C. E. LANING
MAKES ASSIGNMENT.
The Well known FOumdryman
Assigns.

Assignment papers were yesterday
filed in the County Clerks Office,
Charles e. Laning, the well known
iron founder, making an assignment
for the benefit of his creditors. The
assignees are Councilman Isaac L.
Nichols and John Wolfe, who for
years has been foreman of the foun-
dry.
1t is not quite certain how heavily
Mr.. Laning is involved and there are
hopes that the settlement will result
in giving all creditors dollars for
dollar.
The principal cause of the assign
ment was the advance in the price of
raw materials. Mr/Laning had made
many contracts, basing figures upon
prevailing prices, and the rapid in
crease of raw materials made the
contracts losing ventures.
For years Laning's iron foundry
has been a busy place, furnishing
much work for skilled labor, and good
wages were paid. The foundry
turned out all sorts of castings, and
did much of the work for the Ferra-
cute Machine Company. The busi-
ness of iron fencing was also large
part of the trade.
Mr.. Laning is a most eseimable
citizen and regret will be general and
sincere, and the hope will prevail
with the community that he will be
able to survive his present business
troubles and resume his business
career most successfully.

New Move nv Glass Trust.

Wilmington, DEL, July 23.-Em-
ployes of the Christiana Glass Com
pany are concerned at the statement
of President Simon Burns, of the
Glass Blowers Union, that he will
not grant union scale to factories
not connected with the Trust. The
Christiana Company is not connect
ed with the Trust. and employs only
union men, and they are large share
holders in the company. The glass
blowers think the refusal of a scale
isan attempt by the Trust to cru uSh
the independent factories.

The Real WAY.

The question the retail advertiser
has to solve is how to get his store
and goods before the public in the
most effective manner. Within his
territory are certain number of
possible customers and he must get
portion Of them to come to his
store or cease to do business. There
is hardly family that does not read
the local newspaper. Ii the mer-
chant tells the story about his store,
the goods in it, and the prices on the
goods, in such a paper in an effective
manner he is certain of large and
appreciative audience.
People are learning more and more
every year to look for and expect live
store news in their live, local news
paper. and if the merchant has any
thing to say they expect to have
him say it there. Circulars are not
so good. They are more expensive,
because after they are printed addi-
tional expense must be incurred for
distributing them, and not one in
fiye-maybe fffty--is ever looked at.
On the other hand a generous space
in the newspaper costs less than cir
culars, and the publisher not only
prints the advertisement but guar
antees to place it right in the hands
of every one of his readers without
any additional cost.

What the British Troops Are Doing at
Various Places.
LONDON, Jan. ia dispatch from
Sterkstrom, dated January Is, reports
Gatacre's troops made n demonstra-
ton beyond Molteno, in the direction
of Stormberg, in the belief that the
Boers intended to seize Molteno. The
Burghers were not sighted and the
British remained at Molteno. The ar
rivals from the Stormbcrg estimate
that there are $500 Beers at that place,
mostly revolted colonists and Free
Staters. President Steyn's brother Is
the land drost. French continues TO
shell the Boer positions, but nothing
decisive has taken place. Evidence ae-
cumulates that Methuen's blunder at
Magersfontein lost him the confidence
OF his entire force to such an extent
that it is dec AIRED that it is doubtful
IL the troops would follow him in
another attack on the Beers. The
war Office is understood TO be in pos
session of a letter written by General
Wauehope, the night before the bat
tie, saying it would be the last letter
he would write. as he had been asked
to perform an impossible task and he
had either to obey or surrender his
sword. The immediate change in
command of force may therefore be ex-
pected. 1t is anticipated in some
quartersSSths& Lieut. Gen. Tucker will
succeed Methuen.
