THE ATKINSON co.
Mr.. Atkinson Has Returned From Boston
--latest Developments in Regard to the
Failure-No Statement of Liabilities
Possible Yet,

There were no Developments of ifnpor-
lance in the Atkinson failure yesterday
Mr.. Isaac G. Atkinson arrived from Bos-
ton on the noon train yesterday, and was
at the office of the company arranging
his private desk yesterday afternoon
when the PRESS reporter called. II am
out of business said he, ''and am going
to take much needed rest" Mr.. Atkin-
son looked tolerably fresh, however, and
pink in his buttonhole aided in main
tanning the air of briskness that has
always characterized Mr.. Atkinson.
A Boston paper yesterday stated that
the assets might foot up to two and a
half million dollars. In regard to this
report Hon. Chas. F. Libby, the assignee,
said yesterday that there was no founda-
ton for such statement. Trial balances
have been ordered from all the branches,
but 1t will be some time before these eau
be received and summarized. Until that
can be done, the amount of the liabilities
cannot be known. Mr.. Atkinson adhered
to his estimate that they would not be
over million and half.
Speaking of the Plush Mill, Mr.. Atkin-
son said that his failure would in no way
affect it. He was large stakeholder;
but had been obliged to part with his
holdings. He also had 80 acres of land
at South Portland, divided into 429 build
ing lots. Mr.. Atkinson had extensive
plans for the development of this proper
ty. But he has been obliged to put this
all up in order to raise money. He says,
however, that it has gone into the pos
session of man who viii be better able
than he to develop it,
The Giant Electric Motor Company
was largely owned by Mr.. Atkinson, and
yesterday an attachment was put on it
by the Atkinson House Furnishing Co.,
as protective measure.
Mr.. Atkinson said few realized how
great blow it would be to Portland if
the company should not go on. A num-
Der of small industries sold their product
to the Atkinson Company, and were in a
large degree dependent upon it.
Mr.. Atkinson thought that directly
and indirectly from 800 to 500 men would
be affected.

work ON the Ferry slip.

league & Bennett commenced drawing
the piles at the ferry slip yesterday
morning. The proposition made to Mr..
Lewis Mcdonald will not be accepted.
The southerly side of the pier is held by
the Casco Bay Steamboat Company, by
virtue of lease, which expires in June,
1894. This pier must be reduced six
feet to gain the width intended for the
slip. Mr.. c. w. T. Cooling made prop
osition to the Peoples Ferry Company,
which has not been accepted. 1t is
claimed that the legislature will be asked
to empower the county commissioners to
assess the damages in the case of the
Casco Bay Steamboat Company and of
Mr.. Lewis Mcdonald, as Especial act is
necessary in these cases, the pier and
building being below low water mark.

THE SITUATION.
The Democrats Are Collecting Themselves;
and It Is Believed That Ingraham VIII
Y3,-

Run Again.
For about two days the Democracy of
this town were utterly abashed at the
way the frauds on the suffrage had been
detected and made public. But this alb
normal party condition did not last long.
Yesterday the Argus forgot its good re-
solutions that all offenders should be
punished, and began to shout the you
too argument. Alderman Guptilfs per-
Torrance indicates that great party pres
sure is being made to bring the party up
to fighting trim for the second election
April 18th. While Alderman Guptill
was applauded for going back on every
thing he has said or protested, Charles
Dunn, Jr., who has had the backbone to
stand by his convictions, is being con-
demned as false to his party. A promin-
emit Ward Democrat was heard to re-
mark yesterday that Dunn needn't look
for anything in that ward in future.
There seemed to be feeling yesterday
that the same pressure which has in
duced GuptiIl to stnltify himself, would
also bring Iagraham back into the race.
And with Ingraham leading once more,
and Marshal SWEET to set on the hood
lums and supervise the wardens while
they count, quite fight could be made.
There seemed to be indications yester-
day that the Democrats would make no
formal nomination; but with Ingrahams
name would make a still hunt, thus
hoping to catch the Republicans I'M
awares. Chairman Farnsworth had a
letter in the Argus yesterday, which an
nounced plainly that the Democrats did
not intend to let the election go by de-
fault

They Are Still in Business.

Some people seem to think that the
Atkinson House Furnishing Company
has gone out out of business. That is a
serious mistake. Under the assignees
the business is still progressing and good
bargains in all lines of goods can still be
had at the store on Middle street.

