2 was vigorously condemned in financial e cles this morning. It resulted in the names of several prominent companies being sug. osted a8 the one concerned, and a serious ecline In the price of the stock of one of these compantes resulted therefrom. Prompt deninls were, of course, made by the officers of the companies against whom suspicion was thus directed, but in the absence of pos- ftive information A8 to what company was referred to, the rumors were not set at rest. Well informed bankers and others quickly learned that none of the companies men- tioned was tho one referred to in the appli- cation. Several bank presidents said that the ac. tion of Judge Brown was ill-advised, because 1t might be the means of doing a great i Justice to innovent persons ot instanc #aid one of them, “this bank might in good faith today discount & note of this myste rious corporation, or accept sgme of its checks, only to learn tomorrow, 100 late to protect ourscives, that the company was in the hands of a receiver.” Sterling Exchange Wenk. Sterling exchange was weak and lower this morning, the quoted rates being #4.821¢ (@4.841, and thero was talk of further im- ports of gold. "The subtreasury was doebtor at the clear- ing house this morning #451,000, of which about #400,000 was settled in gold. The sub- treasury up to midday had exchanged $200,- 000 in currency, mostly “fives,” *‘tens” and “twenties,” for large greenbacks and gold certifioatos, and it was oxpected that a little more would bo exchunged later in the day. 1t was supposed that the currency thus ob- tained from the subtreasury was for ship- ment 10 St. Louis and Kansas City, as de- mands for cash were received from two or three of their large banks. The demand from that center at this time is not rearded as at all serious.

St. Louis and Kansas City will s00n begin to reap the benefit of forwarding cotton, and some corn is_alroady beiug for- wardod, and, therefore, I do not think any trouble' neod bo anticipated there, Similarly, T do not view with alarm the sus- pension of the banks in Denver. They are probably ail thoroughly solvent and "have clased temporarily for their own protection, which was the best thing for them to do under tho circumstances, The throatened closing of the mills in tho east I rogard as a much more serious featurc wf tho present situation than the closing of the Denver banks."

A. Kent failed to open this morning. In one of the windows was a card announcivg that the bank was in the hands of an as- signeo. The last quarterly statament shows that the vank's resources were $208,527, while the liabilities wero §21¢ This does not include real estate valued at over §50.000 or Mr. Kent's other private posses- sions, all of which have been turned over to his assignee. Under ordinary circumstances there would be no trouble experienced in liquidating all the debts of the concern und leaving a handsome balance. The failurc of this bank to open caused runs on other banks, which resulted at 2:20 o'clock in the suspension of tho First National. Tts assets are over 2700.000, while its liabilitics are $500,000. J. W. Foster has been appointed examiner of the First Na- tional, which is expected to open again in a few days. Much of the money tied up in Kent's bank was state, county and city money. The effect will be disastrous for the time, but 1ot permanent, as the treasurcrs of all three are men of means and able to endure the loss, if loss there be. HELP, Comptrolier Says He Wil Banks All He Can. WasSHINGTON, July 20, omptroller Eckels sent a dispatch to the national bank exam- iner at Denver today in which ho says: 1 wish you would announce to the ofticers of the banks which have failed 1w Denver that it is my intention to lend them every aid possible looking toward a speedy resumption on_their part and that 1 shall grant them sufticient time to enable them to collect such amounts as are speedily collectable, but they must get together such amounts as will en- able them to open on a solid by The comptroller advises the citizens who have foolishly brought about the crisis by withdrawing funds to do the hest they can toward repairing the damage by redeposi ing. Heauthorizes the examiner to emvloy assistance in collecting money to the end in view, and has ordered Examiner McHugh of Jowa to assist him. Speaking of the matter he said the failures were not the fault of the bank oficials, but were caused by a foolish lack of confidence on the part of depositors. In all such cases 1o would help the failod banks to resumo. Ald Denver MILLS TO ¢! Big Concerns 1n Now Hampshirs and Maine to Suspend Oporations, Ponriaxp, Me,, July 20.--At a directors meoting today it was decided to shut down the mills of the Westbrook Manufacturing company, mukors of ginghams, from July 29 to September 4. There are threo reasons that unite to cause the shutting down. Tho goods now beiug manufactured cannot bo sotd until October, and no money can be realized on them until next spring. 1t is not deemed adyisablo to pile up goods, and as the mills have boen in operation thirty yoars without a shat down somo repairs are necessary. MiLtoN Minis, N, H., July 20, he agent of the Waumbeck company has issued ordors for closing the mills here for six months as Boon a8 the goods now in process of manu- facture aro fluished. The reason assigned for this action is a lack of orders, except at ruinous prices. The shut down will be a sorfous blow to many employes who are de- }mudunl upon their earnings in thess mills or supbort.

