THOSE CHICAGO FAIR TICKETS.



lapse of the Excursion Company.
The Columbian Fair Excursion Com
pany in which several young men of this
city had deposited cash on account of ex-
penses in visiting the Worlds Fair at Chi
cage, has made an assignment, and IL
looks as il the Wilmington excursionists
will lose their money. The assigning COM
pany as far as can be learned was bona
tide concern and possessed three hotels
with a guest capacity totaling over 900.
The Wilmington agents are Murphy
brothers. Under the prospectus they sold
tickets for stay of seven days in Chicago.
The sum of S43.50 included the trip there
and return and the weeks board. Sums of
% were taken as an instalment.
The money was paid into the Union
Bank here and then transmitted to the
Hide and Leather Bank Of Chicago. Both
these banks acted merely as depostaries,
transmitting and handing over the funds
to the Columbian Fair Excursion Com
pany Of Chicago accordingly the money
accumulated. However, previous to send
ing the Wilmington funds away, Cashier
Dandy took the preoaution of inauiring of
the Chicago bank as to the standing of the
excursion company,
A satisfactory reply was received from
the Windy City, and then the funds were
sent along. 1t is seen thus that the banks
were simply the gatherers of the funds.
Murphy Brothers acted in good faith, it
seems, and paid over all they received on
instalment. The local payments ranged
from s. to $40, the total not exceeding
$3.50; Murphy Brothers, it is stated, ex-
pended the sum of $3.50 in advertising.
They are out that much clear. Expression
is made of the hopes of the excursion
company resuming.
