HALF A MILLION LIABILITIES.

Paige & Co.'s Affairs in Bad Shape-CannOt

ment.
FOND DU LAC, March 27.-Investigation
of the affairs of the lumber firm of Paige
Bros, of Davenport, Ia, one partner in
which recently suicided, causes unexpected
developments, and the firms liabilities are
now declared to exceed half a million.
OSHKOSH, March Plat a meeting of
bankers just held here a statement of the
condition, liabilities and assets of S. B. and
j. A. Paige, and Paige & Sex Smith, the
lumber company of which the Paiges are
chief stockholders and indorsers, were laid
before the meeting. Although different
fnanciers present figured somewhat
differently on the assets, the result
shows about as follows: Liabilities,
Paige, Dixon & Co., at Davenport, $780,
600. 1t is estimated that the business closed
out there would make loss of from $780,
600 to $4,000. Liabilities of the Paige
Sex Smith Lumber Co., at Superior City,
of which the Paiges are responsible, about
$324,G0O. The estimated assets in that di-
rection, on pine lands, lumber on land d,logs
at mill, ETC., are about 100000, at low
estimate, but it is claimed by Paige and
Sex Smith to be third or so greater in
valuation. The firm owes 100000 to
banks in Oshkosh, some in st. Paul, Green
Bay and Neenah. The firm are unable to
negotiate loan of $4,000 from the banks
here, to pay the amount now due the
hands and loggers at Superior City, and
will make an assignment, and are now
looking for proper man for assignee.

MONTREAL, March 27.-Lord 6 Mum, the
largest shippers here of western produce
to Great Britain, have assigned, with liza
bilities of $250,000. They expect to make
good showing, the embarrassment having
arisen from delay on getting forward
goods to maritime ports, especially to New
foundland, Quebec and Molsons. The
banks are interested, but both say they are
secured for discounts to the firm.
NEW YORK, March 25.-Ely Weichman &
Co., cloth jobbers, have made an assign
ment. The house has been in business for
thirty years.
PITTsBURG, Penn, March 27-The fail
| ure of G. P. Markle's Sons, paper manu-
facturers, is the principal topic of COM
mercial circles to-day. AS stated last
night the liabilities are about 100000,
and the assets close to a million. Mr..
Kreder, chief bookkeeper, followed Capt.
Markle to Chicago, by the request of the
latter's brother, and succeeded without
much difficulty in persuad1ng him to make
an assignment. Markle offers no expla-
nation for his conduct beyond stating that
he was tired and wanted rest. He had
been drinking, and was still under the in
fuence of liquor. He made no offer to re-
turn the money, although acquainted with
the fact that his action had ruined the
firm. AS the money was his own it cannot
be taken from him in any legal way, and
for that reason no proceedings can be in
stituted against him. AS near as can be
learned he took with him $60,000 of the
firms money.

A TOBACCO DECISION SUSTAINED.
G. B. Raum, commissioner of internal
revenue. expresses his entire concurrence
in the recent decision of Judge Acheson,
at Pittsburg, in the tobacco case of the
United States VS.. Jenkinson. The COM
missioner says the decision is within the
lines of the railing of his Office to the
effect that duly qualified dealer in to-
bacco, who fully complies with all the
forms of law in making sales from an
original factory package, cannot be legal
ly held responsible for the acts of any
person who may make purchases from
him.

NEW YORK, March 27.-Although money
was easier this morning the weakness in
cheap rate might have done the general
list, and as no buyers appeared except in a
small way the result was weakening in
prices all around. Central Pacific was sold
freely by the same parties who assisted the
drop on yesterday and lost 2per cent. Its
connecting link, the Union, was demoral-
ized also, and sold below 95. The Wabashs
were entirely neglected and lower, though
good earnings are reported, the third week
of the present month showing gain of
about 100000. Louisville & Nashville
increases $4,000. Money, though down
to 8 at last, failed to benefit the situation.
It was difficult to find good reason
for the weakness in Central Pacific.
A story from Boston, however, is to the
effect that the officials of the road have re-
Gently purchased few million dollars of
Atlantic & Pacific securities, and will
transfer a certain amount of California
business to their new road. This story
has been denied, bat the fact is plain that
the Central Pacific syndicate is interested
in more than one California line which
must ultimately affect the earnings of
their old road. 1t bas also been rumored
that insiders have sold another block of
Central Pacific stock in order to provide
funds for the completion of the Southern
Pacific road. 1t is alleged that one house
has sold $4,000 shares for inside account.
The trustworthiness of this rumor remains

Matilda Peters, eighteen years of age, and
a resident of this place for the last six
months. She left the house of her sister,
in the western part of the city, at 8 o'clock,

the affair is that she started in a direction

for suicide has yet been discovered and
the police are mystifed.
