Raiprnalon of Jobnalon, Buck Sc. C.
It Is seldom that Etensburg has anything
to s artie her bUid and quiet movements,
but tbe announcement on last Saturday
morn Id about Uftlf-paat ten o'clock that
the banking firm of Johnston, Buck A Co.,
of this place, bad suspended was calculated
to quicken the business pulse ot tbe com
munity, and tbe news spread with almost as
much rapidity as an alarm of fiie. Tbe bad
news was, however, too true, as ft card at
the window of tbe banking house confirm
ed the report to all who wished to verify tbe
fact by reading for themselves.
During the day the situation was the sola,
at-sorbing topic of discussion in tbe town.
Ia the stores, bar-rooius, street corners, aud
In fact, every place where two oi thrne men
got together, the SuaBcial situation was dis
cussed and for once the local "bulls aud
beats" bad ft surfeit or talk on finances.
The diiectaud sole cau?e for the tuspeu-
slon was tbe failure ot tbe bankiag bouse
of B. K. Jamison A Co.. of Philadelphia,
which occurred on Friday last. With this
firm Messrs. Johnston, Buck A Co. did bus
iness and at tbe time of tbelr failuia bad
deposited about $10,000. This amount of
readv cash, suddenly taken from them and
tied up, was certain to embaiass them, aud
fearing a run on their bank, Messrs. M. J.
& A. W. Duck, the surviving members of
the firm, decided after ft basty consultation
to suspend.
On Saturday afternoon tbe members of
the firm informed ft number of their credi
tors and caused the fact to be generally
known that they would meet them at the
Opera Ilouse at 7:30 p. M.. for tbe purpose
of explaining tte cause of the suspension,
ana altar a discussion of the situation, ar
rive at the best possible plan of settling
with tbelr creditors.
In tbe evening At the time stated, a larga
number of creditors met ftnd organized by
electing Jude Barker as chairman.
Mr. A. W. Buck, tbe cashier, then ex
plained the cause of tbe suspension which,
as we hs.ve stated, was due fo tbe failure of
B. K. Jamison & Co., and read a statement
of the assets and liabilities of tbe firm,
which he gave follows: Assets, $-53,-630.27;
liabilities, $238,443 57. ftnd stated
that If the firm was granted an extension
ftnd given time to collect their assets, every
obligation would be met and tbe firm con
tinue In business.
It was uniformly admitted by 11 that if
the firm was compelled to make an Assign
ment and the assUnee to collect tbe assets
by process of law. It would be ft calamity
that would be far reaching in its elccts and
cause distress that would require years for
the community to recover from.
It was suggested that ft committee of
creditors be appointed by the chairman to
examine tbe assets of the bank and formu
late some plan for tbe adjustment ot the
suspended firm's affairs, to report at ft meet
lug to be held on Monday night. The sug
gestion was adopted and John Lloyd and
Webster Griffith, of Ebensburg, and John
W. Sbarbaugb. of Carroll town, were ap
pointed. Tbe meeting then adjourned to
await the action of tb committee.
On Monday evening tbe adjourned meet
ing was held and the committee reported
that after a careful examination of tbe af
fairs of tbe suspended bank, tbey found the
liabilities to be $235,814 39; tbe assets to be
$253,836.22; that the assets were all good
In fact, "gilt edged" and that tbe firm
held less than $250 worth of paper that
could not be realized upon.
Messrs. Johnston. Buck A Co. th6n made
the following proposition, which was tbe
best possible plan that bad been suggested
to them.
THE PROPOSITION.
The firm of Johustou. Back A (Jo. make
the following proposition to their creditors,
to take t fleet in tbe event of tbe plan of tbe
committee appointed at tbe meeting on Sat

est on this payment from January 1st, 1891.
The firm reserves the right to anticipate any
one of these payments, in whole, at their
ootion, upon ten days' notice to each and
every creditor.
The properties upon which it is proposed
to place the liens referred to are as follows:
100 lots of ground in Altoona valued at
$50,000, upon which there Is unpaid pur

