"rhe sweet things! And you have
such sunsets out in your mountain
iastenesses, and such loves Of highway
men! Do you ever see those delightful
hiehwaymen?"
"Not often, mum. They get in the
brush, and, as for sunsets, We get 'em
pretty reg'lar in fair weather"
Isn't it just too awfuliy too" ex.
claimed the girl, clashing her hands and
rolling her eyes.

"0h! how radiant! How iridescent"
"Yes, mum, and he began to radiate

aud three furlong minute. We see him
a-a-uttering down the side OF the

tapped out Of her setback and began TO

"Poor Lily" moaned the girl; "did

"No, mum, not quite. Duffy fetched

UP THE SPECULATIVE
SPOUT.
An Old Firm Suspend With LA
bilities Amounting to a Mil

hOus
PHILADxirHIA, October ll.-An an
nouleemert was made after banking
hours this afternoon thar the firm Of
Washingpn Butchers Sons, whole
sale provision dealers, No. l40 North
Front street, have been unable to meet
their liabilities and forced to suspend.
Inquiry established the correctness of
she announcement, and it was officially
stated that the liabilities, from the pres
enl est late, would reach one Million
The firm, it was reported, has been en-.
gagged in large speculstions in grain, and
it ls understood had long outstanding
account in the Chicago market. I'm
I'll the books eau be examin-
ed and full investigation
of accounts made, no more definite state
ment can be made. The report Of the
failure created a decided sensation when
Il reached the street, and 1t was dec!ar-
ed that this was one OF the ruinous
effects OF the grain corner and others
would speedily follow. A member OF
the firm stated this afternoon that the
failure was the result Of speculstions in
wheat and corn in Chicago. A draft
from the Chicago house lor SIS 900
reached the firm this morning, and was
declined on account of the compl!-
cations Of that branch OF the
firm. In answer to question as to
the nature Of the complications the
same member OF the firm remarked
they have been carrying large holdings
OF grain for customers and that there
was a heavy decline in the market and
this was the cause of the suspension.
ali ali our assets were active. she said,
Eve would be able TO pay 100 cents on
the dollar. As it is, don't think We
shall have to scale our claims more than
ten or possibly twenty per cent. The
principal losers will be ia the East and
West, and in Philadelphia among the
banks. The firm will not suspend busi-
ness, however" The house OF Wash.
ington Butchers Sons was established
one hundred and twenty one years ago,
and the ownership has never departed
rom the Butcher family.

THE NEW YORK FIRE.
Further Particulars of the
Burning Of MOrrell's Store

NEW YORK, October 1.-THE loss by
the burning OF Morrell's storage ware
house and the Vanderbilt car stables, is
now estimated at from two 10 two and q
half millions. Insurance on stables
Sl45,0OO. About two hundred horses
prrished. The following additional
los 'es by the warehouse fire are report.
ed: u. J. Taylor, diamonds and jewelry,
insured for SIC, 1000; General Robert An
derson, furniture and paintings, SIS, 900;
E. G. Hall, trunks with valuables and
furniture, $4,000; Mrs. l.. NJ. Carrere,
furniture and valusbles So, 900, insur-
ed; two valuable oil paintings belonging
to VIM. A. Kattellas' estate were burn
ed. A number OF persons who had
goods on storage exceeded $4,000 OF
loss, and hardly tithe OF these will
ever receive back any property. A
large number OF small private safes, con-
tanning highly priced jewelry, were
packed away on different floors and
were all lost. Eleven cars were run.

stock by officers OF insurance companies
are wired from 81 ,0o0, ,0ooto 81 $50 ,0C0
OF this amount probably not more than
500, 10 or $500, 900 is covered by Insur.
ance. As an instance OF the small
amount OF insurance effected by owners
OF furniture in this building one com.
pany cited the case OF a gentleman who
had given up housekeeping and had
stored his household goods and valu-
ables in the burned building. When
housekeeping he took out q policy on
household goods for $4,000, and upon
the same goods stored in the building,
aud which were all lost, he had only
S., 900 insurance. The burned build
ings used as a warehouse were insured
for 100000.
One OF the fire underwriters said the
total loss will in all probabilities amount
to fully $1,000, 900. Possibly from $500.
900 to 800, 900 worth Of goods stored in
the warehouse were not covered by in
surance. Apparently most OF the owners
regarded the mere deposit OF the goods
in the storage rooms as itself inyurance
on them. To-day the words, absolute
security" which were to be seen ia big
gilt letters upon one OF the windows,
seemed 10 arouse the ire OF heavy losers.
OF 100000 worth Of furs stored not a
piece was saved. The chief anxiety now
among the wealthier depositors seems TO
be concerning the valuts under the
burned building on Thirty-second street.
The roof of the vaults was composed OF
heavy slabs OF blue stone tagging upon
which was a solid concrete floor OF Port.
land cement. The question was wheth-
er the eight inch tagging has been strong
enough to withstand the fall OF the
heavy masses OF brick and stone. The
fire marshal says he WAS surprised to
find by conversing with the insurance
men that they never considered the car
stables as an element OF danger when
placing the risk upon the warehouse.
There were twenty-three engines and
eleven trucks at the fire last night. The
flames we're so intensely hot when the
tiremen were playing on the walls OF
Morrell's warehouse that il Was necess-
sary for other tiremen TO wet them down
