Suspension of Shepard, Davis & Co.
of BURLINGTON.

The Burlington Sentinel of Saturday
| says:
A heavy blow has fallen upon our com.
munity in the suspension of Shepard
Davis & Co., one of the largest lumber con-
Germs, not only in this city, but in the
country. They are compelled to suspend
for two causes, viz: the heavy traDsac-
tionst in which they were complicated with
parties in Canada, and the great depreca-
| ton in the price of lumber during the last
year. They will Immediately call meet
| ing of their creditors and make a state
ment of their affairs, when it is hoped ar
rangements will be made for the resump.
| ton of their business.
The extensive mills of the concern were
stopped Friday morning and their large
force of employees discharged The mem
bers of the firm are Otis Shepard of Dor
chester, Mass, George G. Nichols of
Charlestown, Mass, Lewis A. Hall of
Cambridge, Mass, Mial Davis, George II.
Morse and VIM. A. Crombie of this city.
All these gentlemen have high standing
as business men and citizens, and in their
misfortune, which we sincerely trust will
be temporary, they will have the most sim
cere sympathy of the entire population of
the cities IN which they reside.
Their suspension involves the failure of
Hall s. Co., of Montreal and New York
city, and Shepard, Hall & Co., of Boston
and Ogdensburg. H.
1t Is hoped that arrangements will be
made by which any further stoppage of
the mills and consequent throwing out of
employment of the $50 employees of the
firm, will be avoided. The assets of the
firm are reported very large and fully
enough to cover their Indebtedness. The
Free Press of Friday evening says:
"The concern has always been very
prompt paymaster, settling their bills
monthly, and owe very little to their help
or to other business men in Burlington
Under these circumstances no serious in
Jury to business of this city need be fear
ed"
Such business calamity to Burlington
has not occurred since the failure of j. &
j. II. Peck & Co., in 1854.
A Boston dispatch says it is reported
that Messrs. Shepard, Hall & Co, the ex-
tensive lumber dealers of this city, have
about 81, 800, 900. The failure has caused
considerable comment in financial circles,
rs numerous Boston banks held nearly
81, 100000 of their paper. A Montreal
bank also has about 100000 of the paper,
and another bank in that city has $780,
900. 1t is stated that only twenty per
cent. of the Indebtedness is in business
paper. The failure is attributed to the
long depression in the lumber trade.
The Free Press of Saturday evening says
rumor being in circulation on the street,
this morning, that Shepard, Davis s. Co.
owed the Burlington savings bank $780,
900, we inquired at the bank in regard to
the fact and learned that the entire in
debtedness Of that firm to that institution
Is $4S, 900, which is secured not only by q
first mortgage of real estate worth more
than five times that amount, but also by
tho most undoubted names as endorsers.

Cuban Troubles.

WASHINGTON, Oct 3.
Information received here from Havana
shows that there is u gieat deal of dssaiis-
faction and uneasiness in Cuba among the
wealthy Spanards at the prolongation of
the instruction, by which immense dam
age has resulted u all material interests in
the island, the injury being incalcuiable.
They have, therefore, united IN a relnon-
STRANGE to the Spanish government against
the continuance of hostile movements to
suppress the instruction, believing that ly
wise policy peace may be reached between
the contcnding parties, without further
bl0odshed. Not succeeding in their efforts
for Cancellation and relief, story
comes from sources which are said
to be reliable, that these wealthy Span
iards have either directly or indirectly pro-
posed to the Cuban junta at New Yofk to
cooperate with 1t in such measures as may
effect an accommodation between the con-
tending parties, but that the junta decline
their overtures. declaring their determine
ton to continue the war until their object
in commencing 1t, namely the ;independ-
ence of Cuba, shall have been secured.
There is no means of ascertaining the en-
tire expense Of this war ON the part of
Spain further than that $40, 900, 900 were
expended for military purposes in one
year, namely 1901, in Cuba, TO say
nothing of the fleet of gunboats in Cuban
waters. s,,,...., q
The same official source, says that the
aggregate force under arms exceeded one
urdred thousand men, more than half of
whom were regular troops, and that the
losses Of the army Of Cuba exceeded $4,000
men. The insurgept forces at that time
! did not number more than 6,00O OF all
arms. II is In view Of such vast expenses,
without corresponding results, that promi-
nent Spaniards, both in Cuba and Spain,
are anxious for cessation Of hostilities
but 1t is the opinion of gentlemen at Mad
rid, as expressed In correspondence from
Spain, that the want of stability in the
government and The prevalence of civil
war in Spain excludes a consideration of
the paclhcation OF Cuba. 1l

space being densely crowded. Of course
they received much sympathy from the

their being found guilty, as the evidence lie
lacking to convict them.

Moody at Brattleboro.


BRATrLRBoRo, Oct. 8.
ID. l.. Moody, the evangelist, preached
an hour to about one thousand people in
the town hall, to-day, beginning at nine
o'clock. Previous to his coming, and at
his request, u committee from the Baptist,
Congregational aud Methodist churches
had issued tickets of admission whereby
the audience was chiefly made up of men,
bcrs of the churches and those interested
in his work. The meeting was opened by
Rev. Mr.. Burchard of the Baptist church,
followed by singing from mixed choir of
nearly one hundred voices.
Mr.. Moody began by reading part of the
sixth chapter of Isaiah and 25th chapter OF
the Gospel of st. Matthew. His sermon
w,s devoted to the lack of enthusiasm In
the church, saying the worst thing God
contends with to-day IS this dead, cold for
malsm in the church. There are three
qualifications that child of God has got to
enthusiasm, love and sympathy.
Without these our labors are AS naught.
His sermon was interspersed with touch
ing anecdotes applicable to his several
points and was attentively listened to by
his audience, who we're often moved to
tears.
