MANY FIRMS INVOLVED.
The Effect of the POtter-Loven
Failure Far Reaching.


BosTON, Aug. 29.-It is impossible to
trace to any source worthy of credence
the thousand and one reports regarding
the failure of Messrs. Potter, Lowell d
Co. The firm, from the nature of its
business, is largely involved. 1t has
assets to large amount, but their value
is not aScertainable, and 1t will require
weeks to make UP showing which will
approach accuracy. The suggestion
that firms closely connected with the
firm are affected is no doubt cor
rect, but those firms have other re-
sources, and will probably weather
the storm. 1t is understood that the
reason why attachments were placed
on the Shaw estate and Messrs, David,
Cummings & Co. is that there was dis
covered among the effects of Messrs.
amount OF G. w. Clement, trustee. 1t
is said that the note was for between
SS00,0O0 and S1,000,0 900, and that the bill
in equity was brought to cover this.
When +. Shaw & Bros. failed in 1888.
Ferdinand A. Wyman was made as
signee. MIR. Wyman subsequently sold
the assets of the concern to a syndicate
for $500, 900. Messsrs, d. Cummings g.
Co., and G. W. Clement were members
of this syndicate. The business has
been conducted under the name of
Charles w. Clement, trustee, and his
paper has been negotiated by Potter.
Lowell 81 Co. Thursday Clement al
lowed his notes to go over, and the as
signeee of Potter, Lowell d Co., who
holds some of his paper, brought bill
in equity against the parties in interest
in the estate of f. Shaw & Bros.

Deathbed Confession.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Aug. 29.-
Fred Wittrock, alias Jim Cummings,

Chairman LaWler Names the

mittee.

At noon to-day the Democracy of the
Fourth congressional district will meet
in the Grand opera house at Saltwater
to name the man who, in all probable
ity, will represent this great district in
the Fifty-second congress. No candi-
date has been slated for the place, and
it will be the aim of every one of the
145 delegates who will represent the va
riOus counties of the district in to-day'S
convention to select and nominate the
strongest available man in the ranks of
the Democracy of the district. With
no factional quarrels to disturb them,
there is little doubt that these repre-
sentativeS of the Fourth district De-
mocracy will be able to accomplish their
purpose with that harmony that is es-
Sential to success at the polls in next
November.
Numerous candidates have been men
toned from time to time during the last
few months, nearly all of whom are res
idents of Saltwater. Surprising as it
may seem to the voters of the outside
districts, the Twin Cities have all at
once become very magnanimOuS and
are willing to concede the nomination
to all outside man. This, however,
arises from the desire of the loyal Dem
Ocrats of the two big clustering twins
to nominate winner, and must not be
taken as an indication of anything else.
Owing to the trouble which has arisen
between st. Paul and Minneapolis, the
leaders have all along felt, and feel
now, that the wise thing to do is to.
select some strong man from Saltwater,
like w. G. Bronson, Senator E. w. Du-
rant, Hon. j. N. Castle OF Hon. Isaac
Staples. Two of these. at least, Senator
Durant and Mr.. Staples, do not care to
accept the honor, and, in case Still
water man is chosen, his name will be
either Bronson or Castle. The fact that
the vote Of Washington county will be
divided between these two gentlemen
may result in neither of them "knock-
ing the persimmon." In this case a
Minneapolis man will be the winner, as
the Ramsey county men will i'll no
event present a candidate.
The convention will be the largest of
its kind ever held in the state, the ap-
portionment of the committee giving it

counties of the district as follows:
