Thcre was a littlc advertisement in n morn
Ing ncwsrnpcr yesterday which attracted con.
Siderable attention. aud probably made the

This notice Informed the creditors OF the late
fgm of Eiold. Lindry. Wicchers x Co. that
II they communicated with Joseph |. Green Of

thing TO their advantages. But as far as could

Joseph !. Green yesterday wcro newspnpe re.
,ortcrs who wanted TO know what It was all
about. and they learned worry little to their ad-
Nantn;'.

cuIGing to tho names OH the door Of his Office,
h. is associated with Robert O'Byrne and Otto
1rying Wise. 10 those who asked him about
this advertisement. Mr. Grecn said that a
cicnt of his. verj truthful man. knew the
Whereabouts Of hall u million dollars worth Of
tCcuritics belonging to the nnkrurt firm OF
field. Linlley. Wipch0"s Co. These securi-
tias, Mr.. Grcnn said. were in the form Of
"uonds. stocks. and gold certificates" Mr.,

this man SAYS. lie Is only ellen, Of miue."
I". Green would not tell tho name OF his
C!icAt, nor would h. say whether he was an
employee OF the lato firm or n creditor. or
both. He'snd that Charles W. Could tho
assignee OF the firm. knew nothing about the

PROBABLE and exceedingly unsatisfactory.
