ANOTHER FIRM
CARRIED DOWN
Failure of Denison, Prior & Co. at
Cleveland, o., Causes Suspension
of Parsons, Snyder & Go.

Cleveland, O., Jan. 1S.-Parsons, Sny-
der & Co.. stock and grain brokers,
with offices in the HoIenden hotel,
made an assignment this morning to
]. A. Smith, an attorney.
Parsons, Snyder & Co. are members
of the Cleveland stock exchange and of
the consolidated exchange in New York.
1t is stated that they did much busi-
ness for Leland w. Prior, who commit
ted suicide Tuesday.
Sampson W. Parsons of the firm of
Parsons, Snyder & Co., arrived in
Cleveland today from Chicago. Through
his attorney he made the following
statement:
The firm of Parsons, Snyder & Co.
had banking connections with two New
York stock exchange firms. One was
Bartlett, Frazier & Darlington Of Chi
cagO, and the other was Denison, Prior
& Co. of this city. The news of the
failure of DenisOn, Prior & Co. neces-
sarily meant that no further business
could be done with that firm, as their
securities were tied up and that ar
rangements must be made to transfer
their accounts and continue business
awaiting the final settlement of Deni-
son, Prior g. Co.
at is impossible at this time to state
what the assets and liabilities are"
'It is understood that Denison, Prior
& Co. held as collateral about $751; 60
sons, Snyder q Co., and the suspen-
sion Of the former firm precipitated the
failure of the latter today.
The total liabilities of Parsons, Sny-
der & Co, it is believed, viii not exceed
$4,000.

SITUATION IN THE HOUSE IS GROWING INTERESTING
Passage Of the Joint Statehood MOnStrOSy Is Out Of the
Question = Representative Babcock at LoggerheadS
With Speaker Cannon.

He was assured that such was not
the case and the interview terminated
without disclosing more than the rad
zeal differences as to the bills which
are now the chief topic of conversation
about the house.
Members Of the insurgent faction
now maintain that sixty-three Repub-
licans are positively pledged to vote
against the proposed rule preventing
the amendment of the Hamilton joint
statehood bill. The insurgents insist
that their forces are gaining strength
at rapid rate, and declare that the
trouble between Mr.. BabcOck and the
speaker has cemented them more
closely.
Under present conditions the consid-
Grafton of the Hamilton bin is said to
be out Of the question. The admins
tration is firmly insisting on the pas
sage Of the joint statehood bill with
out modification. Compromise meas
ures are no longer under consideration
by the insurgents and statehood legis-
lation seems at a deadlock at present.
