A New Feature of May Bros Failure
"a stock Seized at Ottum.
wa, Iowa.

A very important development in the
failure of the May Brothers. OF this city,
came to public knowledge at Oltumwa,
Iowa, yesterday. through an attachment
which the sheriff of Wapello county
placed On the large crockery store of Mr.
Kubitshek & Co.. in that city. for unse-
cured creditors. whom the Democrat says
G.. L. Gould. of Davenport, represents.
Their creditors are twelve in number, and
the amount represented in the attach
ments is about $1,000. The National
Glass association of Pittsburg, is the lar
gest creditor, the claim being $1,000. A
house in New York comes next with 49,
900.
The attached stock of kubltshek &
Co., comprises seven carloads of crockery
and glassware, lamps, etc, which, it is
alleged, were shipped by May Brothers.
from this city, about the 1st of Deem
Der, for Ottumwa-and that same week
the store was opened by the firm named.
The May Brothers failed on the 2Sth Of
December, with liabilities aggregating
about $4,000, and assets valued at
about $4,000. 1t is averred by the
creditors represented in the Ottumwa
seizure, that the goods were shipped to
Ottumwa via the c., NJ. & St. p, via
their Iowa lines, around by Cedar Rap
ids. Kubitsheck & Co. assert that they
bought the goods outright in bona .fde
sale, and paid cash for them. Previous
to that Mr.. G. was running grocery
store. The creditors allege that the ship
ment of these goods was a part OF a
scheme on the part of May Bros. TO de-
fraud their creditors
It is likely that there will be some ex-
citing litigation over the matter, as the
May Brothers declare that the transaction
was legitimate and honest. The boxes,
bales and barrels which contained the
goods are all branded with the marks OF
May Brothers, and there is no denial il
is claimed. as TO the identity of the goods,
the Ottumwa Courier, in paragraph
concerning the attachment, says:
The difficulty arises out Of the fact OF
! the failure o. May Bros, and ii is charged
that they fraudulently disposed of their
stock. The gentlemen composing the firm
of kubitshek & Co. are among our most
| reliable citizens, and those acquainted
with them will be slow to believe that
they would in any way be parties to L
! fraudulent transaction of any kind,

As to CoIlegeaSludents.

The following relative to decision of
an eastern court will be Of interest to
many in this city, as we have here col
lege which is attended by students from
abroad:
Just prior to the last presidential elec>
ton George II. Perry, student at the
Yale theological seminary, was refused
permission to qualify as a voter OF New
Haven, Conn, because it was not proven
that he intended to become permanent
resident of that city and state, and further
because he received al / from his parents,
residents of Manhattan, Kan. Perry
brought suit to prove that the selectmen
was wrong, and the case was argued at
the December term of the supreme court
of that state, Ex-Governor Ingersoll APP
pearing for the selectmen and Judge
Lynde Harrison, chairman of the repub'
lican state committee for Perry. The de-
cision advises that the complaint was in
sufficient This is looked upon as a vic
tory for the selectmen, and will probably
go on record as precedent when the
question of admitting students as electors
is again brought up.

A Pi,lab.e Wreck

Since last Saturday morning NJ, mher
of one of the strongest and best known
firms of neighboring Iowa town has been
in the city on tear. He came on bust,
ness to the city, and the night after his
arrival be commenced .he spree which
has been prolonged until now. The clerk
at the hotel where he is stopping says to
his knowledge the visitor has not allowed
a morsel to pass his lips since Sunday
noon, when he began drinking heavily,
That night he asked to have liquor sent
TO his room, but this was refused him,
The next morning he was out early, and
be has kept up Il constant trod from the
hotel to the street ever since. He soon
got out of money, and he pawned his
watch and then his overcoat, and having
exhausted all the funds derived from
these sources, he goes from saloon to
saloon begging drink. which is refused
him He goes back TO the hotel, but is
soon out over the same beat again. He i:
on the verge of delirium tremens, and the
members of the firm have been notified
by the hotel people, as well as by friends
of the unfortunate man here, and they
have promised to send for him. He is a
moral and mental wreck, and almost a
physical one in appearance, as his ill.claC
form shivers along the streets.

For the past few days an Immense
number of people have been seen on oul
streets from Davenport, Moline, Gencseo'
Cambridge, Port Byron and other adja'
cent towns, attracted by the great dis
count sale OF dry goods.
Flannels, blankets, muslins, prints
ginghams, canton flannels, and all staple
goods, in fact every article in McCabe's
Eve large stores are all included in the
123 per cent discount sale. No wonder
the crowd gets larger and their sales are

cent off, at the closing partnership sale OF

Towels, napkins, table linens and
crashes, rarely ever pay profit OF l23
per cent to any merchant, yet McCabe
puts these all in with the 12a per cent oil
bringing many of them down below
actual first cost. His reasons are obvious
when you know he has to raise 100000
in twenty days, from commencing of the
sale.

THE NEW BRIDGE.
VIII it be Built in the Spring ..-.Ru-
m0rs and Indications Point In
that Direction.

Several times within the last few
months the ARGUS has alluded to the ont
look for the construction }of the new
bridge between this city and Davenport,
at the western limits early in the spring.
The indications have pointed that way
for some time, and there is no better ev-
idence of some such movement than the
action of the c., B. & Q. railroad in
spending $4,000 in the construction of .
new approach to this city the past season
and which is not yet entirely completed,
but will be as soon as favorable wealth
or opens. While this great road
doubtless considers Rock Island an i'm
portant shipping point, it would not be
apt to expend such sum here if it in
tended to use it merely rs terminal
point, and when the new line is conplet-
ed from st. Louis to st. Paul, it is prob
able that sub train will answer the pur-
pose from Rock Island to Barstow, as
considerable time would be lost in run
ming into this station. 1t is therefore
reasonable to expect the c. B. & Q. con
templates fulfilling determination which
it has long entertained of entering Iowa
at this point, and extending a line TO
Muscatine, and thence southwest until
the main line is intersected, thus forming
| virtually two lines across the Hawkeye
state.
Of course the railroad officials are as
close as clans on the subject, but there is
a mysterious reflection on their
silence, and the probabilities are
that there Is considerable more fact in the
rumors which are afioat. than fancy. The
ARGUS has talked to number of bust
ness men of Rock Island, and men who
are interested in the bridge matter, and
none have denied the probability of the
construction of the bridge next spring.
