Judge Mcconnell Assigns.

Hon. T. NJ. Mcconnell, chancellor of
the Chattanooga chapcery division, has
registered a deed of trust to secure his
creditors, naming J. b. Ragon, recently
clerk and master, as trustee. Liabili-
ties aggregate 100000 and assets can
hardly be estimated. The deed covers
all the property owned by the chan
cellor, and if put to forced sale it would
not bring more than two-thirds of his
debt. The trustee is given two years
in which to wind up the trust and pay
off debts. Chancellor Mcconnell was
at one time one of the wealthiest citi-
zens of Chattanooga. His assignment
is due to failure to realize on invest
ments and accommodations of the in
terest account during dull periods since
