Peters Makes an Assignment Affecting Several Other Concerns Unfortunate Ventures. Man-istbe. Oct. 16. R.

G. Peters assigned to-day to A. M. Henry of Detroit. It is the largest financial crash in the State for years and comes from a source least expected.

Mr. Peters was the leading spirit in a score of big enterprises and was a baron in the lumber and salt trade. The assignment covers millions of dollars worth of property and will be far-reaching in its effects. Meigs lumbermen, Dunham Co. of Grand Rapids, and the Fifth National bank are interested in the collapse.

A bill of sale of a half interest in the wholesale grocery firm of Lemon Peters of Grand Rapids was filed this morning by R. G. Peters in favor of C. M. Davison of Detroit.

The sale calls for $40,000 and was given to protect the Detroit National bank and General Alger. No schedule of assets or liabilities has been as yet filed here. From outside but reliable sources it is learned that the liabilities will be fully $3,000,000, with assets in the Fifth National bank, Arthur Meigs Andrew Dunham Co. of Grand Rapids; the Butters Peters Company of Ludington and North Carolina, the R. G.

Peters Lumber Company of Brewton, the Interior Lumber Company of Interior. High Peters of Chicago aud Marthinsou White of Sault Ste. Mario. The plant here had made enormous profits, but the outside ventures as a rule have been disastrous, especially the Southern adventures, which absorbed an enormous amount of capital without much return. R.

G. Peters owns 78,000 of the 80,000 shares of the R. G. Peters Salt and Lumber Company, which is capitalized at ".2, 000, 000, and whose last annual report showed real and personal pronertv of over 2,500,000 and credits of 142,524, while the debt reacnea folU.SiJ. Besides being president of the l'eters Salt and Lumber Company of Manistee, Mr.

Peters is a member ot the hrm ot Dunham, Peters Co. of both Chase and Grand Rapids; he owns a two-tifths interest in tb Stronach Lumber Company of Manistee, a half interest in the fiim of Butters' Peters Co. of Ludington, a leading in terest in the lumDir nriu ot l'eters Morrison which controls 15,000 acres of land at Menoninee, and 150,000 acres of land in various States. He is also president of the Manistee National bank and a direc tor ot the Fifth bank of Grand Rapids. He owns personally 10 1.

000 acres of timber laud in AiSbauia, and the Carolinas. Detroit, uci. io. rrom various sources here it is learned that the liabilities in the Peters failure amount to and over. It is thought the assets in Manistee, Grand Rapids and the lands of the Northern Peninsular aud the lumber on hand, if judiciously handleil, will cover liabilities, but in such case- the ten dency is to sacrifice, and thus curWl the assets.

It is not thought the Detroit banks have been touched at all, since the friends of Griswold street on the West coast ha-e given the "street" a tip from time to time, which caused them to decline Peters's paper. Tuis has been the case for the past two years, in which time l'eters has been branching out very heavily in multiiarious businesses. A FAIR SLEEP-WALKER, An Actress Rescued From a Housetop at Rlclimond, Va. Richmond, Oct 16. Tuesday morning at about 2 o'clock a negro man who was walking down Franklin street, just about Governor's street, saw a nude woman standing ou the cornice of the Put nam boarding house.

The negro ran to Mr. Geo. Bannister's place and informed him of the perilous position of the young lady. Mr. Bannister hastened around to the house and saw the young lady stand ing like a statue.

Under the glare of the electric light, he noticed that she was asleep, her eyes being open, but they seemed to be fixed on som object. Mr. Bannister and another man stood on the pavement with outstretched arms to catch her if she should fall, and ordered the negro to go into the house and awake Captain Putnam. The captain hastily dres-ed himself and went to the window which was just back of the fair sleepwalker, and taking her gently by the arm pulled her into the room and escorted her to her apartment, lhe sleep-walker was Miss Clara Shaw, one of the actresses at the Comique. The next morning she had no knowledge of what had occurred, aud her companions do not liko to say anything to her about it THE NEW ORLEANS TRAGEDY.

se30-TUF-tf 3BOWING stronger day by DAY. Football Matches With the Detroit, Washington-Jefferson and Pennsylvania University Teams Sporting News From Far and Near. The Allegheny Athletic club Is rapidly growing into popularity. It Is expected that the membership will number 200 before many weeks. The foot ball team of the club has been in training long enough to make it appear as formidable as any in this part of the State at least.

Of coarse it has not as yet found an opponent strong enough to test it3 skill, the only game played by the Athletic clnb being the one against the Western University eleven last week. The latter were not in fettle and were lacking in practice and experience. The Athletics yesterday received an answer to a challenge to the Detroit club. The date is set for November 8. The Petroit players, however, Kquest that the match be played in their city.

The Athletics are not-willing to do this, and are confident that they can prevail npon the Detroit club to come to Pittsburgh by offering a first-class guarantee. A game with the Washington-Jefferson college team will be arranged before the Detroit match. Efforts will also be made to bring the 1'enosylvania University team here. This team is one of the strongest in the country. It will cost something to arransre a match with the Philadelphians, but the Athletics are determined to spare no expense.

Next Saturday the first game will be played against ihe Shadysicie Academy team. On the 25th the East Ena (Jymnasium eleven will be met, and on November 1 the Qreensburg team. AH theso games will be played at Exposition park. The Athletic team next Saturday will consist of Urown, left end; Hammond, left tackle; J. Oliver, left guard: James Moorhead, center; Scott White, right guard; Townley, right tackle; McCurd, right end; Robinson, quarter back; Fry, right half back, H.