and five lots ot ground in Ebensburg valued
at $8,500; one-talf interest In lot of ground
in Wilmerdlng valued at $1,250, making ft
total valuation of $86,400.
Johnston. Buck & Co.,
M. J. Buck,
A. W. Buck.
Tbe proposition was favorably received
and after some discussion it was resolved
that a committee of three, consisting of Geo
M Reade. Alyin Evans and M. D. Klttell,
Esquires, be appointed to draw np ft paper
for tbe signature of tbe creditors, accepting
the suspended firm's proposition. The
three gentlemen then retired to tbe law of
fice of Mr. Kittell, where a paper la a ceo i fi
ance with tbe proposition was drawn up
and on their return was signed by forty-five
of tbe creditors, Includlcg some of the
largest depositors, and nearly all who bad
remained In tbe house. On motion H was
agreed that tbe chairman appoint three gee
tlemen to act as trusters ftnd plaintiffs in
tbe judgments or mortgages to be confessed
by the firm, for the purpose of placing. tbe
real estate of the firm In bands ot the
trustees for tbe security of tbelr creditors.
Tbe chair appointed Messrs. John Lloyd
and Webster Griffith, of Ebensburg, ftnd

trustees to be named in tbe bonds ftnd mort
gages. Messrs. Alvin Evans. M. D. Kittell and

Th Mrrlja TireaU Jail.
S fXMEKSET. Ta November 30. Joseph
and David Nicely, who were under sen
tence of death for tbe murder of Herman
TJmberger. in tbls ronnty. In February,
1889. broke Jail at 7 o'clock Saturday even
ing and escaped, with two other prisoners.
Tbe escape was effected by sawing locks
from the cell door and from ft door leading
from the attic, where a bole was made
through the brick wall. Tbe prlsocera
reached the ground by means of a rope ta
ken from a hammock In their cell. Tbey
bad been gone fifteen mlntoes before the
alarm was given. Searching parties were
organized at once, and are now scouring t
the country. Oa account of the darkness
tbe criminals may reach tbe mountains ftnd
escape.
The escape Is attributed to carelessness,
as the Jail is ft new one. mad of steel, and
could not be broken if properly locked. An
old man. named Queer, wbo was confined
in the Jail on a charge of arson, attempted
to follow the Nlcelys down the rope and
fell fifty feet to the ground, breaking bis
leg Id two places. Hia cries gave tbe
alarm.
Tbe citizens assembled In the court house,
and. In ft few minutes, subscribed ft large
sum to defray the exnenses of the search
and rewards for the capture of the fugi
tives. No definite clew has yet developed.
Tbe NIcely-TJmberger rase is one of the
most famous of recent years In Western
Pennsylvania. Ilerman Umberger was an
ftged. and wealthy farmer, who bad no
confidence In banks, and was known to
have a large sum of money bidden In bis
bouse, on ft lonely road near Ligonler.
One night, nearly two years ago, two men
called at the bouse whec TJmberger, bis
aged wife, a domestic and little girl were
tbe only occupants. A demand was made
for money, and, when It was refused, TJm
berger was shot, the women and child were
overpowered ftnd $30,000 In cash carried
away.
The Nicely brothers, sons of the wealth
iest farmer In Somerset county, were ar
rested for the crime, and convicted on evi
dence that was strong, although entirely
circumstantial The Supreme Court sus
tained tbe lower Court, and since then the
fight for their lives has ben before the
Board of Pardons. Tbe last appeal was
made at the last msetlng, and tbe Board
decided not to Interfere.
Nearly year ago the Nice lys broke Jail,
after almost killing tbelr keeper. They
were recaptured aud sent to Indiaca count?
for safe-keeping until a new Jail could be
built in Somerset county. This was com
pleted only a month po. nd they were
confined in it but short time.
Two or the Nicelys' relatives were la the
town yesterday, and It Is supposed they
bad helped frcm outside. A reward of
$300 for their recapture has been offered.
