mediately after the holding Of the fu-

that the medical college paying the lar
gest sum of money for his body, to his
family, is to receive the corpse. The
latter rumor Is most emphatically denied
by the family and they expressed their
indignation upon learning of the rumor,
but they stated that they had decided to
heed the last request of the husband
and father and that the body would be
turned over to medical college as soon
after the funeral as possible.
A News-Democrat reporter made an
effort Saturday to learn the name of the
college that is to receive the body, but
this information was not obtainable, as
the family as well as friends acquainted
with the story refues to makes any
statement, more than related. 1t is
understood that some friends in this
city received the request from Marti.
with instructions to be careful to have
1t carried out.
Marti was a man of extraordinary
physique and very healthy. 1t would
be natural desire on the part of a
medical college to secure his body, pro-
viding the family consented to 1t.
The body was removed to local UNDER

1T OWES OVER $4,000
To Four Creditors Who Ask For
an Accounting.
H. j. JONES MADE RECEIVER
And His Bond Fixed at slOO,OOO-The
Factory Will be Closed Out and the
Assets Used to Pay of the Credi-
tors as Far as the Money
Will Go.

Another of Canton's prominent in
dustries has gone to the wall. The
Canton Pottery company operating the
old Belden pottery southeast Of the city,
is in the hands of receiver and the
business is to be closed up.
Thursday afternoon a petition, pre-
pared by Attorneys Harter and Krich-
baum, was presented to Judge McCarty
with affidavits and articles Of agree
ment all of which asked for the ap-
pointment of a receiver for the Canton
Pottery company. The plaintiffs in the
action were the George d. Harter bank,
the Isaac Harter & Sons bank, the First
National bank and Mrs. Elizabeth A.
Harter. They represent that during
the latter part of 1899 they had ad-
vanced on simple promissory notes to
the company $4,000 to run their busi-
ness and that the company was now
utterly unable to meet its obligations
and pay off any Of the claims as they
came due.
OF these notes Mrs. Harter has $10,-
900, the First National bank $1,000, the
Isaac Harter G. Sons bank $1,000 and
the George D. Harter bank $S,020.17.
Besides this the George D. Harter bank
has paid overdrafts for the company
of $4.127.37 which runs their account
up to over $4,000 and makes the total
amount of money due the petitioners
stand at over $4,000.
The petition says that the business
is running behind worse and worse
every day and that the longer the clos-
ing up Of affairs is put off the less
creditors will get. Part Of the direc-
tors and heavy stockholders live in
Pittsburg and the company is organ
ized under the laws of Pennsylvania.
1t Is hard to force the company into
an assignment therefore without much
delay and thus creditors have no relief
in that direction. The petition also re-
cites that the concern is insolvent and
cannot pay it's debts and for this and
other reasons the appointment of a
receiver was asked. The receiver was
wanted to take charge Of the assets
and convert everything to money at
once and pay all the creditors. The
petitioners did not ask to have their
claims preferred but wanted everybody
to come in on an equal footing.
Accompanying the petition was an
affidavit from Ferdinand Herbruck,
the president Of the company, and from
Louis A. Loichot, the vice president, in
which they declared the company was
insolvent and could not pay it's debts
and asked that a receiver be appointed.
There was an article Of agreement
signed by the largest creditors agree
ing to the appointment of H. r. Jones
as receiver.
The case was brought to Judge Nc
Carly and after hearing the matter
he appointed Mr.. Jones receiver and
ordered him to take charge Of the plant
and property and convert everything
to money and get ready to pay off the
creditors.
The bond Of the receiver was fixed al
100000. He has taken charge Of the
business and the shop will be shut
down and everything closed down

tions of this kind in this section and
