FAILUKE OF A MEBCIIANT

Andrew Dickson, Proprietor of the Trade Palace, Hakes an Assignment. The Court Places Charles JTajruire in Charge of the StoreTrial of tha Transfer Car N'nisanc8 CaseCourt Items. For several mouths it has been known in financial circles that Andrew Dickson, proprietor of tho Trade Palace dry goods store, at Nos. 26 and 23 West Washington street, was financially embarrassed, and it was therefore not a surprise when he made an assignment yesterday morning for the tenant of his creditors. In buying goods for the fall trade last year he overstocked his store, and in consequence, when his bills fell doe to H. B. Clafiin & Co., of New York, of whom all bis purchases were made, he could not meet them, and in order to bridge over his pending failure he executed to the firm on Dee. 20 two mortgages to cover an indebtedness to iem, aggregating $16,320.20, of which $4,000 was money the firm advanced hint in order that he might continue in business. With no other pressing debts, Mr. Dickson hoped to come out all right. It was arranged that he should pay oft the mortgages in small installments through Messrs. Morris. Newberger & Curtis. About the same time the mortgage was given to Clafiin & Co., Mr. Dickeon executed to his wife, Josephine M. A. Dickson, two notes, one for $21,000 and another for $12,320.20, both payable ninety days after date. The notes were executed to secure to her sums of money aggreeating that amount that he had borrowed at various times since he embarked in business. Business continued bad after those steps had been taken, and Mr. Dickson found it impossible to meet the payments on the Clafiin & Co. morteaee. Since that time he has paid something like $1,600, and ' oa Monday night, after the adjournment of comt, Messrs. Morris, Newbereer & Curtis, acting upon the advice of Clafflin & Co., made application to Judge Walker for tho appointment of a receiver for Mr. Dickson. The matter rented until yesterday morning, when Judge Walker referred the application to Judge Howe, who, acting for Walker, took op the case, and with the consent of both the plaintiffs and Mr. Dickson, appointed Charles Maguire receiver. However, shortly before the matter came up beforo Judge Howe, J. M. Winter, attorney for Mr. Dickson, filed in the recorder's office an assignment, naming Mr. Maguire as assignee. According to the assignment Mr. Dickson transfers ail his property, of whatever description, to Mr. Maguire, to bo disposed of for the benefit of his creditors. It includes the Trade Palaee store and his home on North Meridian street Mr. Maguire qualified as receiver. as well as assignee, and - gave bond in the torn of $25,000, with D. P. Erwin and Nathan Morris as sureties. He is proprietor of the Granger store, on West Washington street, and is well qualified to settle up the business intrusted to him. Mr. Dickson's liabilities are plaeed at $60,000, and his assets will reach $70,000 and perhaps moro, and it is thought there can be no possible loss to creditors. The store bas been closed for the present, but it will probably be re-opened under the instructions of the court, for the benefit of the creditors. William Mansur, and others who own the bloek in which the store is located, have brought suit in the Superior Court to have Mr. Dickson's lease forfeited. It dates from July, 1886, and runs three years, and stipulates that the lessee shall pay $-3,00-3 per annum. It is alleged that the rent for February was not paid. Mr. Dickson has conducted the Trade Palace store for tho past eight years. Prior to that time he owned a store in Milwaukee, and before that he was connected with th New York store, the firm then being Pettis, Dickson & Co. He says that bis financial troutae dates back two years, when he indorsed for a friend and was compelled to make good the entire amount. The loss crippled him so that he wss not able to gain his feet again. The Transfer-Car Nuisance Case. The suit of James M. Bradshaw against the Street-railway Company, to have the transfercar declared a nuisance, and for damages, is being heard by Judee Howe. Mr. Bradshaw, as one of the heaviest property-holders in the neighborhood of the car, charges that his property is depreciated in value by the presence of the ear, and that he is unable to get the rent for his store-rooms he would if tho ear was away. Nearly all the men engaged in business on Washington street, between Illinois and Meridian, were called as witnesses, and with but few exceptions, they pronounced the car a nuisance. Among those who appeared for the defense and regarded the car as an advantage to the business of the street were Mr. Newgarten, the .milliner, and Mr. Reaume, dealer in furnishing goods. Mr. Newgarten said that before tho car was placed there his store was frequently crowded with persons waiting for a car, and he found