NNE word more
~ about Curtains
and Draperies.
It is quite time to decide
about the new things for
the rooms which are to
be furnished this spring
and it's much better to
be a little too early than
too late in matters Of this
kind, because the St OK is
fuller, larger and more
complete at the first of
the season than later, be
sides you are more likely
to get your orders filled
promptly if you are
among the early corners.
The Drapery novelties
this season are more ar
tistic, more decorative and
more beautiful than ever,
besides they're cheaper.
HousehoIders and others,
on whom devolves the Sc
lection and purchase OF
new furnishings, should
try to come here and see
our line while it is at its
best. If that is impossi-
bic, send for samples and
prices. It isn't quite as
well as being here but It's
the next best and we
give prompt personal at
tention to all inquiries by.

all kinds hard and soft coal on hand
and are prepared to fill orders for same.
They have the best and their prices
are low. You won't have to wear furs
where their coal is burned. The silver
clouds do not darken the black diamonds
when the golden opportunity is offered
to lay in your supply Of winter coal be-
fore the prices advance, which they
will in all probability do as soon as

SUNDAY AT THE Y. M. G. A
A Good Crowd and Fine Service.

Mr.. Samuel Watkins made an ex-
cellent talk at the young mems meet
ing Sunday. His theme was, "The
unsaved men in Henderson, and why
they are not reached "We have
good and faithful ministers in Hender-
son." said the speaker, and "God in
vites, and the gospel is as powerful
as ever to save. Why then are they
not saved?'' "For two years." con-
tinued Mr.. Watkins, there have been
comparatively few men seeking saliva
ton in Henderson, The speaker
thought one of the chiefreasons why men
are not seeking religion is the fact that
Christians are inconsistent. Our lives
and of course our lips are not speaking
for Christ. Here is the difficulty.
"Oh, brethren'' said the speaker in
tenderness, ''these things ought not
so to be- He spoke feelingly of the
last great day when we shall stand
before the Judge, side by side with
those with whom we have lived, and
traded, and visited here in Henderson,
and he sought his hearers to be true to
God and to the souls about them. DR..
F. S. Harris thought that Mr.. Watkins
had found the reason why more men
are not converted to the religion Of
Christ. We should so conduct our
selves in every day business and social,
and domestic life, that every one should
be compelled to acknowledge we are
Christians. We are to be a peculiar
people. The secretary agreed with
the speakers, and added that Joy was
a strong recommendation Of the relig
ious life. He had just seen a picture
of the angel bringing the tidings of the
birth of Christ to the shepherds. Under
meath were the words IS Behold I bring
you glad tidings of great Joy which
shall be to all people, He looked at
the picture for some moments and
found sermon especially in the words,
"glad tidings Of great joy" He Won
dered whether Christians realized the
fact that our religion is a religion of
joy. 1t gives that which so perfectly
satisfies the innermost cravings and
desires of the soul, that the finder
thereof gladly sells all in order to
possess himself Of it's comforts and de-
lights. This is the thought of our
Saviour in the words: 1.-THE kingdom
of heaven is like unto treasure hid in
field; the which when man hath
found, he hideth, and for Joy thereof
goeth and selleth all that he hath,
and buyeth that field.'' This is the
greatest advertisement God has of the
superiority of Christ over the world
and its pleasures. When we stoop to
earthly joys we SANDER the religion of
Christ. Christ can and does satisfy
nay he does more-he fills the soul SO
full of heavenly joy that the sugges-
tons to sin by the tempter CRATE on
the grace refined sensibilities, like saw
filing on the nerves. The music Of
our heavenly Orphesus is sweeter far
than all the delusive and enticing
siren songs of earth. In the latter
there is death to all our nobler parts;
in following the will Of God there is
peace and exceeding greatjoy. ooh!
said the speaker ''get full of joy so
that you may commend the religion
of Christ to the sinner. Show him
something better, and he will make
the trade

Court House Notes,

The criminal docket was cleared up
last week and some important civil
suits have been disposed of. The most
important of these perhaps was the
case of Allen VS.. Allen, involving a
debt Of about $4,000, including the
home place of the late D. S. Allen, the
suit being brought by his brother L. B..
Allen, Of Franklin county, against the
widow and heirs at law. The plaintiff
was represented by E. w. Timberlake
and F. S. Spruili Of Louisburg, and
Edwards & Workman, and Pittman &
Shaw. of Henderson. The defendant by
Capt. c. NJ. Cooke, Of Louisburg, T. T.
Hicks and A. C. Zollicoffer, Of Hen
derson. Able speeches were made on
both sides, the case being strongly
contested by the fine array of legal
talent represented. A verdict was
rendered in favor of the defendant.
The now famous Young will case is
now being tried. This is the matter
in which w. G. Harris brings suit
against J. r. Young, propounder, &C. :,
to nullify the will of the late Mrs.
Pattie H. Young. A number of
witnesses have been examined but
nothing like all the testimony is yet in,
and the case is likely to occupy the rest
of the week.
