DAVID WEISBEIN FAILED
HIS LIABILITIES PUT AT $4,000
AND ASSETS $4,000.


New York Creditors the First on uhe
Ground-Attachuen Levied on the
Theory That Weisbein Has Ah-
seconded - His Whereabouts Un-
known, But He is Supposed to be in
New York.
David Weisben retail dry goods and
notions, No. 1853 Broughton street, was
closed up yesterday by his creditors The
fa,lure was good deal of surprise. Mr.
Weisbein left here on Christmas day He
said that he was going to New York to in
terest Northern capitalists in an insurance
con,panv which he proposed to organize and
set ON foot here. No one doubted that he
went on bona fde mission and there was
not breath of suspicion ahoat that he was
in anv financial embarrassment until the
arrival of agents of several New York
houses Sunday night.
Yesterday an examination of the records
in the Superior Court Clerks office was
berun. and disclosed the fact that Weisbem
had issued a full power of attorney to a
Mr. Joseph Lichtenstein, of New York.
Lichtenstein had sold to II. B. Clailin 4 Co.
and +. s. Jatfrey q Co. enough goois TO
satisfy claim of the former Tor $4,000
and one of the latter fol- $1,000 against
Weisbein.
When this became known perfect Hood
of attachments was turned upon the stock.
GalTard g. Meldrim represent the largest
number of creditors, and they have caused
10 be levied twelve attachments and one
distress warrant all returnable to the Feb
ruary term of the City Court. Deputy
Sheriff Jones Franklin is in possession OF
the premises The nearest estimate of the
liabilities is $4,000, and the only assets
known is the stock which is probably worth
$4,000 Among the attachments is one in
favor of Woisbeln's bTOther-iu-law, Eman-
osseAi Knapp, for $500, Quite number of
Savannah firms are among his creditors
The ground for the attachments is that
Weisbein has abSconded. Mr.. Wcisbein
has been doing business here for a number
of years, and his house was rated high by
the mercantile agencies. He burned out
last spring and lost heavily ON his stock,
which was only partially insured. He then
had, according to his statement, a S55, 900
stock of goods on hand. He received Sl7, 00J
insurance He had a special partter, J. f.
Bremen, in Paris, who had a $50, 600 interest
in the firm
Mr. Weisbein said that his partner would
be here Jan /. but be has not arrived vet.
Mr. Weisbeins whereabouts are unknown,
but he is supposed to be in New York. His
family is here.

This is the second time that O'Connell's
place has been robbed i'll the last year or
