list of the debts and liabilities" of the
SAID firm; both statements were sworn to
as being true and correct. ~ =.
As the long columns of figures showed
no footlnes. we applied to. Mr.. wilkins
| for correct totals. aud he supplied US with
the following:
Estimated Value of Assets.......... 0 1! 9
Total Liabilities DVs'o"1 Q"
While the figures have q very discour-
aging lock to depositors, Mr.: wilkins
still insists that Wilkins and Smith will
| pay every dollar Of their Indebtedness.
For the sake of the large number OF men
and women having all their hard earned
savings IN the bank, we hope that MI. Will
kins is not over sanguine. We must say
that the failure has the appearance OF be-
ing = very bad one. We cannot see
how $1OO, 600 of assets can be made to
pay 500, 600 of debts and the expenses OF
converting assets into cash; and with the
above showing, we cannot see how the
creditors can reasonably hope for more
than 50 per cent. Of their claims.
The value of the property mortgaged to
Mower county. to secure $21 ,218, is set
down at $19, 100; the value of the prop
erty mortgagcd to Wentworth Hayes, to
secure SIC, 900. il $22, 700: w. H. Strong
to secure 5000. is $3.50; J. G. Easton,

The talk was had with Mr.. Wander
bilt while he was coming into the city

bilt had said that the limited express

his people would do the same:
remarked: "But, Mr.. Wander
bllt, the people have become so ac-
customed to the limited trains that
they would object to their withdrawal
and after eli, even II they don't pay,
you would run them for the public
wouldn't you"

cally: "Oh, the public be id! What
does the public care for the railroad s
