BANKRUPTCIES

165 L Feb. 21; ed: 2/1,2 The new bankruptcy bill introduced into the House of Representatives by the Hon. Roscoe Conkling of New York is very voluminous, occupying 48 pages of printed matter. The provisions of the act apply to all corporations and joint stock companies other than railroad companies. Any person contemplating bankruptcy, or against whose estate proceedings in bankruptcy have already begun, who shall be proven guilty of any transactions of a fraudelent nature, shall, upon conviction be subject to imprisonment not exceeding three years. The act provides that official assignees and commissioners shall be appointed on and after the first of July next and proceedings in bankruptcy shall be begun on the first of August.

160 L June 10; ed: 2/1 - Mr. Conkling of New York introduced into the House of Representatives on Jan. 28 a "Bill to establish a uniform system of bankruptcy throughout the U. S.," which was referred to select committee. There the matter has rested until the present time.

(22)

"Already Congress is talking of adjournment and yet no action is had or promised upon the very important subject, which, to the commercial world, has hardly been exceeded in importance by any measure before Congress. The Tax bill has been thoroughly discussed, while this bill, which is a necessary complement of that measure, is left untouched. There is yet time, however, if the members will take hold in earnest to perfect a system of bankruptcy which will be of immense advantage to the whole mercantile public."

167 L June 16; ed: 2/1 - A bankruptcy bill is pending in the Senate, but there is now little probability of its passing at this session.

(14)

"If not, this Congress will certainly be guilty of a gross and serious omission of an imperative duty, and an omission that those must be held responsible for who caused it. The whole community, of bankers, shippers, merchants, mechanics, farmers and laborers, had a right to demand that some measure for their relief from the prostration of business be taken, and they will be interested, both now and hereafter, in knowing who were for and who against the postponement. (8)

168 - L Jan. 11; ed: 3/2 - At a meeting of the board of directors of the Merchants' bank Jan. 9, T. P. Handy was elected president of the bank, a proper recognition of his eminent fitness and capacity for the position.

BANKS & BANKING

169 L Jan. 16:2/1 The bill authorizing the suspension of specie payments by the state bank of Ohio passed the senate Jan. 14 with several amendments. Having previously passed the house, it now goes back to that body for the amendments to be acted upon.

BANKS & BANKING (Cont'd)

170 L Jan. 20; ed: 2/2 The bank bill passed by the legislature is designed to protect the banks from having their coin drawn from them by speculators and brokers. It is well known that the banks of Ohio were never so strong in coin and so sound in every other respect as they are today, and the present law both strengthens them and also requires them to give credit and currency to United States demand notes.

171 L July 18:2/1

As a remedy for the scarcity of small change, the banks might be compelled to redeem all their notes of less than $5 denom"Let them keep the gold in their vaults aid of the country by issuing a part of the

ination, in silver or nickel.

but force them to come to the silver they hold in reserve."

L Aug. 11; adv: 3/3 - See Railroads

172 L Nov. 26; ed: 3/1 - Colonel Lum Smith, the famous "bill poster" of Buffalo, who has accumulated a tolerable fortune as a result of his diligence and temperance, has recently opened a banking house in Buffalo and is doing a flourishing business.

"The Colonel is in evidence of what may be accomplished by resolute and indomitable energy combined with intregrity and virtue."

BEES (Cont'd)

178 L Mar. 15:3/3 The third annual convention of the Bee-keepers association, which met in this city Mar. 12, adjourned yesterday afternoon to meet again during the state fair. The convention was fully attended, and its deliberations were characterized by unusual interest. Among the prominent gentlemen in attendance was the Rev. S. L. Langstroth, who is almost universally known in connection with bee-keeping. The very best of feeling prevailed throughout the meeting, and the liveliest interest in the work was manifested by all.

BIGAMIES

179 L Oct. 6:3/2 - Jason C. Vredenburgh was examined before Justice Hessenmueller Oct. 4 on the charge of bigamy. He had lived in Chicago and had left his wife with the idea of enlisting in the army. His wife did not hear anything from him, and came from Chicago to search for him. She found him married to a girl named Lydia Colier. Vredenburgh's real name is Coleman. He is now safely locked up.

BLACKMAIL & EXTORTION

180 L Aug. 5:3/1 Mystery surrounds the disappearance of Dr. Samuel Leslie. His room showed no sign of anything unusual, except that the gas was burning. He was known to have given utterance to the most gloomy and despondent sentiments concerning things that weighed on his mind. We have gathered enough of the story to believe he committed suicide as the result of being cruelly persecuted for purposes of extortion or revenge.

A statement of the facts in the case is being prepared and will soon be published,

181 L Aug. 12:3/1 Dr. Leslie, whom it was feared had committed suicide on account of troubles connected with his profession, has been heard from and is alive, although still in a nervous condition of mind. One of his friends in this city has received a letter from him within a day or two stating Dr. Leslie's whereabouts. It was a fear that certain persons, who, taking advantage of circumstances, sought to ruin his character as a medical practitioner, would carry out their threats against him and have him arrested, acting upon an oversensitive mind, that caused him to leave the city. What object his persecutors could have had unless it was to levy blackmail upon him we cannot conjecture.
