THEY THINK 1T A SCHEME.
Some of Lowenthal's Creditors
Don't Like GoldbIum's Bid.


There WAS little squabble in court
over the matter of the insolvency of
Nathan Lowenthal. Freeman P. Lane
appeared for an order allowing the as
signee to sell the stock of goods, as an
offer of 971s cents on the dollar had
been offered Oh tile invoice of stock re-
turned. Some of the creditors seemed
to feel suspicious that such high offer
had been made, and they wanted the
stock gone over again before the sale
was allowed. They claim that the stock
is worth about double what the return
has been, and that Goldblum. the in
tending purchaser, wants to turn it over
to the aSsignOr.
Judge Hooker will allow another in
spection of the stock made, and will
hear the motion again next Wednesday.
Meantime it is understood that the sale
will go on just the same, and the con-
testing creditors may get what redress
they can out of that state Of affairs.

WAS 1T FORGERY?
An Expert Testifies in the Loomis
Note Case.


The case of Henry Loomis against
the estate of Anna Budd was on trial
again all day yesterday. The most in
teresting part of the testimony was that
part of the defense which went to show
the alteration of the note in question.
Prof. c. c. Curtiss was called as an ex-
pert, and an enlarged photograph of the
note was also introduced. The pro-
lessor testified positively that the in
strument had been altered, there being
two different shades of ink used, also a
different variety pen. The claim was
that the note had been raised from $50
to,S1 .020. The amount was written in
words, aid the "a thousand crowded
: III before the twenty" with no "and''
between the words. The case went to
the jury at O'Clock, and that body will
meet to consider the case on Monday
morning.
