THE OTHER WALL FALLS.

Indianapolis the Scene of Another
 Collapse In Q Building - Two Men
 Slightly Hurt - The Body of One of
 Mondays Victims StIll Under she
 Ruins.
 INDIANAPOLIS, March 18.-The east wall of the Becker block, adjoining the burned Bowen-Merrill building, crashed down thls afternoon on top of the ruins of Monday eve ning's fire. For o time the widest rumors of disaster were afoat, but after investiga- ton it was learned that only two men had been hurt, and they slightly, though many had narrow escapes.
 After the crash Mayor Sullivan inspected the ruins and ordered that the front wall of the Bowen-Merrill building be torn down. This was done, and a half hour later the Becker building, @ narrow four story struc. ture, occupied by notion store, fell down in heap. Then the flames broke out again in the ruins and up to 10 o'clock have not been wholly extinguished though flood of water has been poured in to the piles of wreckage. There is, however, no fear of further loss of life, though the three story front building oo. cupied by George w. Sloane, druggist, is re- garded as unsafe, and there are fears that the dry goods house of H. P. Wasson may also succumb.
 Under the ruins there is known to be the body of one fireman, Henry Woodruff, who was caught in Mondays collapse. Further than this it is not believed the list of casual ties will be extended. By to.day's accidents E...P. Bicknell, housekeeping notions, ,sustains loss of $10, ,000, George W. Sloane, druggist, $1 ,000, and several stocks of goods have been more or less damaged.

FIRE IN A MIN E.

Five Men Cut off from Eseape-Search.
 ing Parties aI Work . The Fire
 Spreading-Loss About One Hundred
 Thousand Dollars.
 MILWAUKEE, March 19.-A special to the Evening Wisconsin from Hurley says that big fire is raging in Germania mine, and five men burned to death. It was about mid- night when fire was discovered in No. shaft at the third level in the mine. The alarm was quickly given to the force of men at work, but in spite of their efforts to escape five of the men ct work between the fifth and sixth level in the same shaft were cut of. The men are James Thomas. his son Joseph Thomas, Hugh Waller, James Sulli- van and William Banks, all miners.
 The fire burned iercely and soon found it's way to the surface and destroyed the shaft house and threatened the engine and boiler house. The entire timbering of the shaft and the rooms in that part of the mine will doubtless be destroyed. As soon as 1t be. came known that several men were in the burning shaft searching parties were organ. ized and sent into the burning mine to rescue the missing men or find their bodies. l Waller came to the surface once and re- l turned to look for his companions, and there | is no doubt that he suffocated and fell down | the shaft. The bodies of Thomas and hii son were found shertly before noon on tn, fourth level near No. shaft. Gould the, have gone twenty-five feet further the,
 woud have been saved. The loss 50 far will I reach about $10O.OO0.

THE SIBERIAN OUTRAGES. The Russian Government Disagreeably
 Impressed by the Meetings Which

 LONDON, March 19.-The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Daily News says the Russian government has been dissgreeably impressed by the meetings which have been held in England and America to denounce the outrages committed upon exiles in Siberia
 A correspondent in Siberia sends the details of the Irkoutsk affsir. He says that the prisoners involved in the affair been concerned in the explosion at Zurich last March. They were allowed to live without restraint in Irkoutsk and easily found employment among sympathizers who arc opposed to the Russian system of exile. All went we'll until the police discovered that the exiles were printing proclamations and sending them to Moscow. As soon as the authorities learned what was going on the leaders among the exiles were sent to labor in the mines and the others were told to pre- pare themselves for journey into the in- in vain and at last resolved to sell their lives dearly. Barricading them selves in house, they awaited an attack. They had been we'll provided with arms and ammunition by friendly Siberisns and they received the troops who were sent to capture them with Q heavy fire. Several soldiers were killed by the first volley. A fierce fight ensued, the besieged holding out until a majority of their number were either killed or wounded.

