guaranteeing interest and principal when

Pessimistic View.
'In my opinion the creditors of Thomas
E. Waggaman will not receive fifteen cents
on the dollar at the outside" declared one
of the most prominent attorneys of the local
bar this afternoon. This conclusion l
reached after very careful investigation
of Mr.. Waggaman's affairs. into which
proceeded as far as was possible. A num-
Der of other lawyers connected with the
case, with whom | have conferred agree
with me. This affair is a most appalling
one, and the creditors should be made to
realize the true situation as soon as pos
sible. | am firmly convinced that the
value Mr.. Waggaman has placed on his
assets set forth in his schedule is some
thing like ten times what it ought to be-
The city hall is almost eucircled by the
offices of attorneys for Waggaman cred
itors. All of these lawyers who could be
found today spoke in the same strain as
did the individual quoted. AS they look into
the cases of their clients they say they
grow more and more astonished
Each lawyer seen today had many In
stances of interest to relate. AS the re-
suit Of the Waggaman failure, it was as
serted, at least one old woman already has
had to go to the almshouse, there to spend
the remainder of her days. A working
man, with a large family dependent on
him, is said to be at deaths door, through
worry and finally collapse, all of his small
savings having been placed in Mr.. Wagga-
mans hands. The situation, so far as a
large portion of the community is con-
cerned, seems to be truly tragic.

r. Waggaman. Although Mr.. Mcleod had
known of the existence of the note since the
publication of the Waggaman failure, he
said to the reporter that he had always con-
Sidered Ii a piece of business connected
with Waggaman's office only, not to be sub
ject to negotiation. This. he also said, he
believed to be the understanding of the
other clerks who. at the time of the making
of this note. We're employed by Waggaman

makers of like notes which were to be used
In the course of legitimate business trans

Effect on Insurance Companies.

Effect on Insurance Companies.
There has been considerable speculation
as 10 how seriously the Baltimore fire
would effect fire insurance companies
who write in this territory In conversa-
ton with Mr. II. r Johnston. of the
Johnston < Co. agency. he stated that
he did not think it would result disas-
trously 10 any companies. except possibly
some of the companies whose home of
fees are in Baltimore. It IS known that
some Of these companies were very heavy
writer's i'm their home city, and they may
not be able to weather the storm.
MIR. Johnston represents nine companies
and ne has heard from them advising
that their adjusters are on the ground
and all losses will be paid in cash with
out discount. The losses of the companies
IN the Johnston agency aggregate Ss95. 900
The assets of the above companies are
almost nineteen million collars and their
net surplus above liability and capital
IS over five and one-half million dollars.
