been the second largest brokerage
house in the world, took in $4,000
600, of which william X. Jones, a
partner. received s2,000,000 personally.
creditors asserted in objecting to a
composition offer of settlement before
Judge Henry w. Goddard.
Judge Goddard withheld action un-
til the merits of the bankrupts' offer
could be investigated and witnesses
called to testify in their behalf The
hearing was set for November &c.
The proposition for settlement pro-
vided that 5000 remaining creditors
should receive 80 per cent of their
claims in cash and the 40 per cent in
stock. 1t was said this would net the
creditors between 60 and 20 per cent,
since many of the stocks have de-
cpned in value since the crash.

Last Sunday we were called on to
bury the body Of Dolph Anglin OF
Ellamore, who died Friday night
He was son Of the late Rand Ang-
lin. And Monday we were called to
the burial of his mother who died at
her son-in- law Charley Fuckers on
Zebbs Creek, Barbour County. This
seems strange to see two Of the same
family die 20 close together. Mr..
Anglin died from the effects OF the
Flue, while his mother died from dis
ease incident to old age, she was "
years old while her son 35 years and
