IN HANDS OF A RECEIVER.
The Lorillard Brick Works Fail for Fully a
Million Dollars.

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-The Lorillard
Brick Works Company, of this city and
Keyport, N. j., has been placed in the
hands of receiver, Charles Seidler. The
company has, it is said, been carrying a
large amount of real estate and builders,
paper, the latter estimated at over 5000, 900,
and were short OF ready cash.
The brick works at Keyport were said to
be the most complete of the kind in the
United States. They were started by Jacob
Lorillard about four years ago, who spent
large amount of money in improving and
extending them. In October, 1888, the
present company was incorporated under
New Jersey laws with capital stock
of $500, 900 and bonds of 1886. 900, all
of winch were issued by Jacob Lorillard for
the Keyport property, which he turned over
to the company at valuation of 1886, 900,
the property representing total cost Of
S75O, 900.
Jacob Lorillard was President of the COM
pany and R. G. Guyer, Secretary and Treas
urer. The liabilities OF the company are
not generally known but are reported to
amount to upwards of s., 900, 900, which in
cludes mortgages on the property for $685.
600. Assignee Seidler says the assets
amount to 81, 500, 900, which is enough to
pay every debt, and leaves large surplus
for Mr.. Lorillard. The business will be con-
tinued by the assignee.

MORE WAGES WANTED.

Engineers and Firemen on the st. Paul
Prefer Their Demands.
MILWAUKEE, Dec. ia demand for an
increase of wages has been made by all the
locomotive engineers and 6remen employed
on the St. Paul road, and the demand
is accompanied by an intimation OF
a strike in the event of the companY's
refusal to grant the desired increase. The
d emand was made upon General Manager
Earling at Chicago, and very little
could be learned at the Milwaukee
offices of the road, as General Su-
perintendent Collins is out of the
city. No answer has been made to the men,
but it is thought that in the present unset
tied condition of railways, their chances of
getting an advance in pay are not very
good.
1t is claimed by the company that the
engineers and fremen are already paid as
we'll as those in the employ of other rail-
roads. The engineers are paid at the rate
of 8 and 7-10 cents per mile and 100 miles
constitutes a days run, so that an
engineer earns on an average of So 70
a day. When an engineer has a

Maris g. Smith, of Philadelphia, Make an
Assignment
PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 15.-Maris &
Smith, bankers and brokers, of No. 20
South Third street, this city, made an as
signment this afternoon for the benefit of
their creditors to Samuel B. Huey. The
assignment followed the entering of judg-
ment against the firm on note for SIS, 900
in favor of John M. Maris father of Will
lam Maris, the senior member of the firm.
Assignee Huey saId tonight that the
liabilities will probably exceed $500, 900,
distributed among a number of creditors.
There are several large debts ranging
from $40, 900 to S51, 900. Nothing could be
learned as to assets of the firm. They
managed to meet all of their engagements at
the Stock Exchange up to the closing hour,
and the assignment was not an
nounced until after the closing hour.
The firm has been gradually reducing its
deals at the Exchange for some time past
and its liabilities there are small.
W. h. Smith, the Junior partner, said to-
day that he thought matters would be ar
ranged for the firm to continue. He stated
that the failure was due to the general
shrinkage in values.
