The j. I. Case Company Attached.

RACINE, Dec. S.-The j. J. Case Plow
company, of this city, this morning iiled
an assignment to Charles II. Lee, for the
benefit OF creditors. This course was
rendered necessary on ACCOUNT q. fo,-
eign attachments being levied against
the company's property, and because
similar actions were being threat
ened at home. No preference
was made in the assignment
except for wages accrued since Novem-
Der /. The nominal value OF the assets
is $66S,0 total liabilities, estimated at
| from $3.50 900 to 100000. 1t is hoped ar
rangements may be made hereafter for
discharging the assignment and allow
ing the company to 20 on with its bust
ness, and meeting Of creditors is being
held to-day to see what can be done
Except the indebtedness to Mr.. Case in
dividually and few small secured
claims, the debts of the company do not
amount to more 100000 to $4,000.
The failure will not affect
any of the other institutions
with which Mr.. Case is identified. The
banks are secured for all advances
made, and Mr.. Case is undoubtedly
worth in available property upwards OF
81, 100000. The assignee has filed bonds
in the sum of $675,0G0, with j. l. Case
and Stephen Bull as securities.

! DECATUR, Dec. Midnight, Special
AT this hour "a destructive lire is
raging and threatens to destroy the o. =
tire south side of the pnblic square, as
the flames are still defying the forts OF
! tho tire-iighters to subdue them. Thus
far all the buildings between the Doca-
tur National bank and the Carpenter
house, six in number, have been de-
stroyed, owned by the following parties:
Renshaw, Sam Levy, Ullman Bros,
Col. Lange and Capt. Eedwick.V The
buildings We're occupied by one gro:ery
store, one shoe store, one book store, one
saloon and two butcher shops. Loss
very heavy but not obtainable to- night.
There is but little insurance on the prop
erty. The buildings destroyed were
valued at 100000.
LATER--l 80 a. m.-The houses burned
were occupied az tollows:
Mcfarland Il Mills, Commercial
Saloon.
N. C. Lewis, grocery store.
A. l.. A. Shoemaker, butcher shop.
G. w. Crickett, shoe store.
j. s. Gilliland, butcher shop.
William Haas, book store.
The wall of the First National bank
building saved the town from a much
greater loss, as everything was totally
destroyed up to the time the flames
reached the wall. This is the fourth at
tempt that has been made to burn this
property within the last six months. 1t
was the work of an incendiary. A heavy
rain is now falling.

The Explorer Arrives in EngIand-His Great
Work on the Congo.
LONDON, July 2S-HenrY NJ. Stanley, the
African explorer, arrived at Plymouth this
evening. In an interview with an Associated
Press representative. MIR. Stanley said he had
returned to England considering that he had
completed the work of establishing satisfactory
trading stations along the Congo river from
it's mouth to Stanley Pool, 400 miles by
| the river When he left the Congo country he
was suffering badly from bronchitis, but had
been mnch benefited by the sea voyage He Gu
logized the trading prospects IN the Congo eoun-
try. Mr.. Stanley considered. that Gen. Gordon
commands perfectly practicable routes of escape
from Khartoum. whether by way of Zanzibar
on the east or down the Congo to the west coast
if the Nile is blocked
/ Mr. Stanley considers that General Gordon can
/ during tho present season, ascend the Nile In
steamers from Khartoum to Gondokoro, dis
lance of 500 miles. in eight days. thence he can
proceed to Bahara and join LuptOn Bey who
commands 400 troops, having in their possession
G40, 600 of money. Gordon could then
proceed with this addition to his force, to Ian
zibar Should his soldiers refuse to take this
Journey, or should some other cause
prevent the execution of this plan, Gordon
could cross to Uganda, reach StanleyS stations,
and proceed down the Congo. Stanley con-
siders the routes travelled by Sch weinfurth, Sam
uel and Lady Baker, and the Italian and Aus
trian missionaries cannot be insurmountable to
Gordon, soldier, and traveller, and explorer
Should the garrisons at intermediate points
along the Nile be endangered, Gordon could take
them along with him. If they refused to ac-
company him at first, they would be sure
to follow after he had gone on.
Stanley believes the sendingo of large English
force to extFicate Gordon would he most
perilous undertaking, and likely to be attended
with great loss of life and EXPENSE The troops
would be unable to stand the climate.
The population of Madeira bad prepared an
ovation for Mr. Stanley when his steamer ar
rived there, but he was unable to land. owing to
quarantine regulations Mr.. Stanley was
rendered an ovation at Plymouth on his arrival.