the crowd very annoying. Tho evidence was nearly all heard, and the case will be concluded this morning. Bjr Judgment for Damages Affirmed. The long pending litigation between George R. Barnhart and the I., B. & W. and the White River railroad' companies was finally settled yesterday by the Supreme Court affirming the judgment of Mr. Barnhart against the roads for $8,000. Eight years agoj Mr. Barnhart, who is a locomotive engineer, was injured in a wreck near Kingan's pork-house. Ho was running a C, I. St. Li. & CL switch-engine at the time the accident occurred. While switching some cars near Kingan's pork-house, an I., B. & W. "cut" on the White Kiver road ran into his engine, and he received injuries from which ho yet suf fers. After two trials in the Superior Court be was given judement for $8,000. which is now affirmed. It is one of the largest judgments for personal damages ever obtained in the Marion county courts. His Partner Deserted II im. John T. Dickson, the theatrical manager, has instituted suit against James W. Morrissey for $2,500 alleged to be due on a contract. Some time ago Mr. Dickson and Mr. Morrissey entered into a partnership under the firm name of Dickson & Morriaaey's Romany Kyo Company. Each paid in $2,500. Mr. Dickson charges that soon after the partnership was formed Mr. Morrissey sold his interest in the company to a stranger; that at that time the company had a large number of engagements which it was compelled to earry out, and that they were met at a loss of $5,000, which ho had to make irood. He alleges that under the agreement by which the company was formed Mr. Morrissey is legally responsible for bis half of the loss, aadjtnerefore asks for the amount named. Arrest of Indicted Persons. Deputy Sheriff Lacgenberg in very busy hunting up persons who have gone wrong, and were indicted by the last grand jury. Henry Van Bentbuysen was arrested, yesterday, on a warrant ebarging him with stealing several sacks of flour from tho feed store of Braden & Co. He was arrested by the police on the same charge, several weeks aeo, bat was discharged by the Mayor because there was not sufficient evidence against him. He atill protests that ho is innocent. Ed Denny, fifteen yearn of age, was arrested for robbing the residence of W. C. Smith, at Irvineton, three weeks ago, and Conrad Wald, Mat Ebner, Fred Wills and Fred Mangold, saloon-keepers, indicted for soiling liquor on Sunday, were placed under bond for their appearance before the Criminal Court. Demanding Pay for a Fast Horse. Dr. John T. Burford has brought suit against the Street-railway Company for $1,500 damages for the alleged responsibility for the killing of his fine mare, "Little May." a no nth ago. The horse ran away on Mississippi street, and broKe one of its legs, which made it necessary to ahoot tho animal. Dr. Burford ehareea that the Street-railway Company is responsible for the runaway. He says that the horse was frightened by a street car that was being turned at the corner or Mississippi ana rantn streets, ana although the driver of tho car saw that the horse was going to run ho did not stop turning the eajv Tho horse was one of the fastest in the city, having a record of 2:21.

Clark Civil Township, of Montgomery county, va Drake Brookshire. Montgomery G. C Affirmed. Zollars, J. Complaint by a road superintendent to recover the value of services rendered. Sections 5069 and 5071, Revised Statutes, provide that the superintendent shall in the months of April. May and June of each year first put all highways in good, ordinary repair, and then with sneh other means as . may be in his bands proceed to do work denominated "extraordinary'' upon some portions of the highway which are mostly traveled, by ditehing, erading, building, etc.. as may seem prndsnt to him. The complaint avers substantially that the money was expended' in repairing and improving the highways by ditching, grading, graveling and constructing culverts, and that such repairs were necessary and valuable. This was sufficient as against an objection that the complaint did not show that the money was expended for ordinary repairs. The difference between work upon highways, spoken of as ordinary and extraordinary, is more in degree than in character. The provision that the work shall be done in April. May and June is directory. Appellee may recover money advanced by him in repairs on the roads. 2. When the witnesses were acquainted with the highway, its condition before it was improved, the lay of the land over which it passes, the character of the soil, the amount of water necessary to be drained away from the highwayf and experienced in improving and maintaining highways, they may testify as to the character of the culverts, fills and the amount of gravel necessary to render the highways passable and in good ordinary repair. 13197.

