ANOTHER IRON FAILURE.
Suspension of the Bay State Iron Company
with Liabilities of Three Quarters
of a Million.

BosToN, Feb 12-The rumored suspension
of the Bay State Iron Company is confirmed.
The cause of the trouble is the depression in
the iron trade and limited capital. A previ-
Gus embarrassment, five years ago, the conf
pany tided over with outside assistance. The
company has bonds issued on its property
for 100000, and owes besides 100000. A
statement of the exact condition of affairs
will be submitted to creditors tomorrow.
The company has on hand large stock and
is running factories in South Boston and
Port Henry, N. Y. The company employs
between 400 ana 500 men. Neither factory,
it is expected will be shut down
until the stock is all worked
off, and perhaps not at all. The firm has
been borrowing money on Western railway
bonds. A recent decision of a Western
court gives precedence as liens on roads to
bonds held by States over those held by per-
sons or corporations. In view of this, the
banks here which have been loaning on these
bonds declined to continue to do so. The
company's officers then called upon the stock
holders 10 help them out but they refused
any money, thinking it better to close up
and sell out, especially as it was understood

showed liabilities of $650,000, while the
quick assets were $450000. The plant, how
ever, is worth 81 ,000000 and j. Avery Rich

CALKINS AND BROWNE.
Similarity in Their Attitude on the Tariff
Question.


Question.
Special to the Indianapolis journal
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12-lndiana people iD
Washington are doing a good deal OF gossip
ing over the supposed alliance between Rep
resentatves Calkins and Browne They are
disposed to regard the speeches made by
these gentlemen on the tariff issue, the other
day, as the platforms on which they want to
stand next year. The speeches, it will be
remembered were very much alike in
spirit and in matter. Both geatlem en-
broke squarely away from the high protec-
tive tariff idea and declared in favor of
the middle course. They are for protecting
American labor by putting duty on ths
products of foreign nations equal to the dif.
ference in wages paid, They arrayed thenr
selves against excessive duties for the protee.
ton of special industries as hurtful to
American labor instead of being a benefit
THE arguments" said an Indiana politician,
'are believed by Messrs Calklns and Browne
to be what the agricultural classes want and
what the artisan classes will stand The
great establishments in northern, eastern and
central Indiana, devoted to the manufacture OF
agricultural implements of every description
from wagons to hay-rakes, are supposed to
favor a moderate reduction, about OH the
scale suggested by the gentlemen named.
They have joined in the general clamor for a
reduction in taxes, and they know that this
can only be done by a general reduction in
tariff rates"
General Browne has an eye on the Senate,
and Major Calklns openly avows his determi.
nation to run for Governorif if he can get the
nomination. Their utterances on this SUBJ
ject, which may be the leading issue in 1884,
have been carefully weighed. They may not
have formed an alliance. but they certainly
think alike r.le. sa

A Collapse at Chicago.

of the oldest houses in the city,
established for forty years. was seized by the
sheriff, today on a confession of judgment
for So, 900 in favor Of r. NJ. Cherrie. The
failure is attributed to doing large busi-

firm indorsed the paper of the Union Iron

The firm declines to make statement The

Day aud Night of Great Excitement-The
Greatest Flood Ever Known.
CINCINNATI, Feb 12-The river, at IL A. NJ,
has reached sixty-three feet five inches, and
has risen two inches in the past three hours
Barges are being run along Second street to
relieve the wants of the people living there.
The current on Front street is so rapid as to
make navigation dangerous, The suffering
among the people in the flooded part OF the
city is unavoidable. The suspension bridge
cannot be reached at all except by boats,
and the Newport bridge is also inaccessible
except by boats or wagons. No organized
effort has yet been made to relieve sufferers,
but something must be done soon or loss of
life will be inevitable
Specials to the Times-Star from points
above indicate that the rise will continue
here, probably till tomorrow. The river is
falling at Marietta, but rising above there
At Maysville the water is rising an inch an
hour. Large quantities of whisky -four and
other property are overfiowed there
There is no change in the situation of the
railroads. The Cincinnati, Hamilton & Day
ton is under water near Brighton, but trains
arrived and went out this forenoon. The
Little Miami railway is virtually blockaded
at Batavia Junction, q Jew miles out by the
track being under water. There is no news
this forenoon from Lawrenceburg, Ind, and
the worst is feared there, as the town is iso-
lated.
