Tlic. announcement was madt late Saturdav the I7th, that the gri-at iron firm of John Ü. Ayer's Sons, oí Chicago had failed. This - wn,, uiftwu 4mtu a seusanon, as uie interests oí the flrm are very extended, and their sudden suspension wholly unexpected by the public. The flrm began doing business in lHo'J, and had of late years been doing an immeage !;;?iuess. Herbert C. Ayer, the head of the flrm, owns $900,000 of the capital stock of the Bonnell eompany of TouDgstown, O., which operates the largest rolling milis in the Mahoning Talley and the larpest sheet mili in the United States. H. C. Ayer is president of the eompany and owns a maiority of the stock. The eompany also oivns a "numberof blast f urnaces, coal mines, irom mines aud lime quarrics, employing sorne 4,000 men who will now be thrown out of work, though not recovered from the lotig strike of last summer. The amount of liabilities cannot now be given but will be very heavy, rumor placina them at $2,000,000. Tbe immefliate cause of the failure is said to bc the dullness of the iron market. Anotlicr Horror. Reporte have been recelved of an appalling mine disaster at Braidwood, a llttle toivn 20 miles soutb of Joliet, 111. A land slide oecurred, elosing one of the ehafts and buried all Ti!0 TorLln it:-1but6Smenand8ix bovs. Aoout 2,000 men rallied to the reacue, and began excavating and pumüing as fast as the nature of the shaft would permit. The cause of the disaster was curious and perhaps unpreeedentcd. Water to the depth of three of tour feet had accumulated on the surface of the land over the mine and its cnormous nn i-s -"oi a Janu siiae or cavo in of neariv yu feet square. It is known that all the different windings of the mine are fllled full oí water, as it now stands within five feet of the tOD of the main shaft. Forty-five of the lost minera Jeave families Nothiug whatever can be done to pump the mine out as water from all the surroundiug country drains into thls. Ihe manager of the Wilmington eoal company is on the ground with the necessary pumping apparatus, but notliing can be done until 1 dam is built to stop the further inilux of the water. All agree that the accident was unavoidable. The mine was timbered in the proner wav. and dnrimr ita Anpa Híotnn - ? .iMg !,□ cuLiic uin)iy mere has never beeu any attempt at ecouomy in amt hing that would tend to insure tlie safety óf th workmen. ■" STOIiT 01' AX EYE WITKBSÍ.
