BUSINESS TROUBLES.
A,.otI.er Boston LeotheI. Firm, Tuu,b7.

Aa0tIter BOStoH Leat!ter Firm Tmns6Ges.
BOSTON, Aug. 4.-The announcement
viii be made i'll the morning that the large
shoe and leather firm of Henry, Whittier
u Wyman, doing business on Federal
street, has failed with liabilities of S5OO.OOO.
The suspension, it is stated, was not brought
about by the recent heavy failures in that
line OF goods, but due entirely to other
causes.
The firm were sole leather tanners and
dealers in upper leather at 27S Purchase
street, and made an assignment of their
property for the benefit OF creditors to
VIM. F. Mullen of the firm of Mullen &
Brown. The failure became known to but
very few persons on Saturday and the
announcement will be a surprise, not onIv
to the general public but to the greater
part of the shoe and leather trade. The
firm have as branches Hersey & Co., tan
ners of Moose River, n. Y, and Geo. M,
Botchford, tanner of GlensdaIe, N. Y, and
all three concerns go down together. The
Moose River branch consists of Mr.. Her
seY and Mr.. Wyman, and the Glensdale
branch of Rotchford & Hersey. The firm
have done large business both in the sale
OF leather and in wax and kip, and the
combined liabilities of the main and
branch houses aggregate $50O00O The
Indebtedness is almost entirely to the
banks, very few notes having been given
Tor merchandise. The assets are large.
and the failure, the firm states, is due to
the refusal OF the banks, on account Of the
feeling of distrust which at present prevails
IN reference to the shoe and leather trade,
to take the firms paper as literally as
th9y have been accustomed The Fl rro gro

Natlck, boot and shoe manufacturer, is a
special partner for 100000 until Febru
ary 26, 1885. The firm have been consid-
cred worth 100000 or 100000, and It's
failure will tenl to check the restoration
OF confidence which had begun to take the
place OF cistrust, induced by the Shaw
failure, and those growing out OF it.

BOSTON, Aug. AT meeting of the
creditors of F. Shaw & Bros. firm it was
stated that the liabilities including accom-
paper and everything that could
come under the head of indebtedness, were
81, 900 with assets of $1,00O,O00, nearly
all of which is Immediately convertible.
The failure is laid to the fact that the
house found its paper hard to negotiate,
and chose this means of righting its
.ffairs.

that region, rather stylish people, and

placed there for that purpose.

During that time tremendous sum

April spots. was advancing from the
edge Of the disk to the center. In this
country the principal auroral displays
were ON the nights of the 18th and 10Th,
and the chief force of the magnetic
storm was felt on the 18th. On that
day storm of rain and snow prevailed
over most of the Union, and simultan-
eously with this storm there ragged q
hurricane of magnetic forces. The Of
fects were similar to those witnessed
during tho April storm, but moro in
tense. As In April, some wires were
worked without batteries, while others
could not be worked ut all. Cable COM
munication was interrupted. Some
startling phenomena occurred. Sparks
of fire leaped from the wires and in
struments. In the West, switch-boards
were burned and keys melted. Opera
tors received severe shocks. Practical
telegraph men said they had never
known such powerful disturbance Of
the magnetic elements. In the heevening,
when the sky cleared at Chicago. emost
magnificent sight was beheld In tho
heavens. The brilliancy of the aurora
far exceeded that Of the April display.
A singular feature of the aurora,
which was also noticed in Europe, was
a splendid luminous arch spanning the
sky from east to west, and passing
nearly through the zenith. Another
feature that added brilliancy to the spec
tacle was the variety of color visible.
The prevailing tints were rose-color and
green, but in some places streamers and
patches Of violet. yellow and orange
light were seen. On the night OF the
18th and morning of the Goth, the sky
having cleared here, splendid aurora
was seen in New York. The magnetic
disturbance also continued. '.Receut

The PantheYs Lean

A gentleman of truth said this to mei
II was In Canada some years sinca.
The family had Just finished tho usual
slaughter of hogs and beef, and had
hung the beef against pile of lumber
to cool off or freeze. A catamount (the
Indian name In New England) crept out
In the night TO get piece. In pulling
down the quarter of beef he upset the
pile OF lumber. which came down with
o frighttul noise, and he made three tre-
mendous leaps from the spot I saw
the tracks in the snow; there was not a
mark between them. did not meas
ure the distance myself, but man did,
and believe correctly. The frst jump
WAS uphill, thirty feet; the second hor-
izontal to large rock, fifty-four feet;
the third, down hill, seventy-two feet"
A leap Of thirty feet perpendicular to
the branch of tree, or forty foot
plunge after fatal shot, and falling
dead almost at the hunters feet have
been repeated until the veracity Is not
questioned, and after making all posi-
bic allowance, we must acknowledge
there Is not creature living whose loap

coiled wire spring This spring, press-
ed down on base and liberated, leaps
ahead further than any other form. The
reason is very simple. Every move
ment of substance must start from a
base, unless moved by an outside force.
The coiled wire spring, when pressed
down, becomes solid mass its en-
tire length. When let loose, the first
turn jumps from its base, which Is
the second; the second adds its force to
the first, jumping from the third, and
so in succession to the last, which adds
its force after the whole coil is flying
from the outside base of all. And this
is precisely the case in the panther's
leap. The forelegs and head are shot
forward from the shoulders, the power

Last week an itinerant photographer
of this city brought up in small town
In New Jersey. and at once proceeded

asked the lady of the house If he could
take q view of her house. ''Don't want
any views. You couldn't take view

perfect his machine was for instantane-
Gus views, but the woman refused to
listen to him. He then went to the next
house, and there got an order for view.
When he began to arrange his instru-
ment the woman No. 1 came over, her
curiosity getting the better of her, and
the lady whose house was to be taken
invited her to stand in the front yard to
help form group. Woman No. was
so afraid that her new silk dress

just as the woman fell from the top of
the ladder on to the fence and caught
her foot between the pickets. She
hung there all through the exposure of
the plate, and the photographer. un-
needing her cries for help, proceeded to
develop the negative. He found
splendid picture of woman hanging
head down from picket fence. The
woman by this time had got loose from
the fence, and asked to have look at
the plate, when she almost tainted

on the photographer, and paid him $50

the Chicago Herald. While a white

the old-time locomotives, friend ap-
preached and introduced another old
man, when. to the astonishment of the
spectators, both mechanics fell upon
each others necks and nearly wept.
Such hand shaking and holding off

explained that they had worked togeth-

identical locomotive. Then they sat
down on bench and for some time re-
galed each other and all those about
them with memories of early railroading
in Pennsylvania They asked for old
acquaintances, long dead, or old tod
dlers like themselves, and told of the es-
capes they had had from death at the
switch or by the broken rail and bridge.

them said: "Why, you overgrown boys,
