OFFICE CLOSED
MUTUAL MERCANTILE CONCERN SUS-
PENDs IT'S OPERATIONS.
Manager Dougherty Got a Letter from
Headquarters-Had Been Run
ming Two Years.

The local office OF the Mutual Mercantile
Agency, Rooms SSl and S32 Stevenson build
ing. was closed yesterday. The suspension
Of business was due TO a letter received
from the main office in New York. Stimuli
taneously with the closing of the local Of
fee other branch offices, in Louisville. Chi
cago, Cincinnati and Pittsburg, were closed.
The indianapolis office had been open about
two years, and its manager was G.. w.
Dougherty.
Local Manager Dougherty received In
structions Monday night from the main Of
fees at New York, 1t is said. to discontinue
business. A force OF clerks was kept busy
until a late hour Monday night clearing up
the company'S business.
The reason given for the suspension OF
the firm by some who are said 10 De Wen
informed as TO its operations is that while
the company had good financial backing II
was unable to float Sl,WO,0W worth OF
bonds, which was said to be necessary to
operate the business. 1t was also said by
some persons acquainted with the firm that
the local office had been losing money
steadily since il was opened here two years
ago. The office here has changed manage
ment three times. These changes, II is
said, were due TO the fact that the local
managers were always obliged TO furnish
their personal capital for the running ex-
penses of the office.
Custodian Byfeld. of the Stevenson build
ing, where the office of the company has
been located for the past twenty months,
said that several times the company had
been dilatory in paying les rents. These
were eventually paid up, he said. From
another source it was learned that the
company was in arrears for three months
salaries due the clerks. From the same
source came the information that the local
manager furnished from his own resources
the money with which TO keep the en-
ployes. Rumor has ii that Manager Dough-

BIRMINGHAM. Ala, Aug. 2O.-Sheriff
North, of st. Clair county, is here this
morning, accompanied by ten deputies,
having in charge Jim Brown, colored, who
was indicted at Ashville, st. Clair county,
yesterday. by a special grand jury. for as

One negro, who fled, when called upon to

captured at Charleston, s. G., and brought
here for safe keeping. At the preliminary
trial his victim fully identified him. Gov
ernor Jelks then ordered a special term of
court. which began yesterday. When the
officers reached Ashville to-day with the
negro a large crowd met them, but there
was no indication OF violence. A still larg-
er crowd followed the sheriff's party TO the
Jail after Brown had been arraigned and
pleaded not guilty. The best citizens of the
count have assured the Governor that the

no little apprehension is felt. The sheriff
