Another sensation was created
Sunday morning, when ii was an
nounced here that Semonin Il Co.,
who ran the Pike Hobacco ware
house, S03 West Main street. Louis
VILE, had also made an assignment
the day before. Fortunately for the
reputation for integrity Of the Lou
isville, trade this failure was not fol-
lowed by the sensational results that
were developed in Mason's case. The
Courier-Journal says the liabilities
will probably be from $4,000 TO
100000, mostly due to three Louis
vile banks. 1t is thought the assets
will be sufficient to pay dollar for
dollar. They give as the cause for
their failure the tardincss of farmers
in shipping their tobacco, on which
they had hoped to realize and reim-
burse the banks for sums secured to
advance on tobacco. The Fidelity
Trust Co. is now in charge as assign
ee. Mr.. Aaron Williams represented
this house in the Clarksville district
