FOURTH EDITION,


ASDSe~OU
BOSTON, July 30-The Journal says !:
T. Shaw & Brothers, the large.t tanners
in the world, made an assignment to-
day TO +. A. Wyoman. They were
creditors TO Charles w. Copeland Il Co.
to the amount of S3O0,OOO The 6rst
news OF the embarrassment on the
street came from the return Of the firm $
checks from the Clearing House, en-
lorseal, "No funds" One hours time
after the regular settlement hour was
asked and granted, but though the
funds at hand almost sufficed to cancel
immediate obligations, it was found to
be impossible to permanently tide over
the Arm q embarrassment.
The liabilities OF F. Shaw & Co. are
stated by counsel Of the firm to be
81, 800, 600, and the nominal assets
900, 600. The assets include tanneries
in Northern Maine, New York, New
Brunswick and Quebec, and one and Q
half million acres of land in Maine.
There were from 10000 to 1900 people
employed by the concern. The imme-
diate cause of the failure was the sus-
pension of Copeland " Co., who owe
the Shaw Brothers $500, 600. The failure
can be traced to the suspension of the
Pacific Bank, a year ago. The Shaw
Brothers at the time the bank collapsed
held a number of shoe and leather
firms above water and have been carry
ing them ever since, and those firms
will probably be heard from in a few
days.

The Last Day.

As this is the last day allowed by law
to register with the Board ofPharmacy,
all unregistered druggists on and after
to morrow will be liable to a fine Of
$50 to 800 for each week they con-
duct their business without registering.
Blank applications have been sent to
every druggist in towns of over 800 in
habitants, and about three out of four
have filled them up and made returns.
There are number OF applicants for
examination, which cannot be attended
to for several weeks, as the Board has
other business on hand that must be al
tended to Immediately. The new law
seems to be- having good effect. as it
is stated that many proprietors of drug
stores have signitied their inten ion OF
not employing any one as a clerk who
is not graduate of the College OF
Pharmacy, or has not passed IN ex-
animation before the Board.

LONDON, July 3O.-Intelligence has
just been received here that james

pensive measures to protect Carey.

ing under the name of Power. He EN-
barked at Dartmouth. From Madeira
he wrote letter to the authorities, in
which he described the voyage, and
said he had shared in conversation in
which the Invincibles and "the mis-
creant Carey" were especially de-
nounced. He said he intended to forget
that Ireland ever existed.
The Daily Telegraph says
The Govern ment have little doubt
that Carey was followed from Dublin.

most elaborate measu es to prevent his
escape. According to the latest
accounts the murder occurred
at sea. Carey was not killed
outright, but died shortly after
he was shot. O'Donnell surrendered
himself quietly. He was placed in
