BUSTED UP IN BUSINESS.
The Large Wholesale Grocery House of
Knowles, Cloyes & Co, Chicago, Pushed
to The Wall.

CHICAGO. Dec 24-The astonishing lntelli-
gence is given out tonight that the wholesale
grocery firm of Knowles, ClOyes It Co., No. %
River street, have suspended. They were en-
gagged chiefly in the coffee, tea and spice trade,
but say their failure has no connection with
the eastern failures in the coffee trade. The
liabilities are 1925, 900 to $3.50, 900, and the as
sets, consisting of stock and collectabe
bills, amount 10 $450.000. They had cash
capital of only 100000, yet their business
this year amounts 10 over $4,000 600. Col
lections have been delayed this winter by bad
roads in the country and the collapse was inc
vitable. Several large local creditors were the
most active in pushing them TO the wall but
their liabilities are largely to parties in New
York, Baltimore, Boston, Portland and Phila-
delphia, whose names could not he learned to-
night. They went through the panic and fire
with excellent credit and standing, and will
doubtless resume after having paid in full.

Forney's MoneU--The DishOnOred Chec6 at
the Girard Bank.
philadelphia Press.


Col. Forney was supremely and Curl
ously Indifferent in money matters. One
instance that strongly illustrates this
trait has caused many hearty laugh
among his acquaintance. Despite the
advice of many friends, among them
Pierce Butler, the husband of Fanny
Kemble, he determined to invest a large
sum of money in new enterprise-a rice
cleaning machine, or something of that
sort. He felt financially able 10 do this,
bv reason of having made sale of some
Lake Superior property. He filled out a
check on the Girard bank for very large
amount, and intrusted it to friend for
collection. When the piece OF paper
was presented to the paying
teller. that official first scratched
his chin and then went to see the presi-
dent of the bank, who at that time was
Mr.. Boxer, father of the Hon. George ID.
Boxer. Mr.. Boxer came forward smil-
ingly and said that while Col Forney had
quite large sum of money on deposit in
the bank, the amount to his credit was
not equal to that called for by the check,
but still if Col. Forney would step down
to the bank himself the check would be
honored. The friend returned to the
Press office in an indignant frame of
mind, and told Col. Forney that he had
made him the bearer of check that had
been dishonored, for the reason that there
was not sufficient funds in the bank.
"Some mistake, sir; some mistake"
replied the big-hearted editor. 81 have
much more than that on deposit in the
- bank" and he uttered the name
of a familiar depository other than the
Girard.
"But did not go there" replied the
friend in amazement "The check is
drawn on the Girard bank"
"My! myl" said Col. Forney, s'did l
make such silly mistaken Why, have
not penny in the Girard bank. l did
not intend to send there"
''Oh, yes, you have large deposit in
the Girard bank, answered the friend,
abut it was not sufficient to meet this
check"
ga mistake, sir, mistake" replied
the colonel. ~ have not penny there. !"
A visit was made to the Girard bank,
however, and Col Forney found to his
amazement that he was much richer than
he thought In the same way, when the
Longacre's bank in Lancaster failed, Col.
Forney found that he had longtime de-
post there that he had known nothing
of. 1t was this indifference in money
matters that exemplified probably as well
as any other trait the lavish disposition OF
the man now mourned; lavish not only
| with his wealth, but with the more pre-
ciOus treasures of his heart,

EX-SENATOR EDGERrON.

Yankton La,cgers Pleased With His Ap-
pointn,ert as Chief Justice of Dakota
Especial Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.]
YAKNToN, D. 4. Dec. 22.-The news OF
the appointment of ex-senator Edgerton,
of Minnesota, as Chief Justice of Dakota,
was received here with the greatest in
terest. The majority of the Yankton
lawyers opposed Judge Shannon, and they
are happy On the other hand the mass
es of the people are disappointed. They
feel that, while Judge Shannon has
served two terms, he is still needed here.
In discussing the matter to-day q
leading Yanktopian said to a friend
of the Judge that the plain truth of the
matter was that, so long as Judge Shan
non is on the bench, anyone is liable to
be hauled up. Judge Shannon himself
saws that he is glad the affair is settled,
and that he is more than satisfied with
the result. There is now continuous
daily work for court here and elsewhere
for the next five or six months, and he is
satisfied that in his present physical con-
dition he could not stand the strain.
The United States district court is DOW
in session, and the judge will probably
continue court till the new chief justice
qualities. After beng relieved Judge
Shannon will hang out his single In
Yankton, and will no doubt work into an
immediate lucrative practice.

coin. The soldier buried the gold, and year
or more afterwards returned to the scene of

members of his regiment for souvenirs, in

$4,000, being part of the money divided
among the confederate presidents retinue, at

that subsequent to the capture of Dayis, a

covered by the soldiers in house in the rear
