FAILURE.

Over week ago it was made known
through certain business sources, that the
firm Of F. A. & G.. W. Churchman, of this
city had failed. As yet no idea. Of the
amount OF the liabilities Of the concern has
been ascertained, but they are understood
to be large. The failure will affect VIII
mington parties, save in one or two in
stancef, not very heavily. A meeting Of
tAe creditors, representative Of The HER.
AID was informed yesterday, would be held
some day next week in his city. This firm
was what is called in the circles of lumber
men, "producers," being engaged in cutting
ard selling lumber both in logs and IN
boards, The cause of the failure is said
to be the great depression In the lumber
market--in many Instances the lumber not
bringing as much on sale as 1t cost to pro.

saw mills in Lynamahing and operated
large tracts of timber lands in nori hwestel =
Pennsylvania. The failure has been mat
ter of some considerable surprise III Will

depends altogether upon the action Of the

ployed In tie work, and the whole is under
The superintendent of Mr.. L. Grimes, q
master mechanic. At the present stage Of
the work it Is impossible to tell what It Will
look like when completed, as oil that Is
being done Is laying the foundations and
driving down piles. Nine hundred and fifty
OF these have already been dtiven, and thir-
ty-one hundred Of them will be required Re
fore the work Is completed. As soon as tbs
foundations have been completed, the build
ings Will be commenced on them for the

A Little Girls Appeal to the Presi'

A little girl was engaged, with others
in raising money by small contributions to
liouidate the debt Of one OF the small
churches near Trenton, N. j, and prize
was to be given to the girl that raised the
largest amount. She succeeded well, but
learned that one little girl had raised a
triae more than she had. and, after all, she
was likely to lose the prize. In thinking
over the matter the idea occurred to her to
write to Gen. Grant to help her out The
Trenton Gazette says that she did 80, and,
to her Joy, the President answered the let
ter ana inclosed the sum Of IS, and gave
her besides, some excellent advice. The
clild was as much pleased in receiving q
letter from Gen. Grant as she was to get.

area, ore curiosity. Everybody wanted to zee

H. then charged a quarter of dollar to see it..
In this way some fifteen or twent9 dollars
were x realized, all Of which was paid to the
Hamilton Avenue Church, for which the

THE IM1TAToRs OF GREESBACKs

THEY LODGE IN NEW CAsTLE-THE Pres
PEST OF THEIR STAYING VERY FINE
NEW AND STRONG EVIDENCE AGAINST
THEM.
When Hallaham, Ford d Co., New York
were arrested in this city last week at the
instance of Collector Prettyman, charged
with distributing advertising cards in close
imitation Of certain notes of the United
States, there was considerable sympathy
for them, as it was at that time believed
they were the dupes Of some experienced
counterfeiter in New York. Such sympa-
thies have now given way to the strongest
convictions that they are not so innocent al
was thought. Mr. Prettyman stated to .
representative Of The HERALD yesterday,
that these men had written to the party In
New York whom they said furnished them
with the notes and no answer had come and
furthermore there was no likelihood of any
coming. 1t there was any prospect Of their
coming to relieve them they would certatn-
ly have done SO before this. Another strong
point against them is that they were in
Chester and disposed Of quantity Of the
material there, under different names to
those which they gave when arrested here.
In Chester they also made contracts with
business firms to furnish none but them,
and IN two or three instances violated these
contracts. In Wilmington 1t will DO recol-
lected that they did precisely the came
thing.
Another point against them, Mr.. Pretty
man says, is the one that when they were
arrested they were at the depot endeavor-
ing to take the train for Washington The
prisoners even now admitted themselves
Shat they were cautioned by the party IN
New York from whom they obtained the
article, that they must avoid all large cities,
they were not very good ground to work IN.
This is evidence plain enough that they
knew the penalty attending the traffic in
Which they were engaged. The evidence
against them Is growing stronger day by
lay, and 1t is thought that their chances Of
residing at New Castle for 9 time is very
bright.
Inc notes circulated are Of the denomina-
tion Of note known as Is notes IN exact
tac simile, with the exception Of their
having the figure three instead Of five, and
the absence of signatures. The numbers,
date of issue and seal and portrait are ex-
act counterfeits Of the genuine. The back
Of the note is an excellent imitation Of q
$40 sill United States currency with the ex-
ception Of blank space being left on the
back for an advertisement. The shield on
the note has the words, "Novelty Adver-
tising Company, publishers, Peoria, Ills"
From this place the collector says more
counterfeit money was issued than any other,
and these very limitations which have caused
the arrest of the men Low in New Castle
NAV have been made by party Of counter
feiters in Illinois that have an excellent
counterfeit plate Of q 81 note.

ADVANTAGE OF THEM-THE LAST VIC
TIM.
Yesterday morning, anaged man, wearing
silver spectacles, and his hair combed per-
pendicu]arly, entered the Mayors Office and
laid his complaint before Chief 'Toole. He
had walked all the way from the foot Of
Breck's Lane, where he lived, and carried
ou shoemaking under the Sign Of Dayton

before yesterday there came to his house, a
neat, modest and rather pretty young
woman, who asked to engage board. She
was attiretl In slate colored silk, and her
face was partly bi lden by green veil.
John Mcllwain, thought 1t strange that q
person of such fine appearance should wish
board out IN that locality, and he so
expressed himself to her.
1t was then that she told him In melting
tones that her name was Elizabeth Davis,
that her home was in Newark, Del, that
her people had become suddenly reduced in
circumstances, all resources had gone, and
she had started out to earn her own living
at anything lat could be obtained, For
tune had ia cred her, and she had obtained
a position in the big mill near by, known as
the Henry Clay mill, aud if he would only
give her board she would be SO happy.
Mr. McIlwain and his lady were % touch
ed by her story they bade her come in and
dry her eyes. She pleaded sickness for not
going TO work the day after her arrival and
yesterday morning the fair creature was no.
where to be seen. Strange 10 say that with
her had zone Mr., McIlw aims best umbrella,
his wlo's gaiters and cut of
his pants pockets had been c1-
tractcl eight dollars in currency. This was
what brought Mr.. Mcllwain to the city yes
terday 10 zee Chief O'Toolc, who informed
him that this woman had figured before in
Wilmington as confidence boarding house
thief, having robbed family in Bird street,
in the same way, of quite large amount.

Chief. every well,' said Nj. McIlwaiu,
