clared to Be Insolvent.

CHICAGO, Sept, IA bill was
filed in the superior court in this city
to-day asking that receiver be apr
pointed for property in Illinois Of the
A. McIlhenny Canning and Manufac-
turing Company, a $l0,0O0,00O corpor-
alton engaged in the manufacture Of
tobasco sauce and in the oyster trade.
The bill was brought by VIM. c. Tit
comb, former western manager of the
company. He charges that the com
pany is insolvent and that It owes him
$4,000 for salary and other accounts.
A restraining order is asked to pre-
vent the removal Of goods said to be

cording to Tittcomb consist Of oys-
ters and tobasco sauce in warehouses
valued at more than 100000. The
oysters, however, Tittcomb alleges,
are unfit for the market and are prac-
tically yalueless.
