Insurance Cases.
------------

          A compromise has been agreed upon in circuit court in the five cases in which Joseph Schoentrup and others were trying to collect inusrance on policies that had been issued on the Schoentrup-Worden track factory, which was destroyed by fire a few days after the insurance was sold to the manufacturing company, and the term of the compromise will be set forth in decrees that will be filed in court at the earliest possible moment.  It has been the intention of  Judge Blair to hear the arguments of the attorneys in the case Friday afternoon, but the reaching of the agreement made the arguments unnecessary.
          In general it was announced today that by the agreement the five companies will pay Mr. Schoentrup and the rack company $2,575.  Two thousand dollars will be paid to the company and the rest to Mr. Schoentrup, who owned the building.  The five suits asked for a total of $3,750.
