ECCLESTON ASSIGNS
Lumber Company in New York
With Wilmington Branch
Goes to The Wall.
MANY ATTACHMENTS SERVED
Conducted Cross-Tie ? Business Here,
But Was a New Jersey Corpora
tion Clarkton People Hit
Heavy Deed Filed.
The Eccleston Lumber Company,, a
New Jersey corporation doing busi
ness in this city and at 44 Broadway,
New York, of which J. B. Eccleston, of
Nsw York; is president and J. C. Stagg,
of ma clty is seCretary and general
filed a deed of assignment
here yesterday morning naming Ar-
thur Michell, of New York, as trustee
to wind up the affairs of the corpora
tion and secure a pro rata distribu
tion -of the assets among the creditors
of the company .without preferences...
The deed of assignment was filed at
11:40 A.-M. by Brooke G. Empte, Esq:,
local attorney, for the company and it
is stated that the liabilities of the
Wilmington branch of the concern are
between' $7,000 and $9,v00 while the
assets are not mona than half that
amount, consisting .of about 5,000 ties
and hoisting apparatus of the com
pany on its yards at foot of Churchj
street. It is not known how the con
dition of the company's affairs stand
in New York, where a duplicate as
signment was filed on -Tuesday; also
in New Jersey where the company has
an office in Hackensack. -The com
pany is merely a deader ln lumber,
poles and ties and operates-oo mills
but has been doing quite a iargfe busi
ness from this port' and up the Caro
lina Central railroad. Only last week
the company cleared, the schooner
Holliswbod with over 24,000 ties con
signed ta New Havnr Conn., and; the
vessel is still afloat bmt It is said that
pthe cargo cannot . now be counted
among the assets of the company In
asmuch as they were paid for by the
consignee .uopn the clearance of the
schooner:
yesterday ;mbrnJng""w
bya merry race between creditors of
the company and the attorney who fil
ed the paper, the creditors besieging
the sheriff's office with attachments
of the company's property in this city
before the assignment was recorded.
Some of these attachments, it is stated,
were filed simultaneously with the
filing of the assignment and the time
is carefully marked to the minute on
each paper. It is expected that in the
litigation to follow, these markings of
time will be quite important. The at
tachments of the property at foot of
Church street were all served at some
time during the day and the yards are
now in the hands of Sheriff Cowan.
Some of the attachments served
yesterday were as follows: The O. L.
Clark Company, of Clarkton, alleging
an indebtedness of $2,365.46 including
ties furnished and acceptances; J. C.
McKay & Co., of Clarkton, $222.20 for
materials and acceptances; Hester
Brothers, $303, ties and acceptances;
O. L. Clark and M. B. McAulay, trading
as the Clark MacAuley Co., $397.83,
and the United Lumber Company, by
process from Robeson Superior Court,
alleging an indebtedness of $1,207.50.
There are also numerous other local
claims for which no attachments were
filed. The United Lumber Company
?"ES2?te? 27 J!?S BJ'?f:
Dumberton. and the other creditors
who have attached, by Rountree &
Cany of this city. Process was also
issued to B. G. Empie, Esq., who is
alleged to have received a bill of sale
for certain ties a few days before the
failure.
Mr.' Stagg, general manager of the
company, was in New York at. the
time of the failure and did not reach
home until ; last-rnight After being
held for certain time the attachment
of the property will be disposed of Tyy
ga after due advertisement.
While the panic in the stock market
yesterday and the day before had no
bearing on the failure of the company,
it Is said that the stringency of the
money market North for th past sev
eral weeks had considerable to do
with it. The cessation of improve
ments by the railroads for the past
several months also had a tendeucy ,
to cut off orders for ti-s and to - de
press prices, all of which contribut
ed toward the undoing of the com
pany. Young Lawrence Rowan, the tin
ner who fell from the roof of a resi
dence near Second and Castle streets
last week, remains in, a critical con
dition in the hospital. Although he
passed a t comfortable night Tuesday,
there can" be said to be no decided im
provement in his1 general condition.

