Failed for Two Millions.

CHICAGO. Oct. 10.
The failure of Nathan Corwith & CO., the
biggest lead firm in the world, to corner
the lead market, and their subsequent fail
ure, causes great interest in financial circles.
Their Liabilities are supposed to exceed
50 900, 600 Their assets consist of a small
amount of pig lead in various warehouses,
bill receivable for an unknown amount of
real estate. The sheriff today attached
S500,000 worth of real estate which is
thought will amply protect the local credi-
tors. A conservative banker said he would
have put Corwith's wealth day or two go
at 81 200, 900,

Horrible Details of the Affair.

They drew the money from the Wyoming
National Bank at 10 A. NJ. and drove in
a buggy to Miners Mill, where they turned
off up rough mountain road. About mile
from town in a lonely place they encoun-
tered the robbers. Three shots we're fred
at Flanagan, one bullet passing through his
heart, and another through his neck and out
between the shoulders. The horse ran
away and Flanagan fell from the buggy to
the ground.
Two more shots were fred at Mcclure,
taking effect in his back, when he too fell,
but was caught on the step and was dragged
nearly half mile. Another shot was fired
at Mcclure which entered his left eve and
tore off the top of his head. When the rob-
bers came to Flanagans body they struck
him on the forehead, crushing his skull.
As McClure's horse was spirited, it was i'm
possible for the first two robbers to overtake
him, but the third person in wait at the top
of the hill shot the horse as he came up
Five other shots were fired into the horses
head. The robbers took from the buggy a
vaIse containing money and fed to the
woods. Officers and volunteers have been
securing the woods all day but the murderers
hare not been arrested.

Dem ocratic Convention. This body
Of political leaders will meet in Los

Los Angeles is most admirably suited

an d the Pavilion is not to be excelled
as an edifice for the deliberations
of any such assembly. Lieutenant
Governor White, and Mr.. Sidney
Lacy have achieved a great victory in

affair of no common order, and it re-
quired a big effort to overcome
the strenuous opposition of a
portion of the up-country peo-
pie. 1t is now in order
for our people to stand nobly up to

on their visit to this ancient and

MR.. BROOKS SUCCESSOR.
He Has Been Trying to be he
lieved of His office.

AACNCu VI AhAS V1hICes
Noticing the appointment of Mr..
George j. Denis as United States At
torney for the Southern District of
California. as reported in dispatch
last night, representative of the
HERALD called on Mr.. j. Marion
Brooks to ascertain what he knew in
relation to the matter. Mr.. Brooks
said that when he was appointed
United States District Attorney for
this district he went to Washington to
ascertain whether there were any
charges pending against him, and
found that there were no charges ex-
cept of political nature. He called
on President Cleveland and Senator
Hearst, who said they had seen moth
ing about him except as man who
had no enemies and few f;iends. The
Senate adjourned without taking any
action in the matter. The President
again appointed Mr.. Brooks and he
entered into the discharge OF the
duties Of his Office on the 9TH of April,
1887, and has served ever since. After
being in the office q few months, he
found that it did not pay. and resolved
upon retiring, and has since said thai
he would not serve longer than the
present administration, and was de-
sirous of having some one else APP
pointed. The President was aware of
this, and tried to find some one to
take the position. Among others, it
was offered to Judge Garfield, but he
refused. Again the President sent
his name into Congress, but sin then
the Senate Judici 'ry Committee has
not met. In the meantime, Mr.
Brooks has written to friends in Wash
ington that he would not have the
office, and if confirmed. would resign.
The office was one OF great RESPONSE
bility without pecuniary remuneration,
for example: Mr.. Brooks spent almost
the whole OF the month OF July last in
examining the title to the site of the
new postofice, and the Depart
ment had suspended his pay fer
the time thus occupied. On
March 9th he had received 4
letter from Supervising Architect
French saying that the fees and
money he had paid for the abstract Of
title would not be repaid TO him until
a decision had been rendered by a
United States count. Under these
circumstances, he had written to
friends to see the President and have
him appoint some other man, promis-
ing to remain until the appointee
should be fully acquainted with the
details OF the office. Mr.. Brooks had
seen the dispatch in relation to the
appointment of Mr.. Denis. and be-
lieved it to be most judicious selec-
ton, and il Mr.. Denis should accept
the position he would accord to him
all the courtesies possible. He had
not received any information upon
the matter, but supposed the Presi-
dent had acted upon his desires in the
matter. Mr.. Brooks closed the con-
versation by saying that he doubted
whether any lawyer of recognized
ability would accept the position
where the pay was so small"
