HEATH & CO.'S FAILURE.

A Blgr New York Banklag and Broker's Firm Goes by the Board, NEW YOBK, N. Y.,

October 2.—There

"were rumors last evening that a prominent bouse was in financial difficulties and tbe stories took definite shape before the Opening of the board this morning. The statement that William Heath & Co., was likely to fail and that a meeting had been held between Mr. Gould and Mr. Cammack to consider the advisability of assisting him over his present difficulty. As Mr. Heath appeared in the stock exchange at the opening and no further developments were made, the general conclusion wa that the rumors were false, but shortly before midday, the announcarueat came from the rostrum of the stock Exchange that the firm of Wm Heath & Co. was unable to meet its obligations. The shock was not nearly as great as many had anticipated. The firm of Wm. Heath & Co. was composed of Wm. Heath, C. E. Quincy and Thomas E. Davis. Mr. Heath has been a prominent person on Wall street for about twenty years.

Mr. Henry N. Smith, about whom rumors of financial trouble have been afloat for some time past and who has been a very heavy bear operator at times for several years, says: "The failure of William Heath & Co. is mainly due to my operations in the stpck market. I supposed the firm was strong enough to carry me through and up to 10 o'clock this morning* I had no idea of their failure. I am now unfortunately placed whert I cannot pay what I owe for the present. I have been short of the market, believing the advance to be unwarranted. l|shall make an assignment."

The firm is represented in London by the third partner, Thomas E. lavis, and it is understood that the London house of William Heath & Co. is one of the leading American houses in that city. Mr. Heath and Mr. Qaincy are the representatives here. It is now believed that the failure of Soutter fe Co., on Wednesday, was due, at least in part, to the same cause which has brought about the suspension of Heath & Co.—the failure of Mr. Smith to put up the required margins. No shadow of suspicion that Heath & Co. wore not abundantly able to meet all their engagements has existed in Wall street, and tlie general impression has •been that It was among the strongest and most prosperous houses on the street. William Heath & Co. have just made an assignment to A. R. McCauless, the manager of their oflige, without preferences. It is stated at the office of the firm that contracts for .ffbout 100,000 shares of stock are outstanding on the exchange, principally the Vanderbilts, Lackawanna and the Grangers.

Mr. Henry N. Smith has made an assignment to Mr. Cuming, of the law firm ofVanderpool. Green & Cuming"with preferences for wages and salaries, amount not stated. Mr. Smith ha* been a member of the stock exchange since 1877. A prominent broker says: "The effect of the failure is likely to be a quiet market after to-day until the street discovers the extent of the losses., It is claimed that Henry Smith owes the firm of \Vn». Heath & Co. about $1,000,000 attd that the firm owes its customers about the same amount. The differences to Wall street houses are not likely to amount to over $100,000. Heath & Co.'s two seats in the stock exchange are good ior $50,000 so that Wall, street houses will lose very little by the failure. It is more likely to strengthen the hand of the bulls, as Smith's operations have often prevented the market from advancing. It is said that Smith is also responsible for the failure of Soutter & Co., having owed them about $250,000. It is the opinion of a number of people on the' street that Smrth's failure was brought about by Mr. Wm. H. Vanderbilt, no advanced the market in order to break Smith, as punishment for Smith's betrayal of Wm. R. Vanderbilt when they were operating together. It is estimated that Heath was short 90,000 to 100,000 share* of stock for Smith's account. All the settlements as far as Wall street are concerned will be completed before 3 o'clock this afternoon by buying in all the stock on which Heath & Co. were borrowing.

Alexander & Green, as Counsel for Giovanni P. Morosini, to day obtained from Judge Donohrfe, in the Supreme court, an attachment againtt the property A *f Wm. Heath. Mr. Morosini says in \lhe affidavit upon which the attachment /ras granted, that for several years past

Ihe has had $480,000 in cash on deposit with Heath A Co., subject to his draft, and that the only debit that could properly be made against that amount

WM for 2,380 shares of the capital stock of the Manhattan Railway company, of the value of $192,000, and twenty-five second mortgage bonds of the Metropolitan elevated Tail way companv of the value of $23,000, which he had ordered the firm to purchase for him, making an aggregate of $215,000. He claims the firm is in debt to him $265,000 in cash and that it also holds these stocks and bonds for "him. Mr. Morosini declares that he called at the office of Heath & Co. yesterday for his money and securities and received in reply that tlfe tliei

company could not deliver tlieni as the securities had been hypothicated or sold and the money hnd been otherwise disposed of. lie" avers that he never authorized Heath & Co. to make use of his money and securities and charges that they liare assigned and disposed of their property with intent to deUaud him and their creditors generally. Charles E. Quincy, one of the members of the firm,

Mr. I lorosini states, has been in Europe for several months past. He believes hi is not a resident of .this state but of some I Sitry in Europe, unknown to him and hv attached whatever property be may ^«tve in this state.

