ITS LIABILITIES s2OOo,oOO. AND ITS ASSETS
g., 600 OOO-CAUsES OF THE TROUBLE--EX.
PECTING TO PAY DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR.
Chicago. Dec. GA dispatch from New.
Orleans says The cotton firm of v N \. Meyer
tS Co. has suspended with liabilities aggrgating
s., 900 0OO and assets of So, 100000. This Is
the third largest cotton house in the country
and had been supposed to be one of tho wealthest.
The firm will ask for an extension. and its men,
bers say they will pay dollar for dollar The
recent financial panic, the sowncss OF collec-
tons, and the decline in the price OF
cotton, all contributed TO the result. The house
is composed of Victor Meyer, vice president of the
Union National Bank, Adolf Meyer recently elected
to Congress from the Ist Louisiana District and
Cassus Meyer, capitalist The firm was interested
in twerf, five thirty cotton plantations, and also
owned halfdozen of the best sugar plantations
in The State.
The failure was not announced until after bus.
ness hours. 1t is feared the wreck of this great
commercial house may involve several other firms.
Solomon Meyer is resident partner and manager
of the New-iorl office of the firm V. N A Meyer
Il Co. are agen's and part propretors Of the rErs
and the Randleman Plalds and Stripes Manufacture
ing Company, of North Carolina.
The failure of the great cotton firm Of " and
A. Meyer & Co. is confirmed by H. II. Meyer, the
head of the branch house in this city, at No. II
William-st Mr.. Meyer could not give any
details yesterday as 10 the amount of the firms
liabilities or probable assets. He said, however,
that the failure was prabobly caused by the
same trouble that has brought down many large
houses recently.
The firm has had its money tied mp in various
ways" he said. "and when money was
needed, it was impossible to get at it.
7 and other members of the family are the prin-
cpal creditors. The firm is composed Of three
members Victor Meyer. Adolph Meyer and sol.
Meyer, my brother Politics had nothing 10 do
with the failure. This branch Of the firm has
had dealings recently with the Ncw-fOrk Cotton
and Coffee Exchanges, but the contracts now out
standing are small

originally started in New-iOrk about fifty years
ago as Meyer, Deutch N Co. This firm was dis

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
a Quiet But Pretty Wedding Yester
day Afternoon.

An interesting marriage took place
yesterday evening at o'clock at the
residence of Mr. J. r. Herndon, cor
ner of Tazewell and Henry streets.
The contracting parties were Mr..
Will ii. Horton, of this city, and Miss
Susie G. Roberts, of Medison Lodge,
Kan, Rev. j p. Campbell, Of Con-
cord, w. Va, officiating. The mar
rage was quiet affair, only few of
the most intimate friends of the bride
and groom being present. MIR. Hor-
ton is well and tavorably known in
the city, while his bride is one of the
most popular and accomplished young
ladies of the town.
The happy couple were the recip-
tents of many handsome presents
and congratulations from a host OF
friends and admirers. They left on
the ) p. III. train for the Montgomery
White, where they will spend week
or tea days, after which they will go
to the Rockbridge Album, returning
to this city about September LIST.
The TIMES extends its congratula.
tions, and wishes them long life OF
unalloyed happiness and prosperity.

THE R. AND S.
RUMOR OF PRIVATE SUBSCRIP.
TON OF $4,000.
IT LACKS CONFIRMATION.
What IL Number OF Prominent People
Say About Specializing Out Of the
Noad-Ii Ought 10 be Treated
Fairly.

1t was rumored yesterday that q
private subscription of $4,000 was he
ing raised in behalf of the Roanoke
and Southern railroad, to help it get
into the city, but the report could not
be traced to any reliable source.
The Roanoke and Southern, and the
manner in which it is alleged to have
been treated, was subject of con
siderable comment on the streets yes
terday, and tie general public eX-
pressed good deal of righteous in
dignation towards those who are dis
posed to unreasonably retard the ell
trance of the road into the city.
1t is reported that it will cost the
construction company 100000 to get
into the city, which is the amount of
her subscription, and unless a reduc-
ton in charges are made good many
people say that the road is just as
liable to go somewhere else as TO come
to Roanoke. Salem, it is said, has Of
fered 5000 900 and a depot site to come
there.
A TINES reporter questioned u
number of citizens yesterday III regard
to the matter, and found them all OPP
posed to the inordinate speculation
ont of the road.
Mr.. NJ. H. Clayton said: Il believe
that the people in this town who are
supposed to be friends OF the Roanoke
and Southern are the ones who are
responsible for the muddle.
Judge S. g. Williams: There are
so many ruInors that il is hard to form
an opinion. Some say it is the direc-
tors of the road who are doing the
real estate specializing and Others
saw not. Next to the Shenandoah
Valley road, which was the primeval
cause Of Roanokes existence, the
Roanoke and Southern road is the
most important.
Mr.. S. w. Jamison said that he was
very sorry indeed to see Il disposition
OH the part of property holders to ask
exorbitant prices for Il right OF way,
and that he was afraid the thing. If
kept up, would eliminate in robbing
the city of the road. The Construc-
ton Company is literally the Roanoke
and Southern, and it is merely busl-
ness transaction with them. They
expected to enter the city at Il cost OF
not over $4,000, but when they
learned. at their meeting here recently.
that it would cost $500 900 or 5000, 600,
they adjourned in disgust, and with
out accomplishing anything.
Senator Trout, president OF the
road, said that it was merely matter
of dollars and cents with the Construc-
ton Company, and that they were
not pecuniarialy interested in Roa-
nolle. Unless they could get in the
city at something like reasonable
rates, they would either stop outside
or tap the Norfolk and Western at
some other point.
