Affairs of Harper's.

At the instance of the creditors whose
claims aggregate nearly half the entire
Indebtedness Of Harper & Bros, the
New York publishers, a committee OF
Eve men, of which Alexander e. Orr
is chairman, has undertaken to pre-
pare and submit to creditors plan OF
reorganization. Preliminary to this
task the committee has prepared a
statement of facts in which it Is set up
that the total liabilities of Harper 6
Bros. on December 1889, were $3,6S3,
900, diminished since the date named
by the turning over of $150,000 Of
bonds, which leaves the total indebt-
edness $2,933, 900. The secured indebt-
edness is $1,O01, 900. consisting of notes
on open account and a mortgage of
6,se0 seesred by bonds and real estate
The unsecured Indebtedness comprises
commercial paper and open accounts.
Tho estimated net available assets.
not covered by mortgage,to meet unse-
cured claims, are substantially $442,-
607. This is arrived at by deducting
from the gross estimated assets,
amounting to $212O,413, the assets
covered by first mortgage, and bond
and mortgage, in the sum of $1,6OO,00o
and amounts due preferred creditors to
the amount of $77,S66.
The net liabilities in excess of bond
cd Indebtedness are placed at $1,962,-
6l2, and comprise bills payable, gener-
al creditors, manuscripts, advertising
and unexpired subscriptions, leaving
net available assets equal to 22.5 per
cent OF net available liabilities, ex-
elusive Of cost of recelvership and Iiq-
uidation.
The committee regards the foregoing
estimate OF value of assets, except as a
going concern, to be very excessive.
All of the assets covered by the mort
gage are deducted in computing the
probable excess Of unsecured creditors,
because in the committees judgment
the property covered by the mortgage
would not realize, under foreclosure
sale, more than enough to satisfy the
secured claims.
The committee therefore recon-
mends to the creditors that the bust
ness be continued under strong single
handed control. The committee has
assurances from the holders of prac-
Hcally all the bonds that with the con-
currence of unsecured creditors con-
tinuance may be had upon a sound
financial basis. The plan for the fl
nanctal readjustment of the corpora
lions affairs is now in preparation, and
will be duly submitted to the oredi-
tors.-New York Tribune.

Marriage License Statistics.

In spite of The fact that people who
thought they knew, predicted that the
number of marriage licenses issued IN
der the new law which has been in ef-
feet since January l. 1899. would be
less than under the old law, the records
in the Probate Office show that the
number issued this year is about the
same as for last. Many people thought
that the great amount of trouble in
getting "a marriage license under the
new law would prevent the issuance of
so many licenses as usual, but people
will get married in spite of the diff
eulties thrown in their way, as the
records for 1899 will prove.
There were issued by the Probate
Judge OF Washington county during
the year just ended, 467 licenses to
wed or ten less than during the year
previous. Beside this there were six
marriages by publication of banns,
bringing the total number to 473, maxi
ing the average rate of issmlnce about
8 per week
The fact that the number has kept
well up with that of previous years
goes to show that people who wish 10
get married are quick to learn the re-
quirements for getting a llnense. The
number OF applicants turned away
without license has been comparative
ly small.
