BROKERAGE HOUSES FAIL

Make Assignment for Creditors.

New York, Oct. 1.-two Nay
YORK brokerage houses failed TODAY
with liabilities aggregating nearly
S2,OOO,OOO. One is the stock OK
change firm of Charles Minzesheim
& Co., the other the firm of Thomas
q. Gaylord, who was engaged in
business under the name of Latham.
Alexander q Co., cotton and stock
brokers'. In each case an assign
ment for the benefit of creditors WAS
made. cambridge Colby, attorney
Tor the firm, was named as assignee
by the Minezsheim company.
with the announcement of the as
signment, creditors of Minzesheim &
CO., filed a petition in involuntary
bankruptcy against the concern and
EDWARD G. Benedict was named as a
receiver. The petition in bankruptcy
alleges that the liabilities exceed
Sl,OOO,OOO and consist chiefly of loans
from banks and trust companies. The
collateral secured by the obligations
is estimated to be worth 20 per cent
more than the claims
In a statement issued tonight Mr..
Colby estimated the liabilities at
S1,75O,OOO with assets of $1,25O,OOO.
He said, however that the embar-
rassment would be only Temporary
and predicted an early settlement
with all creditors on a satisfactory
basis. He denied a report that the
firm was heavily interested on the
short" side of the market and ex-
planned that the death on Nav 4 of
Clarence Minzesheim formerly head
OF the firm and son of it's founder.
resulted in weakening the companys
hnances and necessitated temporary
suspension for purposes of reorgan-
ization.
The Gaylord failure was not re-
garded in financial circles as of par
ticular significance as the business
was only moderately large, and he
had no exchange connections. No
statement regarding the , finances of
the firm was made.

FIVE IN FAMILY, ALL DRINK.
Pltiful Story as Told by The Faith
er Of The Family.

There are five of us in the fam
lily and all of us drink" is the state
ment made on Friday to an officer
OF the law in this city by the father
Oh the family-a man who lives i'll
the vicinity of the city, if not in the
limits. In making the statement the
iather aid not in the least seem
ashamed of himself or of the condi-
ton of his family.
This man has been brought IN
before the courts several times for
Illicit whiskey selling and is still
under suspicion for that offense.
The officer knew that the man had
several children, and happened to
hear that his wife was a hard drink
er, and seeing the man pass his Of
fice, he called him in and asked him
ABOUT the condition of his family.
the statement given above being the
drunk except his eldest child. a bow
questioning considerable was learn
cd OF the family and of its young
members who liked the taste of
Whiskey and had begun to cry for If
at an age when most children cry for
milk
The father stated that all in the
family liked whiskey and that all of
them drank it, whenever they could
get it. He said that it was hard to
get now, but that he was ALWAYS
ready to give it to the children if
ne mad It, He further stated that
he had not, to the best of his recol-
iectlon, seen any of the children
substance of his reply Upon further
NOT quite seven years old. He did
sot say how many times he had been
drunk. He and his wife both drank
considerable and sometimes got
uruhk. When asked if he was in
his right mind the man stated that
SO far as he knew he was, and that
he had never before been thouebt
crazy by any one. What his duty as
father was he did not know ex-
actly, but he tried to give his wife
and children what they wanted. and
II that thing was whiskey, he did
not object. Under these conditions
he did not know what kind of men
or women his three children would
make, but he was not quite sure
that they would become good citi-
Zens.
Such a condition of affairs was
almost shocking and astounding TO
the officer and will probably be SO to
the public, for it is not often that
father and mother rear children as
drunkards, willingly and knowingly.
case like this is something entirely
new for Sumter and while such a
state may have existed, it was not
brought to the attention of the pub
lie What will be the outcome of
present condition remains to be
SEEN but from present indications it
Is not probable that it will be one
OF which Sumter will be proud.

since organization has been one of
steady and continuous growth. It's af-
fairs have been directed with a high

all kinds of insurance and protection
that anyone might desire. One of it's
most popular policies is its class B,

CLAIMS G. N.
WAS VICTORIOUS
RIGHT OF WAY MAN SAYS THAT
ALTHOUGH THE G. N. TEcHNI-
cALLY LOST OUT IN CASES
THEY ARE PLEASED WITH THE
RESULTS.

"The decision of the jurors In the
recent condemnation cases that were
tried in the district court Of Cass
county between the Great Northern
railroad and different farmers of this
section, were great victories for the
Great Northern" said Col. D. J.. HILL,

of course on the face of it." said
the colonel, sit has the appearance of
a victory for the different property
owners, but such was not the case
In every condemnation case in such
proceedings the verdict must Of ne
.cessity be against the railroad. This
is easily accounted for, because the
property taken by the railroad Is Of
value, but whenever the amount
awarded the property owner is less
than the amount that was originally
offered by the railroad in settlement
then the victory is for the railroad.
In all but two of the cases tried at
the recent sitting of the district court
the verdict was for less than the
Great Northern had offered the parties
in the way of settlement and in the
two cases the verdict as given was
much less than the amount asked for
by the property owners and only a
very few hundreds of dollars more
than the Great Northern offered to
pay. 1t will be seen at once that
when the bare statement is made that
the verdict in such cases is against the
railroad, or the railroad lost its suit
it conveys. wrong impression. .
I'm these particular cases the Great
Northern is pleased with the results,
especially as in each instance the COM
pany's offer to those whose lands were
desired was considered to be most
liberal. We are getting along nicely
with the work and expect to close up
all along the line in the very near
future"
