W.. r.. Lieb, Tea Merchant, Forced by
Fire Losses to Make an Assignment.
William R. Lieb, proprietor Of the Mon
itor Tea House, No. 1888 Varick street, has
made an assignment for the benefit of his
creditors. The information has been re-
ceived by many of his business friends in
this city with much regret. Mr.. c. B. Van
Dyke has been named as the assignee. He
said today that Mr.. Lieb's liabilities are
SO, 500, the assets $500.
Alittle more than a year z Mr.. Lieb
was doing a splendid wholesale and retail
business in staple and fancy groceries at
No. 178 Newark avenue, and his sign, a
big picture of the Monitor, " painted red,
was a familiar sight to Jersey City people.
About that time a flour mill belonging
to Mr.. Lieb, located somewhere in New
York State, was burned to the ground,
involving a lead loss of S10,0 200. The in
surance policies had run out just three
days before the fire occurred and through
some oversight had not been renewed.
In order to economic Mr.. Lieb removed
his stock to the more unpretentious build.
ing on Varick street, and has since been
going steadily behind. The assignment
was made last week. Although fifty
years of age Mr.. Lieb Immediately pulled
off his coat, as it were, and went to work
putting up machinery for E. G. Van
Zandt, of Second street, for a weekly
salary.
