plants by the creditors of the original
house caused an investigation by Friend
and Fox, which showed that S180,000 OF
the firms paper was still afioat. OF this
amount $4,000 was promptly paid, and
the liabilities win be honestly met
The history of Clarke's transactions ac-
cording to the Chicago Times, is that

Clarke had years ago been given charge of
the Chicago branch of the house, with a
working capital of 90, 900 dollars, when he
determined to wind things up He rep
resented to his partners that q good deal
OF the firms paper was afloat among Chi

to the Friend & Fox Paper Mill Company
its 10000 dollars working capital in the
Chicago firm, with an additional bonus of
5000 dollars provided the Company would
stand by him in the event of cramp
This was agreed to, and soon after this,
dissolution of partnership was announced.
Later events showed that Clarke misrep
resented facts to the Cincinnati partners,
for instead of only a few thousand dollars of
the frns notes being held by Chicago
banks, the firm was responsible to bankers,
paper manufacturers and ethers to the
amount OF nearly two hundred thousand
dollars. This was not known till Wednes-
day last, when meeting of creditors was
held here. Friend and Fox have signified

ed from Philadelphia. Jay Gould was
informed, while at Chicago, Tuesday,
that President Strong, of the Santa Fe,
had been negotiating for the purchase Of
the st. Louis and San Francisco and the
Atlantic and Pacific roads. Mr.. Gould
went to st. Louis and found, it is said,
that the Santa Fe wanted to buy the two
roads named in order to get st. Louis
connection. Gould then tried to buy
the majority of the stock, but the Santa
Fe had forestalled him. The completion
of these two roads will give line
through from St. Louis to San Francisco
alleged to be shorter by $50 miles than
any other. If these two roads are taken
possession of by the Santa Fe the South
ern Pacific line, according to this dis
patch, will be abandoned, thereby saw
ing S31 miles through New Mexico; on
the other hand, if Gould gets the lines
under his control the Santa Fe will be
compelled to construct line of its own
from Kansas City to st. Louis.