New Yonx, July 20.—The Evening Post says: The effect of the provosed closing of the large Amoskeag cotton plant in Man: chester, N. H., during the month of August, it is asserted, has been generally over- estimated. This, at all events, is tho view of many of the leading cotton merchants of this city. It is rogarded as probable that many othcr mills in New England, such as the Manchester mills, the Pembroke, Wob. ster and China mills and the York Manu. facturing company of Saco, will shut down, but nevertheiess the sitnation is not con- sidered an alarming one by the New York merchants One who combines cotton with banking trading said tofay: “The closing of tho Amoskeag mills will undoubtedly be fol- lowed by the closing of other large manufac- turing concerns in New England and pe haps in New York. It will be done as a precautionary measure to provent a large accumulation of goods during the antumn There is already a large accumulation of ginghams, which will be forced down in price if the production continues at the pres- ent rate. A large proportion of these are £oods for the spring trade. In view of the present financial disasters 1t is hardly to be oxpected that the country will have quito recovered from tho drain by spring, so that the trade will then probably bo anything but brisk. In view of a smaller demand, therefore, it is but natural that the mills should diminish their output accordingly, This is best done by stopping work altogether, thus saving the heavy expense of keoping up the wages for a wholo yi A month's wages for the Amoskeag oporatives, I unc 1d, amoun to more than £225,000. This is the best time of the year for such a measure, for many of the operatives wish to tako a vacation dur- ing the summer, or can at least stand the enforced 1dlencss botter than in winter, when their living oxpenses are so much higher. If the mills had not decided to closo now, they wouid probably have had to do 80 in December, when it would have been a very serious matter for the operatives.

FaLL River, Mass, July 20.—Ordered goods are selling in this markot on a basis of 3 cents for (4x64 and but fow sales of any moment are reported. The Daily Evening News says tonight, editorially, regarding the situation: “Brokers are offering 2J{ cents for print cloths, which is less than the cost of pro- duction. Predictions are made that some mills will have to break or sell at that price to get money to pay their help, if tho looms are to bo kopt in motion.

AL s, MRS. LEAVITT'S TALE OF WOE. Wifo of the Theatrical Manager Scoks for a Limited Divorce, Old-time theater-goers in Omaha will re- member pretty, vivacious Miss Hattie Brown, better known to the dramatic world as Hattie Forrest, She was a prime favorito before the footlights in this city in earlier days. As a vocalist she was particularly proficient. The soft melody of her voice reached the heart of Mike B. Leavitt, who was thena plain, every-day negro minstrol. Hattie had £300 in cash, §500 worth of jewelry, and an eleborate stage wardrobe. [Leavitt's love was reciprocated, Cupid tackled burnt cork and “blacked up” for the occasion. The lit- tle pod of love acted as interlocutor, or “middle man,” whilo Leavitt and Hattie played “the end.” The result was a happy marriage in 1560 in this city. Fortune smiled on Leavitt. He returned thegrin. In afew years he arose i the theatrical world as 8’ money maker—a rust- ler with twosound lungs and a great head. He introduced a novelty in “the profession.” It was a burlesque company known as the Rentz: tley troupe. There wel very few men in the company but always plenty in the auaience. It issaid that the company was never assessed for excess buggage in v The veuture was a great fina cial success. Leavitt became prosperous and prouinent. Mrs. Leavitt, nee Brown, was the Mrs* Rentz_in the Mme, Rentz Bur- lesque ¢ She stood nobly by him and it is materially assisted in piacing him upon the pedestal of fame, where ho has been enjoying serenity for many years. ‘The enterprising theatrical manager drifted into spectacular drama. His name loomed up on the bill boards amid a blaze of red ink azd terpsichorean queens in a man- ner that impressed itself vividly on the tab- lets of memory. But there is trouble in the Leavitt household in NewYork City just now. The happy, rose-tinted honeymoon, which was inaugurated in Omaha, has been clouded by a divorce suit. Mrs. Leavitt secks relief from alleged domestic woe. A few daysago the B contained a dis- patch to the effect that Mrs Leavitt had in- stituted suit for divorc Later advices from New York City indicate that Mike's wife proposes to put him through a large courso of sprouts, Mra. Leavitt's Story. In an interview in New York a fow days ago. Mrs. Leavitt said: “In November, 1801, I began a suit for separation on dccount of my husband's cruelty, but he came to me with tears in his ves and implored me to stop it. He said he ays loved me and no one else, and that his cruelty was a result of his having been overworked. He vowed he would treat me tenderly and kindly, and I forgave him. He i ately began to abuse me again, and 2 when we were at his s house in Chicago, he assaulted mo during the nignt, beating me all over the back, arms and bosom, I required the services of a physician, I was black and blue all over my body from his beatings, and on Junuary 21 1 had some photo- graphs tiken showing tho abrasions,wounds and discolorations.” These photographs were submitted as ex- hibits with Mrs. Loeavitv's afiidavits. She cites many other instances of cruelty, and 1ys that for the past four months her hus- band has not lived at home, and that she has been without means and obliged to pawn jewelry, while her husband has an in- come of 40,000, “The only thing he left me was credit at tho grocery store, and now that is ex- sted,” she said. “He is living in princely stylo at the Sturtevant house, and so is Georgie Putnam, one of the Putnam sisters in his company." Mrs. Leavitt asks for a limited divorco and substantial alimony, and swears that her husband is worth at least £150,000. She says he owns the house at 149 \vest Thirtecuth street, which 13 worth £5,000 and is unencumbered. He has it in furnivure, orieatal rugs and bric-a- brac worth 12,000, He owns a lease of the Bush Street theater in- San Fraucisco, Cal., from which he derives $10,000 & year. Ho also owns Leaviw's California circuit, whicn is worth £,000 yearly ; the Broadway theater in Denver, whichjis one of the finest in the west; the Windsor theater in Chica the Rent: tley Burlesquo company. which produces a net profit of 87,000 a season; the house at 493 Lexington avenue, whi is worth 825,000, and the *Spider and Fly,” which produces 8500 & week. Ho has o bunk account with Drexel, Morgan & C and another in a bank in San Francisco. —_— Balloon this eve., Courtland beach. e — Late leo Palls, Georgo Wilson, Ed Murphy, John Stuart, Davis and Harry Smith wore rounded up as vagrants last night.

