THREE ASSIGNMENTS.
j. III. McLain, the j. ii. McLain
Machine Co. and Frank O.
McLain Forced To the Wall.

A general feeling of uneasiness among
capitalists, a chaotic condluon OF the
money markets, coupled with inability 70
realize at once upon investments Wnlcn
were apd still are considered safe, preN
cipitated failures today, the announce
msnt of which was received with deep re.
gret by all of our citizens. The deeds OF
assignment filed in probate court involve
James Ii. McLain, the j. ii. McLain
Machine Company and Frank G. McLain.
j. H. McLain, personally, assigns to o. u.
McLain, of Massillon. The Machine
Frank c. McLain assigns to Eugene
Willisop, a leading attorney of Massillon'
With respect 10 the assets and liabilities
but little can be determined. The liabils
tiles of the j. H. McLnin Mschine Com
pauy will reach 100000 according
TO the most authentic reports.
A report of the condition Of the
year, showed the company to be IN good
shape, apparently, their liabilities not be-
ing such that could not bs easily covered
by the assets. That suchis now the con-
ditioD will probably be discovered when
matters finally assume definite shape,
so that the inference is that the strinRency
of the money market Is likely to blame
for the financial disaster OF the company.
The plant, book accounts, machinery, etc,
are valued at S75, 600 and the company has
. number Of outside interests and some
real estate which brings the sum up to
$l50,000. 3. II. McLain has personal prop
erty and real estate TO the value OF S,OO9
Frauk C. hcLain had a valuable stock OF
art goods, lac curtains and many makes
of bicycles. his assets are about 1900. /.
The liabilities probably exceed this sum :.
On Monday evening Frank C. McLain
gave mortgage deed TO the j. II. McLain
Machine company in the sum OF $s,6l2.79,
which makes the company preferred
creditor.
local banks, capitalists and business
men will not suffer by. rea'
son of the MeLain failures.
The liabilities are mainly held
in the eastern cities and New
England, and IL any creditors suffer
to any extent II will be eastern people.
II any local banks or capitalists have
money involved IL is In such small sumo
and so widely distributed that II is but
triyial.aud amounts practically to nothing.
II 10 sincerely hoped that the financial
conditions will In few days be cleared
up 30 that IL will be seen that the failures
are really not failures but merely tie-ups
which are but temporary. II 10 thought
by those beat informed that the j. h. Me-
Lain Machine Company will be able to
settle with its creditors at one hundred
cents on the dollar.

NOT A WIFE.
THE QUESTION IN DORA BARNsTT'S
CASE SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN
ANSWERED..

John Neal, who Married q Canton Town
ship Farmers Daughter, Arrested and
Taken to New Philadelphia on the
Charge OF Bigamy,
Reference was made In these columns,
some months since, to the peculiar eohul'
hons surrounding the marriage OF 'onii
Nea,, an Akron stree car motormen, anu
Dora Barnelt, daus hter of John BArnen'
"a thrifty Canton tuHnship farmer, lne

In Akron, Some time after Ihe marriage

Akron for support OF his cnliu, anu
IL became known that prior 10 nls mar
riage with Dora Barnett ne he1, unuer

TiAge TO the young Akron girl settled u
amt for paterniIy which she was about TO
bring against him. Shortly after the
marriage ne left for Colorado ana atter a
residence of seven months In that stale'
secured q divorce. When ne returned 'o
Akron he met Dora barneV, VINO was was
waiting there, aud later married ner,
Shortly after tue marriage be was arresIeu
by Mrs, Neal No. for not supporting thell
cnild. In defense Neal offered the dlvorce
decree and the case was STAYED OH tor the
time, Ii transpires that there is ques-
| tion as to the legality of the divorce, since
Neal was a resident of Colorado but seven
months and the law expressly s'Ates
that one must have reslusu III
the State during the year last
preceding the application or divorce can
not be granted. After the settlement, OF

| Neal took his wife, nee Miss
Barnett, to Akron and they have since
lived there. Neal refused to do anything
| in the way OF helping wife No. and her
| child, and on the strength that bis

| No. caused his arrest for biRamy. The
arrest was made Wednesday night, and
| Neal was at once taken to New Phllas
| delphie where he will answer to the charge

claimed that Neal obtained the Colorado
| divorce by fraud and misrepresentation.
Mrs. Neal No. 2, who according TO late
developments is not Mrs, Neal AT all. heL
