Fire-Saic Frauds.

We have published for several months
mast accounts of the operations of the
travelling clothing frauds who go about
the country swindling the people under
cover Of pretended fire sales. assignee
sales. etc. Very few people have an idea
of how widespread this abuse has become.
Local merchants feel the pressure of 1t,
and suffer from il without the knowledge.
perhaps. that oil over the country others
are similarly oppressed and seeking for
means Of relief.
To show how general the operations OF
these frauds have become, and how they
reach into widelv-remOyed sections, we
print the following extracts from our ex,
changes. SO many wideiy-separatcd and
independent movements for relief show
how general the evil IS.
FALL RIVER. MASS.
An important gathering Of the leading
clotmers, dry-eoods merchants, and others
interested met at the Melen House to-
NIGHT TO consider means and measures for
the protection of their business interests
from the travelling fire. and bank
runt sale" establishments. The merchants
Of this CITY will appeal to the Legislature
for help. and steps were taken 10 draw up
a bill. Representative Bullock, OF this
CITY. has Interested himself in the matter
and will present the wishes of the mer-
chants in their proper form. The mer-
chants desire the statement made that they
favor honest competition, but are decided
" opposed to the swlndling. irresponsible
out-of-town parties, whose goods and
representations are far from what they
should be. and whose spGsmodic visits and
bic hauls place the local dealer IN very
unfair position.
poSToN. MASS.
The order which was introduced IN tht
Common Council on Thursday evening
last. which has for Il, purpose the keeping
out Of tins city the " fire land assignee y
sales concerns. has IN it the essence o.
much that Is good. II Is not new. but It
comes at time when the eyll at which II
is directed Is at its worst. A similar ordel
we believe. has been before the Legislature
this year. and the councils of other cite:
have taken the matter up. but these fact'
should not deter the Boston City Councl
from expressing It's opinion a. tothe merlt
of the question. There Is no denying tina
most of these concerns are frauds, and M
people upon whom their deception ia.l'
are of a class who can Ill afford 10 be de
ceived. The legitimate business interest
of Boston-the men who pay the taxes o
the city. and who deal honestly with tn
public-wlll be pleased to see stringen
laws applied TO such concerns.

Broker Summers Peculiar Connection
with a strnnge Case.

NRw York, Nov. S-Perrin II. Summer,
the real estate broker who has been trying
to solve the mystery of the suicide at the
Getty house, Ionkers, said yesterday that
ne had received another letter from j. A.
Edgar who was mistakenly supposed 70
have been the suicide. In it, according 10
Mr.. Sumner the writer said that lac was
not Edgar. but that he called himself that
to shield the identity OF his nephew aud
that, while better, he was still too feeble
TO give his address. Mr.. Sumner nlso says
that a man came TO his Office yesterday
and stated that he knew the suicide was
not James II. Edgar.
Strange to say, there are persons who
seem inclined to laugh at Mr.. Summers
assertions and intimate that the Edgars,
il they ever existed, were in some nefarions
scheme to defraud some insurance COM
pany of the amount Of life policy issued
to j. H. Edgar Some assert that Mr..
Sumner has some knowledge which he
does not think it wise to divulge at present
in this connection. 1t seems rather strange
to many that Mr.. Sumner should have
identified the body at first and when II was
exhumed, stated that he was mistaken IN
his Identification, aud also that while
Edgar" continues to write TO Mr.. sum.
ner Ls refuses to tell where he can be found
Mr.. Sumner has stated that prior to Mr.
| Edgar's disappearance that gentleman was
anxious to procure insurance on his life
whereupon he took him TO see b. g. Bloss
| Of the Mutual Reserve Fund. in the Potter
/ building. According to Mr. Sumner'i
story, however, no insurance was secured
because a woman, who talked so loud a.
TO disturb the party came in, and Mr.
Sumner aud Mr.. Edgar were forced to with
draw from the scene. Mr.. Sumner ex
plains his connection with the Edgars b.
saying that the elder Edgar had none.
which he wished TO invest profitabiy, n'
that Mr.. Rowe introduced him. The polio
OF Yonkers and this city do not seem Z
place any great amount Of faith in MI
Summers stories and say that the Who'll
affair is a remarkable one in all its aspects
The man who committed suicide a
Yonkers is still unidentified. Appearance
seem to indicate that he was a man froI
Boston, in poor circumstances, who wishe
to end life's struggle Mr.. Sumner say
/. that he thinks that both Uncle and Nephe
! Edgar will appear in time, and that /
can then set all doubts at rest as to b
I connection with the case.

WASHINGTON, Nov. s-Capt w S.
Schley, Of the United States ship Balti-
more, has written to the navy department
from Lisbon, Portugal. that he sailed from
Copenhagen Oct. IS, arriving at Lisbon
Oct. ., making the passage in five days
and five hours During the run the ship
encountered heavy gales and behaved ad-
mirably, showing her seagoing qualities
to be OF high order, and at high speed,
varying from l4lS to l6 knots an hour, she
maneuvered without difficulty or risk in
heavy seas for two days. II have never
sailed in a ship" says the captain, with
as much stability aud ease Of movement
in heavy gale" Her greatest roll, hs
says, was 30 degs., and so easily made and
recovered from that but ordinary incon
venience was felt and little motion OBJ
served. II regard the ship in speed, il
strength o. hull and machinery aud as /
gun platform. the most magnificent ship
ever sailed in continues the captain
"and there was no time during the gale

Fort wadsworth.
Fort WADswoRTH, N. Y. Nov. s. Shortly
after p. m. shell exploded Ia easenate
OF the lower fort at Fort Wadsworth, kill
ing one man and injuring four others.
The men were at work tapping shells,
which work consists of filling the shells
with powder and getting them ready for
use. II is not clear just how the accident
occurred, but il is believed that some loose
powder got into the primer, and when the
caps were being placed in position the
powder exploded the she'll.
The last shell was about to be completed
and Nathaniel Chapman was standing Il
front Of It. when it exploded, and he wa
thrown with great force against ston'
WALL his neck being broken and part o
his abdomen was blown away. He wa
dead when picked up. John Davis, J. J
Keegan, George Heirness and +" Cook
who were in the casemate at the time, weri
more or less injured, but they were al
able to walk to the hospital to have thei
wounds dressed An investigation as Il
the cause of the explosion will be held.
