Inc tnlru class creditors are not men,
toned, but include all those not men
toned above. The entire liabilities are
quoted at $4,000
There was some interest felt in bust
ness circles yesterday occas:oned by tho
announcement of tho failure, but it
seems that the assigning firm only will
feel the effects, and business in Roam
oke will not be injured.
The cause of the failure is attributed
to recent financial embarrassments oc.
casioned by speculation and CARRYING
heavy stocks.
The real estate assigned by tho firm
consists Of seven lots in the Melrose
Addition; house and lot on Campbell
street, and the building occupied by
Geisman on Salem avenue and Henry
street. Several other minor pieces of
property are mentioned, none of which
have been cleared from deed Of trust,
only about $4,000 being paid on the
total amount.
The stock in the New York Whole
sale and Notion House and the Boston
Boot and Shoe House, and the STORE in
Knoxville is thought to be sufficient to
satisfy all the preferred creditors.
The Roanoke creditors are all pro-
ferred. Tho First National Bank is
we'll secured and, in fact. all the crcdi-
tors in the city.
The deed of assignment was much
sought after yesterday after il had been
filed in the clerks Office. and not less
than dozen copies of the stated
amounts were taken.
The doors of the largo establishment
were closed yesterday, and placard on
the glass announced that it was for tho
purpose Of taking an inventory. Arthur
f1o
left last night for Knoxville to take
charge of the property there, all of
which will be shipped back to Roanoke
to be disposed of.
Penn IL Cooke are attorneys for q
number of the creditors of Roanoke 1t
is expected that a large number of the
creditors from distance will be here
to-day.
The firm is one of tho oldest in the
city. Grinberg and Morris both came
here from Alt BONA about nine years ago.
They were peddlers and sold goods
about the streets. In 1883 they opened
the Young American clothing house"
on Jefferson street. Gradually they
worked up large trade and securel
abundant credit. They moved into a
portion of the Gale building when COM
pleted, and also occupied the adjoining
building. They established branch
stores at Pocahontas, Knoxville, Tenn,
and Waterstown, Tenn, all OF which
have been sold except the Knoxville
house.
Griffin & GLASGOW are the attorneys
fer the trustee and assigning firm.

Big Excursion to Texas or Ohio This
Yenr.
From the Graham Headlight.
President Pugh, of tho Virginia Press
Association, Is perhaps one of the
busiest newspaper men just now in the
State. lie is planning grand excur-
sion for the Virginia editors after their
annual meeting, which will be held
about November to 10. Texas and Ohio
are the States presenting strongest
claims at present. We are decidedly in
favor of Ohio for the reasons that tho
opening of the Ohio extension of the
Norfolk and Western railroad in the
next year will be the dawn of new era
in the history of Virginia; and it is
time now that Virginia was being intro
duccd to her new neigh bors, and we
know OF no better way to begin the new
order of things than for the Virginia
editors to go first and tell their brethren
of the great Buckeye State of the NOV
ing popnlace, but it must DO from their
end of the line. We want them here
and will need every "mither's son
of en- y and every ''cint" they IAN raise
to help us develop the wild regions
along our new lines of roads.
The Commercial Association Meeting.
The second Of the series of meetings
arranged by President Pechin, of the
