DULUTH, April 13.-The much talked Of
Paige-Sexsmith Lumber company's assign
ment was effected to-day satisfactorily to
all creditors, the assignees being Leander
Choate and Mr.. Lusk, OF Oshkosh, Wis, and
d. NJ. Peyton, of Duluth. The men who
have been employed in their numerous
lumber camps this winter will be paid
next week.
NEW YORK, April 13.-The business fail
ures the past seven days as reported by R.
g. Dun & Co.'s mercantile agency number
189, as against 1877 last week and 182 the
week previous, distributed as follows: New
England states, IA; Western, so; Middle,
26; Southern. Al; Pacific states and terrific
ries, 10; New York city II, and Canada, SO.
Total, 189.
EVANSVILLE, Ind, April 13.-EIlis d
Kraush, millers and grain dealers, failed
here to-day. Liabilities about $65, 900 and
assets $4,000. The largest creditor is ex-
Congressman Heilman, to whom the firm
owed for endorsements and loans about
$4,000. They have transferred to He'll
man their mill and its contents and ma
chinery, books, ETC., and given him a mort
gage of all they possess, for a considera-
creditors may get nothing. The firm has
been an important factor in the gram
trade here and its operations extensive
and varied. During the past
year they have made large
shipments of -four to Manchester, Liver
pool, London, in England, and Rotterdam
and Amsterdam, in the Netherlands.
While this continental trade has not been
unsuccessful it has placed the available
assets beyond their ready control, whichs
coupled with trade in the Southern states
lent by them, cramped and pressed them
to these courses mainly, and TO the losses
sustained by backward collections and
business disasters they have fallen into
their present trouble. This is the first
failure of any Importance in Evansville
for fifteen months past, and other com
mercial interests never seemed more pros
porous than at the present time. The
failure is not attributed to local causes
but to circumstances outside the general
scope of the commercial province of
Evansville.

NEW YORK, April ia short lived and
ineffective drive at the Wabashes, forcing
the preferred to 514 and the common
down per cent. was about the only dam
age the bears could infiict this morning.
The recovery was rapid, and there was a
good demand for such stocks as the North
western, Delaware & Lackawanna, st.
Paul, Lake Shore, and Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy. The latter advanced very
easily to 1898 and the Northwestern to
40. Later in the day a weakness in
Union Pacific with indications of pretty
free selling caused weakness and decline
in almost everything. Money also became
somewhat dearer, and in the closing half
hour there were signs of considerable
realizing, as though the advance of the
past few days was causing some unloading
of stocks by the clique. This may con-
tinue tomorrow, it being the end of the
week. Pullman rose to 125 and Northwestern
preferred sold at 157. Manitoba declared
2 per cent. cash dividend and an extra
so per cent. in consolidated mortgage
bonds, requiring payment of SO in cash
on the amount of bonds received at par.

WRECKED AND On FIRE.
Locomotive Crashes Into Railroad
Passenger Gar.


AS the southwest train was approaching
Lemont furnace station, four miles north
Uniontown, Saturday, it was run into by a
small engine belonging to the furnace
company. The engine was pushing two
cars of coke up TO the furnace. The regu
ular engineer Of the little furnace donkey
was not on duty, and the engine was
manned by young man who seems TO
have known nothing about his business,
and who ran his machine at rapid rate
toward the crossing.
When he saw that q collision was newt
able unless he checked up, instead of STAY
ing at his post and stopping his engine, as
the passengers say he could have done, he
reversed the brakes and leaped off. The
donkey engine bounded forward, broke loose
from the coke cars and flew around the
curve to where II crosses the railroad
track second time, and went crashing
into the middle car Of tho passenger train
at furious rate, wrecking it aud setting
it on fire.
There were eighteen persons in the car.
and the scene was irightful. Men, women
and children were knocked out of their
seats in every direction, and few ESCAPED
being mangled, bruised or scalded. The
car was almost instantly wrapped 10 flames,

The Ohio Kepublicans

One OF the most remarkable causes
ascribed for the defeat of the Republi.
can party in Ohio is that Garfeld's s
friends meant to serve notice upon the
party OF their slain chief that they did
not want the man whom Edmunds said
drew a prize in the lottery of assassina-
tion" to be elected his successor. This
Is far fetched indeed. When John Sber
man gave out that if Ohio went
Republican an Ohio Republican would
be the next nominee of his party for
president, certainly he did not make
Arthur's candidacy the issue of the
campaign. No such idea entered into it
at all, and as for Garfield he seems TO be
utterly forgotten. His name was no tails
man In the Ohio campaign: IL is
scarcely whispered even in Cleveland
and then not always with respect, sad to
say-although Cayhuga county holds
his home and his grave. His memory
Is no influence at all in Ohio politics,
unless 1t be supposed that the friends of
John Sherman cherish the notion that
Foster and Garfield betrayed him at
Chicago aud now when Fosters for.
tunes were at stake Sherman's friends
gave him the knife. But this is not
likely. For the occasion Foster and
Sherman were in the same boat they

men who planned and executed the elec.
toral fraud, and when he got q cabinet
place as the reward of his villainy, he
prostituted 1t to make himself president
only to be betrayed by the Garfield plot.
ters as Wharton Barker's revelations
have made plain, Foster is coarse,
common fellow, with money and little
brains, less character and no principle.
He has involved his party in no end Of
trouble by experiments with liquor legis-
lation, and the more he tries to lift IL
out the quagmire the deeper he gets in.
He has, apparently, run his race. Sher.
