Failure Of Marauand & Co.


New York, June 2S.-The firm of
Henry Marquand & Co., one OF the
most substantial brokerage firms in
Wall street, has assigned. Until quite
recently not breath of suspicion was
raised as to their financial stability.
IL was foregone conclusion yesterday
that Marqusnd & Co.. would be forced
to suspend because of the tangled con-
dition of it's affairs, and the publicity
given them through the troubles of the
Seventh National Bank. Because Of
the Independent coal project in which
it was engaged. the firm brought on, 80
1t is claimed, the enmity of the coal
trust. 1t was said yesterday they had
received several hards knocks from
that source in the last two years. The
failure is heavy one and will run up
into the millions. A statement of the
firms affairs will be Issued latter In the
day. Bankers do not believed the
financial trouble will 60 any further.
With the failure of Marqusnd & Go.
and the Seventh National, they say,
the worst ia past.
1t is learned this afternoon that Hen
ry Marqusnd, senior, offered to advance
the firm 81 100000 to tide 1t over. An
examination OF the accounts, however,
showed that this would not save the
firm and 1t was decided to assign.
New York, June 28.-The Pittsburg,
Shawmut and Northern railroad which
caused the failure of Marquand & Co.,
is small line. Starting at Coal
Spring, Pa, it runs for 1853 miles
through Pennsylvania coal fields. and

proposed destination, when completed
will be at some point on Lake Ontario.

ic, perhaps, says n London paper. lie,
by virtue of the security of his title.
is the marshal Of England and at all
royal functions of u public character
acts ms marshal of the day. A we'll
known woman Of quality had n house
near Arundel, and when she aud her
family were removing to London the
duke contemplated buying the place
rs u house for u member Of his family.
One morning Mrs. -- was In her bed
room shortly after breakfast, when u
servant came up Ia tell her that u
messenger had called from the castle.
"Whcre IL hc?" she asked. "Oh! he's
In the hall. ma'am." knowing the
dukes habits of activity In the coun-
try she felt some misgivings and hur-
ricd downstairs 10 find the earl-mar-
shal Of England sitting quite patiently
ON u hall chair with his hat In his
hands. She overwhelmed him with
apologies. of course, hut the duke was
mos, amused and laughingly said that
he delighted In an appearance which
protected him from attentions which
would make his life burdcnsome.

such air as Trafalgar square afforded:
he. apparently. with some definite and
almost sinister resolve. The square
was in one of its golden moods; the
pigeons about the National gallery
struited and shonc gallnnily: the idle
fountains looked as though they
might have spoutcd golden rain. But
these things were not for my fellow

patent leather boots shamrd them.
