PASADENA, August 1.-The contracts
will soon be let for Pasadena's two new
school buildings, both of which are badly
needed to make room for the increasing
mum ber of pupils applying for admission
to the public schools. The view OF the
structures displayed in the window OF
one of the local stores has attracted much
attention, particularly that of the plan
submitted by Messrs. Costersan e. Son
of Los Angeles. This building is to have
four rooms on each of the two floors, be-
sides large halls and cloak rooms, and the
other convenienses OF modern school
building. The matter of adequate light,
ventilation and other requisites of a
school room have not been neglected. and
it is thought these buildings will prove
satisfactory for the use for which they are
to be constructed. Until they are COM
pleted, which will probably not be sooner
than the first of tho new year, it will be
necessary TO rent some rooms outside OF
the school building now in use. The
plans submitted for the other building oy

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Aug. 1.-The

600 and the liabilities $i00, 600. Although
the Standard Wagon company confessed
Judgment yesterday to the Merchants
National bank for $32, 900, the failure Gre
ated stir today as it was considered by
some that the liabilities were heavier than
$40O, 600. Several years ago there was an
assignment by the company and after
considerable litigation the assignment was
raised. At the time of the raising Of the
assignment the liabilities of tie concern
were about $500, 1000. Since then the debt
has been reduced about 500. 900. The

has paid the debts it has paid out of the
earnings of the business. Bsfore the as
signment tha Standard company bought
out the Davis Carriage company. On the
sum to be paid for that concern there
has been paid about $780, 900 and there is
about the me amount due. The notes
for that debt are falling due all the time
and the company has not been able to
meet them without borrowing money. 1t
