SUDDEN DEATH.

Special 70 the RegiSter,
81. CLRSyuLE, o., May l2.-Our COM
munity was greatly shocked this evening at
the announcement of the sudden death OF
Hon. Robert f. Chambers, which occurred
at about clock, from rheumatism of the
heart, after an illness of only two or three
days and before majority of his friends had
even known of his serious Illness. Judge
Chambers was one of the most prominent
members of the Belmont County Bar and
his death following so closely on that Of
Judge Cowcn creates q terrible break IN
the Bar Association. He was elected
a member Of the Ohio Legislature in 1867
and in 1870 he was the Democratic candi-
date for Congress against John A. Bing-
ham. In 1874 he was elected Common
PIeas judge IN this subdivision of the
Eighth Judicial district, which position he
filed with signal ability. Since his retire
ment from the bench he has enjoyed large
and lucrative law practice. He was man
well known and hOnored throughout the
county and the announcement of his death
will be received everywhere with genuine
sorrow. He was 80 years of age. Funeral
will occur Wednesday afternoon at :

tucky Conference, where the charges were
investigated by committee that de-
cided they were not sustained. The presid-
ing officer, Bishop Hood. dissented from
that conclusion and brought the matter to
the General Conference, which, after an ek-
citing discussion sustained his rulings The
matter is now before the Conference for its
action to-day. Last week it was considered

youngest of FIVE bishops, and an eloquent

THE SALTWATER FAILURE.
Brighter Prospects for the Swamped Fir

Brighter Prospects for the SwamPed ffrm'
ST PAU, MINI, May l2-Two days
having elapsed since the announcement OF
the failure Of the Northwestern Car and
Manufacturing Company of Saltwater. Op-
pSrtnnity fora careful diagnosis of the case
has been afforded Senator ID. NJ Sabin Is
president of the company. Though the
failure OF this company was not wholly a
surprise to the business public it neverthe-
less caused considerable excitement Thus
far the actual facts are hard to get at. ).
r. Stimsnn. vice president and general man
aper of the company, states that the habIll-
lie. will not exceed 81 .OOO, 900, and that the
assets will be $1,000. 600, Of which $1,000
VrO are in accounts and bills receivable.
The failure. he saws was due To the general
depression prevailing, and to the low price
In wheat and to slow collections from farm
ers About 81 100000 Of the assets is
made up of farmers notes which, while con-
sidered good are at tprcSeut hard to collect.

and Brown. Saltwater lumbermen, has been
appointed receiver.
Simultaneously with the car company
failure. the 6rm of J. II. Townsend L Co,
millers. suspended. They were intimately
connected With the car company.
In March. 1852. the firm of SEYMOUR
Sabip 4 Co. Of Saltwater was merged into
tbe Northwestern Car and Manufacturing
Company. with capitSl of S5,OOOOOO,
divided into preferred stock Of So, ,0OO, 900
and 3. 600 900 Of common. The failure is
said to be indirectly due - the
Suspension of Grant 6 Ward,
of New York. For some time past the
companv has been short o. funds, and Sen
ator Sabin's last trip to New York was for
the purpose of negotiating large block OF
the stock. This L. q. Goodhue, the secre-
tary of the company, said he had nearly
succeeded in doing through Grant & Ward,
ubon the failure of the latter was an-
rounced, and the negotiations came to
naught. -.
The compauy has Oh hand $500, 900
worth of iron which was bought on credit
and is sufficient to last :hree years, while
their farm machinery is sid on long terms;
II is not byheyed the embarrassment will
