FAILURES IN NEW YORK.

Theodore g. Baron Co. Go to the Wall
and Carry Another Firm with Them.
NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-There were two
assignments Friday, one the outcome
of the other. Theodore 5. Baron and
Samuel Baron, copartners under the
firm name of Theodore S. Baron & Co., il,
manufacturers of knit underwear in
this city, and their mill in Gyms
street, Brooklyn, assigned. 1t is said
the liabilities will reach $l25, 900, with
nominal assets to equal that amount.
The firm has paid out during the last
three years about $4,000 for improved
machinery. This failure forced the
firm of s. Baron & Co., COM
prised of Samuel Baron and
Max Straus, manufacturers of knit
goods at the same address, to the
wall. and they also assigned. The liza
bilities are said to be about $3.50, 900;
assets, $l25, 600. The assignments are
attributed to the uncertainty of the
9arif legislation. the general financial
depression and the inability to make
profitable sales.

SHICHI GEN, Corea, via San Francis

been fought at Song Hwan. The Chi
nese have very strong Notifications,
and 1900 troops were said to be sta

mined to capture the arms and pro-
visions and deceived the enemy by a
clever bit of strategy. They gave
out that they were going to
march back to Asan, and, in fact,
did parade for a considerable distance
in that direction; but no sooner
were they convinced of the success
of their scheme in making the Chinese
believe they had left the settlement
than they marched with a rush straight
up to the Notifications and, attacking
in body, made clean sweep of

Failure Of Corn Crop In Kansas and Me-
braska Causes No Busines.
ST. JOSEPH, NO., Aug. 1.-THE dam
age to the corn crop in parts of Kan
sas and Nebraska is SO great that the
st. Joseph & Grand Island railroad
has issued orders for the abandonment
ofover dozen stations on it's lines. The
officers of the road say the stations are
not abandoned permanently, although
there is little probability of their be-
ing reopened until another crop is as
sured. The people along the line in
the sections where the stations are
closed depended almost entirely on the
corn crop and now are leaving in great
numbers, and there is absolutely no
business for the railroads.

"Palaco Cars"


Under this head are comprised sleeping,
hotel. dining, drawing room, private, hunt
ing and composite cars. As long ago As
1886, the first attempt to provide sleeping
accommodations on train was made on
tho Cumberland Valley railroad, in PENN
sylvania. The train from Harrisburg ar
rived at Chambersburg at night, and many
travellers desired to go Immediately through
to Philadelphia. A car was fitted up with
stationary hunks, such as are in use on
steamboats,. and was divided into four Sec
ti0ns, each having three berths, upper, mid
die and lower. Each passenger was ex-
pected to furnish his own bedding. The
first regular sleeping car, built according
to present ideas, was constructed by Q man
named Thompson, at Springfield, Mass, in
1857 or 1858. This car was bought from
Thompson by the late Webster Wagner,
then wagon maker, and from this has de-
veloped the great Wagner Palace Car COM
pany. Geo. NJ. Pullman is another of the
pioneers in the business Of making travel
luxurious, and his cars are known all over
the world. Another early inventor was
Woodruff. who made considerable money
on his patents, by royalties paid by both
the Pullman and Wagner companies. Sleep
ing cars were first used in the state of New
York in 1859. The Burlington Route
trains contain the finest products of the
Pullman company in the way of sleeping
cars OF the most modern kind. and az to
dining cars, they long since had the title of
peerless bestowed on them by the delighted
public. For tickets, maps and time tables

One of the most cowardly of all the
disreputable acts performed by the
managers of the Republican party in
Logan county was the trick they per-
petrated upon their own party in the
recent representative convention for
the Thirteenth district held in this
city. A resolution was presented to
the resolutions committee demanding
legislation To provide for mixed
schools in the territory. The commit
tee, which was composed of lily whites,
refused 10 entertain or report the res
oluuon TO the convention. When IL
was presented TO the convention by
the negroes who had urged it upon
the co nmittee, and its adoption de-
maDded. the white managers sat as
dumb as clans, neither favoring nor
opposing 1t, aud it was adopted by the
convention without a dissenting vote
or voice. When the proceedings OF

great outpouring of people at many of
the points where Gov. Mckinley was

IS the absence of anything else to

disqualifying him for delegate to con-
gress, n Republican paper is trying to
work up a little prejudice by charging
that Mr. Wisby was attorney for
Malone and his confederates who were
dismissed from the Perry land office
for malfeasance. Such demagogy is
contemplate and disgusting to decent
people, regardless of politics As well
charge an attorney with sympathizing
with murder because he defends a
murderer before the court, or with
being a malefactor because he has for
a client person charged with any
other sort OF olfense. Such a thing is

TIE Republicans of Logan county
have nothing to commend their candi-
dates to the people but party tradi-
tions of the long ago. The burden of
debt upon the county and the present
cramped condition of the county's
finances are largely the result of that
partys mismanagement, and worse, of
the county's affairs. And the make
up of their ticket, in the main, does
not argue any improvement in the
future should that ticket be elected.
This is a matter of business; it affects
every citizen who pays a dollar of
taxes or owns foot OF property, in
view of which it behooves every one
to lay aside party bias and select capa-
BILE and Trustworthy men for the diff
ferent county offices. AS such the
Democrats present and guarantee their
