Another Big Failure,

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, June S.
q. X. LoVeman, one Of the leading
dry goods merchants in the south,
has failed. He named as assignees,
Hon. H. Clay Evans, of Chatta-
noOga, late first assistant postmas-
ter general, and l.. Black, of Cleve-
land. A deed of trust conveys his
entire estate, real and personal, in
Guiding a number of tracts of land
in the city and suburbs. The pre-
ferred creditors and amounts due
them make up list of thirty in
dividuals, firms and corporations,
and an aggregate Indebtedness of
1871, 1SS. In the list is the Central
National bank of New York, for
the sum of $4,000. In addition to
preferred creditors are general
creditors, chiefly in New York City.
The list has not yet been made
public, but the amount will GER
tainly be a heavy one.
Assets which embrace everything
that Mr.. LOveman possesses, in
Guiding his home and his house
hold furniture,whic are embraced
in the trust deed, will aggregate
over $350,000. All the local banks
and local creditors are amply pro-
tected. The failure is due to a cur
tailment of credit, caused by a
stringency in financial circles,
failing business, and poor collec-
tions; also to heavy losses sus-
tanned in a fire eighteen months
ago.

IN THE COURTS.
Several Sentenced and Some are
Acquitted-A Bridge Law.


One of the most interesting cases
called in Judge Noonan's court
yesterday afternoon, was that
against w. o. Douglas, accused of
conspiracy against trade. This is
one Of the famous alleged bridge
conspiracy cases in which the
grand jury charges that number
of bidders for various bridges in
the city comprised to have the city
| pay more than the bridges We're
worth by pooling their issues. The
case of Douglas was dismissed as
doubtless will be all of the others.
Jack Doss, negro, was con-
victed of attempting to murder
Fritz Wesp and given five years in
the penitentiary.
Robert Reddich, who tried to
kill his stepmother, Hettie,
pleaded guilty and got two
years, as also did A. Hargrove,
who tried to kill his son,
Ben, because the latter objected to
Hargrove's bringing a lewd woman
to the home of the Hargroves and
living with her there.
The jury acquitted Mrs. Caroline
Heider, who was tried on charge
of arson, it having been alleged
that she set fire to TESTS ware
house and stable.
MatirianO Perez and SalOme Her.
nandez each pleaded guilty of
shooting and attempting to murder
|. Ortega and got two years apiece.
In Judge Kings court yesterday
evening in the case of Shepard &
Delatield against the San Antonio
Street Railway company and VIM.

way company and continued as to
Weiss. All parties to the suit eX-
cepted to the Judgment of the court
and gave notice of appeal.
Louis Barche is on trial now, in
Judge NoOnan's court on charge

age suit against the International
Railway company for killing a
valuable race horse while the ami

In this court the case of Sally
Royal against the city of
San Antonio, is set for trial.
Sally obtained Judgment in
Judge Noonan's court for $500 dam
ages for injuring and destroying
her stand and property in the mar
ket. The city appealed and the
Supreme court gave Sally a con-
firmation of her judgment. Ever
since she has been trying to make
the city pay up but without sue
cess, and the present case is brought
to compel the payment.

Sseesol 7elsOrGns TO the Register
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 16.-There
was only one West Virginia postmaster
appointed to-day and that was OF the
Presidential class. George w. Warren
was appointed postmaster at Hinton,
Summers county, In Congressman Al
derson's district, to succeed r. Z. Elan
agan, an offensive Republican partisan,
removed.
There has been, in the last week, a
noticeable falling of in the number OF
West Virginia postmasters appointed,
but this will not last much longer. In
the next few days there will be changes
changes in some Of the most i'm
portant fourth class post Offices in
the First Congressional district. A
number of the postmasters at these
offices have already been In for more
than four years, and according to Post
master General Bissell's latest ruling,
the appointment Of their sue
cessors is now In order. Con-
UIeSsldQ IcuQicbOu uuo kOb libsiO
list Of all postmasters who are eligible
for retirement, and will submit it to
Fourth Assistant Maxwell. The latter
will act on these cases with the greatest
possible speed, as it has never been his
fault at any stage Of the game that the
Republican incumbents have been al
lowed to hang on. There will also be
some changes shortly amcng the Presi-
Dental postmastersa n the First district,
some OF whom seem to be very open 10
the charge Of offensive partisanship, &C
cording to advices received here from
the patrons of their Offices.
M. j. O'Kane, OF Wheeling, Is here.
Something may be expected to drop in
the Wheeling postofice situation In the
next few days. Offensive partisanship
will play an important part, and Post
master Cowden's scalp, which should
have been taken long ago. may be eI-
pected to adorn O'Kane's belt any day.

