FAILED FOR MILLIONS,
w. T. Coleman & Co., of San
Francisco, Assign.
Liabilities Estimated at $4,000
900; Assets, $4, 100000.

The assignment Of the old established com
mission house of William T. Coleman & Co.,
Of San Francisco and New York, has caused
a bio sensation. 1t is one of the oldest houses
on the Pacific coast and was considered be-
vond suspicion Of peril. At half-past four
o'clock Monday afternoon the firm made an
assignment for the benefit Of creditors to l..
L. Baker and Louis SlOSS
The firm consists of William I. Coleman,
who came to California in 1S49, and from
then to now has been prominent IN business
circles, and Frank Johnson, well known
Young merchant. Mr.. Coleman organized the
first vigilance committee in San Francisco and
in 1S77 when the Kearney riots occurred, he
ORGANIZED the Committee of Safety. He has
a lovely home in San Rafael which town he
has doomed enormously. He was considered
the most enterprising merchant on the coast,
had the biggest salmon canning trade. and
did everything to develop the fruit indus
tries.
Mr.. Coleman's partner, Frank Johnson, is
a brilliant young financIer, who grew up In
the Coleman firm and was taken into part
nership on account of his ability.
During the past five years the firm has
tried to control the trade in dried fruit, nuts
salmon and bOrax. Mr.. Coleman retired
from the active management several years
AGO and the business has been run by
Frank johnson, who INDUCED in all sorts
of speculation. Last year johnson lost
heavily in salmon and fruit, his
losses in attempting to corner the salmon
market being placed at s., OOO, 900. The borax
speculation was a good one if the firm had
had larger capital, but everything put in was
dead money, and when they tried to realize
they failed. The finishing blow was given to
the firm by the Nevada Bank, which held a
call loan for a large amount.
The liabilities of the firm have been stated
as being S2,0OO,OO0 They include an in
debtedness to the Bank of California amount
ing to $3.50, 900, of which 100000 is secured.
1t is estimated that the firm owes the
Bank Of British Columbia 100000;
Nevada Bank, 1920, 900, and Bank of British
North America, 100000. 1t is stated that of
the whole amount of Coleman q Co. s in
debtedness one-half is in California and the
other half is in the East, the greater part of
the latter being held by New England banks.
The house has agencies in Astoria Oregon,
New York, Chicago and London. 1t also
acts as the agent for large number of manu-
featuring establishments and for the prin-
cipal salmon canneries of the Pacific coast.
The shipping department is agent for several
lines of clippers to and from Australia China
and other ports. The business of the firm is
said to amount to S14 900. 900 ger year.

ACOURT.OF IMPEACHMENT
inquiries into Charges Made in
Prosperity Assembly
AGAINST SECRETARY EMAN
orthc Ohio Valley Trades and Labor
Assembly, who is Accused orVio-
lnting His solemn obligations
as Knight of Labor.

An investigating committee or "high
court OF impeachment" appointed by
Prosperity Assembly, X. OF L., Of this
city, met at the hall OF the Ohio Valley
Trades and Labor Assembly, on Market
street, yesterday, TO hear evidence MS to
the truth OF charges preferred by
Thomas R. Clark, of Pittsburgh, Nation
al Organizer of the Iron Workers Ma
tional Assembly, X. of L. Mr.. Clark
and Mr.. Eman were both present, and
the case was gone into exhaustively.
From the nature of the procedure but
little was to be learned of it outside, but
it is predicted by knights that the mat
ter will result in very interesting con-
test before it is ended, and it is thought
it may take on national proportions in Il
certain contingency.
The charges grew out Of the difficulty
between the Amalgamated Association
OF Iron and Steel Workers and the
Knights OF Labor at the Riverside steel
plant, at Benwood, at the time the latter
organization supplanted the formerthere.
Mr.. Eman then printed in the Budget u
list OF the members OF the X. OF L. en-
ployed there us "blacksheep." Mr.. Clark
claims that the men so blacklisted were
Knights in good standing, and that no
competent authority had ever biackiisted
or condemned them. He charges Eman
with having violated his solemn obliga-
ton rs knight OF Labor in thus with
out authority and unjustly declaring
brother Knights to be "blackshcep,"
and that by his position and conduct
daring the Riverside controversy he
showed his untitness to longer hold
membership in the order.
An effort was made to see Mr.. Clark
last evening, but he could not be found.
A Knight said to n reporter:
"0n the face Of it Clark has right on
his side. There IS way provided to
blacklist knights who deserve it, but
Eman took the matter out OF the hands
Of the regularly constituted authorities
and blacklisted them himself. For this
he is subject to expulsion. have heard
that the charges include one of Islander.
II the lodge for any reason does not ex-
pei Eman the case will doubtless be APP
pealed to the National Executive Board,
and if you remember the part Eman took
in the assault on the Board and especially
on MIR. powderly Mt the last national
convention OF the order, you can judge
as well as l whether he can expect any
tortuous Interpretation in his favor OF
plain rule which he has violated beyond
dispute"
II is but Just to say OF Mr.. Eman that
he seems to be entirely confident OF the
outcome, and apparently meets the
charges cheerfully and even gladly.

