Proposal to Establish It in This Country Similar to the One in England. EepresenUtire Taylor's Bill on the Subject Indiana Towns That May Get Free Mail Delivery Justice Crown Sworn In. ASSOCIATE JCSTICE BROWN. The New Member of the Supreme Court Sworn ' Iu An Unusual Compliment. Washington, Jan. 5. Judge Henry B. Brown, of Michican, was this mora in 3 worn into office as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, and took his seat on the bench. The introduction into oflice of the new justice was awaited with considerable interest by lawyers and others. Long before the hour of meeting the court chamber was crowded with spectators. A majority of the Michigan delegation occupied seats within the railed space set apart for members of the bar, where they,, were joined by Mr. Don Dickinson, ex-ostmaster-geueral; Comptroller Lacey. of the Treasury Department; Mr. Henry M. Duffield. of Detroit. A number of other friends of Judge Brown, including several ladies, were also present, and had seats reserved for them in the rail. At noon the justices, headed by Chief-justice Fuller, the new associate bringing up the rear, marched into the court-room and took their seats on the bench. Judge Brown did not immediately take his seat, bnt stopped at the clerk's desk. 118 own gown hid not yet been made, but he wore a new robe belonging to Justice Field. When the conrt-crier opened the proceedngs. Chief-justice Fuller said: "It gives rue pleasure to announce to the gentlemen of the bar that sinca the adjournment of the court Mr. Henry B. Brown, of Michigan, has been appointed to a seat upon this bench. Mr. Brown is ready and prepared to take the oath. The clerk will please read the commission." After this had been done by Mr. MoKenney, the spectators 3nd justices rising during the ceremony. Judge Brown, holding the small, black morocco-covered Bible of the conrt in his right hand, repeated in a firm, clear, decisive voicejthe usual judicial oath. He then walked around baok of the court to his chair on the left of Justice Lamar, who greeted him with outstretched hand, the new justice returning the very cordial salutation of his colleague with a bow and a pleasant smile. The court bowed to the spectators, who resumed their seats, and the usual business was proceeded with, Justice Blatchford reading an opinion in a patent suit. Chief-jnstioe Fuller in the course of this routine business took advantage of an oportnnity his duty afforded him to pay a neat little compliment to the new justice He was instructed by the court to announce its decision in a habeas corpus case brought here on appeal from . Justice Brown's former district court. In announcing the court's decision, the Chiefjustice, departing a little from custom, said: "We concur in the views expressed by Judge Brown indisposingof the case in the Circuit Court,and the judgment is affirmed." rROPOSED PAKCEL POST. Clll Introduced In the House to Establish the English System In This Country. Special to the Indianapolis JornnaL Washington, Jan. 5. Representative Taylor, of Chicago, introduced a bill today which is designed to put the Postoffice Department in competition with the express companies to a certain extent. It provides for the establishment of -what is generally known as the English parcel-post system. This system is now in operation in Great Britain and in Canada, and by means of it packages np to five pounds can be mailed through those countries. Representative Taylor's bill provides that packages of half a pound, or less, are to be charged 10 cents; from a half ponnd to one pound. 15 cents; from one to one and onehalf pound, 20 cents; from one and one-half to two pounds. 25 cents: from two to two and one-half pounds, SO cents; from two and one-half to three pounds, S5 cents; from three to three and one-half pounds, 40 cents: from three and one-half to four pounds, 45 cents. This practically extends the fonrth-class domestic mail matter so as to include packages of four pounds weight. As most 0! the packages handled bv express companies at Chrismas time, and on other special occasions, are under four ponuds in weight, it practically turns over to the mail this extensive branch of business. The packages are to be registered, the same as registered letters, and the 1'ostraaster-general is directed to issue two parcel-poststamps of the denomination of 5 cents and 10 cents, respectively, to be used on parcel-post packages. Mr. Taylor has discussed the advisability of this measure with Assistant Postmaster-general Haztn, who warmly recommends it. FItEE DELIVERY OF 31 AIL.

Rebates Cannot Be Allowed on Spirits Lost by Lenkage While In Itond. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jan. 5. Secretary Windom sent to the Senate to-day, in response to a resolution calling for the same, an opinion as to whether W. T. Pate &. Co., of Iudiana, Thayer Bros, and F. & J. W. Gaft & Co. are entitled to a rebate of taxes paid by them on distilled spirits lost by leakage while stored in bonded warehouses. W. T. Pate & Co. paid $10,663 as taxes, which they claim are in excess o the amount withdrawn from bonded warehouses, and have aiked the Treasury Department to refund that amount. The Secretary of the Treasury and the First Comptroller decide" that tho law under which the tax in question was collected did not allow for leakages in bonded warehouses, and consequently that tne tax was legally collected. The decision is. therefore, that ,the only relief for the claimants is through Congress, in the ordinary way. Senator-Elect Dubois Must Walt. Washington, Jan. 5. Mr. Hoar, from the com- . xnittee on privilege and elections, reported back to the Senate to-day the credentials of Frederick P.

