The failure of Quigley & Mullen, whole
sale grocers, who have been engaged doing
business at No. l07 Market street for the
past twelve years, will be tina means OF
closing up several other grocery stores IN
our city. Already over 1000 have been
entered against the firm at the Court
House, with more judgments to follow.
The firm had always done big business
and were supposed to BIO making money.
They did as much as half a million dollars
worth of business in year and were
hustling firm. Their failure is attributed
indirectly to the collapse of the Golden
Sceptre Mining Company, in which both
members of the firm were largely inter
ested, Mr. Mullen being secretary and Mr..
Quigley business manager. The crash
has been coming on for some time and the
firm has been hard pressed for ready cash.
Some say as much as fifty thousand dol.
lars worth Of stock In the Mining Com
pany was held by the firm. BE 1t as 1t
may, their store doors were closed Thurs
day afternoon by Sheriff Finn, the news
papers knowing of the collapse before the
sheriff. The REPUBLICAN, knew of the
straight the firm was in some three weeks
agj but was hopeful that the firm might
be able to pull through. The firm has
confessed Judgment, making the different
banks preferred creditors. We hope that
there will be more for the creditors, when
the affairs Of the firm are wound up, than
there was for the creditors Of the defunct
banking firm Of Head s. Co. With good
management it is said the firm will be
able to pay nearly dollar for dollar to
everybody they are debtors to. This is
one Of the most disastrous failures that
has taken place in our city for several
years, as it will carry down large mum
bers Of small corner grocers.

ANOTHER good man has gotten himself
into trouble, aud all for his fondness for
Kissing the girls. The Rev. Thomas p.
Hughes, rector Of the Church Of the Holy
Sepulchre In New York, Is on trial charged
with assaulting one Of the former mem
bers of the Sunday school, Mary Slavak.
The assault consisted Of kissing Mary, a
comedy girl of 10 years. The damages are
placed at 10000. The minister's plea was
that he had only given the child fatherly
kiss, nothing more and that the whole
case was one Of blackmail.
Here are several Of the questions asked
the minister by the plaintiffs counsel;
What is your limit on age as to kiss
ing, doctors"
II have none"
when does a child become woman in
kissingY"
II do not know, make no inquiries as
to age"
What kind of kiss do you give themP
such as father gives to Il little child"
How many times in u year do you kiss
the girlsf"
Il do not know
What per cent. get kisses, and what
per cent. esoape?"
II do not know"
Witnesses were then called with d view
to showing that the Slavaks wanted to
blackmall DR.. Hughes. A statement has

are denounced as Infamous.
