The New York Warehouse ana
Security COMPANY.

New YORK, September 0.-lt appears that
the trouble in the New York Warehouse and
Security Company arose from relations will
two of its directors s. Francis Skiddv, in
porter, of No. lOl Wall street. and Sheppard
Candy. of No. 80 Wall sire, t-hOth heavy
sugar importers. They were directors i'll
the above company and also directors of the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad Com
pany, now in course of construction. They
had invested 50 heavily in this road and else
where that their large le'0urctS ana excel
lent credit could not carry them through,
and they therefore obtained loans from the
Security Company and other corporations
The Warehouse and Security Company, how
ever, had large amount OF paper in circu-
latiop which was about to mature, and un'
less some Of the loans which had been made
TO Sklddy and Candy were taken up they
could not meet their obligations. Frequent
consultations were had, but without salts
factory result. A meeting of the directors
was therefore called yesterday morning, and
it was resolved to suspend temporarily ant
call 4 meeting of the creditors on Thursday
to take action in the matter.
Neither of the houses with which MesSrs.
Skiddy and Candy are connected have Us yet
suspended.
A director of the Warehouse and Security
Company states that rhe company's assets
are about S2,500,00O, but does not know
how much Of this is in the form OF unpaid
loans. The liabilities amount to 81, SOC, 800,
The Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroad
owe the company 81 100000. Whether The
suspension OF the company will be tempo
rary or final depends entirely upon the de-
cisiOn OF bhe creditors.

may be seen on Franklin. Grace, and Main !,

and children. These reckes; persons are

have no sympathy with any person who may
he convicted and severely punished for such
conduct
