Louisville Business Men Startled by
Simultaneous Crashes.


Simultaneous Crashes.
LOUISVILLE, KY, May 17.-Busiuess
circles were startled this afternoon by a
triple assignment, the firms of Davis, Ira
bue & Co., wholesale dealers in cotton.
Trabue, Davis 4 Co., cotton factors, and
Davis, Mallory & Co., wholesale dealers
in dry goods and notions, at Nos. 10 and
III West Main street. The three houses
are inter-cOnnected The members of
the first named firm are w. A. Davis,
Richard Trabue and Samuel T. Mallory !;
OF the second, James Trabue deceased y
W. A. Davis and Richard Trabue, and of
the third, ;. T. Mallory and w. A. Davis.
In addition to these firms assignments
Messrs. ST. Mallory, Richard Trabue and
w. A. Davis make individual assign
ments. The assignees are Judge Alex.
Humphrey and Col. st. John Boyle. The
liabilities are from $l3S,000 to $500
II is claimed that the assets are sufficient
to cover this. The assignment is sup
posed to have been caused by slow pay
ments in the South. where nearly all the
firms debtors are located. The creditors
are principally 10 the East. 1t is not
thought that the liabilities of Davis, NAL
lory & Co. will exceed 500, 900, but those
Of Trabue, Davis & Co. will go much
higher,

Three Women Fighting for the Pc

Three Women Fighting for the Pos
session of a 5-Year-OId Child.
New YORK, Aug. pa sensation was
created on Ninth avenue this afternoon
by three well-tiressed women, who were
struggling desperately with one another.
policeman, coming up, found a pretty,
timely dressed little girl in the centre of
the sRlelee, and being pulled 81 and
hauled none way and another by
the excited oombatants. He escorted the
whole party to the station house, where
an explanation of the affair disclosed
an interesting family skeleton from a
Philadelphia closet. The women were
the wife and two sisters of Thomas Ward,
q well-to-do resident of the city of Broth
erly Love. The girl was his daughter.
After seventeen years of happy welded
life Mr.. Ward, about year ago, left his
wife, alleging that she was untrue to him.
He took their four children and put them
with his mother at her home in this city.
Since then the chief occupation of both
husband and wife has been the
stealing back and forth of those children.
The wife first managed TO regain possess
sion of them all last March, but in Nav
Mr.. Ward and his brother made a raid
and recaptured the three younger ones
while they were on their way to Sun
day school. Afterward one of the boys
was again gotten possession of by the
mother, but the two little girls
remained in Wards possession
in his mothers house in this city.
This morning Mrs. Ward came over from
Philadelphia, and, obtaining permission
TO occupy the parlOr of the house opposite
that in which the children were, lay in
wait for the five-year-Old girl. When the
child went out for walk in the custody
of her two aunts, Mrs. Ward bounced
upon the party like hawk. The Police
Justice committed the child to the custody
Of the Children's Society until an investi-
CATION can be made, and sent the quarrel
ing women nome. One of the vicissitudes
through which the little one has passed in
the course OF being banded back and
forth between her father and mother has
been change OF name. She was origi-
nally baptised according to the Presby-
terrain faith as Sarah Estellie. but her
aunts are Catholics, and they had her re-
chrlstened and named Mary Susannah.
