RECEIVER APPOINTED.
THE :HoNNET DRY GOODS GO. FINANCIALLY EMBAR
 RAISED.
Applied for a Receiver to Prevent suit-HOpe to Reorganizs
 Soon.

Attorney M. L. Altheimer, repre- senting the stockholders of the Honnett Dry Goods Company, ap- peared in the Ghancery Court this morning and filed She following complaint
 A. s. Honnetl and Joseph Altheim-
 CT, plaintiffs,
 vs.
 Honnet Dry Goods Company, de- fendants.
 Complaint in Equity.
 A. $, Honnet and Joseph Al. theimer, the plaintiffs herein, state: That the defendant herein, Honnett Dry Goods Company, is q corpora ti0n duly organized, existing and doing business under the laws of the State of Arkansas; that they are stockholders in said corporation.
 That said corporation is insolvent. Sundry creditors have placed claims in the hands of attorneys, who have all either brought suit or are threat ening to bring suit, and secure ludg- ment against said Honnett Dry Goods Company, and levy execution upon the goods, wares and merchant disc and other assets, to the great damage of the stockholders of said corporation, and to other creditors who may not have such judgment, this being in a measure a preference of Nb0 fn1s ouot. nnnfha,.
 The plaintiffs further state that the interests of all parties concern ed, stockholders, creditors and oth-l CTS, would be protected and the as4 sets prevented from being lessened or destroyed by the appointment of a receiver to take charge for this court of all the assets of such cor poration and distribute them equal ly among the creditors, after paying the wages and salaries due the la borers and employees, In accordance with the laws of the State of Arkan- sas governing insolyent corpora tions.
 Wherefore, plaintiffs pray for the appointment of a receiver, as above mentioned, and for such other and further relief as to this court may seem just and proper.
 A. $. HoNNET,
 JOSEPH ALTHE1MER.
 The assets of the Honnet Dry Goods Company are estimated by Q member of the firm to be $40, ,000, with $25, GOO liabilities.
 The receivership was rendered necessary on account of the attitude of some of the creditors. On ac- count of the dull season the com pany was unable to meet it's oblga- tions. They hope to satisfy all demands against them and organize Q new corporation in the next two weeks.
 Mr. Chas. Well was appointed re- ceiver and placed under Q $2O, GOO bond. Stock taking was begun at once. The stock will probably be sold in bulk,
 In February 1896 the Honnett Dry Goods Company was incorpor- ated with a capital of $20, GOO. The members were:
 A. s. Honnet, Matilda Altheimer, Ben J. Altheimer, Joseph Altheimeg and I. w. Miller.

fldGe reception,
 Dreyfus' clerks turned out in full force to meet Mai Brekinridge at the train. They were attired in long linen dusters and high-topped hats. When the procession started to the hotel they took position behind the brass band and many by-standers thought that perhaps Fields mins- trels had again come to town. The young men attracted much atten- ton and it proved a good advertise ment for Dreyfus.
 There was a large crowd assem- blad at the Cotton Belt depot, to meet Maj. Breckinridge Many ladies were in evidence. When the Major alighted from the cars he was given q grand ehurrah!" At night the opera house was crowded.
 Ex-Governor simon P. Hughes, at present associate Justice of the Su- preme Court of Arkansas, was a member of the party that came down from Little Rock last night to at tend the Breckinridge reception.
 Maj. Breckinridge presents a very healthy appearance upon his return from Russia. He has a rotundity not previously characteristic of him. Altogether the land of the Car seems to have agreed with his health ex- ceedingly well. He possesses a com paratively robust stature and re- turns to his hone at least 9 pounds heavier than when he left us. And his increase in weight and rosy cheeks are very becoming to him. But when his face is turned the back of his head reveals the rayages of time by q slight baldness not observ- able when he was last among us.
