VOLUNTARY ASSIGNMENTS.
A WeII-KnOWn Jeweler Turns over
His stock.


Yesterday Mr.. Jacob MOrgansten, a
wholesale and retail jeweler doing business
on Sibley street between Fourth and Fifth,
made voluntary assignment TO BENJAMIN
ii. Plechner for the benefit of his creditors.
Mr.. Morganstern has been hard pressed by
some of his creditors for some time, num-
Der of claims having been placed i'm the
hands Of attorneys here i'm ST. Paul for col
lection. He has managed TO keep along i'm
his business by paying in one way or an
other many of these claims and making
temporary provisions for others. His as
signment was, however. precipitated
by an execution for S113.25 obtained
in Minneapolis in favor of Holmes.
Booth IL Hayden of Connecticut, The sheriff
made levy under this execution yesterday
and took property enough from the store to
satisfy it. 1t is claimed, however. by the
attorneys of Mr.. MOrgansten, MeSsrs.
Rodgers a. Hardy, that the goods SO taken
cannot be held under this execution as the
law has not been complied with in several
particulars. No schedule of assets or liza
bilities has yet been filed. Mr.. MOrganstern
formerly had place of business on Jackson
street and has been in business here in St
Paul for something more than eight years.

Mr.. Plechner said he knew nothing about

been made, and that he had been appointed

no information whatever as TO the amount
Of the liabilities, the value of the stock in
the store, or the residences of the creditors.
1t was reported yesterday that one of the
banks in st. Paul had between So. 600 and
$4,000 of his paper. The creditors are
mostly i'm the East.
Erick Hogland has made an assignment
to James n. Granger, who gave bonds in
the sum of 81, 400. This, however, is a
very trifling matter. The stock is small.
and is valued at onlya few hundred dollars.

THE RYAN HOTEL.
Explanation of "a ChatteI Mortgage
Given by the Projectors,

StNeh ny the RrOpr1etOrs.
The published report of a commercial
agency, regarding a chattel mortgage given
by MeSsrs. Brugh & Truman on the per-
sonal property owned by them, to Mr..
Dennis Ryan, owner of that building. was
the cause of considerable speculation YES
terday. To reporter of the GLOBE Mr..
Brugh said yesterday that such mortgage
had been given in accordance with the
terms of their lease. 1t was not because
they were indebted to Mr.. Ryan. as they
did not owe him a cent, but It had been
neglected until Tuesday by both themselves
and Mr.. Ryan. AT the time the firm leased
the hotel from Mr.. Ryan it was agreed by
both parties that MesSrs. Brugh 81 Tu-
man should execute chattel mortgage on
their personal property in and about the no.
tel, and give to Mr.. Ryan as security for the
lease. 1t was neglected. however, by both
Mr.. Ryan and the finn, and was not at
tended to until Messrs. Brugh d Truman
handed Mr.. Ryan the mortgage. in order TO
carry out their part of the stipulated agree
ment and make their lease valid. The
hotel is in a highly prosperous condi-
ton, and is paying far in excess of all
anticipations of business for this season,
In the matter of rent and other expense.
Mr.. Ryan had always been promptly paid
and held no claims against the firm.
Mr.. Ryan was also seen IN regard to the
matter and explained it in substantially the
same manner as Mr.. Brugh. 1t was a con-
dition of the lease, and was executed in ac-
cordance with the terms agreed upon, and
not because there was anything due him.
He desired TO correct any impression that
might have been formed in regard to the
matter, and stated that Messrs. Brugh d
Truman did not owe him anything, and that
there had been no lapse in the regular pay
ment of rental upon the hotel, which was
doing large and successful business. In
expressing himself Mr.. Ryan stated that it
was simply procrastination in attending
to details.

The Sensation which Miss Ina Nor

CLEVELAND, o.. Jan. There is great
excitement among the residents of Brown
ell street, thoroughfare that crosses
Euclid avenue and penetrates the best resi-
dence part of the city. Last night Miss Ina
Norton, pretty blonde, residing at No. 90
Brownell street, went to 1872, Prospect
street, to participate i'm a social game of
cards at party gathered at the house of
Miss English. Throughout the evening
she seemed extremely nervous, and at 10
O'Clock requested some one to take her hand
at whist for her. Rising from the table.
she went into the hall and was seen no
more, Her parents, who were present at
the time, were very anxious about the girls
disappearance and reported the matter to
police headquarters. This morning it was
learned that marriage license had been
issued to Gus Barber and Nettie l. Norton.
Calling at the house on Brownell street, a
reporter was met at the door by cOlored
domestic, who Immediately asked: Are
you reporter" Answering in the affirm

see no one. Inquiry of the cOlored persons

NOTHING To BE STATED.
The reporter then called at the home of
Miss English. A number of friends of the
Norton family were present, and the fol-
lowing facts were aseertained: The Nor
ton family moved from Seville, o., to
Cleveland three years ago and opened a
boarding house near the WooIendon hotel.
Two colOred domestics were employed. one
Of whom is at present with the family. and
these girls had two lovers, Bragg and Bar

Barber is a colored Adonis, and it transpires
that his affections were rapidly transferred
from the servant 10 her white mistress. and
Miss Ina did not seem to be averse to the
same. Clandestine meetings were frequent,
the cOlored girl acting as go-between, and
on Wednesday afternoon BARRIERS colored
chum, Bragg, procured marriage license
for him, and Mr.. Augustus Barber was
united in marriage to Miss Ina Norton at
the residence Of Rev. Gassoway, pastor of
the African NJ. +. church on Erie street
The lovers then separated. Miss Ina went
TO the card party, and leaving her hand
with friend, she went outside and met

they took the train to the East.
