OFFERED HALF.
The S. Hill Company
Wants to Compromise.
Liabilities Are Fixed at Ten Thousand
DollarS-All but Two Credit
ors Willing.

The financial strlneency has caused the
3. Hill Company, trading as sewing ma
chine and supply agents at 90 New Mont
gomery street. to seek 20 compromise with
its creditors. The total liabilities are
approximately fixed at $4,000, and the
amount not being very large no especial
interest would attach TO the matter were
it not for the name under which the CON-
pany has carried on business.
About ten or fifteen years ago the name of
Samuel Hill was we'll Kno wn and respected
in mercantile circles in the city. His
name was synonymous with honesty and
integrity. AT his death his nep hew, A. Nj.
Hill. organic the company that is now
In financial difficulty, but launched into
business under somewhat unfavora Bile
auspices. 1t took over a year to probate
and administer the estate of his uncle. and
by the end of that time those friends who
had promised to invest in the cOmpany's
stock had lost all interest and failed to
financially ala the new venture. As
almost natural consequence the ). Hill
Company, though nominally having a
capital OF 100000. never received a rating
in the mercantile agencies, though it man
aged to pay lis way and do fair business.
In 1891 an attachment suit was begun
by tyDewriting firm for S153S, but no

manager of the company, ascrbes the
present position of the company-frst. to
the present stringency in the money mar
ket and the consequent stagnation in trad de-
and secondly, to the contraction in the
value of the stock carried. A considerable
amount OF the stock consists of sewing
machine parts which have become obso-
leie in some instances. the machines hav-
Ing themselves gone out of use.
The principal local creditors are the

ALAMEDA.

The Alameda Fire Department had a
lively time yesterday afternoon, there be-
ing two alarms turned in. One was for a
grass fire. caused by some mischievous
boys, who were playing with matches.
The result was that fence burned down.
and the flames were rapidly making head
way toward house, when a stream was
played upon them and they were extin-
gushed.
An hour later another alarm was turned
in for fire in the house at 1888 Regent
street, owned by Mrs. Howe. The quick
action of the chemicals from the chemical
engine extinguished it, and only few
chairs and table were charred. The fire
originated in a flour bin in the kitchen.
There was no one home, and the opinion
prevails that the fire was the work of an
lncendiary. Some time ago an attempt
was made to burn the cottage next to Mrs
Howe's, and but for the good work of the
Fire Department block Of handsome cot
tages would have gone up in flames. The
recent OBrien cottage confagration is also
laid TO an incendiary. and is located not far
from Regent street.
