Eighth district, which includes PhiIadel-
phia and vicinity, delivered the address
OF welcome, to which President Jarrett
replied. He spoke hopefully of the pros
poets OF the society, and, alluding to the
strlke at Bethlehem. expressed his hope
that victory would soon be won by the
strikers.
After his address, he introduced p. j.
Mcclure, of New York, General Secretary

ton. Mr.. Mcclure spoke at some length.

posed to be heavy. The concern stood
well, and was considered to be worth from
$4,000 to $4,000. The failure causes
much surprise in the trade.
AS regards the liabilities nothing is vet
dehnltely known, but those conversant

upon as due in great part to the general
feeling of distrust now prevalent in mer-
camille communities.
VIM. b. FOwle, Treasurer of the Auburn

liabilities are now supposed to be small.
although nothing definite has vet been

involve the Auburndale Watch Company,
whose liabilities, it is thought, will far
exceed the assets.

A Mistake.

If President Arthur's friends really had
any idea of renominating him they made
a serious mistake in publishing the wine
list of the Yellowstone excursion. There
are thousands of worthy people in Ohio
who will hear with astonishment and
horror that the Presidential palace car
fitted up with a wine department, and
New England will stand appalled, at the
specific news that six cases of cham
pagne, three cases of Rhine wine. four
gallons of old Bourbon, three of old cognac
and five of Bordeaux wines were put
aboard. Nothing that our estimabIe Ex-
ecutive will now do will ever eradicate
the undying impression that he intended
to drink all this stuff himself. The late
and aDstemious Mr.. Hayes will cut this
paragraph out and carry it in his hat as
a silent feather and sly reproach.
