Surprising Honesty of a Man Who Failed, A NEW YORK MERCHANT PAVING DEBTS DUE TO A FAILURE IN 1801?WILL TAKE A HALF MILL? ION DOLLARS TO SETTLE ALL CLAIMS?MANY' OF THE CRED? ITORS ARE DEAD. New York. Nov. ''4.?Several of the old firms, or the successors of old firr.is, i 11 the dry goods district have recently been notified by A. F. Eno that it is bis desire to pay his share if the debts of the dry goods firm of which he was a member and organizer in 18G0,aud which suspend? ed with large liabilities at tlioj hicakinc out'of the war.The notices contain che-ks for Mr. Eno's share of 'ho principal of the debt, some to the amount of many thousands of dollars, and in addition to tho cheeks, assurances that as soon as the exact amount of the debt is known and the interest on :t can be computed, there will be a further check sent, repre senting the interest at 4 percent, from 18G1. Further, the notices were marked "strictly confidential." The firms that received the notices and the inclosed checks were so astounded that some cf tbem.in spite of this injunc? tion, could not keep the secret, and the matter has been the talk of the diy-goods district, with nauy a wish that there might be other visitations of "Provi? dence ami old-fashioned honesty." Even after the matter became nublic, Mr. Eno tried to]laugh the matter olT with a remark about a "few Southern credits," anil the emphatic declaration that he coulil not see that it was a mat? ter of any gone.nl interest. The story, however, is gathered from trustworthy sources. Mr. Eno, before the war, was head of the firm of Eno, Rueren & Valentine, which dealt* exclu? sively in silks and fancy dress goods. .Its business was principally in the South It did about a million-dollar business, which, in those days, was very large. Thougn war was imminent, there was little restriction of credits- between the North and Iba South,mich was the scram? ble for business almost up to the begin ninc oT the war. The bring on Fort Sumpter in 'April, 1801, was the beginning of a business smash as well as the beginning of the war. The houses that had largo dealings with the Soulb, and consequently large credits there, went Jowu. The Southern merchants would not pay their debts and ha'' lor an excuse (hat their creditors were public enemies and tlint, to give money to them was to aid the public enemy of the Confederate States. Eno, Beuren & Valentine failed two weeks after the liring on Sumter and made an j assignment. All that was possible was realized from the sale of the stock anil j the business, and the money was used to J pay the debts of the firm. The dividend was small, but. the creditors were glad to j get it and the members of the linn were j released. The release, of course, wiped out forever all of the debts of the linn that were unpaid and left I hem free to start business afresh. Mr. Eno, after a short experience in the army, did go into business again i.i the firm of lloadley, Eno & Co. This was in 180?. But the old debts were forgotten bv that time ?nd probably from that time to this until the letters and checks were sent our, by Mr. Eno, they were not agalu thought of by any one but Mr. Eno. : Thirty-six years is a long time in busi? ness, aud^scarc.ely any of the firms that were the oiiginal creditor* of Eno, Beu? ren it Valentine are in business now. Even where the original names were naintaiued the members of the linn have changed. In many cases not a single member of the original creditor firm survives. In others they are nephews or even more distant relatives, and in dome cases the business has passed into other hands entirely and there is not a relation of tho old partners remaining. This is the condition that Mr. Eno found when ho began to hunt up tho creditors of the old firm with the idea of paying his share of the debts with inter? est thereon. In no case was there a man who remembered that sunh a debt ex- j isted. In many cases the old nooks had been destroyed,and there was no evidence tnat there had been such a del:t. But in no case, it is said, did Mr. Eno hesitate to put the debt into the list, that he in? tended to pay. Under all these circum? stances the surprise that ovcicame the recipients of the Dotices and the checKs when they got the remittances may bo imagined, und it is not much wonder that some of time "leaked." j A reporter has talked with several of these cielitors, who saw the uselessness of try in g'to conceal tho matter once it had got out. One man said: i "Well, sir, we were so astounded that we seriously discussed keeping the check ! and framing it. We were 'not going to have it, cashed, though it amounted to several thousand dollars. We thought that as an object lesson in honesty it was worth as much as the cash that it repre? sented. 1 never hal hoard of Mr. Eno. I bud beard of his father, but I never bad heard of Mr. Amos F. Eno and never Imagined that any parson of that nann. had evt r been ludebted to the firm of tvhich I am a member." One of the other creditors ofjthe firm said be thought that it would very likelv cost Mr Eno snore than hall a million of dollars to pay the debts with Interest to date. Tho thirty six year*1 interest, without compounding,amounts to a good deal more than the original debt. At 4 percent, the interest is $144 ou every Sfl?t) nf principal.

Lansing, Mich., Nov. 24.?The Lansing Journal lms landed in the regular Demo? cratic camp after having for more than a year scathingly denounced free silver and its advocates. It has been by far the most uncompromising gold Democratic newspaper in the West. The reason given for the change of pol icy is that tho "sound money Democrats, confronted as they are by the forces of the Chicago platform Democracy on tho one side anil by the cohorts of Dlngley bill Republicanism on the other are la quite as desperate a situation as was that lamous scout of Daniel Boone.who. look? ing ahead of him savs on'y 'InjuDs on the upper road and death upon the lower.' "It, therefore, casts its lot with the i 'Injuns,' say in? that the shameful ex? cesses of Republicanism, a? evidenced by eight months of the MeKinUy adminis? tration, are worse thau any threatened evils of Populism.

Washington, Nov.24.?The special ou val board apDoiuted to examine into the cost of armor-musing has designed a plant, details of which it will present to Congress. It will cost more than three million dollars, and will have a capacity of six thousand tens of armor per an? num, which is about the com Mined capac? ity of two armor plants .now supplying the cayy. The processes of manufacture will in? clude the verv latest developments in the art of metallurgy, and while tbe plans contemplate the manufacture of Harvey - Ized nickelarmoracoording'tothe methods used iu the reforged process, they will admit of easy adaptation to the new se cret Krupp process of hardening armor by the u-o of gas. The plans are shid to be perfect in every detail anil, being drawn under one of the I leading experts of the country, the speci- | lications are said to hu so well defined 1 that no difficulty is expected to arise in j securing straight bids. The board has prepared the form of ad? vertisement calling for bids fot erecting this plant, as Congress desittd that in? formation, and Secretary Long will soon issue the advertisement. It is the purpose to have all tbe plans in the secretary's hands by the llrst of the month, and if the advertisement is promptly sent out it is hoped that within three months at the latest Congress will have before it full information as to the cost of an armor [plant, as well as offers from existing plants to s?ll out to the government.

A bitter fight 1s going to he made on Mr. Massey. The deveh patents in tho recent investigation! of the Sous of Veterans history .commit tee have not been calculated to help Mr. Massey. Some things have been brought' out that will naturally be used against, him. The superintendent will have some very warm friends In the caucus and they will contest every inch of ground. Senator H. D. Flood is expected to lead the tight In behalf of Dr. Southall. He is very pronounced in his opposition-'to Mr. Massey. Hon. E. VV. Saunders is still in the field tor the speakei ship and his friends . say be will certainly nut withdraw. There is no doubt, however, of the re? election of Mr. Ryan as the presiding offi? cer of the House. It has been quite evi? dent for some time that he would have many votes tc spare.