Oliver, left half back, and O. D. Thompson, full back. MUTKIE AND EWIXG. They Dave AU to Do With the Make-Up ot the Giants.

The World says: Mr. Day, in speaking of the selection of players yesterday, said: "When the time comes for that the matter will be left in the hands of Mutrie and Ewing, and their judgment largely will the make-up of the team depend." "How about John Ewing and reporter asked. "So far as O'Rourke is concerned," sn id he, "if it is found later on that the other gentlemen connected with the club want him 1 will not interfere, but I am not anxious for his services. John Ewing is a young player, and I would rather have him "than Keel's if it came to choice." Vice President Talcott of the local Players league club corroborated what Mr. Day said in regard to the selection of the team and the influence of Mutrie and Ewing therein.

He said that none of the players with whom he has spoken has objected to the proposed consolidation, and that he considered the move as much for the players' benefit as for that of the capitalists, "home players, of course, will not be included in the reorganized team," said he, "but even had we continued the right some of them would have been dropped, as we had determined to make several changes." THE BU.LIARD TOURNAMENT. Schael'cr and Slosson the Only Entries. Ives Unable to Play. Kit Tobk, Oct. 16.

Entries for the championship billiard tournament closed yesterday and only the names of Slosson and Schaefei appear on the list. It was thought that Fournil. the Trench player, would enter, in which case Ives would also fall into line, but a cable was received from the foreigner by the Brunswick-Balke-Collender company yesterday stating he would be unable to play. In all Probability the match will take place about ecember 1 at Chickering hall, though the details have not been definitely arranged. Schaefer and Ives are on their way'East giving exhibitions.

McAullffo and Myer Matched. Nk York, Oct. 18. It is reasonably certain that there will be another battle for the lightweight championship of America between Jack McAullffe and Billy Myer for $5,000 a side, with an added purse of $5,000 given by the Metropolitan club of New Orleans, in which city the eontest is expected take place. As McAullffo has agreed on a date as near Mardi Oras as possible to be agreed on, the probabilities are that the battle will take place between February 12 and 20, 1891.

Of coarse no match can be arranged with the champion until after the funeral of his wife. Base Ball Notes. Ed Swartwood struck the town yesterda y. The Alleghenys are beginning to disperse. The Boston National league team disbanded yesterday.

The MeAlpin, Johnson syndicate is said to control five Flayers league clubs. Mr. Frank DeH. Robisoa is president of the Cleveland athletic club just organized. Louisville ranks first in fielding and batting according to the Association averages.

Mr. Thurman arrived in the city yesterday cot Allen but A. E. of San Francisco. Oeorsre Gore says he is out for bisr money and will hold out until some club pays him his price.

The Giants, according to Tim Murnane, have sent word to Director 1 alcott that they wouid not play with a team which contained Brotherhood deserters. Fred. Dunlap, who is at present residing in this city, is taking good care of himself, and he says he expects to play the game of his life next season. Philadelphia Pres. Director Talcott says he will never submit to the name "National League" for the new organization.

He says the Herald't suggestion, "the League of American Ball Clubs," would, be the moat acceptable. Pitcher Jack Dolan and Short-stop Billy Clingman of the Cincinnati Reds, were released by Manager Loftus. They wore allowed to go, it is said, to make room for some of the players in other Brotherhood clubs that will be sent to Cincinnati. John Ward comes out flat-footed with the assertion that he will play with anyone and with whatever club the capitalists wish, while there are other players who are apparently willing to play bail and stop entering protests. Acio 1 ork Herald, Gus Williams, who pitched for the Brooklyn Americans early this year, is dead.

He hiid been sjek all summer, owing to a severe cold contracted during one of the early exhibition games. He pitched two championship games, winning one and losing one. Hardie Richardson said he was willing to play the next season for fun rather than play aga'inst the men that sold out the Brotherhood last fall. A few months ago Hardie said he would mash Glasscock's face the first time ho met him. He probably never met him.

Manager Hanlon returned to Pittsburgh yesterday morning, and in the evening he left for New York. He will represent Pittsburgh at the Players league meeting in that city on Monday. The manager may also attend an important meeting of all the Players league capitalists on Saturday. Do not let it be forgotten by either side that the Cleveland public especially will insist on seeing base ball on the League plane of 1SS9, and in any other case base ball will get very indifferent support. This does not seem to be the opinion of one or two, but a general consensus of opinion.

Cleveland Leader. A srreat deal of disappointment has been felt in Brotherhood circles that the champion Boston team will be forced to remain content with the title of "Players League Champions." Kelly has issued a general challenge to play for the world's championship, but it will not be accepted. Xew York Herald. The lawyer of the league has mapped out the following circuits for next year: National ieague New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Cincinnati, Chicago, Cleveland and Pittsburgh. American Association Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Chicago, Louisville and St.

Louis. John I. Rogers says there was a faint possibility of a compromise in Philadelnhia, but under one condition, and that was "that the Players should live up to the National agreement, or, in other words, that the Plavers league should waive all claim to the players that had deserted the National league this fear. Danny Richardson, the phenomenal second baseman of the Giants, made a hit with his fellow-players when he asked: "How manv men have we got in our team that will stand out and ref use to ever play with the deserters? I am willing to play for a thousand dollars a vear less rather than have anything to do wub those flayera' htgn.Clobt. iVlf 'i "The stride made by The Pitts-bcsgh Post vithin the last few yora are really little ahert of wonderful.