BOBBERS CAUGHT IN ACT
Blodhounds Sent to Trace Criminals
Who Attempted to Break in Store
of Mr.l Herbert Johnson Near
the City.
A telephone message at 10 o'clock
last night to Constable W. B. Savage
stated that two men had been, caught
in the act of breaking into the store
of Mr. J. Herbert Johnson, about four
miles from the city oh the Castle
Haynes road. The message asked that
Mr. Savage come at once with the
county bloodhounds, as an excellent
trail had been left. The two men who
attempted to get in the store were
fired upon and thev lost no time, in
scampering off to the woods, where
Mr. Johnson said the dogs would be
able to trail them easily as he had
kept their tracks about the store in
tact and the direction taken by the
would-be robbers was perfectly plain.
Constable Savage lost no time in ar
ranging to leave for the scene of the
attempted robbery and was fortunate
in securing the most rapid means . of
transportation over the turnpike, this
being a large automobile from the gar
age of" Messrs. Piatt & Co. Mr. Sav
age and Mr. John. Piatt left aboutvll
o'clock and were soon out to Mr.
Johnson's place, where t the dog was
placed on the trail. '
Constable Savage and Mr. Piatt re
turned to the city this morning at 2
o'clock, having been .unsuccessful in
their effort to round up the men. This
was a great disappointment, as they
felt certain that the dogs would take
the trail easily and run the would-be
robbers to cover, where they could be
captured.
The dog took the trail, from the store
all right and . ran it for a mile or more
up the road but. was unable to follow
it after that, the robbers having there
got on some conveyance or rode off
horseback.
The robers had all but succeeded
in getting in the store from a side en-
trance when some one in passing no
ticed them at work and slipped back
informing Mr. Johnson. He' armed
himself with a sljot gun , and reaching
the store he fire into jthjem, but is un
able to say whether or- not either of
them was wounded.. He .also doesn't
know whether the robbers were white
or colored.
EUG STEA MER ASHORE.
Crusader Hard and Fast in the
Har-
bor at Southport, N. C.
The big British tramp steamer Cru
sader of some 2,700 tons, inward bound
from Philadelphia to Messrs. Alexan-
'der Sprunt & Son for cargo of cotton,
io hard and fast ashore just below
Southport, efforts of all the harbor
tugs and steamers having thus far
proved ' ineffective to get vher afloat.
The big steamer, although light and"
drawing. but 13 feet of water, for some
unknown reason while proceeding un
der her own steam inside yesterday
morning went head on Into the "oys
ter rock" between Southport and Fort
Caswell on high water. The tug Sea
King, the Alexander Jones, the
Blanche and steamers Atlantic and
Wilmington pulled on the'-vessel yes
terday and again on high water last
night, but a telephone message from
Southport at 11 P. M. states that the
boats were unable to do anything to
ward getting her afloat and lighters
will be sent down this morning for the
purpose of taking off some 500 tons
of coal which she carries. Relieved
of this burden the tugs and steamers
hope to get theTig craft afloat

day reported having passed on the

SHOW PAR EXCELLENCE
Miss
Florence Davis and Mr. Elliott
Dexter Greatly Pleased.
Miss Florence Davis and Mr Elliott
Dexter in "A Question of Husbands
at the Academy of Music last evening
gave infinite pleasure to "an audience
which although large should have been
larger. The piece is a society comedy',
oo HyicrVit no a niow nonn v tho linos
qulck and clever Tne prodlUCtim is
well staged and elaborately costum
ed. As presented last night all the
possibilities of the play were brought
out and time and again the lines were
interrupted with the most "enthusiastic
applause.
It is a story of a young society
woman, overcome with the joy of life,
and the wife of a middle-aged but a
most Indulgent husband, who finds
most of nis pleasures about his home.
She wants to be on the go; he is con
tented with the quietude of his hearth
side. A cousin of the husband, an outlandish-
Frenchy little individual,
comes into the home and in time
they believe that they are madly in
love. Cyprienne, the wife, played by
Miss. Davis, makes up her mind that a
divorce affords the. only solution and
the indulgent husband, Mr. Dexter,
with a mind to reconciliation later, in-
idulges the whim and a false telegram
from the Frenchy little chap leads the
way. A make-believe divorce is grant
ed and the pp?tty Cyprienne is given
free to do asshe pleases. The hus
band makes bold to f eign-pleasure at
the contemplated divorce and betakes
himself to the pleasures of the world.
This arouses the jealousy of the wife
and when there is nothing prohibitive
the love for the third party Is consid
erably cooled, the reconciliation comes
through, devious ways and finally th-e
Lothario Is thrown out in disgust.
About this plot revolves- a clever,
catchy, bit of dialogue and repartee
that kept the house last night In an
uproar. -The show was exceptionally
good. -

Suspension of Knickerbocker Trust
Company Will Have No Effect on
Big Development at Blewett
Falls Local Interest.
Developments in the strenuous
times on the New York stock market
were again watched with Intense in
terest here yesterday and rumors were
flying thick and fast. However, for
local financial institutions there was
not the least aitxiety manifested, the
panic occurring just at a time when
local concerns are, best fitted to with
stand it and at a time when all South
ern banks are flushed with money in
handling the big cotton crop.
There are said to be no Wilmington
connections with the several trust
companies that have been involved
during the past day-or two,4he only
semblance of any dependence upon
any of them being a loan by the Knick

The suspension of ' Knickerbocker

a loan from Knickerbocker Trust Com
pany, but it is not payable by the un
derwriters for sixteen months, and is
amply secured. At date of maturity
of this loan all danger of panic will
