James H. Walsku Coxrur Buaa or of Trouble. Tbe company's wholesale establishment i located on tbe nort beast corner or Adams and Market streets and the retail store at No. ss Wabash avenue. The suspension caused little surprise In business circles.

as It has been known for some time that tbe com nan haa been Dressed for read rash. Owing to the tight money market it waa compelled some time ago to ask some of ita kastern creditors for extensions. Last Thursday tbe rumor was sea in started that the eoneern waa embar- sed, and these rumor were con firmed when a confession of Judgment for f.i.VM ii in favor of r- Noa wa entered about noon yesterday. Shortly afterward Attorney A. II.

CbetlaJn. representing A D. Juillard, John B. Claflin company. Bliss, Fabian at New York creditors; Colum bus U- Cummings, W.

B. Howard, and Irvinr T. Hartz, members of the company. and K. Noa.

appeared before Judge Windes. In the Irruit court, and made application lur tbe appointment or a receiver. Attor ney Bnrv, representing Jamea H. Walker. suggested the names of William A.

Mason, rcasurer of the company, and Mr. Walker, he president, for receivers. Mr. Walker was objected to by other stockholders, and quite a discussion arotte over the question of his appointment. cumnilngs was willing to have Mr.

Mason act as one of be receivers, but wished the name of C. Lav, vice president. substi- uted for that of Mr. Walker. Mr.

Burr, In support of Mr. Walker'a appointment. produced telegrams from business houses in New York who were creditors to the amount of over fTUO.OUO. showier that this credit had been extended to the company very largely on Mr. Walker's personal and commercial standing, and intimating that they would prefer to have some responsible guarantee or trust company take control of be business.

Tills opened to tbe court a way for disposing of tbe contention, and Mr. Mason and the Chicago Title and Truat company were appointed receivers. Judge Indes also said that be would entertain i application for the appotatment of a iru receiver to-day. This third appoint ment will be made very largely on the suggestions of a number of creditors who are pee ted to arrive in the city this morning. too atecetversais) nufc.

In the bill asklnr for the appointment of receivers It Is said out that aa execution on the judgment secured by E. Noa was placed In. tbe hands of tbe sheriff, aad tbat tbe James II. Wslker company refused to de liver any property under the execution, which was therefore returned, "No prop erty found, and no part satisfied." The complaint sets out further that tbe firm is Indebted for money borrowed and mer- handise, debt contracted In the course of business, which it is unable to meet. It is alM stated that owing to the strained con dition of tbe financial market tbe firm was unable to negotiate further loans to be used in the usual course of business, and that It was unable to collect outstanding obligations ia so (Helen sums to stay the encroachments of Ita Indebtedness.

The firm's assets consist of open accounts and notes of face value of and a large quantity of dry roods and other merchandise In the wholesale and retail stores. It also owns considerable real estate, the value of which.it ia claimed, cannot be staled, owing to the unsettled condition of the market. ror these reasons it deemed Impossible, aa well aa impractica ble, to longer continue business, and the appointment of a receiver was the natural outcome. The claims of tbe creditors wbo joined in tbe petit ion for the appointments of ceiver are as follows: A. D.

Juillard. Bliss. Fabian Ax John 11. lanin company, rw.ooo. Could So Secure Mr.

Walker, when questioned with refer ence to tbe receivership matter, said "The trouble wss caused entirely by an inability to secure loans. I cannot at present make a statement aa to our assets aad liabilities further than tbat we will pay dollar foe- dollar aad have a handsome surplus left. But la common with a number of large business bouses we have been pressed for ready rash for some time, and tbe rumor that we have asked some of our Eastern creditors for extension during the last few month la correct. To give a list of our creditor woold be to name nearly every large dry rood bouse In tbe country. To morrow morning both oor wholesale and retail bouses will be closed for a few days ror the purpose or taking aa laventory.

Tbe business of the former will then be continued, but the Utter will be liquidated." William A. Mason, one of tbe receivers. said that he could not make a statement of the company's condition, but knew that tbe aaaeta greatly exceeded tbe debt. "Tbe suspension only temporary," he contin ued, "and baa beea brought about by tbe condition of tbe money market.

LANDMARKS ARE BURNED. Three of J. P. Smith Icehouse Destroyed by Fire. Fire broke out in tbe icehouses -of J.

P. Smith dt west of Indiana avenue and south of Fifteenth street, about 9:30 Thursday evening, and three of tbe ancient landmarks were almost totally destroyed. Tbe fire, however, will not create a bull movement in the ice market, for none of the burned buildings contained any of the commodity, which happened to be stored in other houses 'to tbe south of those burned. One of the buildings was used as a wagon repair and paint shop and another as a barn. In tbe barn were twenty-nine horses and their harness, while on the premises were eighteen ice wagons.

All of the horses were taken out in safety. The firemen wasted little time in fighting the fire la the three burning structures, but devoted their attention to saving tbe ad joining property. In this they were suc cessful, and tbe flames were confined to the paint shop, barn, and empty icehouse. At tbe America hotel, No. 1569 Mlchigai avenue, and adjacent houses near tbe burn ing buildings' there was some commotion among the guests, but the quick quenching of tbe flames by tbe firemen brought a speedy quiet.

St. Luke's hospital wss near by also. No excitement prevailed there, however, as most of the patients were kept ba ignorance of the fire. Tbe total loss will be very light, probably not to exceed 2,000, which amount is fully covered by insurance. RAILROADS ARE SWINDLED.
