PROVIDENCE. R. l., Dec. 26.-Follow-
ing the assignment of Fogg. Dernbar & Co.
of New Haven the local house of Ezra D..
Fogg & Co. suspended to-day. 1t has made
no assignment, but will probably come
under the same rules of settlement as given
the other house. The assigned firm has
some heavy creditors in this city, but none,
however, will be crippled by the failure. A
few local banks are carrying some of their

The Latest on Record.

CHICAGO, Dec. 26.-The high rates of
freights prevailing at present on coal have
tempted the Lehigh valley to send two more
cargoes here, and the propellors II. E.
Packer and Fred Mercur passed through the
straits last night en- route for Chicago. But
little ice was encountered, and the vessels
will probably make this port without
trouble. This is the first time in the history
of lake navigation that trip has been at
tempted so late in the season. and will give
the Mercur the honor of being the first and
last boat through the straits in 1885.

no difficulty in giving them their
proper names. 1t is not generally
known that some birds have four dis.
