Va financial crash ever fell to the lot of
p.,ttlpbolo with such unexpectedness and
t,,re as on Tuesday evening, when it be-
.,n,o known that f. II. Van Doom would
Eos voluntary petition in insolvency, and
I., his failure would cause the embar.
..,.mpnt of the three firms of which he is
%s head. Van Doom Il Morris, Brattle-
t,,o crackery; Jordan & Van Doom,
P.,ttleboro. iewelry; Van Doom & Til.
en- FINLAND. crockery. Mr.. Van Doorn's
1er,,na obligations are in round numbers
AK OOO and the debts of the three store
,,rcerns about SIS, 900. The assets of the
stores are about equal to the liabilities,
and fine holders of the store notes and
Claims will lose comparatively little. Mr..
Tan Doorn's personal assets are small, and
,be holders Of his personal paper will be
heavy losers Mr.. Van Doom owns a fine
bonsr on Chaplin street and another house
m oak street, but both are heavily mort
gagged.
4 distressing feature about the failure is
that the fortune of Mr.. Van Doorns
mother will be swept away completely.
He has other relatives who will lose heav-
ly. and several persons who placed conf
jence in his financial strength will be dis
tressed. 1t is unfortunate for Brattleboro
that nearly all the creditors are here at
home. In most such cases the creditors
are city dealers who have had profit for
Years on goods sold to those who have
failed. but now here the total liabilities on
account of goods bought for the stores does
not exceed $4,000.
A few people have known that during the
past few months Mr.. Van Doom had some
paper which was apparently causing him
trouble to carry, but there was no one
not even the bankers or Mr.. Van Doorn's
business partners-but who supposed that
be was solvent. He had a financial rating
of $4,000, and many believed him to be
worth much more than this. He was gen.
orally looked upon as one of the substan-
tia men of the town, and many would
have declared him to be worth $50, 900 to
100000.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1897-05-07


1t has been a matter of common discus
sion as to how Mr.. Van Doorn's affairs
could have got into this shape, with the
property which he was supposed to have
received from his father. When the facts
are known, as they are stated by Mr.. Van
Doom, the situation is not so difficult to
understand. 1t is the general impression
that Mr.. Van Doom started in business at
his fathers death with net capital OF
$500 to $4,000.
The estate left by Moses Van Doom at
his death in the fall of 1885 comprised the
Main street dwelling and blacksmith shop,
with life insurance and cash amounting to
$1,000. There were also the Brattleboro
and Rutland stores, on which there was
an ip6r.o,siC,nad S for business paper and
mer- -SieT F fch as business firms usually
carry. - real estate there was
mortga 1000. The real estate and
cash WEE To Mrs. Van Doom. To f..
Ii. Van DUorn was left the two stores, and
he was to redeem for his mother the real
estate mortgage. 1t will thus be seen that
Mr.. Van Doom started in business in 1886
with the goods and business of these two
stores, less this mortgage, and the amount
OF the business paper due. The father ana
son had made an investment of SlO,OOO IN
the Vermont ], i've Stock company, which
proved Improbable. Much of the real es-
tate business Into which K. II. Van Doom
entered was Undertaken to work off his
stock in the Vermont Live Stock company.
His interest account. increased and soon
came to amount to large item. The hard
times came on III 1898, and since 1898 bus
mess in his stores, as in all others, has
been done under heavy handicap.
Early in 1893 Mr.. Van Doom made a
large in 7estmeLt, upwards of $1l 900, in
the purchase of the F. A. Hubbard store
since known as the Jordan e. Van Doom
store. Losses have been sustained in his
real estate transactions, which included
the building of several houses. These sew
eral items, accumllating and increasing
from year to year, account for the heavy
balance of liabilities.
Mr.. Van Doom stat,s that he has never
engaged in speculation o. Invested dolla
in any speculative enterprise. He ha
never owned Western loan, " made an!

Gentlemen: Our little daughter is now

her trouble a great deal worse. / was

Sarsaparilla, because | had great faith in
it, and after awhile we could see that she

her face is as

Frustrated Plan Of Securing Free
dem oniy 10 be Bafned.

The determination with winch
the inmates Of the federal jail
here persist in procuring free
dom, again shows itself.
OF late several attempts have
been made a. tunnel ont, but in
each of which the guards have
caught ON" before the desired
point could be- reached.
About week ago they had
practically got to the fouuda-
ton of the rock wall on the
west side of the Jail when they
we've discovered.
Last night another effort,
equally unsuccessful was made,
digging in the dirt filed into
the old trench, at an hour when
discovery was least expected by
the prisoners, the guards found
that the inmates were again at
work. They found hole about
three feet under the surface
large enough for two men To
work in.
1t seems that the inmates
have got the idea that a base
ment exists under the rock
building on the west. To which
their untiring efforts are direct
e".
Today all available deputies
were called into service and a
careful aud thorough search of
the inside of the Jail, also OF
each individual prisoner i being
made.
What the result of this inves-

to be seen, but one thing is

better lot cf guards and officers
