Cleveland. O., Jane 14. The Baackes Wire Nail Company has made an assignment. The inability to raise money to meet maturing paper was the sole cause of the failure, for the liabilities of the company are only f225,CC0 and the assets reach $900,COOL The deed of assignment was riled in the Probate Court this morning in favor of Jonu Q. Kiddle, who is a stockholder of the company. The bond of tno assignee was fixed at SoO.000. and heat once took charge of the immense works of the corporation. The company is one of the largest manufacturers of wire nails In the United States, if not la the world, and it is backed by capitalists of Cleveland worth millions of dollars. Mr. Baackes. vice president and founder of the concern, is one of the pioneers in the wire nail business in the conn try. The causes leading up to the failure are Lest described in the language of Mr. C. H. Lock wood, the president of tbe company. lie said: "We simply got under coverto keep creditors from slaughtering us. We conia not get money and were afraid of slaughter with attachments. 1 simply told the creditors they conld not do it. and we made an assignment. We will pay everything. The assignment is not because of insolvency. We offered our creditors good paper that would be entirely acceptable. On ordinary occasions we would have paid with 2 per cent. oil. but the tightness in the money market caught us. The company could have gone on and paid all its debts this month, probably, but it meant a sacrifice to do it. I ottered these fellows the good they sold us, the company to pay the freight on them but they would not have it. All of the stockholders of the company ottered to sign paper individually, but I would not let them do it and be slaughtered. The principal creditor is Nailor & Co.. of New York and Philadelphia. It is really an English concern, and we have bought millions of dollars of steel from them and always paid them up. They refused to give us an extension on the money due and insisted upon the individual security of the stockholders. The Baackes company has a paidup capital of $512,000. and every man will get bis money. There is no doubt of this." FAIRMOUNT HANK CLOSED.

All we can do is to wait and try to make up some time in the morning. The following message testifies to the fact that tbo riders got away all riKhtfrom Springriela: Two bicycle relay rides were entered npon at this city at 0 o'clook this morning, mo objective poiuts are Madisou. Wis., aud Frankfort. Ky.. via lndirtuapulid. It is expected that Ala!iou. Wis., will Uo reached by Thursday noon, Indianapolis by mtdulght to-nUht aud Frankfort by -1 o'clock Thursday afternoon. The riders bear mcssaKes from Governor Alteld to tbe Governors of Wisconsin, Indiana aud Kentucky. The next message received was from Decatur, 111., seventy-eight miles out from Springfield, and shows that the men had been losing time. It was as follows: The interstate bicycle race kick'ed up big excitement in Decatur to-day. and fuliy hi teen hunared people were in Lincoln square when Governor Altgeld's package to Governor Matthews, of Indianapolis, Iud., wat brought in by John Northeu.tr. of tprinirtield. lie was to arrive at 12:10, butdid not get here until, l'J:o7.Ju8t forty-seveu minutes lost time between HpriiiKtleld aud Uecatur. Kraulc Uodd aud George I'ost took tho package here, reaching Long Creek three minutes ahead of time. The next rider to .Laplace trained one minute. The other two riders into Tuscola lost twentyfour minutes, arriving there at 4:26. The loss in time uetween feprluKfield and Tuneola. Mevnty -eight uiiie. was one hour and fitty-eiKht minutes. Foarty and Killen were the uamesof tbe men who iett Tuscola with the packet, and they had a hard road to travel, as the following dispatch from Dana, Iud.. will testily: Fo tarty and Killen left Tuscola at 4:26 and arrived at Curisiuan at 8:10. They touml no relay aud rode from there to Dana, arriving at 1U:1n. Tho distance was forty-four miles, and the men were well tired out. The packet went on from hern. From this point on all trace of the packet seems to have been losr, but whether it is due to the riders losing their wuy, taking the wrong road, or having met witu an accident is uot known. A dozen or so of the Ziirzag Club's fastest riders lounged around the clubhouse, lust nitfht. waiting fur news from tbo men who had preceded them. The riders were expected to have arrived in tbe city a little utter midnight, and the men who were to go on abeaa to take tbe messaue to the Kentucky capital were in a quandary as to what to do. .Nothing having been heard frtm the riders at midnight, most of the men nt the clubhouse pulled their beads down into their huge sweater shir;s, hauled out eouie oots from the attio and laid down lor a snooze until they should be called on for active work. Tho inessitue was to have been brought from Spray to Indianapolis, a distance of ten niileM, -by George Dickson and Frank Day. Spray is a Email wooden structure at the junction of cross-roads, and to tLis tbe men rode early in the evening, so as to be on hand in time to relieve tbe oncominic relay. They spent the night in tbe middle of the road looking for it. Just when the riders will reach this citv is uncertain. The schedule time between this point and Kockville, where uieu are in readiness to come on with tbe packet, is about live hours, bnt tbe men bad" not started from there at a late hour last night. The Indianapolis riders will then have nearly all of their riding to do by daylight, and it is a foregone conclusion that some of the time will be made up. The message was to have been taken to Myron King, tho Governor's private secretary, last night at his residence, and hesatuo until alter midnight waiting to receive it, but was disappointed, as were others.

Mott, of Wayne county, read a paper on Tbe Purpose of the County Institute and tbe Character of its Work." Variety iu tbo vork of tbe institutes be held to be the most progressive and advantageous.

C. W. Osborne, of L'niu conuty. was uot iu favor of admitting out aiders into thn institute discussion. John T.Morris, of Martin, favored persistence on the lino of work mapped out by the institutes.

Naber, ot Whitley couuty. on "The Evidences to Ltd Considered in Licensing Teachern." Tbo mere anility to pass an examination should not qualify teachers, and their inliuence over scholars and their faculty of exercising a good control should be considered. The afternoon session was devoted tm the reading circle work. V. H. Klston. tbo president of the State Heading Circle, niad a report, in which he showed that 135.000 children belonged to the Children's lieadintr Circle in the State, Mid that 11.000 teachers were in tho circle formed hy tho teachers.
