,Y' The N. Y. Tribune, of the 3Oth ut.,
speaking Of MIR. Darnum's reported failure,
says:
"As we understand the facts in regard to
the unfortunate entanglng alliance between
the Jerome Clock Company and Mr. Barnum,
the latter, for the purpose among other in.
ducemcnts, of establishing branch of the
manufactory at East Bridgeport, where he
was largely interested in land, agreed with
the Clock Company to endorse and accept for
them to the amount of 10000 dollars
The notes and acceptances endorsed by him
were generally left in blank as regarded the
time they had to run, with the understanding
that they were to be used mainly in renewals.
He finds at last that the paper out, with his
name on it, is over $45O,OOO. Ii compelled
to pay it, IL would require the sacrifice of
nearly $l,000000 worth of such property rs
he owns to accomplish it. The whole affair,
we understand, is to be sifted through the
law, and what the result will be time only can
tell. MIR. Barnum, we believe, provides
promptly for his own private liabilities us
usual. He has also amply secured Mr.. Leland
and Mr.. Miller, who are his bondslnen in the
Mum case. When he made the endorse.
ments he supposed he was fully secured, but
on examination, the assets of the Company
are found to be of much less value than esti
mated. 1t doubtful if the concern could
have paid its debts fifty cents on the dollar any
time in the last thee years.
