sHELDEN 8 90. SUSPEND.
Tho Dig Coffee and ToH Merchants Fail.
Financial Circle Surprised.


New YoRK, June 22.-Henry Sheldon
& Co., coffee and tea merchants and
dealers, failed this afternoon. The law
firm of Taylor & Parker has been put in
charge OF the house and will endeavor
US soon as possible to settle with the
many creditors. The announcement Of
the failure caused great surprise in
financial circles, for the firm is one Of
the best known down town and did u
largo business.
At the office Of Lawyers Taylor and
Parker it was said that Sheldon & Co.
had decided to suspend in preference
to making any formal assignment,
1.-THE firm will have to close up its
business" said ono of tho lawyers in
the office. '"Wo have not an exact idea
Just yet rs to the value Of the assets, but
they will run up to considerable sum.
"The liabilities will amount to $780,
600 at least. Tho cause Of tho failure
was not speculation in the coffee mar
ket, for the Sheldons always refrained
from spcculating
at is all due to the stringency in the
money market Like a good many
other business houses they felt tho need
Of more ready cash than was available
"The firm will not continue business
In all probability but will endeavor to
realize on the assets sufficiently to pay
reasonable percentage to all the
creditors. They arc highly rated in the
commercial agencies, and the resources
are between 100000 and $900,0O

DAILY, the former sparring partner OF
Jim Corbett, had, OF course, a large fol-
lowing, but Joe Butler, from Phtladel-
phia, had good backing,
Leonard was the stronger in the
ninth, and after opening up big cash
in Reynolds cheek, pounded him about
the ring until he had him out.
The men had scarcely left the ring
when Billy Vernon and Billy Ernst ap'
peared upon the stage.
This was a purely scientific contest,
no rushing or mixing things up, Both
mon were quick as cats, A lead in
variably got a return counter, and three
rounds were fought with both men
smiling and the fight anybody's.
In the eighth and last round Ernst
went at his man in q determined man
ner. He showered right.handers upon
Vernon until he knocked him out, and
he had to be carried from the ring,
The final bout Of the evening between
Jim DAILY, OF Buffalo, and Joe Butler, OF
Philadelphia, was put on at 1880 p. IN,
It was to twenty rounds or more for
$500. In the fifth round DAILY was
knocked down seven times more in
rapid succession before he was put out,
each time growing weaker and weaker,
The time OF the last round was two
minutes and ten seconds.

Hill Wylle, the Long-DIstanCe Bicycle
Racer, Arrives.
Thirty hours behind time covered
with the mud Of lightweight miles OF
the national pike, tho record.breaking
bicycle tourist, Hill Wylie, arrived in
the city last evening at $3.50 o'clock. He
lost nearly twenty-iour hours in Mary
land on account OF the bull.headed ac-
tion of the Chesapeake canal authors
ties, who refused to allow him to ride
on tho towpath. He was thus COM
PEELED to wheel some and walk the
greater part of tho very rough roads of
that very wild region. From Cumber-
land on over the Alleghanies he made
very nearly schedule time, and arrived
at farmhouse twenty miles east OF
Uniontown Wednesday night, Starting
early yesterday morning, before break
fast, he rode into Uniontown, reach
ing that point at 7 o'clock. He did not
linger there long, but proceeded on his
long journey westward. lie arrived at
Washington about noon, but in the
afternoon he encountered both rain
and muddy roads. Taking everything
into consideration, Wylie's ride yester-
day OF lightweight miles is a remark
able one.
An INTELLldENcER reporter saw him
soon after his arrival here last evening
and asked what he thought OF his pros
poets OF getting into Chicago on sched-
ule time, next Monday evening. Wylie
replied that he thought he would do
this, as he had already gone over the
worst roads on his route. He said he
would start out again this morning at 8
o'clock, aud would ride probably 125
miles to Columbus. To reach the
Windy City within the ton days he will
have to do at least 1875 miles each day.
Wylie's arrival in tho city has been
awaited with interest by the wheelmen
and the people generally, and when he
rode up in front Of the Van Keuren last
evening there were probably fifty peo-
pie waiting, and this crowd soon in
creased to over hundred. Tho tourist,
after taking BATH and refreshments,
retired for the night, so as to recuperate
as much as possible for his carly start
this morning.
Wylio is riding a 2s.pound Stirling
safety, with racing pneumatic tires,
which 80 far has stood up all right un-
der the hard usage to which 1t has been
subjected on tho race. He is being

It's Establishment one of tho First Things
to be Brought Before Congress.
WASHINGTON, D. O., June 29.-one Of
the first matters of importance that
will be presented to tho next Congress
will be a bill, already framed, providing
for tho establishment OF q national
board OF health, with headquarters in
this city. The board, as devised by the
projectors, is to cooperate with the
state and municipal authorities in the
matter of sanitary improvements, to be
presided over by II physician whose
tenure shall only be terminated by
death, misdemeanor or inefliciency. Its
executive committee will be chosen by
the President OF tho United States from
tho state aud neutrality-suspicious.,
and in addition ia to have as members
the surgeons general OF the army, navy
and marine hospital service.
The body Of the national board is to
consist OF u representative Of the medi.
cal profession OF each state and terri
tory, appointed by the President on ac.
count Of his special fitness for the du-
ties of his position, and for a term Of
not less than six years This national
board is to meet in this city not oftener
than once in two years, unless spe-
cially convened in some great emer.
genCy. The boldest feature OF tho
proposition, and the one most likely to
result in serious controversy, is that
which bestows upon the board legisla.
tive, judicial and executive powers Of
an independent character.
