Erotect

Peters has boon forced to niako an assign* mont to A. M. Henry, of Detroit Mr. Petors was a hoavy doalor in lumber and salt and was Interested In a score of enterprises. Tho failuro is tho largost financial craBh In Michigan for many years. Tho assignment covers millIons of dollars' worth of property and VTill bo far-roachlng In its effects. Meigs & Co., lumbermen, and Dunham & Co., of Grand Rapids, and tho Fifth National Hank of the samo city, aro all interested in tho collapso. A bill of sale of a half interest In tho wholesalo firm of Lemon & rotors, of Grand itapids, was filed Thursday morn. 'n(f by R. G. Petors in favor of O. M. Davison, of Detroit. Tho Bale calls for S40,000, and was glvon to

tho Dotroit National Hank and eneral Alger. No schedule of assets or liabilities has been filed horo as yet. From outside but reliable sources It Is learned that tho liabilities will bo fully 83,000,000.

The failuro is the biggest that has oocurred In tho Northwest for somo yoara. Tho plnnt here has made enormous profits, but the outsldo venturos as a rule havo been dlsnstrous, especially tho Southern venturos, which absorbed an enormous amount of capital without mucb returns. R. O. Peters owns 78,000 of the 80,000 shares of the U. G. Peters Halt and Lumbor Company, whioh it) capitalized at S2,000,000, and whose last annual report showed real and personal property of 52.500,000 and credits of 8143.52-1, whllo the debts reachod $510,R78.

Besides being- president of tho Potors Salt & Lumber Company: of Manistee, Mr. Peters is a member of tho firm of Dunham. Potors .fc Co., of Chaso and Grand Rapids. He owns a two-fifths Interest in the Stronach Lumber Company of Manistee, a half Interest in tho firm of Butters, Peters & Co., of Ludington, a loading interest in tho lumbor firm of Potors & Morrison, which controls 15,000 acres of land at Menominee and 150,000 acros pf land in various States. lie is also president of tto Manisteo National Bank and a director of tho Filth National Bank of Grand Rapids, fie also owns personally 100,000 acros of timber lands In Alabama and the Carollnaa,

Friends of Mr. Peters say that tho R. Q. Toters Salt fc Lumbor Company's assets will earo for tho liabilities. Mr. Peters' individual liabilities aro prob4bly about SB.500,000, and his assets (ire nominally considerably mono. The Interior Lumber Company will not bo affected. Bickford, Knox fc Co., of Chioaffo are on a large amountof Potors* paperi also James Kneeland, of Milwaukee, for about SI50,000. T. R. Lyon St Co., of Ludington, is a very largo creditor, but amply securod. Peters fc Morrison, of Menominee, will probably bo compelled to assign, as they aro on a large amount of Peters' paper.

Tho assignment was caused by Mr. Petors being obliged to put up such large amonnts of capital for his sovoral vohturos away from here, and which havo not paid. Tho Manistoo National Bank, of which ho is president, anticipating that some might connoct his failuro with the bank, kept open doors until 0 o'clock p. m. to pay any depositors who wished their money. A few drew their money. The bank losos nothing. Mr. Peters iB apubllosplrited and generous man and has the sympathy of all in his misfortune.

Peters was a salt and lumbor dealer of Michigan and his company was a rival of the great concerns of Fred Wegerhanser, of Rock Island, and TCnapp, Stout it Co.. doing business In Monomlnso, Dubuque and St. Louis. Tbo firm that failed had a largo plant at Manisteo, whero it turned out about 200,000 feet of lumbor a day and from 60,000,000 to 00,000,000 feet annually. At East Lako it had another immense plant The sawlock had a daily capaolty of 225.000 feet of pine, hemlock and codar lumber, llero tho firm had great salt-works and owned also a shinglemill, a logging railroad and a general store. At Ludington Potors was a member of Butler, Peters .t Co., which owned a salt-mill and salt-works. This firm is not involved in tho failure.

Peters was a man of action in overy way. IIo ownod groat quantities of timber lands In Michigan and Wisconsin. Ho had a largo plant at Browton, Ala., and another at Cypress, N. C. IIo was tho possessor of a reputed valuable Bilvor mino at Fort Arthur, Can., on which he is said to havo inado 8250,000. IIo attempted to sell It to ox-Govornor Alger, but novor could consummate tho salo. Ho was the proprietor of a railroad between Manistoo and Luther, a distance of forty miles. Hlsi firm was a membor of tho Michigan Salt Association, which ombracod all the important producers in tho State, through which organization all tho salt productions aro marketed.