Church last night called upon their pastor. Rev. A. W. Lamport, at his bomo on the corner of Broadway and Seventh street. It was in the nature of a surprise, and the company filled tho commodious house and yard, flowing over into the adjacent streets. Between two hundred and three hundred naid their respects to their esteemed pastor and friend and bis wife. Rev. Dr. Lynch, on behalf of the church, presented Mr. and Mrs. Lamport with a substantial expression of regard, wrought out in solid silver, and also an elaborate "crazy" quilt, on which were embroidered 576 names of the church members and friends. Tho venerable Doctor, who welcomed him to tho eity, was very felicitous in his remarks, which were feelingly responded to by Mr. Lamport, both for himself and wife. It is expected that Mr. Lamport will sever his relations with Central-avenue this month, going to Richmond, in this State, returning to a charge he formerly served, and to the conference whence ho was transferred to Indianapolis. His work in this city has been abundant and successful. As preacher and pastor he has not been excelled, and he leaves Central-avenue with the sincere regret of all the people.

AT OUTS WITH HERMANAGER John W. 3IcKinny Files a Suit Against Clara Morris and Her Husband. He Demands 5 Per Cent, of the Net Receipts' of the Last Season's Performances by tha Great Actress. For the present theatrical season John W. McKinney says he was engaged by Fred C Herriott to serve as advance agent and manager for his wifa, Clara Morris. While there was no written contract to that effect, McKinuey states that be was to receive $100 per week salary, and 5 pv cent, of the not proceeds. Dr. Harriott paid the salary promptly, but when called upon to settle for MeKinney's alleged share in tha proceeds of the season, denied that his agent had any legal claim thereto. This seems to have been a cause of contention between the agent and his employer, which was manifested in frequent disputes wherein anger had as much part as argument. Dr. Herriott said to MeKinney's attorney yesterday morning, "that man has abused me vilely." He referred especially to the dispute the two men recently had in the Palmer House at Chicago, which resulted in Dr. Herriott discharsring MeKinney on the spot. The old difference as to the share in the net proceeds led to tho wrangle, but the desire of Miss Morris to cancel her Indianapolis engagement accelerated the wrath between the two men. McKinney insisted that it should be filled, and Dr. Harriott asserted that Miss Morris, being in bad health, could not afford to undergo the risk in coming here for a two nights' engagement since the next engagement, in New York, was for a period of several weeks. He stated that it was better for her to lose the two nights than to fail in opening in New York at the date fixed, which might be the case if she was forced to como hero, the trip and labor being likely to make ber condition worse. MaKinney claimed that he had at the beginning of the season made a contract with tho Dicksons for Miss Morris to appear at the Grand Opera-house, March 19 and 20, and if she did not he would take measures to force the fulfillment of the contract. : In consequence of this, be telegraphed to Oeoree A. Dickson the refusal of Miss Morris to eome to Indianopolis. Mr. Dickson went to Chicago and there insisted upon tha terms of the contract being carried out. Dr. Herriott, it is said, urtred the sickness of Miss Morris and her inability to play any longer on her Western tour. Mr. Dickson thought that if the lady was able to continue her engagement in Chicago she could at least play two niehts in Indianapolis. As his ultimatum he said a failure to come here would lead to a suit for damages, and although Dr. Herriott told a friend, yesterday, that he would rather lose, $5,000 than to have Miss Morris play the Indianapolis engagement while her health was so poor, be and his wife finally agreed to come to the Grand Opera-house. The interest that McKinney took in having the contract fulfilled, hastened the climax, it is said, between him and Dr. Herriott. MeKinney's discharge closed bis connection with tho company at Chicago, but Dr. Herriott afterwards agreed to retain him until the Indianapolis engagement had been played. Here the agent renewed bis elaim for the 5 per cent, share in the net proceeds of the season, which was, as usual, refused. He then sought the advice of Attorneys Hawkins & Norton, who, Monday evening, addressed a note to Dr. Herriott, stating that an amicable settle ment could be reached, but if he declined suit would be brought at once. The Doctor replied that Mr. McKinney had been paid bio salary in fnlL Yesterday Judge Norton called on the Doctor in behalf of his elient and renewed bis offer for settlement without litigation. Dr. Herriott again declined to consider the matter otherwise than expressed in his note of