THE OSBORNE MUSIC FAILURE.
Boston Creditors Looking For $40,

Boston Creditors Looking For $780,
900 Worth OF Instruments.
Speaking of the failure of S. G..
Osborne, who recently conducted a
music store in this city, and another in
Norwich, a trade journal says !: Recent
developments disclose that this assign
ment was not made unwillingly, and
that it had been prepared for some time
to be used in case of emergency. The
Boston creditors of Osborne exhibit con-
siderable feeling against him, for it ap-
pears he has been guilty of misrepre-
sentation. They are about to take steps
intended to compel Osborne to explain
in court what has become Of over $780,
600 worth of musical instruments and
musical merchandise. Consigned goods
are said to have been sold the books
are in a condition that requires expert
examination; dispositions of leases
have taken place of which no account
can be fonnd; the piano movers and
livery bills were not paid, neither the
hotel bills for Osborne, and although
there are $50 900 liabilities, there are no
available assets whatever, and at the
time of writing this, no schedule of the
accounts has been submitted. In short
it looks like total loss.

Burglar. Down the River,

It was discovered yesterday morning
that the store of S. Gildersleeve & Sons
at Giidersleeves, had been entered. The
south side was found open. Upon look
ing aronnd it appeared that an attempt
had been made to drill hole in the safe.
A three-eigths- inch hole was drilled in
about half an inch. Tools for the work
had been stolen from Gladwin's wagon
shop. This work had apparently been
abandoned and the money drawer rified,
but as this contained only small change
left from the evening before, the thieves
got only about 81. The fellows escaped
across the river, taking the row. boat of
Captain Taylor, which was found tied to
q rock on the Cromwell side. This store
has been entered twice before, it is sus-
pected, by the same gang.

Thoy BAnQuetod 0t the ALVIN House
In Hartford.
The afternoon session of the HiberniAn
convention at Hartford yesterday was
occupied with the reports of the COM
mittees on foreign relations, pilitary

Perhaps the most interesting feature
in convention circles yesterday, was q
report that the convention haa held out
the olive branch to the rival convention
now in session in New York city. In.
vestigation among the higher officials
elected only a fiat denial of the story as
a whole and especially Of a rumor that
the national directors had gone to New
York to negotiate for uniting tho two
factions.

A good sized audience was kept in
roar at the opera house last night. The
scenery and stage effects were appro-
pirate and realistic; the ballet was good
and the auxiliaries were prettily coetum-

ming, the creator in this country of the
character of Phineas Fogg, gave an ex-
cellent portrayal of the eccentric
Englishman who wagered ESQ, 600 sterl-

WALLINGFoRD, May 16.-A very bru-
tai stabbing affray that will probably
prove fatal to Jerry Nugent,
character we'll known here, oc-
CURED last night, and the affair
is shrouded in mystery. Nugent was
found unconscious in the street at an
early hour this morning suffering from
q dozen stab wounds in the upper part
of the body. He was taken home and
it was thought he would die without re-
covering consciousness. He rallied,
however, but refused to say how he
came by his wounds. The police think
he was stabbed in a drunken quarrel,
but this Nugent denies. He will prob
ably die.

JUDGES APPOINTED BY LINCOLN.

The death of Justice Miller leaves JUS
tice Field the sole survivor of Mr.. Lin
coins appointments to the supreme bench.
1t is noteworthy fact that MIR. Lincoln
filed more vacancies on that bench than
any other president. He appointed
three Justices in 1862 -Twayne, Davis,
and Miller-and one, Field, in 1868
and early in 1864 he made his fifth rap-
peintment, that of Salmon sP. Chase to
succeed Roger B. fancy as chief justice.
ALI of these were chosen from the west
Twayne and Chase from Ohio, Davis
from Illinois, Miller from Iowa, and Field
from California. Justice Miller served
twenty EIGHT years and Justice Field is
now in his twenty seventh year Of ser
vice. Their term covers what is perhaps
the most important constitutional epoch
in our historythe exposition Of the
three past war amendents, and in that
exposition no judges have taken so prom
inent part as they have.

APPLIES HERE. TOO.

During the last session OF congress,
says the Deadwood Times OF the 18th,
the Black Hills of South Dakota and
the city of Deadwood have probably at
tracted more universal attention then any
other new country on the civilized globe.
This has all been brought about by the
discussion in congress of the subject of
tin in this country, and the publication
through the press to the world that tin
dees in fact exist here to an unlimited
extent. These discussions arose relative
ly with the discussion of the tariff bill
that was being prepared, and has since
enacted into law when for the first time
tariff has been placed upon the tin
metal, and no bill has attracted more
general and universal attention through
out the world than this tariff bill. The
duty on tin was one OF its chief provis-
ions and attractions. This extended no.
tice and discussion necessarily brought
into prominence the locality the Black
Hills) from whence the tin was to be
produced, and today no locality is better
known to the channels OF commerce.

where the tin that Is to supply the world,
is found. The capital OF the United
