THE CRASH IN IRON.
What Is Said OF the Failure OF the Aver
Iron Company-The Losses.

Iron Company-The Losses.
CLEVELAND, Feb. 19.--Horbert Aver Of
Chicago, did not come to this city as it was
reported he would. No meeting of the direc-
tors of Brown, Bonncll & Co., of Youngstown,
has been called. Amasa Stone, heavy stock
holder, said to-day that he could give no
opinion as to whether their mills would shut
down. Mr.. Matthews, representing j. v.
Ayers Sons, Is here, but is secluded. Mr..
Griffin, receiver of the Union iron and steel
works, Of Chicago, is here on business for
that concern. The Republic Iron Mining COM
pany to-day attached Brown, Bonnell & Co.'s
works, at Youngstown, for $4,000. ''
YOUNGSTOWN, 0HIo.. Feb. 19.--The Netps-
Register in speaking of the failure of the Aver
Iron company this afternoon, says: Joseph
Colwell, cashier of the Commercial National
bank, Cleveland came here on Saturday af-
ternoon and had a mortgage filed in the re-
oorder's Office for $500,000. The mortgage is
dated April 3, 1882, and made by Messrs
Brown, BOnnell & Co. to Daniel p. Ello and
John Hay, of Cleveland, trustees, to secure
payment of one hundred bonds of $500 each.
1t is signed by Herbert G, Aver as president,
and A. w. Jones, as secretary of Brown, Bon
nell g. Co. The signature of Mr.. Ayers was
offered in New York and certified to by s. B.
| Goodall. By the'terms Of tho mortgage 1t
covers all the property owned by Brown,
Bonnell g. Co. here. Mr.. Hay is SON -in-law
of Amasa Stone, of Cleveland. Further search
among the records failed TO reveal any other
mortgage given by Brown, Bonnell & Co.
This indicates that Cleveland gentlemen Of
great wealth really own the larger part Of the
stock of Brown, Bonnell & Co., and If this bo
| true the wheels Of the mill here will continue
| to revolye.
| CHICAGO, Feb ia crop of rumors sprung
up on change to-day and gained some cur
rency in business and news circles. They
were all directed toward shaking confidence
| in the stability of values, and were for the
most part stories Of heavy failures. One fall
ure was said to be that Of prominent iron
firm, while another was stated TO be in the
Wholesale grocery trade. There is no truth
whatever in these stories, and general feel