Secretary Hastings OF the Hawaiin Legs-
ton Arrives in Washington.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 16.-Mr.
Hastings, Secretary Of the Hawaiin
Legation has arrived in Washington
direct from San Francisco, having left
Honolulu June 1st. He had a long con-
ference with Minister Thurston to-day.
Mr.. Hastings will soon be in charge OF

"Another steamer from Japan" said
Mr.. Hastings, this morning, was ex-
pected 10 touch at Honolulu on the
10th, and will soon be in San Francisco,
bearing the most recent news. SO far
as the annexation sentiment Is concern
ed, | can only say that it is growing
daily. There has never been any in
tention on the part OF Mr.. Blount,
either as Commissioner or Minister, TO
restore the royalists to power. We be-
lieve that when Mr.. Blount submits his
report, it will be found TO coincide with
the views of those who have the welfare
of the Islands at heart. Tho pro-
visional government has the confidence
OF the people"
Whether or not Mr.. Blount has re-
signed his new position as Minister In
stead OF Commissioner TO HAWAII, can
not be definitely determined here. The
probabilities seem strongly to favor the
assumption that he has not resigned,
though 1t is thought quite likely be may
have expressed the wish to be relieved
at an early day Of position which ne

10 be somewhat irksome TO him. The

signed. In view OF these facts, the
published statements that the place has
been offered to Consul General Critten'

TIE TIN PLArE FRAUD.

The Boston Herald calls attention to
an argument advanced by prominent
Republican organ 10 show that a con-
siderable portion Of the tin plates which
used to come from abroad are now fur
nished by American tin plate mills, un-
der the stimulus Of the enormous In
crease Of duty made by the Mckinley
act:
In 1889 we imported SS6,692 tons Of tin
plate from England; in 1890, 5lS,lOS tonsi
IN 1891, S25,l las tons. In this last named
year the new Mckinley duties went into
operation, and American tin plate mllls
spranE up In 1872 our imports OF brltlsn
plates fell 70 27o 4T9 tons, or some 5000
tons less than for the year preceding. And
vet the country is issuing about as much TIN
Mate as ever. The only possible conclu-
sion is that American works are now sup
plying q considerable portion OF the plate
which used TO come from forei gn factories
This is plainly mere Juggling with
figures "The deception" the Herald
points out, Giles in measuring the i'm
ports by calendar years. The increased
duty imposed by the Mckinley bill
went into effect on July /, 1891, in the
middle Of the calendar year 1891, and
at the beginning of the American fiscal
year 1882. The Mckinley SGT, 1t will

TIE FORD THEATRE INQUEST.

People who Now See That tho Work was
Improperly Done-Mr Dant's serious
Condition.
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 16.-In the
continued inquest on the victims OF the
Ford's theatre disaster to-day, L. g..
Entwistle, the building inspector of the
District, testified that the mortar used
in the alterations was bad and the brick
work badly done. If he had had au-
thority TO prevent 1t, he would not have
permitted the work to be done in the
way it was, for there was too much
risk.
Architect Clark, Of the Capitol, testi-
fed that the weight on the floors was
considerably less than the safety limit.
Augustus Davis, builder, and an un-
successful bidder for the electric light
ing work, sain he thought the plans for
the work were such thSt no man could
form from them an intelligent idea as
TO what was wanted He said he had
told Contractor Simms, before Captain
Thorpe, that II the contract were let to
some damned fool he might tear down
the building.
VIM. G.. Covert, superintendent Of the
old theatre building, testified that Col.
Ainsworth has cautioned him particu-
larly not TO give any instructions
to the contractors, but to 90 down to
the cellar as much as possible, and il he
saw anything calculated to endanger
the building, to notify him (Col. Aims

make any report on 1t to him.
After James Il. McGill, an architect,
had testified that any man in his right
senses would not have done such work
as that beneath the theatre without
snoring; that competent draughtsman
should have drawn the plans, and that
an expert should have superintended
the work according TO custom, the jury
adjourned until tomorrow.
Contractor Dant, who was doing the
work, Is in a serious condition, his mind
being affected. Whenever spoken to OF
the calamity, he breaks down and cries
like child. His condition Is so serious
| that the doctor has denied the presence
| OF all save the members OF his family.
Among the victims of the disaster
was the son of John A. DAILY, an ex-sol-
der of Pennsylvania, employed as a
Waterman in the Interior Department.
Mr.. Daily was discharged some days
ago, but when Secretary Smith learned
| that young DAILY had. been killed, ana
that the family might suffer by reason
OF the fathers dismissal, he immedi-
stely ordered his reinstatement.

an additional duty Of is cents per
pound would be imposed. As con-
sequence they imported tin plates In
Unprecedented quantities. The imports
during the fiscal year 1891 amounted to
1,Os6, 4s9, O74 pounds. in comparison
with an average annual importation OF
5,64s, 429 pounds during the undis-
turbed period from July l, 1885, to
january, 1890.
As the effect Of this enormous impor-
tation, very large overstock OF foreign
tin plates was piled up in this country
by July 1, 1891. Naturally the Imports
during the fiscal year 1892 ran consid-
erably below the average. They amount
ed TO no more than 422, 176,202 pounds.
But in the current fiscal year, for ten
months of which returns have come to
hand, the imports OF foreign tin plates
have again risen, until they have prac-
tically recovered their old level. In the
ten months the imports for the current
fiscal year show very large increase
over those for the corresponding period
last year. If the same ratio OF increase
holds good for the two remaining
months, the imports for 1898 will aRgre-
gate 652, 900, 900 pounds. That is to
say, they will run within 100000
pounds Of the average annual imports
in the undisturbed term before the Nc
Kinley bill was thought Of, when the
tin plate industry was on a normal
basis "
