The failure is one Of the largest since
the panic of 1907. not SO much as liabilities
are concerned. but in view of the import
ance of the firm which has branches in
Chicago. Boston and Worcester.
The firm was founded in 1898 by Harvey
Edward Fisk, eldest son of Harvey Fisk.
a banker and by George Robinson. who
had been in the employ of the banking
firm Of Harvey Fisk & Sons.
Mr.. Robinson is a member Of the stock
exchange, but the business Of the firm
was principally banking and the floating
OF bonds. The petition in bankruptcy
was nled with the full consent of the
firm, its members having concluded that
this was the only way to avoid further
losses for itself and its creditors.
A statement issued by the receiver to-
night says the firms secured obligations
will approximate 100000 and that the
unsecured debts viii exceed S1.O0H0OO
Little surprise at the failure was mani
Tested In banking circles. where it was
said the firm had received several extern
sions of credit in the past year. In ad-
dltlon to the securities mentioned, the
firm also was identified with number
OF small railways and several Independent
telephone companies in Pennsylvania ant
Ohio. Among the roads whose bond issues
1t endeavOred TO float, were the LOuisi-
ana & Arkansas railway. San Antonio
Arkansas Pass 4 Gulf & Ship Island These
issues have had no satisfactory market
and added 20 the drain on the firms re
sources
The high cost Of living Indirectly caused
the failure, according to Joseph Stanley
Brown, manager of the New York office
He said that il was becoming more diff
cult every DAY to sell bonds because the
high cost Of living has driven investors
TO search for securities that bring a high
er income than that offered by bonds.

MONTANA TOWN ABLAzE
Marysville, One of the Old-Time Min.
ing Camps, in Great Danger of
Destruction.

Helena, Mont, Fen lit is reported
here that the town of Marysville, twenty
miles southwest OF this city, is burning
down. The Helena fire department has
started on a special train for Marysviile.
1t Is said that the fire started about S
o'clock tonight IN the Pasco restaurant
and rapidly spread in the direction OF
the railway station. AS there is no wa
ter supply in the town, citizens were I'M
able to fight the flames and have had
recourse to tearing down buildings in the
path of the fire.
At midnight all communication with
Marysville was cut off. The depot in
which the Western Union telegraph office
was located is burned. and Schaffert's
store. which contained the telephone Of
flee. is also destroyed A rough estimate
Of the losses, made by residents of Hell
ena who are familiar with the town of
MarysVille, places IL in the neighborhood
Of 100000. Apparently the entire business
section Of the town has been ruined by
the fire.

PLAN WITH TWO ENDS
Why Expected Battle Has Not Taken
Place in Nicaragua.

Washington. Feb. 1.-The censorship OF
President MadriZ OF kilograms at San
Juan del Sur has been extended to the
mails from Managua. Business interests
represented here have received no mail
from Managua for more than q month.
According TO advices received through
spies who have been sent among the
Madriz troops and into Managua, the city
is becoming restless under military rule.
1t is said the delay of the rebel general,
ChamOrrO, in forcing a fight at Acoyapa
is part Of a plan with two ends.
Chamorro is said to be playing a wait
ing game within striking distance of Man
aqua, while the TevolutiOnist party in the
city causes an uprising there.
1t seems to be understood that the
United States has no further interest in
former President Zelaya's movements so
long as he keeps out OF Nicaragua Until
he sails from Vera Cruz, Mexico, for
Europe, as he is expected to do shortly,
the state department doubtless will be
informed Of his movements.

DrakesbOTO, Ky. Feb. Ten men are
known TO be dead and seventeen others
are missing, presumed to be penned up in
entries by falls of slate, as a result of d
gas explosion in the BrOdeT mine, one and
d half miles from DrakesbOro' at noon
today.
AT 5 O'Clock tonight. eight bodies had
been recovered. all horribly mutiiated
and some past Identification.
The accumulation of gases in the entry
where the explosion occurred, lao feet be
meath the surface and 200 feet back from
the mine shaft. made it impossible to be
gin active rescue work until six hours
after the disaster occurred.
Damage to the mine, investigating par
ties have discovered. was not material
as il was confined TO the east entry. One
hundred men were IN the mine at the
time of the explosion, more than half in
the west entry. All FASTENED to the ca ges
and were quickly drawn to the top. Later
all in the cast entry except the unfOrt-
innate . fought their way to the shaft
and were brought to safety.
As soon as il was safe to begin the res
cue work. miners were sent down in re-
LAYS under the direction of J. Aber-
CrOmbie. mine foreman, and q. Reynolds,
mine superintendent.
In the immediate vicinity Of the expiO-
sion ten men had been working. The
conclusion threw the bodies many feet.
What caused the ignition of the gases
has not been asCertained The other men
were IN entries only a few feet from the
workings where there was the greatest
loss of life, and searching parties have
believed all the men entombed there are
dead