The Tribune to-morrow will say: 1 he principal creditor of William Heath A Co. is Giovanni P. Morosini, a partner in the well-known firm of W. E._ Connor Co., who became famous by his connection with Jay Gould. .Jr1®1™ against the firm is about §oo0,00U, for which he has no security of any kind. Among the °ther large creditors are Jay Gould $260,000, Jas. F. Low, formerly of the drv goods firm of Low, Harriman & Co., and father of the present head of the firm, $400,' 000 Addison Cammack $60,000 and Wm. L. Scott of Erie, $30,000. In addition to these the firm of So itter & Co., which failed on Tuesday to be creditor to tbe

amount of about $250,000'' in

Co., cannot

f'-^-

may exceed that sum. The assets ex cepting the claim against Henry N, Smith are not known. This Claim amounts it is said, to about $1,200^000 while the bulk o! his liabilities is to the brokerage firm. It is known that he owes C. I. Hudson & Co. something more than $100,000. He is also ,'ndebted to WoerishofFer & Co. for' ft still rger amount. It was estimated by good juO^es that Mr. Smith's liabilities would not fall below $2,000,000. His assets are supposed to be nominal,

Speak in oi the failure Mr. Smith said "Mj operations have dragged down Wm, Heath, and I am more sorry for him than myself. But I have not deceived him at any time and he has not deceived me. I supposed that he would be able to carry thfougb and he said that he could do it successfully. Even this morning he expressed his confidence in 'being able to pull through. There is nothing in the rumor about a joint acaccount between me and Woeiishoffer. We £did have a joint account in Heath's office, but it ceased early in August, I think. My misfortunes are my own, but I shall be on my feet again, and perhaps very soon."

Smith was the owner of the famous trotting mare Goldsmith Maid, whose death occurred about a week ago.

SHERMAN ON1 GRANT.

An Early Criticism and Condemnation of the Old Commanded. Special Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat.

WASHINGTON,

D. C., October 2.—The

less General Sherman has to say about any one else criticising General Grant's operations on the Mississippi the better, for the reason that Sherman himself was the very first man to question the wisdom of assisting General Grant to the' command in that quarter, and the first to predict serious and unfortunate results from it. The evidence of this is in the official correspondence between General Halleck and General Sherman when the latter was' notified that Grant would be assigned to-the command. On the 16th of July, 1862, an order was issued from Halleck's headquarters at Corinth assigning General Grant to the command of the district of west Tennessee, including the districts of Cairo and Mississippi, and all forces of the Army of the Mississippi. General Halleck at the same time wrote & confidential letter to General Sherman informing him that he would soon receive orders from General Grant to march to Memphis, and that he (Halleck) had been ordered to Washington that he did not want to go, but must obey orders. He Wrote: "I am more than satisfied with everything you have done. You have always had my respect, but recently you have won my highest admiration, I deeply reget to part with you."

General Sherman, having the notice of General Gfant's assignment before him, replied:

Moscow, July .16, 1862.—General Halleck-, Corinth I can not express my heartfelt jjain at hearing of your orders and tntejjaeU departure. Yoi shonld not bs Removed. I fear the conseqnencee. Instead of the calm, sure, steady progress which has dismayed oar enemy, I now fear alarms, hesitations and doubts. Yon can not be replaced on here, and it is too great a ri.k to hunt a new man from the east. With great lespect,

W. T. SHERMAN, Major General.

The omitted portions of this letter are fulsome flattery of Halleck. Taken together, the letter ill brief is this: "Grant won't do. A new man from the east won!t,do. Take.me. With Grant there will be alarms, hesitations and doubts."

