This cotapuny is one of the largest if not the largest builders of railway cars in the world and has plants at Hegewiseh, I1i, De- catur, Ala, Anmston, Ali., and Urbana, O. The capital stock of the company is #4,000,- 0. The assets of the company consist of shops, yards and real ostate and machin. ory Hegewisch which origivally cost $1,400,000, and which are now claimed by reason of the advance in real estate values to be worth at least 2,000,000, Its shops and works at the other places mentioned are worth about £1,500,000.

Prettyman could not be found, Nostatement of asscts or liabilities are obtainable. Tyons Brothers, dealors in crockery, have $15,000 on deposit. This is believed to be the largest single loss. “I'his aftornoon an assignment. was made in the county court to the cashier of the bank, Earl 8. Johnson, and at the same time ho was made assignee of the North Division lumber company, one of the largest lumber firms in the city, and in which Prettyman was the heaviest stockholder. Prettyman also assigned his veal and Jlmsmml estate to Johnson. The assets and liabilities of the two concerns and Pretty 's estate will reach, itis believed, #,000,000. Assignee Johuson refused to make any statement of the assets or liabilitios of either the bank or the lumber company. He said the cause of the assignment was~ the present tight money market and its bud effect on the lumber com- pany. This concern and the bank were closely connected. One of the former depositors in the bank, however, who asserts a pretty good knowledge of s affairs, believes the liabilities of the bank will reach £00,000, and the assets are problematic. He said Prettyman bad been speculating heavily this year in real estate and putting up houses for sale, and business has not proved profitable, A large number of depositors in the bank are poor people.

B3 FouRTRESTH STRE Wasmisaros, D. C., Nov. 12, General Hazen, thind assistant postmaste, general, told Tk Bre correspondent this af- ternoon that his aunual report, which will be made public within a week, will make an ad- mirable showing for Omaha during the past year. It will show that the business of the Omaha postoMce increased 10 910 ver cont, which is probably the thriftiest exhibition made by any large city in the United States. General Hazen was unable to recall uny large city with even so great an inerease in propor- tlon to population. The receipts of the ofice in 1800 will be $246,359, an increase of $24,106, The figures from the money order branch of the postoftice department and those showing the registry business could not be obtained, but they are in proportion to the general re- ceipts. General Hazon regards the Omaha business as a model exhibition of western progress and enterpr The postal business fn general makes a very satisfactory showing and 18 8 matter of pride with Presi- dent Harrison, The increase of re- ceipts and business in general are about 2 per cent over the best showing under President Cleveiand, The exact increase forthe past vear wis 8 4-10 per cent, while the best in- crease under the last administration was 6 6-10 per cent. . WANAMAKER AND POSTAL TELEGRAPHY, Postmaster General Wanamaker is deter- mined to continue his battle for postal telog- raphy, and to push it to a successful termin- ation under his administration if possible. He will urge its praticability in his annual rc‘porl, and belloves that ho s the musses with him. He says the farmers alliance and labor organizations, as well as the merchants and every class that deals with the popula- tion direcily, be at his back. He will treat the subject at great length and put it in anew light. Heleaves the question of penny letter postage with congress after showing its cost and advantages. The post master studying the parcel There ~are two classes Dbitterly op- wosed to its adoption or there is lttle doubt that it would be accomplished thiswin- ter. The express companies and merchants in small towns are vehiemently in opposition. The first naturally do not waut to stand the losses which would immediately accrue to their business, and the latter contend that the mévehants of the large cities, who can sell goods cheaper (1A the small merchants, would do the business of the couutry by mail. Mr. Wanamuker is a very extensive merchant himself, and the dealers would in- stantly charge him with selfish aims in advo- cating the parcel post, no matter how popu- lar it would be. In this connection the fact is recalled that the express companies have pever been put under the provisions of the interstate commerce law, although they are morally just as amenable. The proposition is o be made this winter, and it will doubtlels prevail, as there ap- pears to be a universal demand for it and no opposition in congress, THE DEMOGRATS AND PENSIONS, The democratic newsvapers of New York today devoted each sgveral colummns to a loud cry of alarm against the present pension ex- penditures, The Herald says that if there is not a curtailment af the coming scssion “the disbursements for _peusions will throw the federal _government, into hopeless bank- ruptey,”’ and baseg s statement upon the aunouncement thathere will be a pension deficiency of&#40,000,000 at the opening of the coming session. ' It announces that the demo- cratic party has a great work to perform in repealing some of the present pension laws and in “checking the republican part; rewarding soldiers for their partisan feal Tn other words, it charges the republican ud- ministrations of the past ana present with giving the soldiers and widows und orphans enormous and unnecessary pensions purely because they have assisted the republican organization. This is the Wasminaros Beweaw Tie Ovam Bee, % general s nrow post problem. tone of the entire sentiment of the democratic news- papers uot only in 2w York but New England. They will demand the repeal of the priucipal pension laws and will enter the next campaign upou that platform. They say the time has come when politicians and the peopie as a body should notbe mealy- mouthed about the pension business, but should strike out and boldly proclaim them- selves in favor of putting a stop to the issu- ance of pensions, Itis believel by republi- cans in Washington that this will be a prom- inent issue in the campaign of 188, at least the democrats have put themselves on record for this policy. CONGRESSIONAL BEAPPORTIONMENT, A desperate attompt will be made by the democrats this winter to defeat the new con- gressional apportionment bill. — They will charge every species of frand against the work of Superintendent Porter and his su- isors and enumerators and will ask for a ional investigation into the charges whn-hthv,f‘ will make, the purpose being to delay final action upon the reapportionment bill until the next eongress so that the demo- cratic house can control action. There is no_likelihood, however, that, this cry will have any effect. The republicans intend to take up the veapportionment bill at an dato In tho acason and pass it, The measure will be fair to all parties and strictly non- partisan in its effect, and it is likely that it will increase tke basis of congressional representation to 150,000, which, it is be: lieved, will not raise materially the present membership of the house, but will of "cour: necessitato & congressional gerrymander in ach state. A new gerrymander for con- onal purposes is brought about every years, 50 that there can be nothing of a partisau nature charged against the bill, Superintendent Porter has mot eyery charge made against hlm and shown it to be so absurd and malicious that the wild claini now being made through the democrat newspapers will have no effect ou congress or the country at large. SENATOR CAMERON'S PRIENDS ANXIOUS, Considerable v is felt among Senator Don Cameron’s friends as to the probability of that gentleman’s re-election owing to the democratic tidal wave in Penusylvania, Sex ators Cameron und Quay are intimate per- sonal and political friends. and since the lat- ter has been turued down the impression prevails that the former will be retived two years hence. Senater Cameron many warm personal friends in Washington who will lend a band towar ing himw puolic life, and it is a v them that though the senator is uot an orator he accomplish in his quiet way much move for his constituents than a man who does o great deal of talking, * Senator Cameron is a staunch nTuhnmm. and it would be a loss to the republican party for him to go into pri- vate life at this time, - BLAINELAMD HARRISON, A lengthy article' ¥ this eveniu says that there1s ay und President Harrison agd Se Blaiuo by which the latter is to support the former for & renomination unless theve is a demand for the man from Maies in which event tho rrcslm-ul willnot be a candidate and give his support to Mr, Blaine.
