ed OF the death of Mr.. j. Il. Boyle, in that city.
He says he is in the railroad hospital there,

that Mr.. Boyle still lives. He is one of the
best fellows in the world, and it is to be hoped
he may yet be able TO whip this reporter for

Some country people think that if

the sidewalks, refuse to get up in
street car and give a lady a seat,
talk loud and laugh uproariOusly, they
will be mistaken for city folks. While
they are more than half correct in
this, yet it is the most pronounced

to act even like city people.

AN UNEXPECTED FAILURE.
A Boston Leather Rirm Goes Unde Liabilities s7OO,OOO-The Causes

A Boston Leather Firm Goes Under
 Liabilities s1Oo,0O0-The Causes of
 Lhe Embarrassnent.
 BOSTON, April 11.-Billings x Eaton, wholesale hide and leather dealers st No. 246 Purchase street, made an assignment late this afternoon to Edward H. Dunn, of Messrs. Dunn, Greene & Co.,, and Edward L. .Pickard of Messrs. N. W. Rice & Go. The liabilities are about $700, ,000. It is impossible to state at present just what the assets are, but it is thought they will prove sufficient to pay a
 pretty good dividend. The failure was a
 great surprise to the leather trade and to the
 'sstreet" generally. Their credit stood very
 high us to within few days and their paper
 sold readily at and 6 per cent with a single
 iudorsement. The principal creditors are
 Boston and other Massachusetts banks. The
 causes of the failure are losses incurred by
 the failure of other houses, depreciation in
 values, an accumulation of stock on
 hand and the consequent inability to raise money. The main cause of the em- barrassment is the shrinkage of values. This
 has been going on steadily during the past two years, and has amounted to at least 20 per cent. The members of the firm are not speculators, and have been engaged in no ventures outside of their legitimate business. The firm have large tanneries in Psnnsylva- mia, New York, Maine and Massachusetts. The volume of business transacted annually is estimated at $1 ,500, 900. Their sales have been principally in New England, although they have exported to some extent. Their sales have not been on long time, the terms generally being 60 days, but the time neces- sary to convert the raw material into the manufactured product is long one.
 The capital of the firm two or three years ago is said to have been about $200, ,00O, and it was the capital principally of MT. Billings. MT. Billings has been a partner in variou. leather houses in Boston for the past fifty years, but the firm of Billings & Eaton has been in existance only about seven years. | He is now about 75 years of age, and on that account and because of his sterling business pathy is felt for him in the business and | social world. The present firm consists of Horace Billings, Horace Eaton and John F. l Hickman.