This is the earliest recorded objection to General Grant's assignment to command on the Mississippi, and the earliest that it was possible for Sherman to- make. It will be noticed that it bevs date a year before the letter whichj&Pnow attacks so furiously, and whjgSw&B called out by the realization of some of General Sherman's fears.

STOLEN FROM A CHURCH."

How a Daring Young Mlssourlan Got Gertie Gannon for a Wlfe^The *0rooila Under Indictment for Attempt to Kill.

GLASGOW,

Mo., October 2.—Mr. Dab

Williams, the young man who was recently bound over here to the neit term of the Circuit court, to answer a charge of assault with intent to kill young Lee, is proving himself as persistent in love as he was dauntless' in war. He had been for some time very attentive to Miss Gertie Gannon, a step-daughter of 'S«iuire Rock, and the proposed inatch haB been opposed by the parents of both parties. Young Williams secured a license upon a false affidavit that the young lady was of age, so it is said, and threats of prosecution caused him to return it. The mother of the girl, however, notwithstanding its return, swore out a complaint against him, but withdrew it and paid the costs upon a threat of a suit for damages. A truce of a feW days gave the girl's parents time to prepare her for a boarding school, whither she was to start yesterday morn ing. She was permitted, however, to attend Good Hope church, between Salisbury and Kenlesville, on the Wabash road, the evening before^ and young Williams, securing a good t'eam of horses at Salisbury, went to the church, stole her from her parents and her escort and drove across a rough country twenty miles to Armstrong, on the Chicago & Alon road, Where he took the train bound for the Indian Territory. Nothing has since been heard from them.

PHALLAS' FAILURE.

He Loses Three Straight Heats to Harrx Wilkes at Cleveland. CLEVELAND,

O., October 2.—Harry

Wilkes defeated Phallas in three straight heats on the Glenville track to-day, winning the $2,000 purse and 90 per cent, of the gate receipts. The result was a genuine surprise to everyone and local sporting men dropped a goodly amount of cash on on the result. A more disagreeable day can hardly be imagined. After two weeks of sunshine and balmy weather to-day, was cold and stormy. The race was announced for 2 o'clock. At noon a cold chilling wind sprang up from the northeast. At o'clock it began to sprinkle slightly and hundreds of people who had intended to see the race gave up the notion and stayed at home. The feeling among the men who do not risk money in the pools was that Phallas would be an easy winner. It was 2:30 o'clock when Harry Wilkes passed the grandstand, with Frank Vanness in the sulky. There was a general clapping of hands and this was repeated a moment later when Phallas came dashing down the track with Ed Bithers holding the ribbons. Phallas did not seem in his best fo% l"he first time Bithers drove him under the wire he broke badly. He also seemed lame, although this was hardly perceptible ftt the start. Wilkes however seemed in perfect condition and, in all the practice work never left his feet. The track was in fair condition yhen they came out, but grew a little slippery under a steady fall of rain during the practice work and scoring. After four scores, in two of which Phallas broke before reaching the wire, the horses went away for their first trial. The pools were now selling Harry. Wilkes, $50 Phallas, $40. When the horses went away, they were neck and neck. Phallas had drawn the pole. Before the first furlong had been trotted Bithers tried to pass Wilkes. The increased pace was however, too fast for Phallas and he went up into the air. .He caught his feet quickly, but had lost a length and a half. Wilkes was not disturbed by the affairj and Wis trotting

NEWPORT,

in the

southern states, and especially on the gulf and Georgia coasts also, in northern Florida. Another area of great excess covers the lower Ohio valley, Missouri and eastern Kansas. The excess above normal was Galveston 19.8 inches, New Orleans 9.3 inches, Vicksburg 5.2 inches, Mobile 4.2 inches, Jacksonville, 12.4 inches, Savannah 6.8 inches, Atlanta 3.8 inches. Ordinarily five or six inches is the rainfall for this section of country. During the 4th and 5th of September at Galveston nearly eight inches of water fell, and from the 16th to 21st fifteen and one-half inches, being probably the most remarkable rainfall on record. In the middle Atlantic states, New England, in northern Wisconsin and Michigan deficiencies in rainfall are noted.

The view from the cliffs is a grand one. If Mrs. Ayer is not a successful bidder for the property, there is but little hope of her securing snch a place as she desires, for there is no other situation the clifb that would be sold.
