throughout Ireland have laid down
their arms and given themselves up,
but until the situation has been en-
tirely brought under control there will
be no lessening of the activities of the
military, and martial law will be main

LARGE LIABILITIES
GriswOld & Macl0innon Have Made
Temporary Assignment-Liabil-
ities $257 900, Assets $19S,OOO.

A meeting of the creditors of Girls
wold & Mackinnon was held in the
Avenue House Wednesday. Repre-
sentatives of IL banks from Richford
to Plymouth. N. H.. besides a num-
Der of individual creditors. were on
hand and the meeting continued from
s11.30 in the morning until at night.
In statement given out by represent
atives, the direct liabilities of the de-
funct concern were given as $167, 900
and assets of $108,OOO were claimed.
In addition to the above Indebtedness,
there are indirect liabilities Of up
wards of 100000 Most of the latter
debts being represented by notes in
hand.
1t was decided at the meeting to
appoint Jonas H. Brooks and Harry
Blodgett as trustees to look after the
interests of the creditors and counsel
for Griswold & Mackinnon made ar
rangements to give these trustees a
deed of assignment. The business is
being continued under the manage
ment of Mr.. Brooks and Mr.. Blodgett
with the idea of either effecting an
adjustment whereby the firm of Girls
void IL Mackinnon may again assume
control of the affairs, or closing it out
for the benefit of the creditors. So
widely scattered were the debts among
the banks of Vermont and New
Hampshire, there being II in all, IL
is not likely that any one bank will
be seriousl yeffected but several in
dividuals will be heavy loosers by the
failure. About 40 carloads of grain
which were on the siding here await
ing delivery to Griswold & Mackinnon
will be taken care of by the trustees
and it is hoped that not only will
bankruptcy be avoided in this case.
but that the business may be read
justed, and that a continuance will
be possible.