BIG FAILURE IN NRw YORK. Tho Well Known House of John F.
 Plummer & Co. Makes an Assign.
 menI-The Dry Goods Trade startled
 Liabilities About One Million Dol
 lars.
 NEW YORK, March 19.-Ths dry goods trade was startled to day by she announcement that the well known house of John F. Hummer & Go. had made an assignment to Jeremiah P. Murphy, the cashier and bookkeeper, giv- ing preference of $3. 900 to Evarts, Choate & Bsaman. The liabilities are said to be $1, ,000,00 Ar. Murphy says that the as. sets will be about the game amount nominal- ly, but what they will realize can only be told when the schedules are made out The firm is composed of John F. Hummer, Albert T. Hummer and William s. Darling, and did business of over $5, COG, 900 year. The 6rm is one of the largest commission houses in the business and has been in existence many years.
 It was started in 1856 at Church and Lson- ard streets by w. L. Pomeroy, in 1866 Mir. Hummer became . member. Later the firm became Pomeroy & Hummer and then J. F. Plummer & %. Among the mills repre-
  Hockanum, the Springville, Dawson and the North Adams. The satinst mills are another branch of tho firm and are said to be con- trolled by Plummsr 6 Strong. Mr. Murphy says that the failure was caused by carrying to much satinet stock by the firm. He denied that MT. Plummer's political aspirations had anything to do with it. In the registers office to-day mortgages to members of Plum- mer's family were recorded by him to the extent of $95, 900. Tho mills mentioned and probably the Chemical and the Central Na- tional banks are said to be the heaviest cred- itors.
 In tho trade the liabilities are reported to be $1, 100, 900 and nominal as.ets $1, 200, 900. The trade attributes the failure principally to over advances chiefly on the satinet accounts and complications arising from the old firm of Storey & Darling, whose business John F. Hummer took. It is said that the firm of Pomeroy & Hummer was mixed up with the firm of Ferdinand Mayer, which failed in September, 1883.
 Conn, is reported to be one of the largest creditors of the frm. MT. Maxwell, presi- dent of the company, loaned MT. Hummer | $60, ,000 when the latter founded the present | firm, and 1t is said that the loan was repaid last August.
 | Hummer & Co. claimed @ capital of $300,- and business of s, ,000. 900 the first year of it's existence. Their statement January |, l 1889, showed assets $330, ,978 and liability $3S5, ,S62. The open accounts amounted to $6s4, ,570, and these were the principal assete: l They did large business in wollens and
 were negotiating to take southern cotton goods on account, which would have in creased the business $1, ,000, ,000 year.
 Mir. Hummer was active in republican politics. He is . personal friend of Presi-
 dent Harrison and took leading part in
 the last presidential election in the dry goods trade.
 "It is curious" said a merchant to-day,
 mer in New York and Franklin Woodruff
 in Brooklyn-should fail within a month."

UPON THE CEDARs.

DETERMINED UPON THE CEDARs. The Fourth Ward Unanimous in Its
 Preference for the New Park Site
 MT. Blake Presented With . Petit
 ton.
 Yesterday morning the committee of oiti- zens appointed to carry out the wishes of the Fourth ward respecting the location of the proposed park site, met in the office of Henry T. Blake, chairman of the purchasing com mittee of the park commission. There were present, as representing the Fourth ward, J. N. States, John W. Townsend, Nicholas Countryman, George E. Bearn, Rev. W. J. Mutch, George A. Baldwin, James H.. Vest
 MT. Blake was first presented with the fol- lowing petition:
 the Town of New Haven:
 s ia Se eated in the section M known as ',The cedars," will be located too near the end & Of Oyster Polnt most south of Fifth street.
 per cent of those who will derive the greatest benefit from the use of park is, that the vicinity from First to Fifth street is the mest desirable
 We feel that 500 feet in this section would be more satisfactory than 1,500 feet below, and from the large number we nave nearQ express 8 6entl- ment on the subject. we emphaticaly prefer a smaller park in this section than large one at the lower end.
 First street is accessible it is high ground and is
 part of 'sThe Cedars and can be utilized at once. Anywhere below Fourth street is Oyster Point; the land is arshy, and in opinion totally unfit for park purposes, and it is not and never has been resort for the people.
 New Haven, March 15, 1890.
 The petition was signed with the following names: James M. States, N. Countryman, J. W. Townsend, George A. Baldwin, L. I. Thomas, James H. West, 2; B. Tester, Thomas M. Prentice, w; J.. M1tch, Charles B. Foote, Louis A. Lampson E, A. Beck ley. T. Bradford, F. W. Cornell. George E. Bearn.
 Besides the petition there were verbal statements expressed concerning the claims of the ward for park and the superior attractiveness of "The Cedars" for that pur- pose. It was claimed also that the figures of recent sale and the prices of certain pieces of property in that neighborhood would show that they were not exorbitant.
 Mir. Blake, after listening carefully to all that was said, assured the committee that the petition which was presented would be laid before the commissioners and with it state ment of the views that had been expressed.
