FAILURES IN BUSINESS.
The Number Yesterday Unusually Larg
and the Liabilities Heavy

The Number Yesterday Unusually Large
and the Liabilities Heavy.
PROVIDENCE, Oct. 15.-James Legg &
Co., owners of the Maple mills at Bur-
rifle, makers of fancy cassimeres, have
made an assignment to Joseph Fifeld.
The firm declines to make statement for
publication at present. Dun's agency
estimates the Worcester property to be
worth from $15O,0OO to 5000, 900, and the
liabilities about $500, 900, including mort
cages, mainly held in Boston. Other esti-
mates from private sources are that the
liabilities will not exceed 100000. The
Blackstone and Traders Banks in this
city are said to hold some of the firms
paper, but the amount is not known.
The Iirm has done business under differ
ent names for 20 years or more, and has
an extensive establishment in the village
of Mapleville. In 1881 James Legg, Jr.,
purchased the mill in Worcester of the
Adriatic mill for 800, 900, mOrtgaging it
for $4,000 to James Legg Il Co. Both
mill and machinery were out of repair.
and after eXpending a considerable sum
for new mach merry another mortgage for
$4,000 was taken by Jordan, March & Co.
The property OF the firm of James Legg &
Co., at Mapleville, is understood to be
mortgaged for $4,000 to the Woonsoeket
Institution for savings. In 1879 the pre-
vious firm failed for $4,000, chiefly on ac-
count of drafts accepted on account of
the commission house of WhittemOre,
Peet, Post & Co., OF New York. This
amount was paid in time. In 1888 the
firm declined to make a statement of its
affairs to the Commercial Agency. and as
it was considered to be involved by the
failure Of Geo. Legg Il Co. the preceding
May, its credit was injured.
wOoLEN DEALERS CLOSED.
CHICAGO, Oct. 15.-Heidmeyer &
SteiglitZ, wholesale dealers in woolens,
were closed by the Sheriff to-day to satisfy
a judgment by confession amounting to
$4,000.

will probably reach $3.50, 900. The assets,
it is said, will not exceed half that
amount. The firm was an old one.

AUGUSTA, GA, Oct. ID. Silver &
Co., dealers in clothing, have made an as
signment to B. +. Kohler. The liabilities
are $50, 900, and the assets in stock and
accounts nominally $39, 900.
James G. Bailie & Sons, dealers in car
pets and groceries, to-day made an assign
ment to John Tilkey. The liabilities are
$4,000. The assets in stock, accounts and
real estate equal $4,000 nominally.

Many Threatening Anonymous Letters
Received by the Governor General.
QUEBEC, Oct. 15.-Le Qaottdien says:
"The Marquis OF Lorne, when Governor
General of Canada, received each week
from the United States anonymous letters
full of threats against himself and the
authorities. Let us put together the at
tempt In Quebec last Saturday with those
which occurred at Ottawa last winter,
and at Halifax this spring, and we shall
see that it is the same organization
which is at work. In the month of May
we received from New York several
papers of the Rossa party, and these pub
lished just what has occurred, saying that
members of that party proposed to de-
molish the Parliament buildings in Cana
da, commencing with those in Quebec"
LIE Journal de Quebec says: "What oc-
Cured on Saturday last seems to be the
beginning of the execution of Fenian
projects, against which the authorities at
Ottawa have been on the alert since the
arrival OF the new Cove. nor General"

theory that the act was committed by

BALTIMORE, Oct. 15.-Judge Morris,
sitting as Circuit Judge this morning,
granted a restraining order in the case of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany against the Adams Express Com
pany and its servants and agents in Bal
timore, from refusing to accept such ex-
press parcels as might be delivered bv

pany in the usual course of busi-
ness, and requiring it to pay
"advance charges'' according to the use
and custom between express companies.
and requiring the Adams Express Com
pany to accord all express facilities to
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany and the Baltimore and Ohio Express
Company. Similar iniunctions have been
issued to-day by Judge Brown, acting as
Associate Judge, in New York, against
the Adams Express Company, the Amer
lean Express Company, and the United
States Express Company. A similar in
Junction has also been issued in Cincin-
natl by Judge Baxter against those COM
panies. The bill of complaint filed this
morning in the United States Court
in Baltimore alleges that it
is the usage and custom
for an express company to receive from
connecting companies parcels of express
matter and pay accrued charges and
transmit the same to the point of destina-
ton. The bill also alleges that the three
companies named have made an agree
ment to deny on Oct. 10 to the Baltimore
and Ohio Express Company this facility.
while they still extend it to each other.
Notices have also been received by the
express department from all points in the
country that on this date there would be
a general refusal by all agents of these
facilities to the Baltimore and Ohio
Express Company. One of these exhibits
filed was a telegram from the general
agent in New York, which stated that W.
Hoey, Superintendent of the Adams EX-
press Company, had said that the action
OF the express company in refusing to
"carry the charges" and make transfers
was done in accordance with the action
OF the Pennsylvania Railroad. They have
been advised of what was to be done. and
took united action. The restraining order
granted by Judge Morris is to remain in
force till Nov. 8, and was issued without
the requirement of bond.

MADRID, Oct. l5.-Ld Liberal states
that United States Minister Foster, prior
to signing the treaty on behalf of the
United States, demanded that the reciprO-
cal advantage recorded in the treaty
should be confined solely to spain and
America. He claimed that it would be
impossible to conclude a convention be-
tween Cuba, Porto Rico, and the United
States upon the same conditions as OBJ
tanned in a general treaty, and if forced to
cOnciliate upon international require
ments, the negotiations between the two
countries would have TO be continued.

LONDON, Oct. 15.-The Standards
Vienna correspondent states that one of
the American Ministers now stationed on
the Continent and versed on the Congo
question, writes that the American Gov
ernment will certainly accept the invita-
tion of Prince Bismarck to participate in
the coming conference upon the Congo
country at Berlin, and that America will
give full support to England and freedom
of commerce. The writer says that their
interests being identical, any attempt to
battle English enterprise will find no sup
port from Americans.
1t is announced that Prince Bismarck
has acceded to the demands made by
Earl Granville that the business to be
considered by the projected Congo con-
ference shall be limited to the regulation
of the commerce of nations with the
Congo country. Communications which
have passed between the governments at
Berlin and Paris show that the French
Government insists that the trade OF the
Niger river and country shall be also con-
sidered by the conference.
