Since the suit has been pending it Las been a familiar figure on Judge Slack’s calendar, and the filings have accamu- lated until they form an imposing bundle. The assets of the irm were not large at st, but by clever manipulation they have yielded the creditors between 30 and 40 cents on the dollar. A short time ago the committee of tors appointed by the Board of Trade ndle the case decided that there had no wrongéoing and it advised the creditors to cease prosecuting their claims, This was done in ail claims but that of the Anglo-California Bank, which held notes of the firm amounting 10 about $13.000. The bank wasnot represented at the meeting of the committee, but learn- ing of it subsequently it withdrew irom the case, and yesterday the final order of discharge was entered nv Judge Slack. There will be about $17,000 to distribute among the creditors, and then the affairs of the firm can be settled up. S THEIR SEQOND BANQUET.
