Three in a Bunch.

Chicago, Aug. 15.--Failures Of three
large firms having intimate financial re-
lations occurred today. involving liabil-
tiles aggregating 100000 The concerns
are George OBerne & Co., leather deal
ers; Henry NJ Hossick, one Of the best
known and Oldest wool dealers In the
city, and the Chicago and Western Soap
works, with factory and office at Kings
bury and Superior streets. This last
named concern was formerly known as
O'Berne, Hosick e. Co., but changed its
title in the early part of 1894.
The assets of George O'Berne & Co. are
placed at 100000, with liabilities at $685.
900. The same figures are given for Hen
ry M. Hosick, while the Chicago and
Western Soap works report liabilities
of $50, 1000, and makes no statement of as
sets.
The cause of failure in each case Is the
same-slowness Of collections and the
prevailing hard times.

BRYAN AT TARRYTOWN.
He Spent a Quiet, Uneventful Day-A State
ment Relative 10 the Preparation
of the Acceptance Speech.

Tarrytown, N. Y, Aug. 15.-Mr. Bryan
spent quiet, uneventful today at the
residence of John Brisban Walker, the
editor of the Cosmopolitan, at Irvington-
on-the- Hudson. With him as guests of
Mr. Walker are Mr.. Arthur sewall and
Mrs. Bryan. John w. Outright, formerly
of Lincoln, but recently of Galveston,
was appointed Mr.. Bryan's private secre-
tary today,
Mr.. Bryan this evening gave out the
following statement relative to the prep
aration of his speech of acceptance:
1.-The speech was written in Nebraska.
From the beginning l expected to read it,
but was almost persuaded to abandon the
idea after left home. Some insisted that
reading would be a disappointment to
those present. l appreciated the force OF
the suggestion, but finally concluded that
1t would be better to disappoint those
who listened than to risk an unfair or
partial report by the opposition press. In
writing the speech did not purposely fol-
low the plan of any former speech, but
made no attempt to avoid arguments or
Illustrations previously employed in dis
cussing the money question. My sole aim
was to crowd as much matter as possible
into the speech without making it too
long, and, therefore, l tried to- be brief in
statement. 1t was rewritten two or three
times, as new points or new arguments
suggested themselves. One copys was
brought Wi 4 me and one was sent by ex-
press to provide against loss. Two para
graphs which occurred to me on thu train
were added aftef l reached New York.
Only two persons saw the speech after
my arrival and they suggested no
changes"
Mr. Bryan further said that in future
editions of the Chicago speech the quota
ton marks would be omitted from the
sentence containing the metaphor OF
''cross of gold" 1t was mistake he
said to enclose the sentence in quotation
marks, as the words were not quoted
from anyone else.

SOME GOOD WORK
By the Fire Ladies', Which, Being Timely,
Prevented an Ugly Blaze in the Hirsch
Millinery Company Building.

At 1890 o'clock last night fire was dis
covered in the Hirsch Dry Goods and
Millinery company's establishment and a
telephone alarm and one from box %,
corner of First avenue and Twenty-first
street, was turned in.
The entire fire department promptly
responded and were soon on the scene.
Three lines of hose were laid but only
one stream was put in use, as the fire
was found to be in one locality and by
good and timely work the fire laddies
soon had 1t extinguished.
The store had been closed but a short
time when the fire was discovered. 1t
was found to be on the second floor, di-
rectly under the skylight, and it's origin
is mystery.
But little damage was done by the
flames and the greatest damage was by
water.
