O. W. Losey. who has been keeping a wall
paper mid painting establishment at 11 Pearl
.street , weut under yesterday afternoon. Tbo
fact that ho was on shakey ground was
brought to the notice of his creditors in the
morning by the tiling of six chattel mort
gages on his property , as follows : One to
John H. Miller , for $150 , on the entire stock
and fix lures ; another to A. B. Crane ,
for * 7ft.iiO , on the stocK ; a third
to S. P. Wadsworth for ? 2.V ) ,
on the slock ; a fourth to Shea < k Galvln for
ilUO , on n uhubton , a ilfth to A. B. Crane
for ? .V > , on the stock , and 'one last to the
Citizen's State bnnk for $15J. Mr. A. B
Brane , who holds nearly half of the claims ,
was put In charge of the building , and the
place was closed , so far as doing any bus-
ness is concerned.
The failure was brought on by close times
and a total Inability to gel his debtors to pay
their bills. Tnirty days ago Mr Losoy gave
a statement of bis affairs to the manager of a
commercial agency , in uhlch ho said thai his
stock would icacii about liOO , ! Jn value. It
is nol thought lhal il will amount to more
than about f'J.KK ( ) at present , and when it
come lo disposing of It at a forced sale , it is
very doubtful whether enough can be real-
l/ed out of it toiay ] off the mortgages , to say
nothing of the claims of the creditors who
are i.ot protected.
An attachment suit was brought In Justice
Swearingen's court by Harle , Haas .t Co ,
for f < > 7 , and there will be others within the
next day or two Mr. Loseyisiil at his home ,

The approach of warm weather 'and the
consequent light ataondance at the theatri
cal entertainments thai have been given in
the Broadway theater for the past few
weeks , reminds the management that the
du'l ' season , so far as theatricals are con
cerned , is at hand. It has been decided lo
close the opera house after one or two
more plays have been given and not
to open It until Ihe lalter part of August.
The following ntlractions are to bo pre
sented before the house is closed : May ! i7 ,
"The Twelve Temptations ; " May 29 and ItO ,
Annlo Abbott , Ihe Georgia Wonder ; Juno 4
and 0 , Stein , the magician. There Is some
talk among the stockholders of having Iho
house opened during the warm wealher for
occasional entertainments by standard troupes
at popular prices , but no definite decision has
yet boon reached on this point , The at
tractions at the opera house during
the past three months have not been
altogether first-class , as the present
manacement has but very little to do with
making the dates , most of them having been
made by the former proprielor. Beginning
next fall , however , a good programme will be
presented. Nat Goodwin has boon encaged
for thu opening night , which will be August
24. The following tlrst class allraclions
have also been booked so far : Jed Prouty ,

Last night was the time set for the first
meeting of the board of equalization. All
the couucilmun were present at the city
building , and Assessor Hardin was also
there , but the books wore not ready to bo
delivered ovet Into the hands of the hoard ,
Mr. HnrUIn stated that he mid not yet com
pleted Ihe work of assessing the property ,
the bridges over the Missouri and the prop
erty on Cut-Oft Island being still undisposed
of. He said that ho bad consulted several
attorneys In the city as to whether the prop
erty should be assessed , seeing that Us pos
session was still a matter of uncertainty , and
that he had been advised by them to goon and
assess it as bad beei. done herelofore. He had
also seen the representatives of the Kast
Omaha land company , nud they had signified ,
their willingness to bo assessed by either (
Iowa or Nebraska. It wan not material to
them which He thought that It would bo
bust to consult the altorney general on the
subject before ho did anything , but the attor
ney general was away from the city. Ho
asked that he bo allowed a few days longer
in which tocompiele his labors , In the hope
that the attorney general might return.
The members of the board were not at all
anxious lo lake up thu mailer of assessments
Just at present , so the extra time asked for
was granted. Another meeting will be held
next Mm Jar evening , by which time it Is
probable that the work will be finished and
the books delivered over Into tbo bands ot
the hoard.

