MtNNEAPoLIs, MINI, Nov. 1O.-New
revelations in the affairs of Louis II.
Menage, the president of the lnsolvent
Guaranty Loan Company, are OF
rather startling nature. The schedule OF
his liabilities, which were flled az the time
of his assignment to the 81. iaui anu
MINNEAPOLIS Trust Company, last july,
have finally come to light and are said 70
show that Menage began the systematic
Numbering of the company OF whlcn ne
was president in November, 1882, and kept
It nm pefsistently until tho suspension OF
the company, May 10th, 1888
In that time Menage secured SS23, l5l ~
in cold cash, to say nothing OF Sl6l 900
which he had secured previous to the time
mt ntioned above.
April 18th he borrowed S55,00O from the
conipuny; four days before the suspension
he got $40, 5l6.l7 in one note, and one day
before the suspension he took last pull
and secured Sl5 0O1. One day IN January
last he drew 100000.
Besides these amounts, which were Dor
rowed from the company on Manages per-
| sonal notes, secured by collateral securi-
| ties" other parties, private indiSiduais,
| banks and corporations, were played
| for about 100000 more.
| Menage's total personal liabilities, there
fore, are about 81 100000. The greaier
| part of this amount stands on the books oil
the Guaranty Loan Company as assets.
| Manages private assets are, for the most
part, in paper of doubtful value, although
il contains some stock that may be real
lied on.

they would certainly have been seen by
some one yesterday.
The report reached Bardstown las

believed that the trouble was entirel,
over, but shotgun rule has been estaO
lished at Samuel's station, and last nigh
heavy guard was placed over tn
house Of Edward Hall, the father OF tn
victims OF Phil Evans crime.
At midnight Saturday night tn
people in that neighborhood wer
startled by two blasts of dynamite tina
shook the houses for half mile rounc
Almost heTore thew could spriuE frpl
their beds the stiffness of the night wa
again broken by the discharge of abou
40 shotguns and pistols, and in ie'
minutes more the remnants OF u
