I 1 COTTON MILL TRAGEDY m uicide of Presideut Ashe, of The York Cotton Mill. financial Embarrassment Loads to Aberration of Mia J?Leaven hie Bed in the Night and Throws Himself into a Well, Where He Was Drowned. forkrille Enquirer, 20th inst. Mr. ,1 K Ashe, president of the fork Cotton mills, and one of he leading citizens of Yorkville, ommit'ed suicide Monday night ?f this week, by throwing hims? If nto a well. He was impelled to he dreadful deed hy mental aberation that was caused hy the ti lancial embarrassment of the hitr ? -p* orporation over which ho has for evei:?l years psst heon tho preside g genius, and to the success of vb'ch his heart and mind were levoted. Although the fact was not defilitely known until a few days ago, dr. Ashe had been in increasing inancial trouble for two weeks or nore. His recent trip North, istensibly to buy goods to stock he big dry goods store that was ecently erected upon the company's grounds, was really for the purpose of making financial ar-angements to meet certain notes hat are about to fall due, and to procure money with which to con:inua the operation of the mill latil the yarn market regains its normal conditions. When Mr. Ashe left Yorkville, the idea of failure did not enter into his remotest calculations. He felt sure that ihe needful financial nrrungements would be made with ease; but as one after another of the yarn men upon whom he was counting, declined to give the desired aid, his hopes sank, loner and lower until he was completely unnerved He returned to Yorkville in a state of nervous and mental call apse that was indeed pitiable. I'ntil this time the directors of the company were not fully acquainted with the situation. At a meeting called for the purpose last Saturday, Mr. Ashe explained the mill's embarrassment. The story, in brief, was to the elTect that there was about $70,000 of indebtedness in round numbers. This included $40,000 worth of machinery but lucently received and not yet in operation; but which gave no cause for concern, because the credit of the mill was perfectly good with the people fro si whom it had been purchased. In addition to this, there was due some $23,090 for warehouse cot"?< ton that had l>een spun and sold; sad the proceeds diverted to per-* manent improvements?the big itore building, cottages, etc. This money, under the terms of the contract with the warehouse people, belonged to them, and its liversioa had been unauthorized. Then again, there was a note of 17,000 falling due during the present month, and although the woks of the company showed is?ets to amount of $350,000, here was no money on hand with vbicb to meet pressing needs. s ii M _ A ~L kuia ivi i.
