WABASH, Ind. Sept. 2s.-One of the most
disastrous business failures which ever oc-
CURED in this city is that CT the Wabash
Church and School Furniture Company,
which took place to-day. The corporation
was organized twenty-five years ago. and
to-day filed a deed of trust TO all its prop
erty TO James Lynn, jr Mr.. Lynn at once
filed bond in the sum of 100000 and as
sumed control of the factory, which he will
continue 10 operate until all the stock is
worked up. After that, under direction of
the court, he will probably offer the prop
erty for sale. The Wabash School Furniture
Company was organized in 1873 with capi-
tai of S,O,Oo0. Its business vas large almost
from the start, but as every dollar of profit
went into betterments and no dividends
were declared, the smaller stockholders
gradually let go. and at the time of the
reorganization, eight years ago, the stock
was held by ten or a dozen persons. The
capital was then increased to 100000. With
In the past year serious differences have
arisen between j. S. Daugherty the largest.
shareholder, and Solomon Wilson, general
manager and owner of over third OF the
stock, and this rupture has widened until
IL became necessary for one or the other to
retire. Sept. 1 Mr.. Wilson resigned, as
dld his son Frank. who was secretary, and
on tuesday last suit was begun against

rectors made an examination of the
companys affairs, and finding them hope

Indebtedness of the concern is estimated
AT 10000 TO $4,000, while there are bills
and accounts receivable, large quantities
OF lumber and finished material and fine
