them an opportunity Of defence charges
affecting their position and standing in

A vIrEIniA Concern thnt was doomed BY
PHILADELPHIA CunttnI,


PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept, 22.-The Press
special from MarriopeburR, Va, says:
The Shenandoah Iron Company, at Mines,
has deiaulted on the payment OF some Of
its Indebtedness, and a bill has been filed
in the United States Circuit Court there
asking Tor an injunction and receiver.
The parties to this action are the Seventh
National Bank, the Union Trust, Sale
Deposit and Insurance Company, the
Eighth National Bank, and John Mines,
ali OF Philadelphia. The liabilities OF the
company are about 100000, $500, Of
which Is in its first mortgage bonds. The
remainder is floating indebtedness. The
Injunction and receiver are asked for by
the creditors representing the floating
debt.
The Shenandoah Company was founded
about ak years>ago. Mr.. Milnes Is the
head OF 1t, and it Is understood that the
Shenandoah Railroad Company foRtered
its interests. 1t was one OF the best known
producers Of what is called in the trade
Southern iron, and endeavored to acquire
trade by selling its products at low rate,
but ii did not meet with prosperity.
Abou; two years ago it was seeking an
agent in this city. A prominent broker
to whom apropositien was made said last
night that upon invesh .ation he learned
that the only means by which a business
connection could be carried on was by ad.
vancing the company's paper, the corpor-
alton having apparently very little avail
able capital. He declined forthat reasonto
have anything to do with it, and said that
the trade regarded the company as prac-
tically insolvent from that time on.
The placing Of the liabilities Of the cor
poration at $4,000 in the bill in equity
was, he said, q mere legal formality and
largely included watered capital. The
actual credit that the corporation has
been able to command for long time, he |
continued, was small. He did not think |
that the break would at all affect the con-
dition OF the iron trade. The failure, he
thought, was due wholly to losses on the
iron put out.
MIR. Milnes, who was also seen last night,
said that he was not in possession OF suili.
Cient data at the moment 10 give the
actual as compared with tho nominal
losses. He added that the receiver, when
would take charge OF the busi-
ness pending the settlement Of Affairs.

What an Administration Organ ThlnkS OF
Governor Hoadly.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-The Democratic
Post misses no chance to call attention to
what it regards as the exceeding weakness
Of Governor Hoadly as candidate. This
excites the more comment because this
journal is cordial supporter Of the ad-
mtnistratton. To-day its leader is on
"Ohio," and its opening paragraph the
following: 80
"We have remarked before, that il the,
Democrats win in Ohio it will be by VirtHe.
Of the superior stupidityrdf the Repub!
licans, and not through any merit Of their,
own. When they nominated Hoadly for
the second time, thereby indorsing bis ad'
ministFation and going before the people
on his record, we took it for granted that
the Republicans, having only to keep
quiet and let that act OF iinbeCility do its
work, would probably drift into victory.
We assumed that such would be the re-
suit, for we could not suppose that the Re.
publicaus would be able, even with the
best intention, to neuttaliEa the 'blunder
OF the Democrats. We gave them credit
for large powers OF asininity, but we i'm.
agined that there was limit
