POwderly, concerning the factional quar-
rels which have existed in the organiza-

upon several topics, but the most ImpOr-
tant are political questions and the action

KOssUTH, MARX & CO.'S FRAUD.
Judge Van Brunt Puts the Well
Known Jewellers in a Bad Light.


NEW YORK, Dec. 2l.--In the special
term OF the Supreme Court to-day Judge
Van Brunt gave decision that the as
signment of the firm of Kossuth, Marx &
Co., the we'll known Maiden Lane jewel
lers and diamond dealers, made in Sep
tember, 1885, was null and void. He de-
clared it to be the cOnsummatiOn OF a
scheme TO defraud their creditors, who
were chiefly foreigners, and ordered 1t 10
be set aside on those grounds. The firm
was composed of three brothers, Mr.. Kos
suth and Adolphus and Jacob Marx. The
firm failed in that month for over
a million dollars. The failure created
considerable excitement both here and
abroad in the trade. Attachments were
at once procured against the property of
the firm and suits were brought TO set
aside the assignment, on the ground of
fraud, both by home and foreign creditors.
The firm had extensive foreign dealings.
Jacques Myers and other London
creditors joined in the suits, and the case
was tried before Judge Van Brunt last
month. His decision given to-day states
that while there is no direct proof that
the firm paid certain claims, evidently
fraudulent, yet circumstances point that
way and indicate that the firm had made
long preparations for the assignment. He
said the 1irm had protected friends
and relatives at the expense of others
abroad. The individual members of the
nrm drew heavily for expenses. Tne
notes OF Charles Rausch, a debtor, were
accepted and ne was released from pay
ment on tue notes. Their system of book
keeping was doctOred to deceive. All of
the circumstances, to the mind OF the
court, were suspicious, therefore his de-
cision was against the validity of the as
slgnment.
A settlement has been effected by Marx
& Co., the firm which was forced to sus-
pend in the panic last Wednesday, and
Ludwig Marx will he reinstated TO men,

meeting of the committee on Thursday
next.
BANKERS SUSPEND PAYMENT.
MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 2l.-The private
banking house ofV . q. Hush & Co. sus-
pended payment this morning. The cause
Of the failure is said 10 be the necessity of
Mr.. Hush to carry paper of jackson 81
Collins. owners OF the Puritan iron mine,
on which he was an indorser to the extent
OF $500, 600 or 100000. The bank itself is
said to be solvent and Mr.. Hush himself
is worth at least $150,000. 1t Is believed
that he will be able to pay in full.

NOVEM Der.

The year is waning! Solemn sounds
are heard
Among the branches of each wind-tossed
tree
Brown looks the grass no floral gems
we see;
Forsaken nests by winds are stirr'd,
And not by wing of bird.
The skies look old-wind- driven clouds
scud by, M
While fitful gales whirl sere, dry leaves
away;
Fair once like friends who come to US
one day,
Creep to the heart, bring love-light to
the eye,
Then droop and fade and die.
Yet, while winds chill and summer joys
depart,
A host of other pleasures now doth
come;
Brothers and sisters scattered. all come
home,
Thanksgiving cheer abounds, while fond
smiles start,
As heart responds to heart.
Then, curtains down, around the fire we
press.
To sing and jest, to romp and laugh and
play;
But while the fun goes round, each heart
can say,
November brings Thanksgiving, Lord.
we bless
Thee for our happiness ~
