One Designed to Make Confession of Judgment Holders Diszorge. CHicAGo, May 18.—Proceedings designed to spread consternation in the ranks of con- fession of judgment holders, und have a wide bearing in the commercial world, were begun in the federal court to-day. The initia tive was in the shape of a bill filed by seventy-five eastern jewelry firms, the im- mediate object being to set aside the con- fessions of judgment whereby half a dozen Chicagoans captured the assets of Clapp & Davies, wholesale jewelers here, who failed in 1887 with liabilities of over $300,000. One day in April, 1887, the firm unexpect- edly confessed judgment to five persons in Chicago, whom they claimed to owe 8113, 000. Ixecutions were levied upon the stock, a receiver appointed, and the property sold by him, it being purchased by the judgment holders for $101,000. au amount small enough to bar all other creditors. The host of creditors who got nothing and are now complainining, hold claims apgregating § 00. They claim that the firm of Clapp & Davies, for more than a year prior to ite failure, was grossly involved, and hat the partners, mnotwithstanding their knowledge of this fact, continued their busi- ness, and continued to buy goods from com- plainants on credit, doing 8o, it 13 claimed, in pursuance of a well laid scheme, of which the confession of judgment was merely a part. Itis urged that these unlawful pre- ferences were in direct violation of the law as laid down by Justice Harlan, of the United States supreme court, in his recent, decision m the case of White vs Cothousen. The court is asked to oin the receiver and de- clare Ciapp & Davies’ transfer of property a voluntary assignment for the benefit of all creditors. If successful, o say the attorneys for the complainants, this case will be the forerunner of @ thousand more ex- actly similar in all important detaiis. The principle of law on which the complainants expect to gaiu their victory involves every failure that has taken place in Chicago in thirteen years. If the decision by Justice Harlan is upheld it wili mean that the banks of Chicago must give up an untold amount which they have secured by such proferences. It is said that one prominent bank alone owes £1,500,00) of money thus ob- tained. ey Baptist Educational Society. BosToN, May 18.—The American Baptist Education society held its annual meeting here this afternoon and evening. 'The treasurer, in his report, said it had been de- cided to establish an institution of learning in Chicago, and it was proposed to raise 1,000,000 for this purpose before June, 1590. The secretary announced that he had in his hands a letter from John D. Rockefeller offering #30,000, and one from C. Hinckley, of Chicago, offering £50,000, so they had to raise only $350,000 of the $1,000,000.ncees- sary. After the adoption of a vote of thanks to Rockefeller for his gift, officers were elected as follows: President, Franpcis Wayland, of Connecticut; vice presidents, George A.

A telegram received from Mayor Rohrer at Chicago last cvening stated that no deci- sion had been arrived ut concerning tourna- ment rates, and tuat the matter would come up again Tuesday noon, Abot thirty gen- | oral passenger agents and their assistants are in attendance at the meeting, and it has been decided that all votes must be unani- mous, This being the case, a single dissont- mg vote will kill any question on which a vote is taken. Mayor Rohrer is of the opin- ion that the case is a very precarious one, and advocates striking with all possible force while the iron is hot. Telegrams were sent yestarday by all the leading retail business firms ana wholesalo houses of the city, asking that volunteer fire- men be carried free, as the success of tho tournament depends upon it, Freo trans- portation for the firemen is by no means assured, and the committee is naturally feel- ing rather nervous, It is alloged that the unfriendliness of the railroads for the people of fowa is all that prevents a speedy adop- tion of the desired rate, but strong hope are entertained that they will yield to the strong demand made upon them in this instance.

Increase, A loose block n-Lower Broadway was the cause of an accident, yesterday afternoon, that may prove rather costly to the city. W. H. Ware, Esq., was driving along that thoroughfare with his standard trotting stallion, Prince Ivanhoe, whon the animal stepped upon a tilting block and was thrown heavily to the pavement. One knee was terribly cut, but’ the horse, though badly crippled, was able to hobble to the stable. On exammnation by Veterinary Surgeons Stewart and Caty, revealed the fact that the knee cap was badly smushed, and found the injury to be of u much more serious nature than 'was anticipated. It is stated that the accident will probably render the animal valueless for track or'road work, althougi he may possibly recover. He was valued at £1,500, and Mr. Ware proposes- to recover damages from the city. 1t was intended to place the horse in training in a few days, and ho gave promise of great speed. Mr. Ware states thut he was jouging the horse but Jittle faster than a walk at the time of the accident, otherwise the aninal would have sn killed outright. It is stated that the © where the accident occurred was left in bad condition after making repairs to the water works mains. oo SLCORA Lake Manawa.
