Brown. The presence of the sheriff
was the first inkling many people bad
that there was something wrong, and
it soon leaked out that an assignment
had been made. The news spread rap
idly. and soon the streets were filled
with people eager to learn the extent
of the calamity that had befallen the

Other Concerns Amiga.
The assignment of ex-Secretary
Foster was the signal for the assign
ment of a nuiubor of concerns in which
he was interested. The Brass and Iron
works was one ot the concerns to
assign. Besides Mr. Foster. Mr. Ports
was one of the owners of this concern.
The liabilities and assets of this com
pany are included with the personal
statement of the secretary. The Mam
bourg, Calcined and Crocker Window
Glass companies, three concerns
that have ^een backed by Mr.
Foster, will assign. The extent
of the failure is so great
that its significance can searcely be
realized. A half dozen of the promi
nent industries will go to the wall and
hundreds of people be thrown out of
employment. The loss to business
men who were depositors in Foster &
Oo.'s bank is one of the deplorable feat
ures of the crash, but it is confidently
believed that none of them will suffer
to an extent that will cause them to as
sign. A run was made on the Me
chanic Savings bank as soon as its doors
were opened, but with |8u,000 in cur
rency piled upon the cashier's desk the
demands of all frightened depositors
were promptly met and none turned
away. The loss to Fostoria is a great
one and one that will require consider
able time to recover from, but great as
it is, the regret on its Account in no
Way lessens the regret on Mr. Foster's
Account.

FOSTORIA, O., May 27.—Ex-Secretary
of the Treasury Charles W. Foster has
sis?tied the business world by making
an assignment of hiB vast business in
terests for the benefit of his creditors.
His assignee is J. B. Gormlee, a prom
inent banker of ftacyrns, and a warm
friend of Mr. Foster. The liabilities
are given oat by Mr. Foster as being
|8u0,000. and the assets about the same.
He made the assignment during the
night, and the papers were filed at
Tiffin by Mr. Scolt, his attorney. At
an early hour the bank of Foster A Co.
was closed on an attachment for $3,900
in favor of the Isaac Harter Milling
company, and at the same time the
wholesale grocery house of Davis &
Foster was closed by an attach
ment for $1,200, in favor of O. T.

The deposits of the bank at the time
of its last statement were about (175,•

what they are at the present, time, as
the cashier of the company, Mr. J. E.
Wilkison. is reticent and prefers to have
the assignee make a public statement.

LINCOLN", Neb., ay 'J7. —The supreme
courtji&s adjourned to meet on Monday
afternoon. No decision in the impeach
ment cases was bunded down, but it is
said by those on the inside that the tip
has been given that an acquittal of the
defendants has been agreed upon and
that ex-Treasurer Hill's and ex-Auditor
Benton's plea to the jurisdiction of the
court is sustained.
It is understood that the judges ars
not at all pleased with certain para
graphs of Attorney Lambertson's clos
ing argument on behalf of the state. In
his dosing peroration Mr. Lambertson
spoke of the possible judgment of the
court and said: "If the court decrees
that the respondents be restored to
their offices and commended by the
court as good and faithful public serv
ants, then will the court pronounce for
the first time, as a tribunal of
impeachment. a judgment that
will not only produce a profound
sensation, but one that will
seriously impair the respect and vener
ation in which it is held, and lessen
that high sense of public duty in ofS
certs which is at once the safety and
protection of the state."
One of the judges is
credited
with
saying that the language of Lambertson
was uutrngeous, and a direct insult to
the members yf the uench.

Evening-The Matter
of
CHICAGO, May 26.—The world's fair
will be open next Sunday. At least that
ia what Commissioner Hundluy of the
Judiciary committee's national commis
sion said, and as he is one of the three
members of the committee who opposed
Sundny opening, his admission has no
doubt pome force. Commissioner Hund
ley made the sta eraent after conferring
With United ti:ates Attorney Milchrist
concerning the injunction which the
government will prav for to restrain
the dirertft'rt-. fiom opening the exposi
tion gates ov Sunday.
'After con-idering the matter, we
have decided that the bill for an in
junction cannot be filed in time to close
the next Snnday." said Mr. Hundley,
"It is such an extensive affair^ that no
lawyer on earth could prepare the pe
tition within 24 hours. Therefore, as
the biil catnnot be tiled in time, we shall
wait nntil next week. Yes, that means
thnt the gates will b3 open next Sun
day. It will do no harm just for one
Sunday. After all, when the bill is
ready, I very much doubt if a court can
be found having the proper jurisdiction
in the matter. It will be an extraor
dinarily delicate matter.1*

Notwithstanding the shadow of an in

the Intention of the officials to makg
Sunday night a fete occasion^ L»fPector
Of Works Burnhamj filter learning that
the nationnl P6Lmnfision had defeated
an effort tnnde to reconsider the action
in the Sunday opening matter, issued
the following order:
"The world's fair" will be open
to the public Snnday next, May 18,
until 11 p. m., the buildings closing at
10 p. m.
At present it is the intention to shut
down all the machinery not absolutely
required for the opeiation of the expo
sition plant. It has not been yet de
cided whether or not religious services
will be held in Festival and Music halls
as had been proposed at one time.
President Higinbotham does not be
lieve in crossing bridges before they are
reached, neither does Mr. Burnham,
but several of the exposition officials
are. in spite of Mr. Burnham's an
nouncement. not so sure thnt the gates
will be open. It is expected in some
quartern tbiii persons opposed to Sun
li opening will now resort to the
courts ami seek to close the world's
lair gates with an injunction if that
government Buouid be dissolved.
Superintendent Tucker oi: the depart

is an enthusiastic Sunday opener, has
made preparations to admit a big
crowd.
Troublesome For Thatcheiy
These ate troublesome days for
Boyd Thatcher of New York, chairman
of the exec live committee of awards
of the commission. The protest against
the one juuge system of awarding the
bronze medals and diplomas continue to
be received by the director general.
The American exhibitors in Manufac
tures building have added their protest
to that of the foreign commissioners as
a preliminary step, it is understood, to
withdrawing their displays from exam
ination for award. While the present
number of those who have formally
protested is small in comparison with
the total number of 52.000 exhibitors,
the sentiment in opposition to the non
competitive plan oi the commission ia
growing. If the rebellion keeps on
spreadiug the expert judges will find
few exhibits to examine, and the jury
of awards will tiave 84,000 medals and
a lot ot pretty diplomas on its
Suffering For Kxrorttou.
The concessionaires who have res
taurants on the Midway Plaisance ars
now suffering for the exorbitant prices
demanded by the concerns which op
erated the only eating places in the fair
grounds proper at the beginning of the
exposition. Every other concession on
the Plaisance has a restaurant
attached and the visitors have
been in the habit of bring
ing their lunches into the
places andj5artaking of them in sight of
concessionaires, even to spreading their
refreshments on the restaurant tables.
This was too aggravating to suit the
concessionaires, and the order has been
given not to admit visitors who come
with well filled lunch baskets. If these
oeoDle want to see. the metropolitan
