A HEAVY FAILURE.

Two Cotton Mills Go Bnder-The He.
suit of the Recent Failures OF Lewis
Brothers and Brown, Seeese 4
Clark.
PROVIDENCE, Aug. 21.-Two cotton mills,
the Wauregan and its leased property, the
Nottingham and wooden mill, the Thornton
Worsted company, failed today, the result of
recent failures of Lewis Brothers and Brown,
Steese & Clark. The treasurer of the
Wauregan mills states that the failure was
Lewis Brothers of the Riverside Oswego
mills and of Brown, Steese & Clark.
Lewis Brothers had been the agents
for over fifteen years of the Wauregsn
bleaohed goods. When the concern failed
exaggerated reports of their indebtedness in
Providence were published in the New York
papers. Since then banks holding the paper
of the Wauregan mills had been unwilling,
In many cases, to renew It, The result was
that the concern was unable to meet the pay
ments demanded and voted to suspend. 1t
could not borrow to pay its notes and had to
sucoumb. The liabilities are estimated at
from $500, 900 to 100000, although the
treasurer would neither verify nor contra
OlCb bu16 0btlIuht0 NOMINAL 86606t6 amount
to about two million dollars. The plant
alone cost 81 300, 900. The mills are doing a
good business, manufacturing >bleached
goods, brown and white goods and some
fancy goods. The compasy's payroll
amounts to $4,000 per month. There are
about fifty stockholders In the concern. Di-
rector Arnold thought that If arrangements
could be made to run the mills they could
make enough money to more than pay the
interest on the debt and to iquidate all obli-
cations.
The wauregan company has at present two
mills in operation. The first Is that at
Wauregan near Plsinfeld, Conn. 1t is oapi-
talizsd to the amount of 100000 and con-
tains 90, $50 spindles and l. 400 looms. About
1000 hands are employed there. The Sec
ond mill is that known as the Nottingham
mill in this city, which used to be the old
steam mill, under the James Y. Smith Man
ufacturing company. This company was
chartered in 1884 with capital Of $4,000
and has $4,000 spindles and $50 looms.
About 900 hands are now employed in the
MILL Mr.. Edward P. Taft, the treasurer of
the Wauregan company, represents all the
stock of the Nottingham Mills corporation,
and he leases the mill to the Wauregan COM
pany. He is, therefore, regarded as part of
the Wauregan property. Its liabilities are
estimated at from 5000, 900 to $3.50, 900. The
assets nominaly exceed this sum.

GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.
Debate ON tho Irish 0mce Vote In the
House OF Commons.

House OF COMMONS.
LONDON, Aug. 2l.-In the House of Conn
mons this evening in debate on Irish Office
vote Mr. Sexton moved to reduce the vote by
the amount Of Mr.. Balfour's salary. The
principles of Balfour's rule, he said, were q
bad administration of bad law, arbitrary
use of physical force and suppression of the
truth The London Times had the whole
government machinery at its disposal during
the past year, but the Parnellites were salts
isfed with the result of the inquiry. So far
one conspiracy had been revealed and an
other remained. The Parnellites intended to
pursue the subject until full light was
thrown upon it. They would doubtless re-
veal curious reptiles and strange proceedings.
Mr.. Parnell supported tho motion on the
ground that Mr.. Balfour's policy appeared to
be to incite instruments to exceed the law.
The motion was rejected-112 to SO.

AWAITING GRIM DEATH.
The Five Condemned Murderers In the
TOmbs-G0vernOr Hill Grants (sibIin


The Five Condemned Murderers In the
Tombs-GovernOr Hill Grants Giblin
A Respite for Sixty Days.
New York, Aug. 21.-A hush of grim ex-
pectancy seemed to hover over the Tombs
this morning, where the five condemned
murderers are awaiting the hangman's sum-
mons, which will be delivered on Friday.
The warmth of last night, together with the
quintet of unfortunstes to pass restless
night
In consequence they partook but sparingly
oftheir breakfast this morning. Under Sheriff
Sexton made brief call at the Tombs to-day.
Deputy Sheriff Carraher is captain of the
death watch, the members of which never al
low their eyes to stray from the cage in which
the murderers are imprisoned.
Giblin's wife and child were at the prison
yesterday afternoon, and Nolan also received
a visit from his sister and brother. The Rev.
Father Pendergast administered spiritual
comfort to the condemned this morning, and
later in the day the Sisters of Mercy from
Eighty first street and Madison avenue visited
and prayed with them.
Many applications have been made to the
warden for permission to send flowers all of
which nave been refused. Last year the
warden and commissioners had long dis
cussion over this point. It was finally de-
cided that demonstrations of this kind
should be positively prohibited.
Late this evening the carpenters will be-
gin the work of erecting the gallows. One
of them will be placed at the Franklin street
end of the old prison, while the other will be
erected at the Leonard street end. Both of
them have been used before. The old Tombs
standby will again be called into requisition,
while Queens county will lend her gallows
for this occasion.
Although the beams are heavy, probably
only two carpenters will be required to put
them up. It will take about four hours to
complete the job. After one has been erect
ed the ropes, pulleys and weights will be at
tached and test made. The other will
probably be erected tomorrow.
The sheriff has not yet determined how
the men will be distributed.
