The Boston boot and shoe house of A. p Martin
y Co., of which eXMayor Martin is the head, has
made an asst gnment. The firm operated three
factories in Hudson, employing 100 hands. While
filling contract last spring the employees, who
belong to the X. of L. demanded more pay and
rather than break the contract the demand was
granted although it involved a heavy loss to the
firm. Operations have since been carried on at a
loss and it was concluded to suspend rather than
go IN deeper. 1t is believed that Mr.. Martins per-
sonal assets will more than the liabilities
ana there is not dollar owing to employees. The
failure was surprise to the trade, and there is
much sympathy for Mr. Martin, whose character
and credit rank high.

The Situation at WASHINGTON.

Congress is now in session. The New York
Herald, a friendly critic, places the Democratic
majority in full house al fifteen. When some
of the Democratic members are full. as they
are liable to be, the balance of power will be
unstable. Many of the Democrats are demon
allied by their failure to secure a reelection,
and with no incentive to the future will be
careless as to their records. "IIorzonta Bill"

lingering about the door holding those
lengthy eve-of-parting conversations always
betokening that two people have found some
topic of common interest and consequent
bond of sympathy between them. Only, in
this case knew or rather felt that the bond
was manufactured by Broener for the occa-
sion and concluded it was for the purpose Of
winning the dog-like allegiance of Hillyear
from Pratt and transferring it to himself,
thereby making more secure whatever Of
Pratt's secrets or differences concerning the
Bank" Hillyear might possess
Meantime steady estrangement was grow

jealousy regarding Blanche Sefton-or rath-

early autumn certain to terminate in the

come between two people when one or both
fear loss at the hands of the other. OF this,
the cause lay with me. was brooder Of
the worst type. would live over and over
in mind all that imagination, stirred up to
redoubled action by jealousy, created for me
regarding the matter. l began to dislike
Broener for his superiority in many things
