One of the Largest Failures in the Hi
tory of The Trade

One of the Largest Failures in the His
tory of The Trade.
NEW YORK. March 19th.-The dry goods trade
was startled to-day by the failure of John f,
Plummer u Co. They made a general assign
ment for the benefit of their creditors TO their
cashier, Jeremiah p Murphy. Plummer also
made an individual assignment. Murphy SAYS
the assignment is principally due to the depre.
citation of the value of goods which the firm has
been carrying for some time. Creditors by unit
ing can possibly make the SUSPENSION only
temporary. Murphy says the liabilities are
about 81 000 600, of which 500 0o0 is for borrowed
money and the balance is due TO manufacturers
and for trust money deposited with the firm by
relatives and friends. The assets nominally are
little larger than the liabilities and consist CT
stock and Outstanding accounts and valuable
real estate owned by Plummer
The trade attributes the failure to oyer-ad-
yances, chiefly on saIinet accounts, and COM
plications arising from the old firm of Slower
y Darling, whose business Plummer took
Plummer was active in Republican poll
tics, but it is claimed that it did not inter
fere with his business. He is a personal friend
of President Harrison, and took leading part
in the last Presidential campaign, in the dry
goods trade.

returned to the hall and found all the lepers in
their places they at once abandoned the re-

been defiled by the touch of lepers The latter,
therefore, had the dinner ali to themselves

The strong party leaders are convinced that
crisis has arrived, so that they must go before
the country on something. Goschen's budget
offers the only opportunity likely to prove a

there Is crisis and say that the caucus was,
called simply to effect stronger party organiza-

this As things look tonight dissolution and a
