to Assign-Other Firms in Trouble.
BosToN, May 26.-Richardson & Den
ME, dealers in hides, have failed. The
firm was rated at 100000. It is not
believed the liabilities will exceed
$780, The assignees are the book
keeper and Lawyer Coolidge. 1t is
said by those who are active in the
leather trade that the cause of the fail
ure of: Richardson & Donnie may be
traced to the sole leather combine. The
firm has been large importer Of hides,
and, as one man put it, ''the combine
knocked the feet out from under them"
The following firms and individuals
are involved and have failed; Phelps &
Lombard, dealers in light leather, 70
High street, with factory at 1890 Ire
mont street; William S. Richardson,
dealer in upper leather, 81 High street;
John A. Lord, currier, of Salem. As
soon as statements can be prepared the
ere ditors will be called together to take
action.

twice through the breast by Miller and
Miller was shot through the hand.

on the floor and a physician summoned,
