AN OLD FIRM ASSIGNS
FAILURE OF BAMBERGER, BLOOM &
CO., WHOLESALE DRY GOODS.
WelI-Known Louisville House and
south-Liabilities, $1,2OO,OOO.

LOUISVILLE, Oct. 26 = Bambercer,
Bloom & Co., large wholesale dry goods
firm of this city, made assignment at 2
O'Clock this afternoon to the Columbia
Finance and Trust Company. At the same
time the individual members OF the firm,
Levi Bamberger of New York. Julius Bam-
berger and Lee Bloom, of this city, made
assignments of all their property to the
same trust compsny <ystse benefit Of their
creditors. No schedule OF assets and LA
bilities has been flied. but it is thought
the liabilities will amount TO sl,20o.O0O and
that the nominal assets will equal that
amount. In 1889 the firms store on Main
street was destroyed by fire. Its business
interrupted and there was long. vex-
atious and costly litigation. Then came the
bad years OF 1892 1888 and 1884, and the
strain was too great for the resources of
the firm. and to-day the assignment came.
Mr.. Lee Bloom said: From the effects of
the fire of 1889 we never quite recovered,
as we could not collect the trade that scat
tered. Then came the panics Of 1890 and
1885, preventing us from making any money,
and as there was general decline in prices
amounting to about an average or oU 10 %
per cent, our losses can well be imagined
on the large stock OF goods we were COM
just beginning to believe that We saw bet
ter times ahead when other losses occurred
and other complications arose in the East.
Our paper, which always sold we'll in New
York, was declined, and last week a bank
in New York with which we had been do
ing business for years cut down our line
of credit to Just one-half, and at a time
when we needed IL most. There are large
amounts for merchandise maturing-over
$4,000 alone In New York to-day, and be-
tween this and Dec. / about $350,O00 more.
We have not been able to go over our
books. but our liabilities are, in round fig
ures somewhere about $1.2O0.000 and our
assets on our books above that amount,
but what they will realize in liquidation
cannot tell
Bamberger, Bloom & Co. has been known
as being scarcely without rival west Of
the Alleghenies. The firm has a branch
house in New York at Nos. lis and III
Worth street. The business was established
in 1852 and during all the years of its his
tory the house has always been known for
its high integrity and commercial sound
ness Many a storm was weathered by the
old house and no firm in the United States
enioyed a better reputation or has had a
better credit. Bamberger, Bloom Il Co. had
the largest trade In jeans in the world.

between France and Madagascar conveyed
the first details of the convention 10 the

given, however, as the general opinion in
the department, that according 10 the terms
of the agreement so far as given, the French
have succeeded in making their own terms
with Madagascar, and that the protectorate

WASHINGTON. Oct. 26.-Mr. Crammond
Kernedy, the attorney who has presented
the Waller case TO the State Department,
on being shown the Paris cablegram said
that the effect OF the treaty undoubtedly
would be to prejudice and perhaps to an

the French authorities could effect that
result But 1T remained to be seen. Mr..
Kennedy said, what the United States gov
ernment would say respecting prejudicing

opinion that this government will not allow

COLUMBIA s. c., Oct. 26.-In the con-
stitutional convention to-day Mr. Whip
per, colored delegate, addressed the con-
vention for two hours, contending that the
negro never had been responsible for the
frauds committed in South Carolina when
they were in power, but that it was the
work of designing white men, for which
the negroes were not responsible. He de-
clared that the scheme fsdisfranchisement

signing men for their own interest Though
it would be passed, the negroes, said Whip
per, would fight IL in the Supreme Court of

all these failed, before the people Of the
country. He was followed by Robert
Smalls, also colored, who commended that
the negro was here to stay, and that it
was to the interest of the white men to
see that he got all rights. Debate was
then adjourned until Monday.

The Union reluctantly published
the formal announcement of the can
didacy of +. H. Caldwell, of Milan.
for congress this morning. In this
Mr.. Caldwell, who has hitherto been
spoken of in The ARGUS as a candi-
date for the republican nomination,
states that he will be in the race I'M
til the convention, and then if some
one else shall get the nomination he
will do as much to elect him as he is
able. This much the Union takes ex-
ception to. 1t thinks he should cease
his candidacy with the county con-
vention, should he not win the dele
cation from this county. The same
the Union would have equally true of
Ainswsrth. In other words, Mr..
Gest proposes to carry the county
convention by storm, and therefore
all other aspirants in this county
must stand aside. 1t wishes both
candidates to define their positions
on this point. OF course as Gest and
the Union are running things. both
Mr.. Ainsworth and Mr.. Caldwell will
hasten to do their bidding.