the evening before. In the afternoon Mr. McKinney filed bis suit in the Superior Court against the Doctor and bis wife, aaking judgment for $500 for services rendered. In this amount -? he claims $100 for his next week s salary, he asserting that his engagement will not terminate until the beginning of the New York season. He has no means of stating definitely the sum upon whieh he should be allowed percentage, but believes from the best information be could obtain that the season has thus far netted $10,000. Summons was at onee issued in the suit citiug Dr. Herriott and his , wife to appear in the Superior Court April 2. A writ of garnishment was also served upon George A- Dickson for the money be is supposed to hare in his hands dne tho Herriotts. Dr. Herriott gave bond with Judee Martindale as surety, to relieve the receipts of last night and whatever money due him Mr. Dickson might have from the effects of the attachment. The Doctor did not desire to make any statement of his difficulty with Mr. McKinney, except to deny tho claim. Miss Morris was confined to her bed, it is said, yesterday afternoon, there being no improvement in her health since she was in Chicago. THREATENING TO SUE THE CXTI. The Broad Ripple Company Complains that It Has Eeen Caused Unnecessary Expense. In the Common Council, night before last, City Civil Engineer Shearer stated that the provision in the ordinance regulating such work requiring the laying of natural-gas pipes three feet below the surface had received the indorsement of all the companies concerned. "The Broad Ripple company, so far as 1 know," J. M. Westcott said last evening, "was unaware of the change of the requirement from four to three feet We have been laying all our pipe four feet below the surface, and there bare been instances where the depth was short that measurement by only one inch that the engineer's inspectors compelled us to take up the pipe and dig the trench deeper. It was understood that tho required depth was to be four feet whenever an ordinance providing for it should be passed. We acted in accordance with that, and making the depth three feet has subjected us to a great deal of unnecessary expense. Another tbing of which we complain relates to fire bends in pipe used to go around permanent obstructions, such as cisterns, sewers, and the like. At Hall place we made one of those bends. The ongin eer's inspectors saw the work done, made no objection, and allowed ns to lay the pipe, but the engineer ordered us to take it up. This entailed another unnecessary expense of $500. We think we bare a eood elaim against tho city on this account. If it is not paid it is our purpose to seek relief in tho courts." 'Is the Indianapolis Natural-gas Company obstructing your workl" was asked. "When we accepted the ordinance, gave bond and filed with the engineer a plan of our system of pipes, our intention was to confine tho company's operations to the west and southwest part of the city, with the alley between Illinois and Meridian street as the Eastern boundary. All of the city beyond we were willing to leave to tha other two companies. When the Indianapolis company got ready to lay its pipe it ran parallel on Meridian street with our Illinois-street line, as far at. Tenth street It then passed into the alley between those two streets where we were laying pipe. Yesterday we bad gone about 2,000 feet south with our treneb, but this mornine the Indianapolis company began digging a half square below, also moving south. It's line is a little to one aide of our stakes and m throwing out the dirt it covers them, so that when we get down that far it will be necessary for us to move this obstruction. We notified the city engineer, and he ordered tho Indianapolis company to cease working there, but at 5 o'clock last evening it was still at it." "Has your company increased its resources recently'' "We have twelve wells, but the supply used comes from only three. However, wo are prepared to tuna on tho flow of others, which will be necessary, as our business is increasing, and that, too, without sending - out soiioitors. We made connections with the glue factory yesterday, and to-morrow we exteot to supply tho coffin-works. Our company has contracted for ten additional wells, and before the cold weather sets in again the Broad Ripple will have the second trunk laid down to the city. Our policy is to mind our business and to let that of other companies severely alone. We have no farors to ask and will demand only what is accorded to othef companies. As to making money, wo aro in a much better poaition tban either the Trust or tho Indianapolis company. Our plant has cost only one-fourth as much money as that ef either eompany, and our expenses are considerably less. We have so high-salsried officials, and try to observe the old adage, 'iive and let live.' Discussions by IJoeters. At a meeting of the Marion .
