Embarrassment of j. winslow Jones 81
Co.

Two years ago the firm of j. Winslow Jones
& Co., limited, was organized under English
laws, and the assets placed at $25o,0O0, which
with good will, Winslow labels and trade
marks made the total assets $299.0O0. At that
time J. Winslow Jones had fifteen corn and
five lobster factories located in Deering, Var
mouth, Mechanic Falls, Wilton, Farm
ington, Fairfield, Bridgton. Boothbay, Car
ver's Harbor, Brooklyn, Millbridge and Cam
den. Since then Mr.. Jones has built two fac
tories on the coast of Nova Scotia, one on
Prince Edwards Island. five in New Bruins
wick, three on the bay Of Chaleur and three
on the Magdalen Islands. making in all, in this
state and the provinces, nineteen lobster fac
tories. He built new corn factories in Hiram,
Raymond, Norway, Buckfeld, Canton, Show
hogan, West Waterville and North Anson.
These last have been nearly paid for and are
not mortgaged.
When the new company organized mortgage
bonds to the amount of $4,000 were placed
and are outstanding. Yesterday morning the
company failed. The failure is due to lack
of cash capital, Mr.. Jones putting profits into
the new factories. The company put. $50, 900 into
these, manufactured $4,000 worth more cans
than they could use and have large amount
of canned pumpkin which they cannot sell. If
the company had stopped two months ago it
would have been better for all concerned. Mr.
Jones lately paid out $4,000 which should
have gone into the assets SO it is said. The
greatest misfortune about the affair will be the
loss of the farmers, who have planted corn,
have not received their pay and now probably
will get but small portion. There are many
of them. 1t would also seem SO large bust
ness ought not to be allowed to go out of exis-
tence.
The total indebtedness is 800, 900 in accounts
and $4,000 in business paper, the latter being
wholly unsecured
The failure was precipitated by New York
and Boston parties. o. II. Dudley & Co. of
New York sue for $4,000. There are attach
ments in favor of Samuel May & Co. of Bos-
ton for about $4,000. A mortgage for $4,000
has been recorded in favor of 81. X. Furber &
Co. of New York, and one for $4,000 in favor
of the First National Bank of Portland These
were recently given to enable the company 10
keep its head above water if possible. The
First National Bank has quite large contin-
gent liability. having endorsed considerable
business paper for the firm, but the bank is en-
tirely secured. The creditors include some of
the most responsible firms of Portland, but no
one is involved for very heavy amount.

Another Railroad Accident.

Yesterday morning the regular passenger
train on the Maine Central which leaves for
Augusta and intermediate stations at Z o'clock
was moving away from the station, drawn by
engine No. 1, the Ogdensburg locomotive Car
rigan started out to shift freight cars The
Maine Central train had the right of way, the
ball SO indicating at the signal station. The
two tracks intersect each other at a sharp
angle, and the engines were moving towards
the junction. One story is that the engineer
of the Carrigan, or rather the acting engineer,
Frank Shackley, thought he was all right until
he saw he should collide with the Maine Cen
trail train and then he reversed his engine, but
too late. Another is that the brakeman on the
Carrigan was a new man and did not under
stand the working of the switch and sent the
Ogdensburg engine on the Maine Central
track. The result was the two engines were
run directly together. Both engines were
thrown violently from the track. No one was
injured except Mr.. Shackley, who lives on
Vaughn street in this city. He was thrown
through window and so severely bruised that
he had to be carried home in hack. The To-
comotiyes were damaged about $1,000 each.

Street Numbers,

Many of the people have not placed the
official number upon their houses. SO that on
many of the streets the same number occurs
twice, and renders it very confusing and i'm
possible to make proper record. Every citi-
zen should have public spirit enough after the
city government has been to the great expense
to have every street surveyed and every 20 feet
of land numbered to get the right number and
put it on. Once done in this way, it is done
forever; and there can be no change as the
numbers do not regard the houses on the street
but the land. The official numbering is the
only one that can be recognized, and if mail
matter is not promptly received OF not received
at all, it will be the fault of the person who
does not get his number from the city civil
engineers Office and afix it to his residence.
1t is especially necessary that the Portland
Directory has the right mum bers recorded.

DISPARITY IN AGES.

The old man who marries young girl
does not do very wise thing, and his bride
risks her happiness and often loses it. But
there is certain beauty IN the admiring
protection of the husband, and, whatever
her disappointment may be, in nine cases
out of ten she keeps her own secret. Her
romance may be dormant, but affection is
very strong in woman, and she may be
fond and proud of very old man who re.
tains his faculties and his emotions, and
loves her well. But of the old woman who
marries boy, what can we say, what
can we think? In such union there
can be neither dignity nor beauty.
The mans motive is usually a mer-
cenary one, and the woman is simply his
dupe. The clergyman who performs the
the friends who go to the church to see
them married feel it acuteiy. The con-
gratulations are hollow and forced. Even
where an old woman's lingering beauty has
temporarily captivated youth, the lockers
on can feel nothing but sorrow-the infatu-
alton must be SO brief, the rebound 30 ter.
rible. Mans love is often SO light thing,
even when youth and beauty rivet it A
wife has often as much to suffer even where
she has chosen wisely. The contempt one
cannot help feeling for the woman who
barters her freedom, the scorn one must
cherish for man who sells himself for for
tune, are scarcely go strong as the pity that
arises for two bound together for life under
such circumstances as to make even ordi-
nary contentment an utter impossibility.

Yesterday to John r. Simons, who was sen.

Modoc county, on the 9TH of last May. The
jury which tried the case was given the fol-

killing of the other was absolutely nee
essary; and it must appear also that
the person killed was the assailant,
or that the slayer had really and in good faith
endeavored to decline any further struggle
before the mortal blow was given. To justify
the defendant in killing the deceased it is not
absolutely necessary that the defendant
should have believed his own life in danger.
But it will be sufficient if the circumstances
were such as to justify the defendant, as a
reasonable man. in believing that the de-
ceased was about to commit felony; and
that it was necessary to take his life to pre-.
vent tie commission of such felony; and that
if the defendant did SO believe and acted
under such belief solely" Justice Sharp

good faith endeavored to decline any further
struggle before the homicide was committed,