TENNIS TOURNAMENT, Denlse and Wilbur Win the Doubles After n Long and Hard Fought Set, Quite a number of people gatherod on the grounds of the Omaha Tennis club again last night. It was the lastday of the city tour- ament, and, as there was only one set left over, an exhibition game had also boen ar. runged. just to keep the interest up. botween Cullingham and Battin and Hart anda C. H Young, On the previous evening the score in the final round of the doubles had beon loft at t all. Fosbonnor and Lawrence were gume ahead with a scoro of 6.3 in tho set and 46 in the second. The and deciding sot was startod on 6:45 last evening, but was not finished until nearly an hour later. The set was well contested throughout, though at the swrt could not beedled tennis. It was not until each side had won four games that the players really settled down to work. Denise and Wilbur had shown more steadiness throughout, and_thoy kent this up, finally winning at 93, 1t wasa toss-up several times which way the set would go. Nome of the four was doing as good work as on the previous night, M Fosbenner scemed to fail entire and at his own game especially. This was partly due, no doubt, to the fact that he wasgiven fewer opportunitics, His partuer was more reliable, but missed a few apparently casy shots. Denise and Wilbur, possibly on ac- count of the contagion of loose play, lacked decision. Both of thew, occasionally. did brilliant things, but their balls as a _general rule were sent down with too little force be- hind them. Still, take it all in all, they showed superior skill both in what they attompted and in what they achieved, espe- clally in those last eight wames on which the whole mateh redlly rested. There was not much interest taken in the exhibition match between Young and Hart and Cunningham and Battin. It was the first time that the former pair had played together, but they had better suc- cess, perhaps, than they expected. The, wore beaten 64 in the first set, but puiled off tho second by six games to three, the last fow games being played in semi-darkness. As the table below shows, Denise and Wilbur have beaton Gosney and Pollock, Young and Hart, Brown and McKell, and Fosbenner and Lawrence. T of the strongest pairs that entered were Culling ham and Battin, who hold the state cham- pionship, and C. H. Young and Cookson. Young and Cookson beat Cullingham and Battin and then, by decision of the commit- tee, had to retire ‘on account of Cookson's absence from town. In order to test their merit against that of the pair which won the event, Young and Cookson have challenged Denise and Wilbur, and the match will be played on Monday night. Tonight Denise and Wilbur will play ingham and Battin, and any one who has had their appetite for a good doubles game whetted but not appeased should attend and wateh the mateh. It is only a practice game, but will o doubt be played with much earnestuess as if a valuabin prize were being fought for, ‘The full results ot the doubles competition are giveu in the following table: OUBLES.
