Ben Hoop er. attorney for the assignee, stated that, while Sherry's inventory footed up to nearly $1,125.000, a little more than the liabilities, the assets, less incumbrauces, would huve a nominal value of less than $400.000.

Handy died at noon today. The remains will be taken to Berlin, for burial. Maj. Handy was stricken with the HI- ness which ended with his death while he was preparing to leave Paris for America, after completing bis work as commissioner to the exposition. Xever a very strong man, the strain of his position had told heavily on his and he was advised by his physicians to give up the more trying work of the mission.

But MAJ. SJOSES T. HAXDT. he persisted until two days before the date set for sailing, when he was overcome by what appeared to be temporary weakness, which caused him to postpone his departure. He was nervously broken down and his condition was rendered worse by impaired and faulty heart action.

The French physicians advised absolute rest, aud he remained in France for two weeks. When he got to New York he succumbed again, but palled himself together and came to Chicago. In Chicago he appeared to regain vitality, but his pride aud interest in his mission K-d him to plnnge into the work of preparing hin report. It was no surprise to his friends to hear that he had succumbed while on his way to Washington, congestion of the lungs and kidneys increasing the gravity of the attack. He was removed to Oeorgia, where he lost strength gradually, and while his friends hoped to the end that his courage would save him, they were warned that the chances were all against his recovery.

His wife accompanied him to the Jiouth, and his son, Wi M. Handy, Chicago for Georgia Thursday afternoon. Maj. Moses P. Handy was born in Virginia, his father being a prominent Methodist clergyman.

At the close ot the fair he went to New York and engaged in literary work and newspaper correspondence for a year. He returned to Chicago as the editor of the Times-Herqld in 1895, when the paper was purchased by H. H. Kohlsoat.

He dealt Miss Wil- linms a savage blow, and was about to strike her again when William -Kiley; a driver in engine house No.

Peculiar Kethod Employed by Mining Company. Honghton, Jan. To sink a shaft 4000 feet deep is something, of a feat. In fact, there are no shafts of that depth outside of this little county of Honghton, which comprises the cream of the Lake Superior copper district. But to dig a shaft 4000 feet high is a novelty even for this district of surprising things.

Yet work on such a shaft was begun, with the opening of the year, by the Quincy Mining company, a corporation which has paid almost $10,000,000 in dividends from copper production. The month of the shaft in question is to be nearly opposite to the 'handsome brown stoue office of the company, which stands on a steep hill 600 feet above the waters of Portage lake. The' shaft will stand at an angle- of nearly forty-five degrees. When it was decided on various plans were suggested for its construction, but the idea of Capt. Samuel B.

Harris, the manager of the mine, was finally accepted and wort was begun at the very bottom, 4000 feet below the brow of the hili. A crosscut traversing the forma' tion at right was driven to the desired point, whereupon the miners began drilling upward. Kicked to Death toy Oow. Wilton, N. Jan.
