cREDIrons PROVED THEIR CLAIMS.
Sale of NJ. $. Browns stock VIII he
Continued for the Present.

The first meeting of the creditors of NJ.
S Brown, bankrupt. was held yesterday at
the office Of Referee A. II. MacDonel, be
fore whom the case is now pending. a
large part of the time was consumed in
proving the claims of the creditors.
Claims were proved to the amount Of
about $4,000. In the schedules attached
to his petition the bankrupt showed that
his Liabilities exceeded this figure by about
5000, but it is probable that the greater
part Of this consisted of old claims which
the holders are either not anxious or not in
a position TO push. Most of the indebted
ness incurred during the conduct of the
clothing and mems furnishings business on
BrouEhton street is doubtless included in
the claims that have been filed.
Brown was on the stand and told the
story of his failure in business and how it
had come about. He said that he ascribed
his III luck to failure to provide himself
with sufficient capital before he started,
which resulted in a lack of ready cash and
consequent inability to discount his bills
by meeting them promptly or by paying
cash. He labored on in this manner unul
spring when he found that il was impos-
sible to get his orders honored by the
clothing firms in the North and West
Thus he was left vii hout a stock of
summer clothing 10 attract the soldiers
who were mustered out here and did not
secure much OF this profitable business.
Neither were Savannah men much attract
ed by a display of winter clothing nor
could they be induced to buy il for use
during the time when the mercury dalles
playfuNy up about the century mark and
refuses to come off its perch. The bank
rupt said that he had been carrying on
the business since he had filed his petition
and showed an inventory of the sales and
profits since that time.
Mr. w. r. Hewlett was elected trustee
for the creditors and win take charge at
once of the stock and available assets
For a time at least the stock win be sold
at the old stand, certainly uutf it is found
that some more advantageous method oil
disposing of il can be discovered. A second
meeting of the creditors VIII he held on
Friday morning when this matter VIII re-
| ceiVe further consideration.
