C. Lewis, the hatter on Fourth avenue, between Jefferson and Green streets, late yesterday afternoon filed a deed of assigrfment in the County Clerk's odee the Louisville Trust Company being named asslgmee. The deed states that the assets Consist mainly of the stock of hats, caps and goods of like description the. store on Fourth street, and some property in' Parkland. Mr.

Lewis has been In the hat business since, he came Louisville 'in 1S63. and began as a-clerk. Since 1S68 he has been in business for himself, except for a short Interval. During these years he had built up a reputation that is an honor to' any business man. and last night he said that his inability to pay every dollar he owed caused him the deeper regret on account of the friendly encouraging1 letters he had received from his creditors.

"Depression In. business. said Mr. Lewis, "was the cause of my failure. It has been gradually getting worse and falling- off since 1891, and 1S93 was the dullest year In the hat trade that I have ever experienced; It was one-third of what a store like mine expects-to do.

My assignment was nort caused by any pressing- creditor, suit or threat of suit-On the contrary every one of them wrote the kindest of letters to me, offered time and I could have made an arrangement that would have been satisfactory to them. "This letter." said Mr. Lewis, "which I received Wednesday from Phillips Downs, of New York, caused me to mlike an assignment for the equal benefit of my creditors. This firm wasfmy larrest creditor and would have been as lenient as the rest but for Its own misfortune. In this letter they sympathize with me and say that by the time I receive it they will themselvea be In liquidation.

They said that they were in the same fix as I was. They have made an assignment and I feared that when this claim, the largest one against me. came into the bands of the assignee an attachment would be taken out on my stock to the detriment of my remaining creditors. To protect all I speedily made an assignment." Mr. Lewis was not prepared to give any statement as to assets or liabilities, preferring that those figures should be shown accurately by the result of the Trust Company's accounting.

Hats, he said, constituted a stock that was hard to appraise if a forced sale was contemplated. The Trust Company has requested him to remain and manage the business for the present and help to dispose of the stock to the best advantage. J. B.

I have no partner. All my whisky is made In Larue county. In accordance with the State law I pay the State the tax on the whisky In Larue county and I also pay the county of Larue a county tax. All my books and accounts are kept here in Louisville and 1 do all my banking here. All the whisky is sold by correspondence or salesmen.

As jl pay two taxes on my whisky in Larue county I do not want to pay a third tax in Louisville. Yet I have not refused to pay. but have delayed knowing that there were others situated similarly to myself, and I thought some one might litigate the matter. I shall not litigate the matter, but will pay if the court thinks that I should." Mr. Barker brought out the additional facrts that the J.

M. Atherton Company was incorporated in Jefferson county, and that Mr. Atherton lived In. Jefferson county. He urged that personal property followed the owner to his place of residence and was.

C. C. OVERALL ANGRY Spirit of Opposition Breaking Out In His Congregation. Yuan? People, Titter Daring: Serv iees, Wnile the Older Ones Danes and Occasionally Quarrel. Tho Rev.

Overall, pastor of the Jeexl-avenuo colored mission, is conducting his revival meetings under difficulties. He visited Central' police station yesterday afternoon to see if something could not be done to aid him in keeping- order. He said on Wednesday night one of the men who attended the revival got up In the midst of the' services and began to dance the double-shuffle in the middle aisle. This seemed to be highly amusing to some of the congregation, who clapped their hands and yelled for him to "go it." He said he stopped his preaching and Inquired of members of the congregation who the man was. but all claimed they did not know him.

Two young women who seem to be strangers are also doing all in their, power. Overall says, to break up his meetings. He says they make it their business to sit in the back of the church and when the congregation is singing they sing a different tune and destroy tho harmony of music. They burst cu laughing during the preaching and disturb his thoughts greatly, the preacher says. Wednesday night one of the omcers of church.

Louis Champion, very nearly bad a fight with one 'of those who attended the meeting. He seemed to he a 'stranger also. He got up during services, and. going to the door, deliberately held it open sof that the cold air could blow Into the room. When Champion remonstrated with him, the man told him to get out or he would freeze him out.

The two men had some words and were on the point of fighting when others interfered. Over-ail sad he thought there was a spirit of opposition developed against him since he waa arrested about a week ago and charged with disorderly conduct. He said some of the congregation are Jealous of him and are making his arrest the means of belittling him.

Third In this action aajalnst a railroad company to recover damajres f-r loss resulting from defendant's failure to furnish cars for the shipment of live stock at the time agreed, as defendant admitted tha failure to furnt.ih the raYs and pleaded that It used reasonable diligence to have the cars at the place and time agreed, which waa prevented by a wreck- on the road, the burden of proof was upon the defendant, the allegations of the answer being denied by reply. Fourth The. fact that defendant hod at the place agreed the necesxary empty cars for the shipnrant of plaintlffa stock on the day previous to that fixed for the shipment tha station agent then assared plaintiff that the necessary cars would be on hand the next day does rot make the defendant responsible for ita failure to hold the cars which were then at the station, provided timely arrangement waa made for- others to be there at proper time, which was prevented by a wreck.

Mrs. Stivers' Attorney Supports His Motion With Four Arguments.1 Chief Point Is That the Statute of Limitations Is a Bar To Fur- ther Prosecution. The attorney for Irs. Ihora Stivers yesterday morning In the Criminal division filed a motion and grounds for the quaahinir of the execution recently issued against her under that part of the judgment in tho case in which she was prosecuted for the miirtreatmont of Annie iiurro which relates to imprisonment. The capias was issued, it will be remembered, at the same time that tho one against Martin 'Norton waa placed, in the Sheriff's bands, and was in accordance with the ruling of the Court ol Appeals in the case of the ex-Councilman.

1 ho verdict of the Jury was that Mrs. Stivers- should pay a fine of $200 and be imprisoned in jail for four months. She paid the fine, and, leaving the city. the imprisonment waa satisfied at tho rate ot $2 a day. There are four grounds urgc-d for tho quashing of the capias.

The first is that it had been nearly two years since the judgment was entered against her before an execution was h-sued. In the second place, it is urged that more than one year having elapsed Kinott. any prosecution of her by the Common-I, waui uie statute ot unuuuons is operative. The third reason advanced for the quashing- is that the Commonwealth accepted the settlement as in full made when the capias was issued upon the judgment in lg03. No appeal was then taken flora the payment and it waa made in good faith.

The fourth pleading is to the effect that after the criminal prosecution Annio Bur re prosecuted a civil action against her in the Law 'and Equity division, securing an exoeasivn verdict by reason of the excitement of the nublic mind. This canned her to lose ber home in the 1 mA 1. i 1 :1 i iuu 7uuazim. urr aiiu ur ruuunni almost destitute. It is urped that, the various punishments inflicted were excessive, cruel and unusual and form a bar to all future proceedings against ber on the part of the Commonwealth.
