Failure at Cincinnati.

Cincinnati O., Aug. 1.-The Standard Wagon company and the Davis company assigned this afternoon to Edward Ritchie, with preferences. The Standard is credited with having S30o, GOO assets and $400,000 liabilities, and the Davis company with $15O000, but no statement of lia- Utilities is given. President Burrows of the unfortunate concerns attributes the failure to the alleged fact that the bank CTS dollar has doubled in value, while the manufacturers dollar has decreased, and as a consequence depreciation in really good assets makes it impossible for him to meet liabilities.

Further Particulars.

Montgomery, Aug 1.-(Special)-T excitement over the chase of Railroad Bill grows more intense as the minutes go by, and 1t is almost certainty that he will be captured before morning. At 6:30 this evening the following telegram from Superintendent Mckinney was re ceived:
 Castleberry, Ala, Aug. 1.-The posse jumped "Railroad" at 5:30 D. m. one mile south of the depot, near the tank. He shot a hole through Tom Downing's hat and jumped into the bushes. Downing shot at him through the bushes, but he kept going. Whatever you do have all trains run through Castleberry south at a fast gait He is fixing to take train if possible. J. l. MchlNNE1.
 Agent Demng telegraphed from Ever green at 10:40 that an armed negro an swering to the description of Railroad halted him near the station tonight. Deming fled, and the negro has not been seen since A posse of fifty citizens is organizing to effect his capture The six bloodhounds from Pratt mines will probably be taken off the south bound train at 12 o'clock and put on the trail.
 Secretary Warden has his headquarters in the dspatcher's office here tonight. and is transmitting all advices received to Governor Oates at Florence.

THEY ARE HOT ON HIS TRAIL The Redoubtable Railroad" Bill
 Surrounded. THE EXCHANGE OF SHOTS Between Him and One of the Posse Conc Near Adding to His Vistims-Cap-
 ture Almost Certain.

Brewton. Aug 1.-(special)- hounds struck "Railroad" Bills trail about one mile below Castleberry at S.SO o'clock this morning. He was pursued by twenty or thirty determined and we'll armed citizens on foot and horseback a distance of nearly a mile, when the desperado was pushed so closely that he turned and fired on the hounds, killing the leader of the pack. At 10 o'clock the negro escaped under cover of the dense swamp in which he was being chased. The other dogs refused to go further, and nearly all of the men returned to Castleberry.
 At 2:30 this afternoon the hunt was re newed, but the men in charge Of the dogs thought that it was useless. Small squads of citizens secured the swamp m every direction. On the 4 o'clock north bound train Sheriff McMillan of Escam- bia county and posse of fifteen or twen- ty men arrived A small army met and a company was organized quickly, more de- termned than ever
 The posse took to the swamp where the dog was killed and began tracking their game again. scattering in all directions. Tn short while a rifle shot, followed in quick succession by a dozen more, was heard Charles Dyer of Flomaton, Tn a very dense thicket, found the desperado behind two crosse logs. 'Rallfoad Bill opened fire on him, the first ball go ing through Dyer's hat brim. Dyer could not see the negro longer than few sec onds. but shot at him several times. The hounds were brought to the spot in few moments but there being many other tracks they could do nothing, and the desperate escaped.
 The excitement here and along the Louisville and Nashville railroad from Evergreen to Bay Minette is intense. There are at least 100 men here loaded for bear and ready for tomorrow. All possible avenues of escape are well guarded tonight, and all trains will be watched so he cannot escape that way. Another pack of hounds will arrive on the midnight train from Pratt mines and Jemison, Ala, and If this much wanted man killer is in this vicinity many predict that he will not see tomor- rows sun set.
 Superintendent Mckinney is on the grounds, and the men are looking to him and the sheriffs for advice.

Gignoux held that it was in the in

section the ranchers had to pay their
hands in the Fall, and their Fall
taxes at the same time and it was
great hardship. Some had to barrow
money at outrageous rates, and some
had to sell property to meet the tax
