Mr. Jordan, speaking also for the others,
said: For some time past we have ex-
perienced great difficulty in making col
lections, and for this reason were unable
TO meet our obligations. Several of our
largest creditors entered suits against us
Friday The result of these suits will
be known on the first Monday in June,
the rule day of the court. Just at pres
ent we are unable to say what turn af-
fairs viii take, but II is the hope of the
firm that everything viii eventually he
paid" The firm is one of the oldest In tho
city 1t was first established at Warrington
but business was opened in this city in
1867 and has continued without inter1ns-
sion since that time. The firn did an ex-
tensive business and it's dealings have
reached every section of the country. For
years they have been the Pensacola agents
for the Lion brewery beer of Cincinnati
and succeeded in firmly establishing If
here. The following circular was sent out
by them last night to their creditors out
side of this city: 1--WE regret to have TO
inform you that our inability to collect
money due us has been such that we are
unable to pay our obligations. and have
been sued for large amounts We desire
TO say that IL is the intention of every
member of the firm to see that all debts
Of the firm are eventually paid in full. and
hope that our ability may be equal to our
earnest desire, The business will pro-
coed as usual until the results of fha
suits suit. a., are known, and then it is probable
| that its further continuance will depenS
| upon the action of the creditors
