Failure In Joliet. III.

JOLIET, ILL.,, June 5.-The old veteran
stone company of Sanger. Moody &
Steel made an assignment in favor of
their creditors, with assets aggregating
sl77,70o and liabilities only $4,000.
The bulk of the liabilities are with
the bank, which are more than
secured by trust deeds. The firm
was compelled to assign because
they could not get money to go ahead
with their business and could not sell
their stone. The government owes
them $4,000, which they cannot get,
and with the banks pressing them for
money they were forced to surrender,

AN OLD BANK ASSIGNS.

Hermann schanner Co., Of Chica go
Forced to SukpeDd-The Senior Partner
Missing.
CHICAGO, June 5.-Herman Schaffner
& Co., the oldest and largest
private bankers in the west, did
not open their doors in the Title and
Trust building Saturday and the news
that the institution was insolvent was
soon the talk of the town. To add to
The excitement came the report that
MIR. Schaffner, one of the best known
men in Chicago and one of the
most popular of the Jewish race,
could not be found, the result of
the report being the rumor that
the banker had becu ne insane over his
troubles or had taken his own life The
banking firm made an assignment in
the county court at 1910 a. m. In the
absence of q statement by the as
signes it is given out, but not
authoritatively, by those concerned
that the liabilities of the concern will
not exceed $500, 600 and that the assets
more than cover the amount,
Mr.. Schaffner's family have offered
a reward of $500 for information as to
the missing mans whereabouts. The
bank had been in business since 1878.
Herman Schaffner and A. G. Becker
composed the firm. The bank trans
acted but little deposit business. Its
speciality was the handling of CONNER
cial paper. In this way the firm is
reported to have handled in the last
year ss5 100000 worth of paper. The
assignment was made, it is said, from
the fear that when the fact of Schaff-
ner's disappearance became public there
would be a run on the bank.

EAGLE PASS, Tex, juno 6-Firc
broke. out ut I o'cloclk p. m. Saturday
In the Fuente coal mine on the line Of
the Mexican National railway, on tho
banks of the Rio Escondhido river.
About one-half Of the miners were
working near the main tunnel and these
made their escape, leaving twenty-six
of their number: to perish by the heat
and smoke and from the poisonous
gases, which spread like lightning to
every portion of the mines.
There are twenty-six chambers in the
mine, and the dead miners are supposed
to be well to the front of the mine. At
IL o'clock Sunday one body had been
recovered from the seventh chamber.
and shortly after another, fearfullv
scorched and blackened, was brought
to the surface. The tenth chamber has
been reached, and men with ropes
tied to their bodies, to effect
their rescue if overcome BY heat
and smoke, are fighting their way to
where the bodies of their dead COM
rades are lying. Superintendent George
Spence ventured in too far and was
overcome by heat and smoke. He was
Frustrated, but was rescused. 1t is be-
ieved that tonight the mine will be
cleared of the heat and smoke, which
at present it is impossible to cope with,
and that all the bodies will be recov-
cred.
Large numbers of the Trends and
relatives of the unfortunate miners are
gathered at the mouth of the mine
mutely awaiting the. recovery of the
bodies of their sons and husbands.
When body is taken out there is
an outburst of grief, and q look of
quiet resignation and deep grief appears
upon every countenance. Hundreds of
people from Eagle Pass and Piedras
Negras have visited the scene, and the
smoke still issuing from the airshafts
impresses on all the folly of hoping any
OF the men may be taken out alive.
All the miners employed were Mexi.
cans and most of them leave destitute
families. 1t is reported that all the
parties responsible for the manage
ment of the mines have been placed un-
der arrest pending an investigation of
the causes of the disaster. This is the
first great disaster in the history of coal
mining in Mexico.
