carrying on their books. The firm of

S1,045,0 900, can be collected. They say

good the firm will be able to pay its
debts in full. The statement also says
that the firms embarrassment is entire
ly due to the failure of customers to
make good their margins.

the neighborhood of from 100000 to
100000. OF the Indebtedness it is said
100000 owed to various banks and

DEATH OF CHILD
CAUSED BY MOTHS
Infant Falls TO Pavement While
Watching Host of White
Winged Insects

NEW YORK, July 1S.-The host Of
white winged moths that again ap-
peared last evening caused the death
of one child. Frank Stevens, 8 years
old. The little boy stood at one of the
rear windows of his parents home on
the top floor of the house last night,
and jumped up and down when he saw
dow.
Finally the child, excited by the num-
bers of moths that flew about the win
dow, attracted by the light within,
climbed upon the window sill and, be-
fore his parents could save him, tunl-
bled to the yard beneath. He was al
most instantly killed.
The myriads of white moths that
have swept down the last two days,
thick enough in places to suggest a
summer snowstorm, are believed by
entomologists to be the descendants of
the great army of measuring worms
that afflicted New York in 1862 and
caused such concern that an associa-
tion of physicians was formed to de-
sign the destruction of the pests.
Professor BeutenmulIer of the Mu-
scum of Natural History, who has fol-
lowed the study of entomology for 80
years. never saw this particular spe-
cies before, and he is on terms of in
timacy with the entire bug family,
from the flea UP to the hardshell
pincher.
The clouds of moths that have swept
down Broadway did not stop to feed
in City Hall park. Only a small part
of the foliage of the trees was at
tackled. The flight was continued to
Battery park, where the insects clung
to tree trunks and branches while the
eggs of the female were deposited.
These eggs will go through a period
of incubation of 800 days and the but
terfiy that finally appears will live for
seven daVS
