BREWSTER COMPANY BREAKS.

The Famous Carriage Builders
Forced to Make an Assignment.
New York, Oct 12-J. B. Brewster &,
Co, incorporated. manufacturers of car
riages. with a warehouse at No. 4s9 Fifth
avenue, made an assignment to-day to
John A. Carver. The officers of the COM
pany are Joseph c. Smith, president, and
r. Chuyler Tucker, secretary and treas
urer. The failure was not altogether I'M
expected. J. b. Brewster, the head of the
f1rm, Is now 50 years Of age, and latterly
has not given close personal attention 10
the details of the business.
The failure marks an epoch in the his
tory OF carriage bulIding, for the Brews-
TER s, for almost a century past, have been
the most famous carriage builders in the
world
Arthur b. Duncan, one Of the assistant
managers of the firm Of j. b. Brewster K,
Co. while speaking of the assignment to-
day TO reporter, said that the liabilities
would probably amount to $50, 600 and the
assets would almost reach that figure.

RICE COMING IN RAPIDLY.
The Weather Suits the Planters and
the Season IA Good One.

the Season Good One.
The long dry spell has proven very IA
vorable to the harvesting of the rice crop,
which has gone along rapidly. The last of
the late rice is now being cut and stacked
in the fields and the work of thrashing out
and forwarding to the mills is going on
rapidly.
This is one year on which the rice crop
has fulfilled expectations. The yield per
acre has been good and the quality is uni
formly excellent. The prices are not quite
as high as the planters would like to have
them, but considering the very large crop
which has been produced in Louisiana,
they can hardly complain. The bulk of
the crop in the Savannah territory will not
be in until January l, by which time the
receipts will probably reach $4,000 bushels.
The year has really been a remarkable
one with the rice planters. There were no
freshets in the spring to damage the
growing crop, and no storms in the fall to
injure and scatter the grain after the crop
had been made

An Agreement Which May XIII the

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. 12.-The joint con-
vention of operators and miners conclud-
ed its work this morning, by adopting the
report of the committee on dead work.
This report recommended the wage scale
of 1892, whereby the pay is increased and
decreased in proportion to the price paid
to the miners. The resolution fixing the
cifferential rate on and after January.
presented last evening and which was
withdrawn, was again offered this morn

adopted. 1t provides that on and after
Jan. J, 1896, the proper differential pay
ment between cash and store orders for
mining coal shall be twenty cents per

be the death knell TO the company store

Jersey City, N. j., Oct. 10.-By a singu-
lar error the body of John Kelly, a stone
mason, and in life Roman Catholic, lies
in Protestant cemetery at Flower Hill,

The men died within an hour Of each

DURRANT is DISCHARGED
His Name Stricken From the
Rolls of the Signal Corps
With Dishonor.
On Recommendation of the Corps Com.
mander General Warfeld Issues
the Order.

Theodore Durrant, under sentence OF
death for the murder of Blanche Lamont,
has been dishonorably discharged from the
Signal Corps of the Second Brigade of the
National Guard In general orders, No. 8,
issued by the adjutant-general. dated
December II, General Warfeld dispenses
with Durrant's services to the State in the
following language:
Musician W. II. T.. Durrant Signal Corps,
Second Brigade, n. G.. c.. having been convict
ed of felony in civil court of the State OF Cal
ifornia, is hereby dishonorably discharged
from the service of the State OF California.
This action was taken in consequence OF
official notice sent to General Wartield by
Captain Boardman of the Signal Corps OF
the fact of conviction, in accordance with
the section OF the Civil Code which pre-
scribes that any member of the National
Guard convicted of felony shall be dis
honorably discharged.
The members of the Signal Corps have
been notably loyal to their former COM
rade ever since his arrest. A number OF
them have stoutly maintained that he was
innocent and one or two have rendered
him assistance in the case. Many OF them
visited him while in Jail. None of the
members would consent to give out any
information that would tend to hurt him,
refusing simply and firmly to talk to peo-
pIe seeking evidence a ainst him. Now
that he has been convicted they feel that
for the honor of the corps Durrant must
be dropped from the roll, and so the notiti-
cation was sent to the commander OF the
brigade.

others paid on commission. And yet
there was no sparring with words as at
former gatherings of the insurance men
rather the prevailing sentiment was IN
favor of adopting system satisfactory to
all concerned, SO that rates may be ad-
vanced to their previous standard and
maintained there. The discussion was
continued till to-day.
Caesar Bertheau was appointed yesterday

the Protestants TO prove that the offshoot

Catholic countries. There is, believe no

New Appointments.

The new Pacific Insurance Union held
an adjourned meeting yesterday and took
up the question of compensation for
agents. Though no conclusion was
reached as the result of the insurance
mems deliberations the discussion show ed
that anything like the od-time feeling on
that question had practically disappeared.
At least it was apparent, as an under
writer stated after the meeting had ad-
Journed, that feeling over compensation of
agents had been chastened to a remark
able degree by the experience of the recent
rate war.
