sensational Developments.
LOUISVILLE. Sept. 23.-rhe develop
ments this afternoon in the assignment
Of the Newcombe Buchanan Company
were of sensational nature. Hereto
fore the assignment Of the company has
been considered as formal petition for
an extension of time in which To take
up their paper. This time the assign
ment is made general, and George w.
Harris is named as the assignee TO make
final disposition of all the property of
the partners for the benefit of their
or, ditors. Very little sensation WAS 90
casioned, the predominant feeling being
one eff regret that the firm had gone
under. Geo. Q. and Andrew Buchanan
left the city on Sunday, leaving no clse
to their whereabouts. Ii was then that
suspicious of orookedness we're first
aroused and rumore set atloat. The ru-

afternoon, when George w. Harris, the
assignee OF the company, resigned and
turned the entire affair over 10 the
