Three miners mate rialised a few days sge when Geerge Calder, proprietor of the Fulton oetton mills, made an assignment of his property for tbe benefit of creditors te Nathan Benten and Henry Btumgardaer. The assignment waa made public at 11:10 this morning, at whleh tlms the deed of assign ment waa filed In the recorder's offiea, Tbe failure et Mr. Calder Is a heavy one, and one that will effect a large number of people, for In a short time the mill will be dosed and two hundred operatives thrown out of employment.

Alter expending large tnms of money In remedelling and refitting that mill there eame a business depression in his line et manufactures, and he was obliged te abandon that mill, losing all the money he Invested In It. The amount of Mr. Gaidar's liabilities Is about $150,000 and the only aauta hs possesses Is the Fulton mill and the stock et raw material under prceses et manufac ture. There are two mortgages en the mill for $00,000. The first mortgage la for $30,000 and Is held by the Wiley estate.
