LONDON, March 10.-Thc stagnation in
many branches OF industry caused by
the strike OF the coal miners continues,
and threatens to become more accent.
uated as the manufacturers stocks Of
fuel become exhausted. Unless the
strike is speedily settled the East Ian.
cashire cotton trade will meet with Q
severe check. The manufacturers can
not afford to pay the enhanced prices
for steam coal. Half Of the mills ut Ac
crington are at q stands.ill, owing TO the
scarcity Of fuel, and many thousands OF
hands are idle. l'l. .5S. +,
The strike in Nottinghamshire is prac.
tically ended. The men have resumed
work in all the pits except four. 1t was
expected that the strike in North WaleE
would terminate to-day, but the men

New YonK, March l9.-The dry goods
firm Of Plummer & Co., made an assign
ment to-day. The firm is composed ef
John F. Plummer and William Darling.
They made general assignment for the
benefit Of creditors. Mr.. Plummer also
made an individual assignment to Mr..
Murphy. Much regret has been ex-
pressed in the trade. Mr.. Murphy, the
assignee, said that the assignment was
principally due to depreciation in the
value Of goods which the firm had on
hand and which they had been carrying
for some time. When they realized
their position they made every effort to
go on, but found it impossible and had
to make an assignment without prefer.
ence. .gi! Z.
Mr.. Plummer is recognized by the
trade as a man Of high honor and com.
petent business ability. The creditors
concerned by uniting possibly can
make the suspension only temporary
one. Mr.. Murphy said the liabilities
were about 100000, OF which about
$500, 900 is for borrowed money, and Il o
balance is due to manufacturers and for
trust money deposited with the firm by
relatives and friends. The trust money
is family matter. The assets, nominally,
are a little larger than the liabilities.
They consist OF stock and outstanding
accounts, and some valuable real estate
owned by Mr.. Plummer. o.. q
, In the trade the liabilities are re-
ported to be sl,lO0,OOO and nominal
assets $l,2Oo,00o: Mr.. Plummer was
active in Republican politics, but it is
claimed that did not interfere with his
business. He is a personal friend Of
President Harrison and took a leading
part in the last Presidential election in
the dry goods trade. 5,.g.

chant to-day, "that two leading Repub-
licans, Mr.: plummer Of New York, and
Mr.. Franklin Woodruff, in BROOKLYN,

fully five inches Of snow was on the

Wisconsin Supreme Court Decides TINT
Reading tho Bible In Public Schools Is
Unconstitutional.
MADISON, WIS.,, March l9.-One Of the
most important cases decided by the
Wisconsin Supreme Courtin many years
was that Of Weiss against the Edgerton
District School Board. Some OF the
public school teachers there were in the
habit Of reading the Bible to their pu-
pills, and to this some Catholic parents
objected, particularly because the Bible
used was the King James edition, por.
tions Of which are repugnant to the Ro.
man Church., The case was tried in the
Circuit Court for Rock county, which
overruled the demurrer Of the Catholics
to the answer Of the school board. The
action Of the Circuit Court is no W in turn
overrnled by the State Supreme Court,
thus giving victory to the Catholics and
declaring that the reading Of the Bible
in the public schools is unconstitutional
