Meyers Dropped In; Paid His Board and Out Again.

Charles Meyers, who was the senior member of the merchant tailoring firm of Meyers & Secor, during its short career in Rensselaer, was in, Rensselaer a short time Thursday. He left here some time before Mr. Secor determined to close the store, and this was his first visit back. His home is at Goshen. Mr. Meyers said he dropped in on some business relating to the adjustment of the business, of which C. G. Spitler is the receiver. He was not here long before Marshal George Mustard had his eyes on him, and had arrested him for leaving Iwo unpaid board bills. One was on complaint of George Fate, to whon SB.OO was owing, and the other E. E. Powell, who had $4.50 coming. Meyers was greatly surprised, he said, because he thought Mr. Secor had paid all his bills as treasurer of the company. Poor Henry Secor claims that he was the goat for about everything. Meyers paid up and thus savedi himself from going to jail, the beatTng of a board bill being about the most serious thing a man can do in the way of failure to pay his debts.
