before Judge Benet, now holding
court at Camden, on last Saturday
claiming in part what has been
here recited and asked that a re
ceiver be appointed 10 take charge
of the business and wind up its
affairs in the interest of the credi
tors.
Judge Benet granted the prayer
of the petition, and appointed
Mr.. B. n. Moore, OF YorkvilIe.
temporary receiver, and also is
sued an order that Oh February
- he would hear argument and
reasons, if any there be, why the
order should not be made per.
manent.
AS soon as it became known
that the appointment of a re-
ceiver, in the person of Mr.. b. N.
Moore, had been made, Geo. w.
5. Hart, Esq, of Yorkville, repre-.
senting a number of large cred
itors, asked for an Injunction
restraining Mr.. Moore until argu.
ment could be heard asking for
the appointment of a coreceiver,
some of the interests being di-
verse. This argument was heard
by Judge Gage, at chambers, at
Chester, yesterday.
Six clerks were thrown out of
employment by the closing of
this store, and the failure will
hurt the town in many ways, as
it was the largest business house
in the place.
Having a nominal capital stock
of $4,000, they claimed assets in
the neighborhood of $4,000. and
owed in round numbers about
$4,000. The impression has
gained some currency that a good
deal of the assets of the concern
are scattered in the country in
the shape of accounts, but this is
doubtless erroneous, as the con.
Germ was supposed to do business
almost solely for cash.
AT one time this house did a
magnificent business, running up
to nearly 100000 a year, with a
clean net profit, it is stated by
those in a position to know, of
$4,000 for the first year. But
sales had fallen eff recently, until
the last years business was only
a little in excess of $4,000. The
live, pushing and aggressive bust.
ness methods employed by the
firm when it first opened here
were Il marvel to those who had
not dreamed of the possibilities
of "push, pluck, perseverance," :"
and the liberal use of printers
ink. 1t drew trade for miles and
miles. and from adjoining towns,
CAV" many genuine bargains, and
made money hand over fist. Mr..
Jones. the manager, was pointed
out by those who viewed success
as criterion in life.
But the beautiful picture is
turned to the wall; phenomenal
success has been followed by
crushing disaster.
The stockholders, who are also
the directors Of the company, are
Mr.. NJ. f. Jones and Mrs. Fannie
Jones, of Yorkville; and T. Yam
cy Williams. Esq, Of Lancaster.

CHINESE CRUISER USES
THE AMERICAN FLAG

YOKOHAMA, Aug. 21.-In connection
with the stranding of the United States
battleship Oregon on the Chinese coast
recently comes an authentic story that
is Enthusiastically American. AS the
story goes, the Chinese cruiser Haichi,
commanded by Captain Sab, a thor
oughly westernized officer, on her way
from Taku to Chefu, described the Ore
gon in her perilous plight and offered
her valuable assistance, which was
most gratefully received by Captain
Wilde. The Haichi anchored close by
to be of further use If needed.
The next day Russian cruiser came
along. Her commander coming aboard
the Oregon eyed the Chinese vessel
with suspicion and asked what she was
doing there. On being told he shook his
head and said 1t would nevertheless be
his duty to take possession OF her.
Captain Wilde nodded and answered: ::
We'll, I'm a bit embarrassed just now,
but there is ammunition aboard and
my guns are in excellent condition.
The next day, after the departure of
the Russian, Captain Wilde visited the
Haichi and suggested to Captain Sab
that as he was protecting some Ameri-
can refugees on board it might be well
for him to run up the American flag
to the fore. This was done and no
questions were asked by passing cruis-
ers afterward.

Big Storm In Maryland.