Blflcont Loland Hotel, tho most modem and tho finest appointed hotel In Contral Now York, is nothing but a mass of smoldering ruins. It was 12:15 Tuesday morning wUon tho firo was first discovered In tho region of tho kitchen locatod on tho socond floor In tho rear of tho wost sldo of the building. Insldo of fifteen minutes tho building was In flamo from end to ond, and bo/oro thirty minutes had olapsed tho walls had fallen, with the exception of *he northoast oornor. Tho whole was one soothing furnace, to which was added the horror that many lives were Involved. At first It was feared that tho loss of life was about thirty, but as tho night woro along tho number of missing and dead was reduced to oipht or ten.

Tho following dead have been idontlflod: Anfile Cummings of this city, Annie Cummjngs of New York, Bridget Doyle, Mnry Padflen, Rose Scbwarz, W. E. Harropof New York, and Frank Casey, of Olenns Falls, N. Y. The five first named were servants, and the last two were guests, H. T. Mills, a gisest registered from Now York City, Is missing, as is also Mary Doylo, a servant.

The list of injured so far as known numbers eleven. A rough estimate of tho loss Is 8311 000, with Insurance of about 3130,001 The Lolands' loss will be about 830,009. Tho loss of the American Express Coinpany Is estimated at 82,500, and of the Curtlss Manufacturing Company 818,000, both fully insured.

Just before 0 o'clock a. m. a tele, phone alarm of fire was turnod In and word qulokly spread that tho Globe Hotol was on fire. Tho guests were all aroused and In a fow minutes the halls wero filled with men, women and children. Some wore routod out for ttfe second time, having boon in tho fire tit tho Leland Ilotol. Tho firemou soon had tho flames under control.

Mr. Perry, of tho insurance firm of Bowen & Perry, was on tho scone about as soon as any one outside of the polioo and firo departments. He made a personal examination and from what ho saw he believes the placo was sot on firo and tho firo started in a back room whero a lot of groaso was stored. At tho" Globe Hotel firo too, Mr. Perry says, the firo started from groaso in tho kitchen in preclsoly tho samo manner as at tho Loland. Ho believes that both places woro sot on firo in precisely tho samo mannor by somo porson or persons omployod in tho hotols. A vigorous

vestigation will bo held.

Mr. Dillon said he hac^ nothing to conceal rogarding the motives for the flight of-htmsolf and his colloaguo from Ireland, no said: "It Is our wish to submit tho condition of Ireland and appeal on behalf of their unhappy brethren to the seven or eight millions of Irish peoplo In America. Tho Americans are greatly interested In Ireland, and wo have no doubt of the political and financial success of our mission. Wo ne»d money for the strugglo against the lundlords and to assist tho unhappy tenants who are perishing from hunger and to build houses for the evlsted families. Tho Government wanted to deprive tho suSerers of these ccsourccs, and therefore \re did not hesitate to flea. Wo will remain In America four months and will then return to England and surrender ourselves to the police. Wo havo been prisoners so often that a few months moro or loss can not frighten us. We look with conlidence to tho general election and tho triumph ol Gladstone."

WHY THEY FLED.

O'Brien and Dillon Determined to Vlatt America—1Thoy Will Sail for This Country Next Weok.

PARIS, Oot. 17.—In an lntcrrlow with tho Irish patriots, Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien, who have arrived In this olty, Mr. 3'Brlen stated that tho solo object of flight was to enable tho two gentlemen to lteep their ongagomonts in tho United States. He was confident that their mission would prove successful. MP. O'Brien spoke enthusiastically ol tho perfect accord and harmony whioh existed In the party in Ireland, and emphasized tho loyalty of both rank and fllo of tho 'Nationalists to tho leadership of Mr. Parnell. So discouraged was too Tory party that its only hope was in tho death of Mr. Gladstone or tho bankruptcy of tho Irish National League. After remaining eight days in Paris for the purpose of enjoying a brief rost after their reoent severe trials and te permit of communication with the leaders of tho party in Ireland and America, the famous Irishmen will proceed to Havre, whore tjjey will take a steamer displaying the flag of Franco and bound for Now York.

\-yf. OTIIKU POINTS IN Ills RI'KECH. PiTTsm-wiH, Pa., On. 17.—Tho International Brotherhood of Locomotivo Engineers hold its annual open meeting In tho frand Opera-]louse Thursday afternoon, and notwithstanding a down-pouring rain every inch of tho vast auditorium was occupied by tho delegates' wives and friends. Tho meeting was opened by H. K. Adams, master of ceremonies, who road a number of letters from proml* nont gentlemen expressing regret at their inability to bo present. Among those who wrote wero Governor Campbell, of Ohio Governor Beaver, of Pennsylvania George W. Childs, of Philadelphia Prosident George B. Roberts, of the Pennsylvania railroad Sccond Vir President James McCroa, general superintendent of transportation of tho Pennsylvania company, and other railroad oflicials. In his letter Governor. Campbell said:

tho brotherhood will bear io mlofl

the responsibilities a public aervunt has to hear, and the impossibility of always control ling his time. As I am making a fifttit for honest government, in which every member of your groat body is interested, 1 know they will sym pathize with mo, und excuse and overlook my inability to be with you."

