Caused a Sensation.

Nashville, Tenn, was surprised the
other day by the announcement that
the Connell- Hall l-McLester Co., whole
sale and retail dealers in dry goods,
boots and shoes and millinery, had
made an assignment. The assignment,
which names the Nashville Trust Co.
as assignees, shows that the liabilities
of the company are S464, ,346.39, while
the assets are S71S, 1892. The Connell-
Hall-McLester Co., which was organ
lied January 1, 1890, has done an exten-
sive business, and paid-up capital at the
date of organization was $3.50, 600.
The authorized capital is double that
amount. The business done last year
amounted to nearly ST, 900. It was
expected the capital stock would be in
creased this year-to. $500, 900, but the
tightness of the money market in Nash
vile last year prevented this being ac-
complished- The company could not
get their paper discouD ted in Boston by
reason of the failure of many shoe
houses throughout the country. Had
they succeeded in having their paper
discounted they could have tided over
their present embarrassment Being
obliged to depend on collections to meet
obligations maturing daily, the COM

hope to secure an extension on the debts
and to continue business. The directors
believe that all the creditors will be
paid in full, and that the stockholders
will lose but little IL anything. The
