CHARLES S. DAY FAILS.
He Makes An Offer of Is Cents on the
Dollar to His Creditors.

ne wakes An OIlef OF 10 OentS on the
Dollar to His Creditors.
Charles S. Day, the well-kncwn deal
er in mems furnishing goods at the cor
ner of Main and Pearl streets, whose
property has been under attachment on
several suits recently brought against
him, has, through his counsel, Blackmer
&vaughan. madean offer OF composition
of 10 cents on the dollar payable May l.
He owes $4,000, of which little more
than $4,000 is for merchandise and the
balance on notes. The most of the
merchandise creditors are jobbing hous-
es in New York and other cities outside
of Massachusetts. Failing to effect a
composition with his creditors in ac-
cordance with the offer, insolvency pro-
ceedings will undoubtedly be resorted
to.
Mr.. ray has been in business at the
corner of Main and Pearl streets for a
great many years and has been in the
mems furnishing goods business for
about 20 years. His present difficulty is
attributable to the hard times that have
especially affected this class of business
since 1893. He was formerly in eopart-
nership with John n Morse, Jr., whom
he bought out between two and three
years ago. 1t is understood that he can
obtain some financial assistance, suffi-
cient to furnish the money necessary to
compromise with the creditors and fur
nish a working capital, providing his
present affairs can be adjusted so that
he may be able to take a partner into
business with him.

meeting, as now seems hignly probable,

Hotel on Mechanic street, will offer an
elegant silver trophy to be played for
by the teams finishing in first and sec
ond place at the erd of the season.
Mr. Kennedy, in company with many
others, is enthusiastic over the proposed
county league, and believes that addi-
tional interest might be aroused if the
teams knew they We're to get something
more than mere honor by finishing in
first place. 1t is for that reason that he
now makes announcement of his pro-
posed gift.
The trophy will be given oy him to the
base ball association without a single
string attached The association can
decide the manner in which the two
leading teams will contest for the tro-
ply, the number of games that shall be
played, as we'll as the disposition that
shall be made of the gate receipts. The
donors only condition is that it shall be
known as the Kennedy trophy, and that
the league must finish the season in or
der to be entitled TO contest for the en-
blem.
When seen by a representative of the
Spy Tuesday evening regarding the Of
fer, Mr.. Kennedy was not inclined to
say much. THE boys" he said, came
to me and said, Mr.. Kennedy, what are
you going to do to help the association
along?' l told them I would offer sill
yer trophy, as you already know, and
am glad to find that this is satisfactory
to them. 1t certainly is to me. intend
to put at least $3.50 into the trophy, and
to have it executed from a special de-
sign"
