Business Fail 'es.
fBy Telegraph to the Dispa tch.

BALTIMORE. November G.-P. Hanson
Hiss & Co., decorators and manufacturers
Of fine furniture. have filed an assignment
for the benefit OF their creditors TO Chris
tian Devries, trustee. who gave bond in the
sum OF 100000, indicating assets Of half
that amount. The firm has been regarded
as one Of the most substantial in the city,
and the failure il considerable Of a surprise.
Tic trustee states that dizziness and depre-
citation OF values caused the failure, which,
he thinks, will only be temporary, as it is
probable that a compromise may be effected
and the business continued.
There is still an absence OF definite in-
formation regarding the failure OF j. j. Mid
dleton & Co., who made an assignment yes
terday. Skipwith Wilmer, the trustee. to-
day filed bond in the sum OF 100000,
indicating assets OF $4,000; but he is un-
able 10 give any idea OF liabilities. The
business of the firm has not been extensive
Of late, and Middleton Is believed to have
been involved by his connection with seye-
raj other enterprises, among which were
the Walker Horseshoe Company and a
phosphate manufacturing concern; both
Of hich were failures. The bank officials
refuse TO say what amount Of the firms
paper they hold, but II is positively stated
that the Marine Bank-the presidency OF
which Middleton resigned yesterday will
not be In the least affected by the failure.
ANOTHER HEAVY FAILURE IN BALTIMORE.
BALTIMORE, November 6.-Kerngood
