The Great Shipping Firm Of
Harrison Loring & Co.
Has Failed.
Liabilities Of $375,000, and
Assets Will Only Reach
$4,000.
Anti-Ameriean Sentiment In
Chilli eliminates in a
Battle.
One American Sailor Killed
and Several Dangerously
Wounded.

Bos TON, Mass, Oct. 17.-The great
shipping firm of Harrison LOring IL
Co., prOprietors Of the City Point works,
South Boston, assigned this afternoon
to eX-Ald. Char les Il. Allen, of Boston,
and Hon. George W. Quintard, of New
York. The liabilities are stated by Mr..
Loring to be $4,000, while the assets
are nominally put at $4,000, which
includes every dolla rs worth of
personal property owned by the indi-
vidual members of the firm, although
the amount is generally believed to be
somewhat exaggerated. The firm is
building United States steel armored
Cruiser No. IL for the government at a
contract price Of s674, 600, with 100000
added as a speed premium, and is also
constructing half q dozen steel tug
boats for the government, the latter be-
ing nearly completed.
In statement sent by mail to its
creditors tonight, the firm says the
cause Of the collapse was the failure of
the government to make certain pay
ments on the contracts when they were
expected, and the consequent inability
of the firm to meet its own obligations.
This nOn-payment the firm attributes to
red tape, which encumberS so many
transactions of the government. The
works employ 800 men, and these Will
on Monday next be paid the full amount
OF wages due them. A meeting of the
creditors will be held some time next
week, when the firm will ask an extern
sion. and it confidently asserts that if
the extension is granted all its indebt-
edness will be paid in full. The assign
ment was quietly made and was known
to very few people on the street. Har-
rison Loring is seventy years, old and
has for forty years carried on business
in South Boston.
Could Not Realize
1t was expected up to Saturday MORN
ing that Mr.. Loring would receive
credit for work done on the new vessels
now being constructed for tie govern
ment that would enable him to meet all
payments that were due, but

such that he could not realize for some

some of his largest creditors and many

The creditors meeting will be held

scented large sum, it caused no actual
excitement Gu State street, as the hold
ings nf all local banks are said to be
small. Mr.. Loring was reported as sick
tonight, but his son said: This is

HEIR TO MILLIONS.
A Poor House Inmate Now as Rich
as CrOeSus.

Special to the Globe
BUTTE, Mont, Oct. 17.-Mrs. Ann A.
Dodge, an inmate of the poor house of
this city and eighty years OF age, re-
ceived notice to-day that she is the heir
TO an estate worth $4,000 900 in En- gland.
The story dates back two centuries, at
which time her great grandfather on her
mothers side owned vast estate near
London. His oldest son removed to
America, settling and marrying in Vir-
ginia. Two children, William and
Annie, were born of the mar
riage, the latter the mother of Mrs.
Dodge. The son and his wife died and
the two children moved to Kentucky.
Both married, the son dying without
issue, and the daughter, Ann, marrying
William Coleman. Both died forty
years ago, leaving Mrs. Dodge and sis
Mrs. Dodge's husband died twenty
years ago. Five years ago an article
appeared i'll an English paper telling of
the estate and the lost heirs and the fact
that the estate was in the hands or a
public administrator. Mrs. Dodge
became convinced that it was her
family history related. She laid
the case before a relative named
Ross, recently of Minneapolis, and
lie went 10 London TO investigate the
matter. He returned an encouraging
letter, but since then nothing was heard
from him, and it is not known where he
is. Then she placed the matter in the
hands of her nephew, William T. Cole
man, a wealthy canning manufacturer
of San Francisco. Meanwhile she came
to Butte to visit her daughter, Mrs.
Charles Ragsdale. She was taken sick,
and, accommodations not being good at
the miners cabin, she was removed to
the poorhouse. She has now received
letters confirming her right to the estate
and has forwarded letters, documents,
the family Bible, etc., to prove her

POLAND:s TRIBUTE.
Wreath Laid on Parnell's Grave
After Great Trouble

DUBLIN, Oct. 17.-Delegate Ziemlnski
arrived here to-day from Warsaw, bring
ing with hiin'a handsome wreath to be
placed upon the grave of Parnell.
Zieminski says it was intended that he
should be present as representative of
the NatIonalistS of Poland at the fun
eral of the irish leader, but the Russian
government did not allow the date of
the funeral to be published in the
papers. The wreath is composed of
laurel leaves entwined with the Polish
colors, and with broad silk bands bear
ing inscriptions expressive of sympathy
with the deceased, and the cause for
which he fought. The Poles who sent
this testimonial of their regard and APP
probation of the work of Parnell, were
obliged to smuggle it across the frontier,
as the Russian authorities would UNI
doubtedly have confscated the Offering,
even II no harsher measures were
adopted.

HOW CRIME BREEDS CRIME.

The recent lynchings in New Orleans
could not have occurred in any place
where public opinion had not been de
moralized by long series of violences.
The occurrences of March ii were not the
sudden ebullitions of popular indigna
ton, but the result of long familiarity
of the people with crime. For twenty.
five years the murder of negroes has gone
ON in Louisiana, and not one of the muir.
derers has been hung or imprisoned
TIE whites have silently acquiesced in
these crimes or openly applauded them
and accepted the political profits which
resulted from them. In this way the,
have educated the public mind to such
a familiarity with violence that it Is
promptly resorted to when the public
anger is aroused.
This fact is strikingly illustrated in the
case of one of the Italians lynched by
the mob. The New Orleans correspond
