A LUMBER BARON'S FAILURE ' The K. O. Peter Company Liabilities will Roach Three Million Dollar. Maxistkk, Mich., Oct. 17, A. G. Fe-tcr- s has assigned. It is the largest fi-nancial crash in the stole for years and conies from a source least expected. Peters was the leading spirit in a score of big enterprises and was a baron in the lumber and salt trade. The assign-ment covers a milliou dollars worth of property aud will be in its effects. Noscheduloof assets or lia-bilities is yet filed here. From outside but reliable source his liabilities will be fully M.000.000, with assets in vac ious banks, lumber companies, salt mines, etc. The plant here made enor-mous profit, but the outside ventures, as a rule, have bee n disastrous, espec-ially the Alnbama and North Carolina lumber ventures. It is thought thtvt the assets in Manistee, , Grand Rapids and lands, lumber etc., if judiciously handled, will cover the liabilities, It fs asserted that the only banks likely to suffer are ;n Manistee, Muskegon and Grand Rapids, as it is said the Detroit banks for a short time past have declin-ed Peters' paper. Grand Raiuds, Oct. 17,The first of the great Peters failure were felt here last night, when it was an-nounced that the firm of Arthur Meigs & Co., in which Peters was interested, had filed mortgages aggregating nearly JoOO.OOO, covering all of their property.

The Sheridan Tunnel at Telluride Strikes an Immense Body of High Grade Ore. TEE TOWN HAS GONE WILD. The Ore Carries a Brittle Silver and Cop-per and Runs High in Gold It Puts $15,000,000 in Sight. ' Telluride, Colo., Oct. 17. Telluride is ablaze with excitement; flags are fly-- : ing and men cheering. The great Sheridan tunnel struck a vein and de-veloped a large body of ore of very rich ' grade. The tunnel was commenced Novem-- i ber, 1877, is 8500 feel long and cost ' ' 1300,000. , Manager Waters says, calculating on the basis of what the mine has done in the past, this strike puts $15,000,000 in eight. The ore struck by the tunnel carries a brittle silver and copper, and runs high in gold. Over a thousand feet is gained in depth. The vein is owned by the Sheri-dan company for 5000 feet linear on the surface. The surface has been devel-oped tho entire distance and has pro-duced nine-tenth- s of tho output of San Miguel county for the past eight years. LEAD AND THE CARBONATE. Attack of the New York "Tims" on Miliar or the West. ; New York. Oct. 17.-- The; Times prints the following editorial uqder the head line "Lead and Carbontate:" "The price of pig lead continues to advance and with it must rise the prices of many articles of necessity in the manufacture of which lead is used. The cost of lead pipe and of plumbing work, for example, will be increased. The selling price of lead is higher now by nearly 60 per cent than it was a few months ago, before the treasury depart- ment yielded to the demand of the Col-orado carbonate ripg and restricted the importation from Mexico of the silve-r- lead fluxing ores that have practi-cally been excluded by the very high duty in the new tariff. Lead in its sev eral manufactured forms is not an arti-cle of luxury. The increased cost will be felt by substantially all consumers. The exclusion of the silver-lea- d fluxing ores of Mexico has not only raised the price by reducing the supply of ore in this country, but it also appears to have had the effect upon certain branches of our mining industry that was foretold by certain opponents of the ring. The following was published the yesterday by Sun, in a dispatch reviewing the condition of the mining industry in New Mexico and other parts of the southwest: The smelter will now have to pay higher price for lead ores for fluxing and producers of dry ores will have to pay higher smelting charges. The purchasing agent of the largest snieliing works In New Mexico says that the snielters are not going to lose anything by having to pay hieh prices fo lead ores. Higher prices for smelting silver ores will mean a re-duction of the margin of profit to silverm nera which tho advance in the price of silver gave them. This will leave the silver mining indus-try here ia about the same condition as for the thrse vears past. Mexican silver miners get the full benetrt of an advance of over sl cents an ounce on their product. which comes In free, wnile American miners have to pay higher smelter charges to the purchasing agents of the smelters to pay a duty of I3U per ton on Mexican lead ti flux their ores, or a correspondingly hljiber price for the domestic product if a sufficient supply can be obtained. American mines have never yet been able to supply the demand for lead ores. This condi-tion of affairs may be disagreeable to the min- ers of dry ores and to ft majority of the smelt-ers, but it must be highly satisfactory to the ring that controls the carbonate mine of Colo-rado. "The Sun has a correspondent to whose letters it has given the place of honor in its columns, and who has told in those letters at considerable length a story about the investment of large sums in the Harrison campaign fund two years ago by the owners of the car-bonate mines of Colorado. As this correspondent appeared to enjoy the confidence of some of these men and to be working in their interest with res-pect to the duty on Mexican ores his disclosures receive attention. We hope he will not overlook our contemporary's report from the mining regions." MARRIED HER BLACKSMITH LOVER. A Kirk Washington Ulri KIopM With th Maa ei Iter Choice, IUltimokk, Oct. 17.