I saw a little scone on Montgomery
street the other afternoon which was
pleasant to behold uncl that wu elo
quent of Bociul conditions on the const
that have nil but pushed away , writes
Arthur McEwcn in his weekly San
Francisco letter. Two men wore stnnd-
ing together on the sidewalk in friendly
conversation. One wns ex-Goxernor
Aaums of Nevada tind the other was Jo
Stuart , a professional piunbler. Time
wis when Jo hud several faro batiks in
Virginia City , wns worth much money ,
and could go to imy bunk on the Com-
btoclc arid on his simple word got us
many thousand dollars as ho needed to
prepare hims-elf for business again after
a hard night when the boys hud beaten
the game. Jo is of a race ol gamblers
who held the gentleman's code , and ad
hered to it with a t-crupolosity that won
for them from business men a trust in
flnanoiiil transactions which business
men were by no means given to reuosing
in one another. Ho Is old now , and not
rich. His eyes have failed him some
what , so that ho is not quick at seeing
the card , and luck goes against him.
But though his stop has become slow
and heavy and ho needs a cane to leaden
on , ho carries himself bravely , and
pauses with a calm cheerfulness to talk
with ex-governors or any other old-time
friends who do themselves the honor to
stop for a chat. John Mackuy always
dooti this , and Senator Jones and every
other Nevadan who is himself man y
and respoctfal toward old ago and strong
cnaractor.
But u few days since I visited on what
may bo his death-bed , another Com-
slocltor , a venerable stock-broker who
has spent the best years of a long lilo in
the battle of speculation among the
keen-witted gamblers of the street. Ho
had beside him on the bed his little
books of devotion for ho has over boon
a religious man , though lending a free
life and keeping his faith to himself
and he prattled sunnily of the old days
in the mines , of men" dead and alive
known to us both , and with placid fear-
Icsstiub * of the end of his own days which
ho believed was near.
Considering the occupations of those
two one a gambler and the other a
stock broKer it may seem grotesque
but it is true , that of all men 1 have
known they most remind me of Colono !
Nowcombo , the perfect gentleman o
literature. Their slmplicitj of mind
their un eltlshness , their dignity withou
pomposity , their kindliness , their char
ity of judgment , their unhesitatinganger
ut what seems to them wrong , their
slight c-ereraoniousncss of maimer , affectionate
tionato respect with which they inspire
others all these traits they have in
common with the colonel , of whom one
may never think without mentally un
covering.

tiny Gould IIH a HoUni'M.
I was astonished a year or two npo at
nn exhibition of Gould's versatility ,
which was also u tribute to his thorough
ness , observes a Pittsburg Dispatch cor
respondent. A party of us , hank.irs ana
Wall [ street men , went out to Gould's
country seat at Irvington-on-the-Hudson.
It is a beautiful jilace , its most people
know , and Mr. Gould took us about be
fore dinner to see the lions. Among
other things lie showed us the botanical
collodion which ho had made. It
contains , 1 bellovo , the- principal
plants of almost every country
lu the world spmo growing out ol
doors , others in hot houses. But that
was not all. Mr. Gould himself , as wo
wandered among the liawers and leaves ,
told the two gentlemen who were lucky
enough to bo beside him most of the
time , the name , chnrnebatiand life his
tory of every plant they chanced to no-
tlco or ho stopped to jxjlnt out. Ills ac
quaintance with botunv wont Inr beyond
the text books ; it spoke Wpersomtl ob

weighing about two hundred pounds ,
and fired it oil in that position. While
performing at Epernay in Prance the
same feat , the barrel of the gun burnt ,
Miraculously he wasnotkhlod , although
several of the fragments were thrown
over fifty yards away.
There are stories of other strong men
who did not appear in public. A butcher
lived in South Holland who killed calves
by strangling them. A Dutch count , in
a private entertainment , bent an iron
bar by boating it with his right hand
against his left anu , protected by a
leather bandage , bonding it afterward
straight again by beating it the other
way.
Charles Lonvlor , a carpenter of Paris ,
found it child's play to roll a tin basin
between his fingers into a cylinder. , On
one occasion he curried ofl a soldier on
guard who had gone to sleep in the
sentry box , depositing both on a jo\v
church yard wall close by. An equally
amusing story is told of a Dane , Knut
Kundson , a locksmith , who , while stand
ing in a window on the ground floor ,
lifted with ono hand half a bullock from
the shoulder of a butcher who was toil
ing past with his load.

DcHcciidant of Ticonilcropn's llei-o.
Says Colonel Ethan Allen to a New-
York Tribune reporter : "I am a collat
eral descendant of tne hero of Ticondor-
oga. In other words , my grandfather
and Ethan's ftther were brothers. I am
said to bear a remarkable likeness to
Colonel Ethan Allen of revolutionary
fame. My grandfather removed to Now
Jersey before tno revolutionary war. I
think most of the Aliens in this country
descended from the old stock and are
closely related. Last , but not least ,
when you take into consideration what
ho accomplished on the turf and in the
stud , was the famous stallion Ethan
Allen. Ho was a Vermont horse , and
altough a dumb brute , did much to make
the narno of the family notable. 1 saw
him trot with a runinng mate twenty-
five years ago when hfe'iriado a record of
2lo. : Ho was the purest galled horse
that ever stood on iron , mid nearly all of
his descendants have his Action. "
Shrinkage of n Picco of Monoy.
A merchant of Moscow sent for the
copy of a deed to the * 5U Petersburg
criminal court and reoeJVed it from tlio
clerk , for which ho tranMnittod 1 rouble
by mail , as a fee. But-tho furnishing of
copies by that court is free , so the rouble
was mailed back , forvh.ich the post-
otlli'O charged fa kopeck's' . The merchant
had gone to Twer , and rthe remaining
H2 kopecks followed him at a charge of 0
kopecks. Meanwhile he had gone to St.
Petersburg , and the " 811 , kopecks went
after him and dimlntsh'ed to 72. Ho
had loft the capital for Charkow , and
Twor , and Moscow. The monov fol
lowed him , shrinking continually by the
charge of the posiolllce for transmission' ,
till , finally reduced to onosingle kopeck ,
it was deposited to his order in the gov
ernment office at Moscow.
