ures-Less in Number, btu With
Increased Liabilities.
NEW YORK, March 31.-Bradstreet's
says: Business failures throughout the
United States during the last three months
number 5000, smaller total with one ex-
ception, than has been reported for eleven
years. The exception was the first quarter
of 1883 when the total was 3,05s. Last
year there were 3,2o7 failures during Jan
uary, February and March.
The total liabilities of individuals, firms
and corporations failing during the past
quarter aggregate $50, 424, s5S as compared
with $35, 1851, 749, In 1892, an increase of
about 9 per cent, while the falling off in
number of failures is trif1e over per
cent.
Total assets of failing traders for three
months this year amount to s20,510, 0S3,
an increase of about II per cent. The fall
past quarter in 1892 Is conspicuous in the
middle and southern states, although there
was slight decrease in the west and
northwest.
New England and the middle states fur
nished increased liabilities. There was a
trifing increase In liabilities in southern
states and small increase on the Pacific
coast, but there were reduced totals in
western and northwestern states and in
the territories.
The failure of house furnishing COM
pany in Massachusetts with $4,000, 000
liabilities and of a Pennsylvania iron con-
Germ with liabilities of 81, 1875, 900 nearly
account for the total net increase of liabili
ties during the past quarter. The failures
in Canada during the past three months
numbered 526, against 500 last year. Ag.
gregste liabilities amount to 81, 788, 900, or

WASHINGTON, March 3l.-General Hiram
Berdan, the inventor of the famous long.
range finder, torpedoes and rifle, died sud
denly at the Metropolitan club in this city
at 5:45p N. today. He had been Ill for
some time with angina pectoris. He ap.
psared in the club at o'clock and went
into the loggis, where he had a short con-
versation with the secretary of the club,
Major Sanger, to whom he remarked he
was not feeling very well. A few minutes
later he engaged in a game of chess with
Admiral Crosby. Suddenly his head
dropped and he began to breathe heavily,
and expired almost instantly. Drs. Muir
ray and Rosse were summoned Immediately
but could render no assistance The pres
ident of the club, Judge Davis, and several
members were about the general at the
time. General Berdan was born at PIym-
outh, Mich, about 1928.
General Berdan enjoyed h1gh social as
we'll as official distinction. He was colonel
of the First United States sharpshooters in
November, 1861, and was brevetted brig
adler general of volunteers for gallant and
meritorious conduct in the battle of Chan
cellorsville and major of volunteers for
bravery at the battle of Gettysburg.
General Berdan was for several years in
Russia and because of his services to that
government he was awarded considerable
money. He entered into contracts for
furnishing the cars army with large cup
plies of the rife bearing his name. A
daughter of General Berdan was married
to F. Marion Crawford, the well known
writer, who met her in Russia.
General Berdsn's death was at first at
tributed to heart disease, but a physician
who was hastily summoned considered 1t
due to cerebral hemorrsge or apoplsxy.

ness the sport, including many of the fair

ors and applaudsd the playing of their ia
vorites. Only eight innings were played.
While the Yale put up good fielding
game they were rather weak at bat. Two
of these, however, were home runs.
Stephenson and Bigelow were the only
Yale men to get more than one hit. The
fielding of Rustin at third, Bigelow In
left, Arbuthnot at short and Jackson be-
hind the bat was of high order. Case
pitched the first five innings and he was

Attempt TO Deral n Southern Pacias
Passenger Train Thwarted By q
Piucky MISUNDERSTANDING and
Reward ef the Rescuer.
PORTLAND, Ogu., March 31.-An at
tempt was made last night to wreck the
northbound passenger train on the South
ern Pacific road near Drain. About o
o'clock last night George Z. Richardson, Q
laborer, started from Drain to Roseburg
on foot. At the end of a trestle, q short
distance from him, he found q rail taken
from the track. While he was consider
log what he should do five men appeared
on the trestls and one of them attacked
Richardson, beating and cutting him
severely Another struck him on the
head with revolver, cutting his head
and knocking him senseless. They then
puehed him of the bridge twenty fivs
feet below and he lay unconscious for
over an hour. He crswlsd from the
gulch, made his way down the
track and met the overland train
at 1:26 this morning. Setting ere to his
handkerchief he waved 1t as q signal
and the train stopped. The trainmen
picked up Richardson In q very exhausted
condition. He told his story and the men
found the rail gone. Had the train been
wrecked at that point the wreck would
have been disastrous one. The passen-
gers made up purse of 500 for Rishard-
son. Many believe the wreckers' purpose
was not robbery, but revenge on the road
for the discharge of white section hands
and the employing of Japanese.
