BosToN, Oct. S1.--F. L. White & CO.
failed last March with liabilities OF about
100000, the failure being brought about,
it is understood, by the failure Of Hiram

affairs, Mr.. King, discovered in winding
up the business an apparent dis
Of 100000. An officer subsequently
discovered large quantity Of
leather hidden under watts in Whites

Oue Of the creditors are Chicago firms.

tai, but has borne an excellent reputation.
RUINED By STRIKE.
NILES, o., Oct. 31.-George Summers,
Sr., proprietor OF the Russia sheet iron
mill at this place. made an assignment
this afternoon for The benefit Of mis- cred
itors. Mr.. Summers leased the min about
one year age, when it was lying idle. Tho
assignment was preoipitated by a strike,
which was ordered by the ANAL
gamated association because Mr..
Summers would not accede to
the demands OF the wOr1men in a certain
branch OF tie mill. The principal cred
itOrs are the employees. 200 in number
They were to have received their months
pay, which amounts TO about $4,000, to-
day. When 1t became known that an
assignment had been made and that the
money could not be had the men sur
rounded the office, and refused to let Mr.
Summers leave IL. The scene
around the works, at this
hour 8 o'clock) was exciting. Men and
women were demanding money or bread
for their little ones, and it would have re-
quired but little arguing to induce them
10 commit violence. The situation was
alarming, and the sheriff Of the county
WAS advised by telegraph. The crowd
finally dispersed, however, and permitted
Dir. Summers 20 go home.

horse, and stripping of his socks flayed
the soles Of his feet, and made him walk
with the raw flesh nearly a mile, They
then cut off his ears and wrists, In which