AN OLD FIRM FORCED TO THE WALL. Failure of the Dueber Watch Company, of Canton, O., and Cincinnati.. . Cincinnati. O., Jan. 5. The Dueber Watch Company, whose works were formerly at Newport, Ky.t but are now at Canton, O., and which has an office in Cincinnati, made an assignment in this city at 6 o'clock this evening to Mr. Howard Douglass, for the benefit of creditors. The nominal assets are $1,500,000. ana the liabilities, inoluding preferences, $430,000. Preferred claims, secured to seven national banks, are $252,000. The principal creditor is the Hampden Watch Company, of Springfield, Mass., in which Mr. Dueber owned a largo amount of stock. The failure is attributed to stringency in the market and embarrassment in consequence of business relations with the Hampden Watch Company. Mr. John C. Dueber, of the Dueber company, also made an individual assignment to Howard Douglass. His liabilities are $252,000, chiefly indorsements for the Dueber Watch Company. His assets are 1 200,000, in valuable real estate in Newport, Ky. The Dueber Watch-Case Manufacturing Company was the style of the farm when its manufactory was in Newport, Ky.'One or two ineii who gave the company their name, and who bad been mechanics at Dnhme's. in this city, started the manufacture of watch-cases in a small way over in Newport, Ky., ten or twelve years ago. It grew rapidly until, when it left Newport about two years ago. it employed 1,200 hands. It was induced to go to Canton, O., by a bonus odared by that city. It is said that at Canton the company had nearly two thousand employes. The linn had high standing while here, and was considered very wealthy. There is not much known here of the causes of the embarrassment. It is a matter of gossip, however, that the Dueber company was more inti-, inately connected with the Hampden comFany than had been generally supposed, t is &aid that an election of officers of the Dueber company was to take place soon, and it is surmised her that this assignment was to prevent the Hampden company from getting control of the Dueber establishment. The assets of the company consists of accounts, and of stock, and of the plant, including the real estate at Canton, and its friends think the em harassment is only temporary. John C. Dueber, of the Dueber Watchcase Company, tilsd mortgages in New fort, Ky., at5:iJ0 o'clock to-night, as folows: To Union National Bank, Cleveland, O., $100,000; to Ohio Valley National Bank, Cincinnati, $40,000; to Euclid-avenue National Bank, Cleveland, O., $40,000; to First National Bank. Canton, O., $7,000; to German National Bank, Newport, Ky., 810.000; to Geo. D. Harter & Brother, Canton, O.. 810,000; to Lepper. Wade &, Co., Cincinnati, O., $10,000. These mortgages cover twenty-nine piece's of real estate in Newport, including the immense factory buildings of the Dueber company, which have been idle for over two years. Will Resume Business. New York, Jan. 5. The unexpected announcement was made to-day that Decker, Howell k Co. would resume business at once, and that the assignee. William Nelson Cromwell, would pay 100 cents on the dollar on Just claims presented to him. The firm, whioh was one of the most prominent in the city, has long been identified with the Villard interests and carried immense line of Northern Pacific and Northern American stock. During the period of the extreme stringency in money they were unable to negotiate loans with which to carry the securities, and on Nov. 11 the firm was compelled to suspend, although at the time it had millions of -unhypothecated securities in Its hands. The tlrm's liabilities amounted to $12,000,000, and it was thought it would require a long time to even straighten out its affairs so that a comprehensive statement could be made. The assignee was congratulated by all interests concerned, and ho is given credit for having eclipsed all records in his work in administering the estate. Heavy Failure at Michigan City. Michigan Crrr, Ind., Jan. 5. I W. Wilson & Co.. lumber-dealers,' made an assignment this morning. The liabilities are estimated at $150,OOO; assets, $50,000.

TJtsturblngIlinnt in tli Switchmen's Union at Pittsburg Removed by Mr. Sweeney. Pittsburg, Jan. 5. "There will b no strike among the organized switchmen of this city." 80 said Grand Master Workman Sweeney, of the Switchmen's Association, et rly this morning. That official arrirod in the city yesterday morning, and last night a meeting wa held, which lasted until 2:15 this morning. When the asneinbly had adjourned Mr. Sweeney was seen, and was found to be yery much put out at the occurrences of the past week. He said that the trouble for some time past among tbe Switchmen's Association has been bionght by professional agitators, but recently he expelled three members of lodge No. 62, including Master Workman Howley, for fomenting strife. Now the trouble will cease, as to-day the demands whieh were made from tbe different railroad companies will be withdrawn, as they were unconstitutional and without the sanction of the better class of switchmen. "I recently," said he. "revoked the, charter of -Lodge 121, nrd they are entirely out. There will be no further trouble." : To-day Frana Haw ley, a labor leader of this city, through his attorney, tiled a bill in equity against Grand Master Sweeney, of the Switchmen's association. The comElaint in the bill partially explains wb:tt a.s been going on so rrjsteriously here for several weeks, since the collapse of t!io Glen wood strike. It seems that Grand Mister Sweeuey, after investigating that strike, ordered the expulsion of local union No. 121, of the Switchmen's Association, maintaining that the strike was unjustifiable, that the men were too hasty, and, though they were not so well paid as at some other points, their quitting work was without tbn authority of the association. Mr. Sweeney also eexured the expulson of Frank Mawley and two others of local union No, C2, on the ground that Hawley was a breeder of dissension, an advocate of strikes and n labor affitatoi which the association could well do without. All this had been kept secret, ttpd II aw ley's bill demanding investigation and reinstatement, is a surprise to labor organizations not in th'SdeaL Scab" Coal to He Boycotted. ItiRMiXGiiAM, AlaM t Jan. 2. The Trades Council, a union of all labor organizations, held a meeting last evening?, fend after a report from a committee that the liiine operators had all refused to meet a conraitte from the Mine-workers Union, or in any: way recognize orjranied labor, a series of resolutions were adopted. The resolutions in substance are that all labor organizations will ah the miners by all lawful means to compel recognition of the union and to win the present strlku for higher wa?s. It was further resolved to at once take steps to prevent the use of coal mined by "scab" labor, which, virtually means a boycott of coal now being' mined in the district ' Demands of, St, Louis Carpenters. 8 r.
