A Failure on Chapel Street-Old Real
 kstate Transactions the Cause.-The
 ola, Old Story.
 Charles Pallman, the fancy dry goods dealer at No. 824 Chapel street, made an as- signment yesterday morning. Daniel L. Carpenter is named as the assignee, and the hearing will be held in the probate court August Is. Mir. Pallman has been in busi- ness over twenty years.
 The original cause of the failure may be found in some disastrous real estate trans actions of the past. whereby Mir. Pallman lost heavily. The immediate causes are . depreciation of stock and general financial disturbances. The old real estate transac- tions were the hidden rocks upon which the vessel stranded. The day of reckoning has come. Mir. Pallman recently offered his creditors fifty cents on the dollar, but some of the smaller of them refused to accept it and forced him to assign. The stock in the store may be worth about $4,0O0, which originally cost $5, 900. How bad the failure is cannot at present be ascertained, but Mir. Mir. PalIman's offer of fifty cents on the dol lar probably represents above the proportion of assets to liabilities.

THE LRETK,s ISLAND mxsrEH

The Medical Examiners Autopsy NOt
 Concluded-Tne Body Taken To
 GuIIHord.
 But few new developments have come to light in the mystery at Leete's Island, where the body of Quarryman Edward Brandon was found in so shocking condition. A absolute quarryman named William Welch was known to have been intimate with the dead man and he departed very suddenly. when it became known that Brandon's body was found. He drew his pay, $11.19, from the office, and by noon had bidden Leete's Island good bye in suspiciously silent way. Welch though much younger than Brandon, who was sixty years old, used to court his company. They lived at Dohertyis boarding house. Neither worked on Wednesday, and the last seen of either of them on that day was about 10 o'clock. Before dark that night Brandon's dead body was discovered.
 On the other hand, Coroner Mix is strong ly impressed by his investigation that it is Q case of suicide. Brandon had been somes what gloomy for some time, and not long aoo he claimed to have had money stolen from him in Branford. He had the accused party arrested, but obtained no satisfaction. He was lately notified to keep close in his room and seemed melancholy. No trail of blood was found near the place where the body was, and this seems to favor an idea of suicide. He might have dropped the knife used to end his life down between the cracks of the meadow breakwater, by which he lay, aad here it could never be found. A theory is also advanced that he fell on the sharp rocks and thus cut his throat and wrist. but this seems to disprove itself by the otherwise uninjured condition of the body. It is doubtful whether the real facts of the case can ever be obtained. Medical Examiner White began an autopsy yesterday afternoon, but nothing new has been devel- the morning. $18.30 was found among the deceased mans possessions, and it is said he had three hundred dollars in a savings bank. He seems to have been quarryman of a better sort than the average. He came to America forty years ago.

W1LKEsBARRE, Pa, Oct. 2O-A daring
murder and robbery occurred yesterday:
morning q few miles from here on the
Wllkesbarre mountain. Paymaster John
B., Mcclure and Stable Boss Hugh
Flanagan, of Philadelphia, and their
horses were shot: dead, and "a sum
of money amounting to- sc, 600 in
their. possession was taken by the
murderers. The murdered men start
ed in a. buggy to pay the workmen on Nc
Fadden,s new branch of the Lehigh VAL
ley railroad between Mill Creek and Laurel
Run, and their dead bodies were found
just before noon lying on the road in =
lonely strip Of wood. :: .:;..-.--,
There is great excitement here over the
murder, and numerous theories have been
advanced as to how the deed was done.
The latest theory is that: the muir,
der was committed by an organized
gang of six Italians, who were sta
toned at different points on the lonely
road. Two of them stood behind a big pine
tree, which was covered in front by under,
brush, and when the two men came in
sight they fired, killing Flanagan, who fell
out of the buggy. The autopsy shows that
Mcclure was shot in the back. He probably
fell out OF the buggy, too, but; in falling
his foot was caught in the crossbar and
he was dragged for. quarter Of mile,
the horse travelling :; that distance
from :: where ::Flannigan's body was
found. When the horse came to a
standstiit the williams jumped into the
buggy and took the money. Finding that
Mcclure was; still alive; one Of the muir
derers blew the top of his head on. There
is no:clew to the murders as yet. Several
