

on deck. They furnished the Herald con es-
pondent with the
DEEPLY THRILLING NARRATIVE
of the adventures o( the expedition, the death
of Captain nail and the final escape of the
survivors, who were taken oft lrom an ice
berg by the Tigress on the 30th of April last,
in latitude 53 30, after having spent one hun
dred and ninety-six days on the floe.
DRIVEN FROM THE POLARIS.
This party, which had been landed from
the Polaris, were driven from her Ly a gale,
which burst her moorings on the 15th of Oc
tober, 1372, in latitude 72 35.
LAST NIGHT OF THE POLARIS.
When they last saw the Polaris she was
under steam and canvas, making for a harbor
on the east side of Northumberland Island.
NO BOATS LEFT.
She had no boats left of the six which she
brought with her from the port of New York.
Two were lost in a northern expedition, two
were landed on the ice with Captain Tyson s
party, one was bnrnt as firewood to make
water for the crew, and the other is on board
the Tigress.
The Polaris was in command of Capiam
Bnddiogton, who had thirteen of a crew
along with him, aud a plentiful stock of pro
visions.
Sho was making a good deal of water, hut,
as Captain Tyson informed the Herald corres
pondent, she was not more leaky than when
he w.s on board all the previous fall and
winter.
HER BOW DAMAGED.
Iler bow was somewhat damaged, and it is
the opinion of the survivors they will be una
ble to get clear until July, and even then, if
the ship is unseaworthy, they should have to
make new boats to effect an escape.
DEATH OF THE HEP.OIC HALL.
On the eighth of October, 1871, in latitude
, 81 38, longitude 61 44, Captain Hall died of
* ! apoplexy, and was noried on shore, where
they erected a wooden cross to mark his
gravs. He had recently returned from a
northern sledge expedition, in which he had
attained the latitude of 82 1C. He seemed in
his usual health, and had called tbe crew into
tbe cabin to encourage them with hopes of
future rewards and stimulate them to renewed
exertion when he was suddenly struck down
and expired, to the grief of those around,
to whom ho had endeared himself by his
kindness and devotion.
ADVENTUr.ES OF THE SURVIVORS.
In September, 1871, tho Polaris entered
winter quarters, aud left August 11, 1872.
The ice was very heavy, and set in a southern
direction. She was forced south, and so con
tinued drifting till Captain Tyson and party
were driven from her.
The sledge party crossed Kane’s Polar Sea,
which they pronounced to be a strait stoat
fifteen miles wide. There was an appearance
of open water to the north. The rescued
party suffered very much during their dreary
drift from hunger and cold. For the last two
months they ate raw seal and polar bear as
they could get it. When
MET BY THE TIGRESS
they showed evident signs of their great suf
ferings, but during the nine days they have
been on board they have improved vastly and
are now in fair health. The party is in charge
of the United States Consul and will arrive
in St. Johns Monday next.

two in trying to get North in the spring of

A PROVIDENTIAL MEETING. |
1 ho Tigress fell in with the party iu a dense
fog, and providentially struck the very floe on
which they were, otherwise they must have
perished. They all seem tolerably well.
Captain Tyson complained of swelled legs
and feet, but nothing serious is the matter
with him. When they left the Polaris all on
board wero in good health.
HOW THE POLARIS LEFT THEM.
1 a ieference to the way in which the Po
laris got away from the party which was
rescued from off the iceberg Captain Tyson
states that he felt little anxiety at first,
thinking she would soon come to their relief.
“I set my colors,” he said, “as she steamed
down along the shore, but tho vessel was
soon lost to sight in the bend of the land, and
behind what I took to be Northumberland
Island. Tbe piece of ice I was on com
menced drifting southward as the wind
hauled to the northeast, opening a little bay
to the northwest of Northumberland Island.
I saw the vessel in the harbor there; her
sails furled, no smoke issuing from her
smokestack that I conld see. I then attempt
ed to bring my boats across the floe in an
easterly direction,
HOPING TO FIND WATER
and reach the shore. I succeeded in dragging
one boat across, took tho water and attempt
ed to reach the shore some distance below the
vessel. We were then drifting very fast, and
the gale was blowing fresh, with great vio
lence, from the northeast, and snowing very
fast and drifting. I was driven back on the
ice again, and compelled to haul my boat out.
Night closed on me and carried us to
the southwest. In the morning we were
abont thirty miles socthwest of where the ship
went in harbor. A heavy sea was running,
which broke up my floe piece, separating ns
from six bags of bread and one boat. I saw
a vessel under steam and canvas rounding a
point to the northwest. Thinking she would
come to out relief I gave myselj no extra anx
iety, but soon we were doomed to disappoint
ment, and, from that time until the Tigress
rescued us, we never got a glimpse of the Po
laris.

6TATEMENT OF CAPTAIN TYSON.
Tbe following statement was furnished the
Herald correspondent by Captain Tyson:
On the 2ith of August, 1871, we left Tes-
sinsack and went through Smith’s Bound.
We succeeded in getting as far north as lati
tude 82 1C, when we returned and wintered at
Polaris Bay, latitude 81 38, longitude 61 44.
