Another Big Failure.

ST. PAUL, May lO.-The Northwest
ern Manufacturing & Car company, of
Saltwater, Mimi, of which D. NJ. Sabin
is president, C. D. Gillfllan, vice-presi-
dent, and C. r. Stemson, second vice
president and general manager, failed to-
day. Director Seymour, the former head
of Seymour, Sabin & Co, which was
merged into the Northwestern Car COM
pany, stated tonight that the liabilities
of the company were 81, 900, 900; assets,
81, SOC, 900; that the company was being
pressed by a number of creditors on obi
cations which they had expected TO meet
on money secured from the East; that
the suspension of the Marine bank and
the failure of Ward & Grant had so
shaken the confidence in credits that
they had found it impossible to
secure the expected advance to prevent
attachments and the tying up of their
property. The company had resolved to
have a receiver appointed, and expect to
discharge all their obligations, and after
temporary embarrassment resume bust
ness as a corporation. 1t is understood
that A. H. Brown, of Hearsey, Bean &
Brown, of Saltwater, has been selected
as receiver. The Northwestern Car Co,
had a great back set in the Saltwater
penitentiary fire last winter and for some
time past stock has been sent in freely in

Chief Justice Marshall's Statue
Unveiled at Washington.
Out of Luck.

Fort WORTH, May 1O.-A heavy rob
berry occurred on the westboumd Texas
Pacific train, just as it pulled into the
Union depot here tonight at 9 O'Clock, in
which an Italian or Spanish priest named
}. Casino, from Chicago, on his way to
California, was robbed of Sl3, 900.
While the priest was paying for lunch in
Dallas early this evening he
made a display of his money.
After the train left Dallas he was APP
preached by three men who tried to make
his acquaintance but were unsuccessful.
As the train was Stacking up in the de
pot at Fort Worth three strangers
crowded on the ear platform with the
priest. One seized his arms while an
other rapidly searched him, finding Il
large p~ocketbook containing all his money
in his hip pocket. The priest recognized one
of the robbers as one of the men who
attempted to make his acquaintance but
could not seize either before they disap-
peared in the crowd After the train had
left Fort Worth a short distance the priest,
who continued aboard, was again on the
platform and saw and recognized the
robbers as he got on the train. This fact
has been telegraphed ahead to the
authorities and it is believed at least one
of the robbers will be captured yet
tonight.

How Does Could Stand

NV YORK, May l0.-lnquiries di-
rected from Chicago reached this city to-
day in regard to the financial condition of
Jay Gould. As nothing has been heard
in New York to excite such inquiries
Gould was sought and an explanation re-
quested. Gould said This question is
not the only one of the kind asked here
to-day. A Wall street news agency yes
terday set afoat an entirely %unfounded
statement that the Union Pacific would
pass the July dividend. This was done
as an offset, the purpose being to influence
Union Pacific stock. There was not even
a meeting of the Union Pacific directors.
This morning it was openly announced on
the street hat there would be an attack
on Western Union and Missouri Pacific,
and in pursuance with this laudable pur-
pose the information on which your in
quiry is based was telegraphed broadcast
over the country. l have received mum
erous dispatches inquiring into the truth
Of the statement hat | was in financial
difficulty. 1t is needless to say that there
is not a word of truth in it. The whole
purpose of the rumor was to create a
decentralization in the market 50 that
purchases could be made by heavy buyers
at reduced figures. | am inclined to
think, said Mr.. Gould, with 4 twinkle
Of the eye and glancing toward the stock
indicator, that they were disappointed.
Both stocks aimed at are firm and my in
formation is that the buyers are strong
men," An intimate friend of Gould in
formed a reporter that he Could had
recently given substantial aid to many
who were crippled by the late troubles in
Wall street and he had been a large buyer
to-day, He pronounced the story of his
friends difficulty as a ridiculous inven-
