Two More Large New York Firms Go

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-Bomann & Won
Bemuth, importers of zephyr worsteds
and ladies' dress trimmings, made an as
signment to-day to Frederick A. Won Be-
muth, with preferences amounting to
$74,525. Among the preferred creditors
are the North Deutscher Bank of Ham,
burg for $4,000. A member of the firm
says that the cause of the failure
was the dullness of the market,
owing to the prevailing fashions, which
are very much against their line OF manu-
features. The liabilities are about $780,
900, and the stock will sell at auction for
$135,0O0. The principal creditors of the
firm are German houses, from whom the
imported stock was bought,

IN THR SENATE.

In the Senate this morning prayer was
offered by the new Chaplain. After the
reading of the journal number of pe-
titiOns and memorials were presented and
several bills were introduced.

Mr.. Frye withdrew his call for the yeas
and nays on the clause of the first rule.
relating to the three-day limitation, on the
authority of the Vice Presidents substi-
stitute. The clause was then voted on.
and was rejected, leaving the rule about
as it has been heretofore, but when the
rule comes up in the Senate, when not in
committee of the whole, the subject NAV
be again brought up.
The second rule, providing that the
Senate may elect Secretary. Chief Clerk.
ETC., was then read. Mr.. Frye said that this
simply formulates into a rule what has
heretOiol been the practice of the Senate
these officers having heretofore been
elected without formal rule. After de-
bate this rule was disagreed to. Several
of the new rules were then agreed
TO after a few verbal amendments.
The clause of the fifteenth rule gave
rise to considerable debate, in which
Messrs. Bayard, Beck, Mcpherson.
Sherman, Ingalls, and Jones of Florida
participated. 1t reads as follows: 'sEv-
cry resolution of inquiry addressed to the
President of the United States or to the
heads of the departments shall, if objected
to, be referred to the committee having
jurisdiction of the subject matter of such
resolution. Said committee shall report
thereon within one week thereafter,
and said resolutions shall be in order for
consideration when reported" The clause
was rejected.
A message was received from the House
embodying the concurrent resolution
passed by that body to the effect that
when Congress adjourns on Monday next

DEATH OF A NOTED NOVELIST.
The Man whose Works fastened the
Ltberations OF the Serfs,

New YORK, September 5.-The death is
announced in a dispatch from BangWa!,
France, of Ivan Sergyyeeyich Tourgueneff,
the famous Russian novelist, who has been
i'll for wears and whose death has been ex-
pected by his friends for several months.
His name will 90 down to posterity as the
man whose vivid pictures OF serfdom IN all
its gaunt misery influenced the Gar Alex
ander and ultimately procured the emanGl'
patton OF the serfs. Alexander would only
admit that TourguenefFs words hastened
the great work, but there is no doubt that ms
mastery and pathetic narrative was the
moving power rthatbrought about the desired
end. Like many other Russian writer's who
dared to lift up their voices against des-
potism, Tourgueneff did not find favor
with his imperial master. Banlshment
was more than once his lot. But in exile
words of gratitude from an enslaved race
whom he had set free did much to mlt-
gate the grief OF enforced absence from his
native land. He took up his abode IN
Paris. and there the last years OF his lie
were spent. He was fine LOOKING man
with magnificent high forehead and 6Iue
eyes, His tendencies were arustic. his
disposition benevolent. He made many
friends. Americans he appreciated, and IN
turn his mind has stamped itself on some
of our ablest literary men. In TINS coun'
try his writings are highly valued.
hater Of despotism, his sympathies went
out to the freedom OF the United
States and he admired our authors and
took deep interest in our country'S prog
reSS.

GAMBLERS LUCK.
''Dink- DAVIS Has n Turn OF HI Luck
nj COney Island.

New YoRK, September 5. "A few days
ago 'Dink" Davis, who won $S0.0 900 in this
city last spring, bought share in faro
same at the Jumbo Hotel, Coney Island,
and on Sunday began game at P. NJ,
with gamblers from Saratoga and Philadel-
phia. "DInk" dealt for two hours, most
Of the time on the lookout" seat.
II was a very heavy game, and lasted till
O'Clock Monday morning. Then the
dealer pulled out the drawer and saw 1t
was empty. Placing the drawer upside
down on the table he exclaimed: The
iig is up; the bank is bustedm Dink and
his partner had lost over 5000, though at
one lime they were 5000 ahead. Phila-
delphia men were the winners. A young
sport from the West lost $1,000 at the
game. The suspension, however, was only
temporary. On Monday night the game
was resumed, and this evening 1t was IN
full operation. The news that the limit on
bets had been raised attracted all the heavy
gamblers, and fully $40, 600 changed hands
tonight. Sunday night bet of 500 was
laid on the turn OF q card. "Dlnk told
friend to-day that he had never had such a
run of ill.luck, and that he proposed TO
sink all the money he had OF retrieve his
losses. He had narrowly escaped being
lypched in Arkansas, and was under bonds
in st. Louis, and did not propose to ac-

AN AMALGAMATl0N A
OF the Bankers and Merchants, the
Southern and the Rapid Telegraph
COmpanIes.


New YORK, September THE amalga-
nation OF the Bankers and Merchants, the
Southern and the American Rapid Tele-
graph Companies, If the present plan is
carried out, will be completed this week:
The same persons who control the Bankers
and Merchants and the Southern have ar
ranged 10 purchase a majority OF the
stock Of the Rapid. Nothing remains to
be done but to transfer the stock to the
persons who have bargained for it. y gen.
tleman who took part in the transaction
said that majority OF the stock OF both
the Bankers and Merchants and the
southern, which now operate as one sys'
ten, was lodged in the name of Mr.. y. W.
DimOCk, the President Of the former COM
pany. The intention was to put the ma
iUri;y OF the stock of the Rapid about to be
purchased in Mr.. DimoCk's hands also. In
that way the consolidation OF the three
would be practical although not
actual. The Bakers and Merchants on
Saturday began operating under contract
with the Beltimore and Ohio, which has
lines running from New York to Chicago
ST. Louis, and other important pointi. 1t
has taken great deal OF business from the
Western Union, and if it keeps on expand
ing, will prove a formidable competitor.
The Bankers and Merchants was built on
a cash basis and for that reason is better
able to cope with its powerful rival than
many otter capitalized companies which
hBve been organized to compete with 1t.
