CREDITORS TO DECIDE.
They viii Be Told of the Real Situation
in Brewery Difficulty.

The meeting of the creditors of the
Worcester Brewing Company that was
held on Wednesday and resulted in, a
deadlock, is not by any means to be
the final act in the settlement Of the
firms affairs
AS stated in the columns Of The Spy.
there is a proposition that was placed
before the creditors at the meeting that
is still under consideration. It IS to
reorganize the company on a basis of
preferred stock for the present credit
ors, and to change the MANAGEMENT to
suit the reorganiZed conditions.
That this was not a popular course
with some of the stockholders was evil
denced by the deadlock that resulted
and by the attachment that was n1t
on the firms property by one of the
creditors present at the meeting, even
while the discussion was going on.
Despite the reluctance Of some of the
creditors to entertain the proposition
to reorganize, a portion of the humber
Oh those TO whom the company owes
money are determined that there shall
be a settlement that will allow the in
dustry to go on in some manner. If
no settlement can be reached, it is evil
dent that the plant will have to be sold
at auction to satisfy the attachments
that are being placed upon it.
Henry F. Harris of this city, who rep
resents $4,000 of credit here and else
where, is one of those who are deter
mined to defeat the ends of those who
are anxious to suspend the operations
of the plant in order to increase the
price of other brewery property in the
city, with the view to disposing of it
to the best advantage to the Springfield
syndicate.
Under his direction a circular was
gotten out by the committee on the
brewery affairs, yesterday explaining

(From the Lexington Leader.)

(From the Lexington Leader.)
From Olive HILL Carter county, comes
the story of a most remarkable case of
somnambulism. A few nights ago,
Emma, the fourteen-year-old daughter
of Capt. and Mrs. Brooks, living on a
farm mile east of Olive Hill, after
having finished her studies for the next
day, lay down on the bed to rest, but
did not intend TO go to sleep. She
promptly went to sleep. The rest Of the
family, thinking she had retired for
the night, did likewise.
About 10 o'clock Emma arose, put on
her macintosh and, carrying her shoes
In her left hand, left the house unob-
served in a deep sleep. She went to
the c. and o. track near the house and
started east. She walked rapidly and
was seen by no one until she passed
Alden, seven miles east of her starting
point, where the night operator no.
ticed her but did not speak to her.
The girls eyes were wide open, and
there was nothing in her appearance
to indicate that she did not know what
she was doing. She walked about four
miles further eastward before she
awoke, probably from pain caused by
the liberation of her feet She was
dazed, but promptly reversed her
course.
Meanwhile her absence had been no.
ticed, and her parents began telegraph
ing in both directions from Olive Hill.
From the Alden operator 1t was learned
that a girl answering Emma's descrip-
ton had passed eastward. A hand
car was secured, and the girl was
picked up on her return trip. Her feet
were terribly cut and she was in a
state of physical collapse. She said
she had dreamed that her mother had
told her to go after the COWS, and that
she remembered nothing else till she
awoke.
On her journey she had met three
trains and had been overtaken by two.
unconsciously stepping out of the way.
She had crossed fourteen bridges and
trestles, one Of the former being more
than 200 yards long and one she had
refused to cross in daytime She had
also passed through two tunnels and
over innumerable cattle guards. 1t was
her first ep-walking experience.

ploy of his uncle ,Heinrich Anger, a
maker of musical Instruments After
working at this trade for two years, he
went to Germany for short visit, but
came back to America in 1856.
In 1857 he came to Worcester and
worked for Isaac Fiske, the well known
manufacturer of musical instruments.
He remained in this employment for
IL years, when he was appointed as a
member of the Worcester police force,
by Mayor Davis.
At that time police appointments
were chiefly political, and officer Sand
ner lost his place in a year, Mayor Jill
sons election causing this. In 1876,
however, Mayor Jillson included Mr..
Sandner among his list of appointments
and from 1876 to 1881 officer Sandner
was a familiar figure among the blue
coats in Worcester.
In 1881 the civil service rules went
into effect and Mr.. Sandner lost his
position by reason of over age. In
March of the same year he made his
second trip tie the fatherland, visiting
his aged mother, and at the age of 81
had been blind for 30 years. She died
three years later.
On his return to Worcester Mr.. Sand
ner worked at his old trade for S. r.
Leland, and later for G.. G. Conn.
In 1858, February, Mr.. Sandner mar
ried Lena Ursa Gernahrdt, and the
union was blessed with eight children,
five of whom are now living. They are
George E. Sandner, clerk at the bot
Ting establishment Of George Bieber-
bach & Co.; Henry A. Sandner, fore
man at Goddard & Sons shoe factory;
Frank E. Sandner, moulder at Cromp-
toms; Mrs. Jacob Dornes and Miss Isa-
bel Sandner.
Mr.. Sandner was for more than 20
years a member of the F'rohsinns, and
also of Athelstan Lodge of Masons. He
was member of the Worcester Veter-
an Firemen's Association.
He was one of the Oldest German res
idents of the city and was universally
esteemed and respected
At the regular meeting of the mem
bers of the Frohsinn Society last night
it was voted to drape the charter for
80 days, in respect to the memory Of
Mr.. Sandner, and to send the usual
floral tribute A committee on reso-
lutions was appointed by the chair, in
Guiding Peter Turffs, Rudolph Convey
and Hermann Trott. AT the request of
the family but two pail bearers were
chosen; these are Herman Lucke and
Joseph Boyer. The other two bearers
will be appointed by Athelstan Lodge
of Masons.

Heinrich Anton Sandner, the first Ger
an-American citizen of Worcester to

died yesterday morning Of cancer. He
was 63 years old, and had been resi-
dent of Worcester for more than 40
years.
Mr. Sandner had been in poor health