SERIOUS CUTTING APFRAY.

James Baxter and Mack Wiggtnton knlted
ut cred Mary's."
Saturday old man Baxter, who lives
on the National road beyond Bridgeport,
drew about SO from the bank and came
over to this city ito have TINA" Fear
ing he would get drunk and be robbed,
his son, James, and his son.in-law, Mack
Wigginton, followed him to the city, and
by some inquiries ascertained that he
had gone to the house OF Mary Clark,
alias ''Red Nary" who lives in that ag'
gregation OF novels notorious as "Meri-
ben's row." The boys followed Baxter
there, and entering, attempted to get
him to leave. There were two women Of
hard repute in the room, besides cred
Marv'sh two sons, George and
Henry EngIe. Instead OF allowing the
old man to leave, they locked the door
and, according to the story OF the visi:
tors, George Engle proceeded to "Carve"
Baxter and Wigginton with large
knife. Baxter in attempting to protect
his body, was seriously cut on the arm
in three places. Wigginton was also
painfully cut. At length the two young
men broke the door open and escaped
with the old man. They made their
way to the Island, where n buggy was
procured and they were taken to Dents
drug store, ut Bridgeport, where DR..
Wagner dressed their wounds.
Old man Baxter still had $50 OF his
money.
The cutting created much excitement
in the Alley Q and Tenth street neigh.

yellingl"poliCe" and murder" till the
impression got out that the reaidents
were all being killed, Officer Watson
arrived soon and arrested George Engle,
George said Henry inflicted the injuries
with a chair. When the officer went
back to capture Henry, he had disap-
peared.
Last evening Engle was committed to
jail by Squire Davis for a hearing
to-day.
The house and its inmates are gwen
a bad name by the police. George
Rngle cut man badly before, and also
has record OF having nearly killed Pen
Mason, well known colored man, with
u stone. The locality in which the
iracas occurred is disgrace to the city,
and is continually furnishing criminal
cases of greater or less magnitude for
the courts. 1t should be cleaned out.

ANOTHER FOR HARRISON.
An Intelligent and Patriotic
Wheeling Democrat
STAND FREE TRADE
And so Joins the Rush from the
FaiIing Cleveland Forces to the
Growing Ranks of the Pro-
tectionists-More Yet.

The list of those who are coming out
from the Democratic party because OF
the out-and-out Free Trade stand it has
taken, and arraying themselves under
the true blue banner of Harrison, Nor
ton and Protection, is growing larger
day after day here as well as in nearly
every other section OF the country where
men are allowed to express their
opinions.
The latest accession from the Demo.
cratic ranks in Wheeling is Mr.. Q. F.
Yost, who for the past two years has
represented the New York Life Insur-
ance Company in this city. He has
always been an ardent worker in the
Democratic ranks since he was old
enough to vote, and he comes from {
family which has presented an unbro
ken front OF Democracy from away
buck. His father was Surgeon General
in the Confederate Army.
Mr.. Yost, is however, too much OF ar
American to continue longer with par
ty that appears to have no higher ain
than to surrender the industrial inter
ests OF this country to Great Britain ant
other foreign countries, that await {
Democratic victory to flood this lane
with their pauper products and reduct
the wOrkmen OF this country'to the mis-
cradle level Of English workers. While
Mr.. Yost regrets that he is forced Il
leave his party, yet he gladly avails him
self OF the opportunity to become Pro
tectionist, even though it enrolls hin
under the flag OF the party he has for
merly opposed. He is not ashamed o
this American move and is willing thai
it should be given publicity.
Mr.. Yost was formerly resident o
Marion county, and is graduate Of the
Morgantown University.
