HEAVY FAILURE.

f. w. Nickerson & Co., general merchants

Steamship COMPANY, and the Boston, Halifax
and Prince Edwards Island Steamship com
pany, with headquarters in Boston, have
failed Their direct liabilities are given as
between 100000 and 100000, and their
indirect obligations will amount to about
$500, ,OO0 The firms paper was placed by
broker, and such as is not held in Boston is
largely distributed in New York, Philadel-
phia, and few country banks. The Boston
and Savannah Steamship Company, of which
the firm is agent. is said not to be involved in
the failure. The firm is large stockhoider
in the company, aud such growing out OF the
CITY of Columbus wrecks, some of which are
still pending, has been one of the principal
causes of the failure. The Boston, Halifax
aud Prince Edward line of steamers, of
which the firm is manager and part owner, is
involved. The assets are nomlnally placed
at about 5000, 900, and it is thought that with
iudicious handling the creditors may receive
large dividend The assets consist of
stocks and bonds and eastern steamers. The
firm also owns two islands in the West In
die. on one of which are 5000 head of cattle,
and the other salt island. The failure will
not. it is said, affect any other firm. j. B.

The House resumed IN committee of the
whole the consideration of the bill authorz-
ing the appointment of a commission to carry
on tests of STEEL iron and other structural
materials.
Mr. Mcmillan of Tennessee opposed the

Mr.. Blount of Georgia. thought the scope
Of the bill was wider than many members
seem to believe and he saw in it an immelse
structure in the shape of new born bureau.
The proposition was to furnish every manu-
facturer with mode of testing his material
at government expense.
Mr.. Long of Massachusetts, inquired if he
did not think this was not for the benefit of
the people.
Mr.. Blount answered that be most une-

iniquity in legislation than the attempt on the
part of private interests to come in here and

THE HABEAs CORPUS SQUELCHED.
Brother GOff Can't Pay the Fine,
Hut He Does II All the Same.

The hearing of a petition for the release
from the Penitentiary OF Hyrum Golf,
cohab., on writ of habeas corpus, came
up in the Federal Court chambers this
morning.
Golf was again examined as to his
qualifications for taking the oath. and
the evidence given before the Com
missioner was again taken. 1t will be
remembered that subsequent to his
arrest, Golf had sold his interest in Il
mercantile business for $1,000, and that
he had given 81 900 of this to his first
wife, and $500 TO his second. His first
wife had means of self-support during his
incarceration, and there was, therefore,
no reason why the $1,000 should have
been touched.
Mr.. Varian did not argue at all. Mr..
Richards made an argument for the APP
plicant and the case was submitted.
Judge Zane said he thought the defend
ant could pay, and he would therefore be
remanded to the custody of the Marshal
until he did so.
Golf Immediately told the clerk that
he would bring him the amount in few
minutes, and in less than an hour the
fine was paid. The fine and costs of
court amounted to 1898. As, and beside
this there were some Marshal's costs,
making the entire amount something
over $500.

Boy Burglars.

The house on the corner OF First West
and Second South streets, belonging to
John Hoagland, was entered to-day at
high noon by four small boys, who were
just ready to leave with the greater part
of the contents, when they were arrested
By Sheriff Burt.
The family who reside in the house
had gone out for visit, and
during their absence the boys got
in through window. They ran
sacked the entire house and carried
what spoil they could lay hands on into
cellar. Mrs. Little, who lives next door
saw them in the house and sent for
Sheriff Burt, who appeared upon the
scene and drew the young culprits out OF
the cellar. The boys all appear to be
under II years of age and are said to be
the same crowd that burglarized Sadie
Mobiles house some time ago.

A SHOOTING AT BINGHAM.
Frank Race, A Bartender, seriously
wounded. and Bystanders
Were Shot.

At 2 80 o'clock last night, there oc-
Cured shooting scrape in Dan Clay>s
saloon, in Bingham, which is likely to ne
attended with fatal results. 1t appears
that the bartender, named Frank Race,
became engaged in an alteration with
T. E. Fitzgerald, and during the quarrel
Fitzgerald drew a pistol and fired two
shots at Race, one OF which passed
through his abdomen, and the other,
higher up. Two bystanders were also
wounded by the shots, one in the shout
der and the other in the thigh. Both
men are well known in Bingham, and
the friends of both deplore the affair, but
the general opinion is that Fitzgerald
acted in self-defense.
LArER.-Race died from the effects OF
his wounds, at about 4 o'clock this after
noon.

The Great Strengthening
Remedy!

A Nerve and Blood Remedy of unequaled
virtue, and of such peculiar qualities that it
is soothing, consoling and strengthing to
the entire physical system, exhilarating the
nerves, and awakening activity and energy.
Indeed, so many are the diseases and weak
nesses which it cures, that an ignorant per-
son noticing the result attributes to the
remedy a miraculous power, whereas, the
virtue lies in its capacity of removing OBJ
structions, regulating unbalanced action,
and increasing the VITAL FORCES, which
is the secret of all health and Of all life!
No one who has ever used it has failed
to be benefited by it. A trial will convince
you that it will perform the work that is
claimed for it.
