"NERVY" EVANS SUICIDE.
HE SHOOTS HIMSELF IN HIS BROTH
ER'S HOME.
Was the Action Due to Misfortune in
Stock Dealing-Mr. Evans Was Very
Prominent on Change - Something
About His Firms Dealings I'm the
Market.

ALLENsTowN, Y. H., Oct. 16-2 =. MI
A. Evans, broker in Boston, has Just
committed suicide by shooting himself
through the head
Irving A. Evansor "Nervv " Evans as
he was familiary known, was a member of
the firm of /. A. Evans * Co.
Irving A. Evans s the son of the Hon.
Alonzo Evans
The suicide was committed in Allen
town at the house of Brice l.. Evans, the
brother of Irving.
Mr.. Evans was the senior member of the
firm which bears his name. They are one
of the largest brokerage firms in Boston,
and were especially known for their deal
ings in Atchison and New England.
In recent years there has been no move
ment of consequence in either stock, and
especially in the latter, but the deal
ers always attributed IL to Evans and his
friends.
The firm is quoted by Dun's Agency at
$500 900 To 100000 with credit "high." F"
There have been for some time rumors
on the street of financial trouble.
Evans was teller In the Five Cent Saw
ings Bank on School street. When n
young man he left there TO go into the
banking business with G. A. Doane under
the name of Evans * Doane.
Partnership continued several years and
then was dissolved, Doane retiring and
Evans continuing and associating with
with him several young men under the
present firm name.
A. b. Tobey and w. :. Bliss are the
members of the firm of Evans q Co.
The announcement of Evans suicide
came like thunderbolt tohis late associ-
ates in the Exchange. Many and various
were the surmises as TO the cause of the
act.
His most intimate friends claim that
the finances OF the firm are all right, and
that business trouble was not the cause of
the suicide.
When the news was received the doors
Of the house in the Fiske building on State
street were closed
The friends of Mr.. Evans, who were re-
ceived by other members Of the firm, state
that the house is strong financially, and is
by no means embarrassed and can meet all
obligations.
Mr. Bliss says all outstanding loans
margned up 20 20 per cent.
Evans left Boston to be gone on n fish
ing trip a few days ago. Nothing has
been heard from him since He was ap-
parently the last man who would com

Two sessions will probably be held, one in
the afternoon and another in the evening.
-There are now in the city two tailors'
unions-one composed of men and the
other of women, but for some time past
a movement has been on foot to have the
organizations consolidated and this will
be accomplished on Tuesday evening,
Nov 3, when the Ladies Tailoring Pro
tective Association will be merged into
the Journeymen Tailors Protective Union.
This latter organization is a branch
of the Journeymen Tailors' Union
of America, one of the strongest interna-
tional trades unions on the North Ameri-
can Continent. The Ladies' Tailoring
Protective Association has been in exist
ence about eleven years, and has always
worked in harmony with the mems union.
The object of the present amalgamation is
To raise the standard of wages for the wo-
men, and to do away with the disastrous
results 10 the craft in general growing out
of the employment of women at low prices
by cheap custom tailors.
In Toronto and elsewhere in Canada a
revival of interest has begun in labor or
CARNATIONS, and the unions are every
where increasing in number and strength.
n numDcf OF OrganlLcu Dakers IN Lon

society under the title of "The Work

and now organizations of shoemakers,
cigarmakers, hatters, millers, painters.
tailors and cartmen are about to follow
their example.
Trades unions with membership of
over $4,000 have been formed in Paris since
the International Labor Congress met az
Brussels, as result of the influence then
put in motion. Central unions nave also
been formed in many of the most import
ant industrial centers in France

ABOUT PRECIPITATION.
No Plans Have Been Made Because There
H. No Appropriation.

Commissioners of Public Works Smith
said to-day that the only action ever taken
by the City Council in the matter of pre-
cipitation tanks was the acceptance of
City Engineer Gray's general plan and
ordering definite plans made That was
when the City Engineers department was
independent of the Department of Public
Works An extra appropriation was ex-
pected, but never made. The plans have
never been commenced because the City
Engineers department has had all the
work il could do on the new improve
ments, streets, Fruit Hill reservoir, etc,
with the appropriations which have been
made.
The commissioner is pushing the work
on the improved sewerage system and is
taking care of the sewage from the Cor
ham Manufacturing Company's works by
pumping il into tank and carting il off.