A Fitting Testimonial of the Esteem in Which the Venerable Prelate is held A Grand Parade Tomorrow. Brooklyn. N.Y., Oct. 17. Special. All the Catholic societies of this city have for many mouths been making preparations for the celebration of Bishop Laughlin's golden jubilee, which occurs tomorrow. , is designed to make the exercises as imposing and significant as possible and to permit as many persons as desire to take part in the ceremonies to do so. To this end the committe having the matter in charge decided to extend the celebra-tion over three days. This evening the Venerable prelate will be given a public reception at tho Palace rink, when he will also be presented with a purse of $100,000, as a testimonial of the appre-ciation of his labors by the people of whom he is the sacerdotal head. Toward this testimonial the priests of the diocese contributed $25,-00- Tomoi-ro- night there will be a torchlight parade by members of the various societies of men, attached to the Roman Catholic churches, and General James McLear of the second brigade N. G. S. N. Y. has consented to take tho oommand as grand marshal. A parade of children will be the feature of Sun-day, when the bishop will celebrate his jubilee mass iu St. "John's chapel. On Monday night a dinner in his honor will be given, at which speeches will be made by some ef the leadiug men of the city. ' John Laughlin was born iu Tyrone county, Ireland, in the year 1815, and is now in the seventy-fift- h year of his age. His parents brought him to this country while a child. At an early age he showed an inclination to the priest-hood, and he was sent to Mount St. Mary's college at Eramettsburg, Mary-land, where he completed his studies in 1840. In October of the year he was ordained in the old St. Patrick's cathed-ral on Mott street, by Archbishop Hughes. Twelve years later he accom-panied Arohbishop to the first plenary council iu Baltimore.. That body suggested to Pope Pino IX the advisability of creating several new dioceses, among them that of Brooklyn, The suggestions were' approved, and by apostolic letter,, dated July 21), 1833, that diocese abd Ave , others were formed, and Bishop Laughlin was ap-pointed to the head of the jurisdiction with which he has since been connec-ted. He was consecrated in the New York Cathedral on October a. 1853, by Cardinal Bendim, who was then a specialJPapal visitor to this country. An imposing installation service mark-ed his formal taking charge of his diocese. It is thought that the bishop will use the money presented to him on this occasion to endow the seminary in which he takes a deep interest. It would fillingly round out his career to secure the completion of the splendid cathedral of the dioose aud have it dedicated with all the pomp and gran-deur of elaborate ritual. If his life is spared long enough he will accomplish this work. LABOR TROUBLES IN SCOTLAND. No Such Ferment Nine the Colliery Strikes or Sixteen Year Ago. Glasgow. Oct. 17.

THE FUGITIVES IN FRANCE. Interview with the Two Distinguished ' Irishmen in Farla. Paris, Oct. 17,The Siecle publishes a sort of manifesto from Dillon and . O'Brien in which they describe their flight from Ireland, the motives for their action, etc. They say when they arrive in America they will separate, ' Dillon visiting tho principal cities and towns in the north, and O'Brien going over the western and southern states. O'Brien says the sole object in re- - , fusing to face his accusers in Tipperary was to keep the engagement to speak in aid of the Irish cause in America. He was confident the mission to that country would meet with success. The nationalist party is ine perfect accord . and Ireland had implicit confidence in Parnell. The death of Gladstone or the bankruptcy of the National league were 'the sole hopes of the tories in their fight against parliamentary agitation ,for Irish borne rule. Dillon and O'Brien will remain in Paris eight days when they will take passage for New York. . t London, Oct. 17. The Paris corres-pondent of the Times interviewed the' Irish fugitives yesterday.

Robert Chisholm, who is working the Nesbit ranch this year, is at present digging his prize acre of potatoes, in competi-tion for the American Agriculturist prize. The stand was the finest ever seen in this section, and thus far the yield is very satisfactory. Up to the present time the rows, of which there are-- fifty, have yielded 1000 pounds each, and Mr. Chisholm is of the opin-ion that the entire yield will not fall far short of 40,000 to 45,000 pounds to the acre. Should this prove to bo the case, Mr. Chisholm will doubtless win the prize, as a yield of 42,000 pounds took the first prize last year. The American Agriculturist is representeu in this con-test by S. L. Thomas of Del Norte and E 11. "Pitman of Durango. The result will be known by Thursday nexf.

Chicago, Oct. 17. Special. The directors of the World's fair are evinc-ing as deep an interest in the approach-ing election as if they were candidates for office. Although neither the repub-lican nor the Jdemocratic party has said ought publicly ngainet the amendment to tbe constitution to be voted upon November 4th, to permit the city to in-crease its indebtedness $5,000,000 for the World's fair, yet in many quarters quiet but determined opposition is shown toward it, and well founded fears of its defeat are entertained. The World's Columbian Exposition directory is by no means a popular body with the people of this city. At this time the course pursued by the directorate at the meeting at Battery D, when the election of directors was ou the bill, is being recalled inja manner that does not popularize the directorate with the voters. When the effort was made at that meeting to make the directorate representative even in a lesser degree of the people of this city, by tho elec-tion of so many directors from the north, south and west sides, it met with a flat-foote- d refusal.' Thosu who made the suggestion were bluntly informed that the corporation was a private one; that Chicago as a city had nothing what-ever to do with it, and" that if every di-rector on the board were selected with-.i-a radius of two blocks from tho board ot trade it was nobody's con-cern but that of the men who had sub-scribed most toward the corporation. It is recalled also that Col. Davis, who is now director general, failed of re-election to the directory because he re-sided on the west side, and those who held the stock resided on the south and north sides. The executive committee had a protracted session today, at which the situation which all the mem-bers regard as serious was thoroughly discussed.
