Mason was member, filed in the United States district court yester- day voluntary petition in bankruptcy The surviving members of the firm are i Henry B., brother, and Henry E., a son of Edward G. Mason. Their lia- bilites, are estimated at more than $700,- 900, most of their creditors being Chi cago people Among the outside debts of the firm are one of S13,000 owing to l the trustees of the estate of Mary C.. ] Barnes of New York, and $32,000 owing to tha Connecticut Mutual Life Insur- ance company of Hartford Loans ne- gotiated by Peabody, Houghteling &r Co., of Chicago for the firm aggregate s110,OO00. The balance of the indebted ness is in small amounts, ranging from 5000 down to s50O
 1 The assets of the firm consists prn- cipaIly of notes and realty. The Mason building on Washington street is valued I $l10,00OO The balance of the indebted 1 Michigan avenue are estimated to be 1 worth $100,000, and an unlmproved tract I of land within the city limits Is sched- uled at $140,0 900.

 The firm of Mason Brothers was one 1 of the best known In the city. Most of the litigation in their hands related to real estate deals, and it was thought that they had most lucrative practice.
 The dead partner, Edward G. Mason, was i'll only a short time, and he had been mentioned as the probable success or of Judge Grosscup, in case the latter

THE GRIP EPIDEMIC.

Doctors Say 1t Will Probably Last All
 Winter
 The end of grip is not yet in sight, and according to statements by leading physicians the disageeable disease is here for an all winter siege, If the number of cases continues to increase daily during the rest of the winter in the same ratio with which its victims have, increased in numbers during the past week, those residents of the city who will not have been gripped will be few indeed
 Physicians say that the prevalence of the disease now resembles much the ep- idemic of 1892 and that before the win ter is over it's ravages will be fully as widespread as it was in that year. The disease as it prevails in New Haven at present is said by physicians to be of a nervous form rather than catarrhal. The symptoms are distressing head ache, backache, legache and chills, fol- lowed by fever and coughing and ner- vous prostration which lasts a long time. Some cases are as severe as were those in the winter of 1892. It is esti- mated that there are now in New Ha- ven between 4000 and 5000 cases of the malady.
