*. g. s. ASSIGNMENT.

The Clothing and Millinery Store Trans-
ferred to q Notwithstanding To Collect
the Cause.
A deed of assignment was entered I'm
the clerks Office yesterday afternoon
from Kaplan & Schiller, transferring
their property consisting of the large
clothing store on Salem avenue known
as the K. & S. store, and the store
known as the K. & s. millinery store to
D. Grin6erg, trustee, for the benefit of
the creditors of the firm.
The liabilities will amount to about
$4,000 and the creditors are divided
into three classes as follows: First.
embracing the banks of the city and
all the home creditors; the second class
is composed OF Northern and Eastern
nrms and is for material and stock, and
the third class is composed OF all credi-
tors not mbraced in the other two
classes. 1t is thought that the liabili-
ties will be fully covered by the assets.
The assignment was forced to be made
at this time on account of the stringency
OF money and the inability of the firm
to collect outstanding debts.
Messrs. Kaplan and Schiller have
been doing business for twelve years in
partnership, and have always paid all
their Indebtedness in full. The bust
ness in both stores will be continued
after few days by the trustee, who
will continue in his employ all the en-
ployes of the firm, who are numerous.
The members of the firm were seen by
TIMES reporter last night in regard to
the assignment They stated that
they were forced to resign on account
of hard times and their inability to
collect. They hope to pay all their
creditors in full and resume business in

A CreditabIe Publication as Usual-what
It Shows.
The second volume Of Col. A. e.
Sholes city directory of Roanoke has
been issued from the press OF the Stone
Printing and Manufacturing Company
and has been received at THE TIMES
Office. The directory is ably compiled,
ana 10 gotten up by gentleman who
has sufficient experience in the com pi.
lation of works of this kind to insure
the volume to be valuable one. The
new directory is an Improvement on
the one Of '92 and '93 in its construction
and general make up, as we'll as in its
binding and printing, which is q credit
on the Stone Printing Com pany for the
neatness and accuracy of the work
done.
While comparing the population of
the city OF this year with last year it is
noticeable feature that the reduction
OF the population has been much greater
In the colored than in the white. The
census as given by Col. Sholes is, white,
,20s; colored, 5,4O2; total, 1850: as
against white, 16,47O; colored, e,75s;
total, 23.22s Of last year. The volume
contains 1858 names Of these 3Sl
represent firms, schools, churches, etc. i,
and Isl are residents of Vinton and
other points outside the corporation.
Subtracting these there is left total of
1901 names, OF which 5.0l4 are white,
1.4l7 are colored; as against TOSS white,
2,344 colored last year.
There were added to this volume
1,793 names and 1876 names were
omitted which were in the volume of
last year.
One OF the remarkable features are
the removals which during the past
year have been something enormous,
tho changes OF residence among the
householders alone amounting to 2,O45
or over 60 per cent. The publication
shows that there are now 1854 dwell
ings in the city, occupied by 3,2ll
families with 533 vacant houses. One
of the encouraging facts is that AS
new buildings have been erected in the
City during the past year or are now
in the progress of construction.
The directory shows that while Roam.
oke in her growth and prosperity did
not fulfill the promises Of year ago,
she passed through the terrible depres-
sion of the last year with her business
houses intact, her banks firmly solvent
and her manufacturing industries still
employing hundreds of men. The
directory is valuable work and one
that few business houses can afford to
be without.

how Nellie had once been princess of