After prayer by Grand Chaplain Q. BDorrity, Mayor Gourley, of this city, In an eloquent address welcomed tho delegates to the city.

Chairman Adams then introduced Hon. Chauncey M. Jiopew, president of tho New Yor:« Central Railroad Company. Tho appearance of the distinguished orator and statesman was the signal for the wildest kind of applause. When order had been restored Mr. Depew proceeded to deliver an address, which was listened to with groat interest- Several times ho was compelled to pause owing to the deafening applause of his hoarcrs. Mr. Depew said, among other things: "ftts is tho twenty-seventh annual convention of the lirotkerhood of Locomotivo En* gineers. During the period of your existence and prosperous growth hundreds of labor organizations have been formed and dissolved. They have been Rtarted to carry out novel theories or to put In practice unusual and un-Hriod-proces^'s. Trio success of your body Is duo to its rigid and unswerving adherence to the right principles upon which it was founded. "We have learned from experience several

Important lessons. It has been demonstrated that socialism, either with individuals, Or by the State, is incompatible with our liberty, ond can not survive under our institutions. Over 000 societies have been formed to put in practtco socialistic theories. They have been headed by earnest, self-aatTltlcititf nnd devoted people, and wrccked by disciples who could get along with nobody in this world and would novor be received in the next, and who fondly Imagined that they could create a better world ol their own. "Xo labor organization can permanently sue* ceed whose sole and only object is to Increase wages and diminish hours It lacks tho ea» ficntial bond of mutual sympathy and brotherly help In bearing or lightening each other's bur* dens. The tendency of such an organization is Inevitable and rapidly to collisions and failure. "Labor must be as Intelligent as capital upon its own grounds. The. committer which calls upon the employer or the railroad oftlcer must know its own business as well as he does, otherwise from angry contentions, because of ig« norance, comes the exercise of brute force aud violence falls to secure that which In nine cases out of ten could have been baa by Intelligent presentation. Hundreds of committees of our employes have been to see roe, asd I can safely say that after the full and free discussion which always took place not ono of them ever went out of my oClce except to carry back a satisfactory message to their constituents. "But in the operations of what I may call the Labor Trust I have had three experiences. A force of fifteen men was located at ono point on tho line, nnd in common with other trades in that neighborhood were members of the local assembly. The chief of that assembly was a shoemaker, who bad a quarrel with a passenger conduotor, and to give even with the railroad ordered these men to quit work. They lost their plaoes, with all the attendant misery to themselves and their families, without knowing why they were ordered out. Ahighonicial in the order called upon me by an appointment made by his private secretary. In discussing tho alleged grievances ho confessed that ho nover had been in the railway service or worked an hour upon a railroad In his llfo. Such representatives of organized labor bring ltlntodlfl putc both with employer? and the public.**

Referring to tho recent striko on tho Now York Central road Mr. Depew said: "The citizens of New York and of the wholt* country owe to the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers a df bt of gratitude for the courage, fidelity and intelligence with which they stood by their posts and prrfcrmed their duties during the reoent troubles on the New York Central. ••Much has been said of late of the benefits labor would receive if tho Government owned and operated the railroads. Time docs not per* mlt a discussion of the effects upon our institutions of the appointment of a million of public servants being given to an administro. tlon and made the patronuge of party bosses. But I saw two object lessons in Europe this summer. The lctter cairlcrs lu England work long hours, and cam on an average six dollars per week. After vain efforts for fewer hours und more wages they struck. Tho Government instantly filled their places, put a policeman beside eaoh new man, and dispersed every gathering of the old men near the1r stations. In Germany tbo Government owns the roads. It runs them to make money. The roads are part of their military system. The locomotive cnglneor receives about &45 per month, and if ho deserts his engine becomes subjeet to punishment as an officer of the Government. "Libraries have been written upon labor and capital, but they are mostly trash. Labor can not live without capital to furnish It employment, and capital without labor to enable it bo Increase and multiply is as useless as diamonds on a desert Islaud to a shipwrecked and starving mariner. When capital selfishly strives to sccurc an unfair proportion of the profits by reducing the laborer to conditions which endanger the health, morality and education of his family, it is certain to Incite a revolt which will end In its impairment or destruction. When la bor pushes its demands to a point where capital receives no return, or incurs loss the business stops and employment ceases. "The period ought to come when the employes In any industry shall not be arrayed In hostile camps over the whole country against their employers In the same business, when tho combinations will not be of tho workers on one haud or the officers or llrins on the other, but with good sense, friendly feeling ond kindlytempered dispositions they shall meet upon common grounds for the common good aud overwhelming sense of common Interest."^.