NEW YORK, August 21.-A specia
to the Times from baltimore says:
Maryland has been ravaged by terri lic
electrical. wind and transforms within
the last day or two. Several lives have
been lost, FIVE or six persons injured
and the estimated aggregate loss to
property is about $4,000. The storms
have also effectually broken the hot
test term ever known in Maryland. II
VIII be several days before the full ex-
tent of the damage is known. The
storms had their centers in Talbot.
Dorchester and Caroline counties. AT
Easton and throughout Talbot county
the hail did great damage to fruit.
Hundreds of bushels of peaches and
pears were cut from the trees. Many
houses were unroofed. Two colored
men were killed by beams crushing
them in the wreck Of a stable in Dor
chester county. Back in the country
number OF farm buildings were destroy
ed and 1t is reported that a number OF
people were killed and injured. In Cam
bridge the storms were the worst since
1876. Buildings were much damaged
and shipping as well.

The Casteilane Chateau.

NEW YORK, August 21.-A dispatch
from Paris to the Herald says: The
statement contained in cable dispatch
from Paris to the effect that the Cha
teau lie Marais. belonging to Count
Boni de Castellane, was about to be
sold under distress, causes some sur
prise in Paris.
NJ Henri Cachard, of the firm of
Coudert Bros, who acted for the Count
and Countess de Castellane said to Z
correspondent:
The Castellane family drew my at
tention to this erroneous statement
The Chateau owned by Count de Cas-
tellane is the Chateau lie 'Marais, stu
ated near Ramboulliet, near Paris
which formerly belonged to the Ouch
ess de Noailles. 1t is not going to be
sold and there is no question of selling
1t. The Count and Countess are stay
ing there at present"

to the Transvaal burghers who take
the oath of neutrality in the future has
been received with general approval
here. 1t is an undoubted fact that Lord
Roberts policy of so-called leniency has
been unpopular in Great Britain for
some time past and public opinion has
been urging that more severe measures
should be taken. The effect of the COM
mander-in-c chiefs proclamation will be
that all those burghers who have not
taken the oath of allegiance TO Queen
Victoria may be treated as prisoners
of war and removed fiom the country.
1t Is undoubtedly unprecedented to re-
gard a civilian population of an invad-
ed territory when unarmed as if they
were the enemys troops but 1t is main
tained that in fact the Transvaal
burghers are all actual or potential
combatants and 1t is impossible to
make distinctions between those In the
| field and those on their farms. The
farmers therefore. must choose. They
must either Loyalty become British sub
jects or else they must be deemed to
have thrown in their lot with the
Queens enemies. IL they take the oath
and violate 1t Lord Roberts threatens
them with Imprisonment or death and
! the farms and buildings of all persons
aiding and abetting the Boer forces
will be confiscated or destroyed.
Even the opposition journals. which
dislike the war, do not, for the most
part, object to these drastic measures
pointing out, that in the interests of the
Beers themselves as well as the British
II Is necessary that the campaign
should be brought to a conclusion and
the burghers taught the futility of re-
sistance. 1t is admitted, however that
the adoption of this policy must IN
tensify the savage and bitter character
which the struggle has now assumed
and that the immediate effect is likely
TO be a considerable accession to the
numbers of De Wet and other com
manders in the field.
orders have been sent TO Aldersho'
for fresh drafts of re-enforcements &c

does not look as IL the hope OF the min.
istry that large proportion of Gen
eral Roberts army may be brought
back in September is at all likely to b'
fulfilled.

THE SHIRT WAIST MAN
SUES VILLAGE RESTAURANT

CHICAGO, August 21.-Sol Bloom, a
music publisher, has brought suit for
$4,000 damages against the Union Res
taurant and Hotel in Randolph for re-
fusing 10 serve him while he was clad
in a shirt waist and minus a coat.
This is said to be the first time the
shirt waist question has been brought
before a court, Attorneys for the plain
tiff contend that the defendant had no
right to refuse to serve Bloom merely
because he wore the latest style OF
mems garments.
The manager of the restaurant. when
questioned regarding the refusal, said
that patrons wearing shirt waists would
only be served at tables adjoining the
main dining room. No person would
be permitted to enter the dining room
unless wearing a coat.

CARTHAGENA, Spain, Aug. 2l.-
While a dance was In progress in a
floating bath house here yesterday, the
flooring gave way and $50 persons,
mostly children. were precipitated into
the sea. Many of them were injured
