Hat Firms Assign.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. S.-The hat man.

cipitated a failure of Frederick ). Sher-

terials at No. 1T Green street, assigned
today to Chas. Stone of Sand Hill, Wash
ington county, N. Y. The capital was from
$75O,O0O to $1,000 600 and their credit was
good. A member of the firm said to "A
reporter that the failure was due to the
fact that the Philadelphia firm of Price,
Sherman d Co, was under heavy financial
obligations to them. 1t was asserted that
the New York house had been virtually
carrying the Phi iladelplia concern until
1T had been found impossible to do so
longer; hence the suspension. 1t was af-
firmed that the business of Roberts, Cush-
man q Co. was in good condition, and
that the failure would not have occurred
had it not beeu for Price, Sherman & Co.
Just what relations between The two
houses were, Roberts, Cushman & Co.
were reluctant to say, though it was
intimated that a member of one firm has
a relative in the other. 1t was asserted
that the firm hopes to meet all claim

of arms to each of the states of North and
South Dakota, Wyoming and Nebraska
Holman of Indiana, while not opposing
the resolution, expressed his belief that
there was no strong ground for appre.
hension of serious Indian troubles, but
he believed the Indians were not being
well treated. He believed the charge
made that the rations were not being
properly supplied was we'll founded. He
had entire confidence in the present com
missioner of indian affairs, but he be-
lieved the trouble which existed was the
result of neglect, if nothing more, of some
persons connected with the Indian SER
vice. On motion of Carter, the state of
Montana was included in the provisions
of the JOINT resolution, which was then
passed.
The house then took up the pension

The TRIBUNE of Sunday morning gave
as full particulars as could ut that time
be learned of the accidental shooting BY
NJ. s. Emery of his son, while hunting on
Deep creek in the Belt mountains. The
sorrowful sequel is now to be given.
Last evening about 5 o'clock MIR. Emery
and the other members of the hunting
party arrived in the city with the dead
body of the young man. After suffering
intense torture he died at 3 o'clock Sun
day morning, several hours before DR..
Gordon reached the scene. The body is
at the Milwaukee. 1t will be embalmed
and taken to Mr.. Emery's home at Lake
City, Mimi, for interment.
Details of the distressing accident are
in brief as follows: The hunting party
comprised Mr.. Emery and son, and John
Bridges and Joe pepper of this city.
They were camped on Deep creek, about
40 miles from here, and were packed up
and just on the eve of starting for home,
when a deer was sighted in a thlcket
near by. The hunters decided
to take different positions around the
thicket so that if the deer made a break
in any direction some one could get q
shot at him. Young Emery went up the
creek and took u position a short distance
from the thlcket. But in his anxiety to
get a shot at the animal he moved eau
%tiously to the underbrush and entered il,
making his way slowly so as not to fright
en- the game. None of the others saw
his movements and when Mr.. Emery OBJ
served the bushes part and thought he
saw an object moving he at once and
naturally supposed it was the deer,
and fired the fatal shot. His
horror upon learning what he had done
can be better imagined than described.
The ball entered the groin and passing
entirely through the body came out at
the hip, making a fearful wound. The
young man was taken to a cabin neal by
where all that was possible without med
lcine or the surgeons aid was done for
him. His sufferlngs during the time he
lived sfter the accident were intense, but
hardly greater than those of the grief
stricken father. Mr.. Emery has many
friends in this city who sincerely synlpa-
thize with him in his great aftiiction.

railway for their part in the ceremonies.
The speaker proceeded to relate how
when here early IN the year he saw the
depot would not be completed as soon as
expected and that he had determined to
60 to Europe on a vacation. This was
cut short by the financial cyclone in the
east, which caused him tt hurry home to
guide his interests and those of

about it was it had given him the priv
lege of being present at the formal open
ing of the magnificent deport. Willard

Germany. After other speeches the
gathering dispersed.

night at which there was a large gather
ing of railway officials and prominent
citizens.
