ALouisviIIe I,anker Fails.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Aug. 25.-A sensa-
ton was created here Saturday night
by the announ cement of the failure of
the private banking house OF Clifton
Rhodes Barrett. An assignment was
made to the Louisville Fidelity Trust
Company. The liabilities are about
$50, OO0 and it is claimed that the as
sets are about the same. The failure is
probably due to Bsrrett's bad luck in
recent speculations in Wall street and
at the card table.
