CRASH AT LOUISVILLE.
The Private Bank of Schwartz & Co.
Closes Its Doors

LOUISVILLE, KY, March l9.-Theo.
schwartz q Co., private bankers, failed
to-day for 100000. Their assignment
carries to the wall the Union Tobacco
WORKS. Schwartz was the resident
GERMAN consul, and operated savings
oahk IN connection with his other
banking business. Fred Jannsen. mem
DER OF the firm, has mysteriouslv disap-
peared. Fears are entertained that he
mas committed suicide. No dishonesty
Is, however, traceable to him.
Just who the largest creditors are can
not be determined at this time. In the
absence OF positive information from the
urn, or from the assignee or the attor-
ney, any information will be guesswork.
But it is understood, at least that some
other Louisville financial institutions
are caught pretty heavy, and that
possibly other failures may be pre-
clpltated. However, from the nature
OF the business done, the losses here
cannot be 80 heavy as if the banking
business done was of the regular order.
ana some foreign correspondents may
80 iiuCA as We local INSTITUTIONS, IL
at all, IN proportion to the amount the
de1unct firm pays on the dollar if not in
full.
Although it has not been stated to be
the fact, it is generally supposed that
the financial crash is due to the late
financial stringency, which, it is evil
dent, Is not yet altogether passed. This
Is inferred from remark of Mr.. Coch-
ran, of the Louisville Trust Company,
assignee, to the effect that the firm, as
he understood, had been hoping to pay
out and tide over their affairs until yes
terday or the day before.

Bad Break in the Cofferdam at the New
500 Canal.
SAULT STE MARIE, March 19.-At 2 P.
NJ. yesterday heavy leak broke out In
the west end of the cofferdam, sur
rounding the excavations for the new
lock site. The break, which was
insignificant at the start, has grown
to a torrent, and the entire
works are submerged. The stationary
engine houses, derricks, tramways,
tools, etc, belonging to the contractors,
Messrs. Collins & Farwell, are covered
with water and work has been dlscon-
tinued. The canal officials are employ
ing all available means of replacing
the washed out clay in the dam.
Broken stone is being thrown into the
gap to hold the cribbing, and large
number of teams are hauling clay. straw
and hay and the movable dam Is being
placed in position. This will materially
reduce the volume of water through the
canals. The strain cannot be lessened
through the lock chamber rs the dis
charge valves are not in place. Col:
Poe, of Detroit, is expected on special
train. An overflow of the canal bank
below the new lock is expected this
afternoon.
The entire portion of the new lock ex-
cavation was flooded at 40 P. NJ. The
water is at present overflowing the east
ern impeachment to the canal and
emptying into the river below the
locks. The rupture in the dam
continues to increase, ard every effort ID
being made to stop the current of wa
ter through the main canal by the NOV,
able dam. Heavy ice in the canal
binders the work. A great number, OF
teams are now at work hauling clay

BIG BOOT AND SHOE FAILURE.
The Simpkinsons, of Cincinnati, Forced
to Suspend-Liabilities $500, 600.

The Simpkinsons, of Cincinnati, Forced
to Suspend-Liabilities $500, 900.
CINCINNATf, o., March 1S.-The whole
sale boot and shoe firm of j. & A. 81 mp
kinson q Co., made an assignment this
morning to ex-Judge Gmbel. The liza
bilities are $500, 900; assets $500 900
There is profound sympathy in all
business circles in the city to-day ut the
announcement of the failure. The
Simkinsons have grown old in an
honorable and hitherto successful bust
ness career in Cincinnati, and both
bAEN always been valuable and honored
members of the community. John
SimpkinsOn has been active in many
public enterprises, benevolent and
otherwise, and as he was about
to retire on account of age,
this disaster is deplorable. There
has been no sudden loss, but only a
gradual reduction in the volume of bust
ness, and as the firm had recently in
Street establishment the burden
became too heavy to be borne.
The firm is composed Of
Iohn Simpkinson, his brother Alfred
Simpkinson, and nephew, IL. IL.
SimpkinsOn, who is also an adopted son
of John Simpkinson.
Yesterday deeds and mortgages by
the members of the firm to the amount
of $3.50 600 were fled in favor of Davis
Shoe Company, John Kelly, guardian,
Elizabeth Robson, Mary II. B. Wolcott,
guardian, and others.
The liabilities are estimated at $780,
600; the assets at 100000. The assignee
is Herman p Gnbel. 1t is said the as
signment leaves the men absolutely
penniless, their elegant residences being
turned over to their creditors.
