Death of Col. John R.
Ashe.
Col. Jno. K. Ashe died in YorkviHe
on Monday night lust. The follow
ing very correct account, of iho unfor
tunate occurienoo is given by the
York viHe Knquirer :
"Allhough iho fact was not defi
nitely known until a few days ago,
Mr. Ashe had been in increasing fi
nancial troubles for two weeks or
more. IHr recent trip North. oaten
Hibly to buy goods to stock tho big i
dry poods store that was recently
erected upon the company's grounds, i
was really for the purpose of making'
financial arrangements to meet cer
tain notes that are about to fall due,
and to procure money with which to
continue the operations of the mill
until the yarn maiket regained its
normal condition.
?'When Mr. Ashe left Yoikville the
idoa of failure did not ejiier into his
remotest calculations. Ho felt sure
that the needful financial arrange
ments would be made \yith ease, but
as one afier another of ti e yarn men
npon whom he was counting declined
to give the desired aid his hopes
sank lower and lower until ho was
completely unnerved. lie returned
to Yorkvido in a state of nervous
and mental co'lapso that was Indeed
pitiable. Until this time tho direc
torn of the company were rfiot fully
acquainted with the situation.
"At a meeting called for the pur
poee lftst. Saturday 3\Ir. Ablui rx
plained (1)0 mili'd embarrassment.
|TLe story in hrief was l<> tho effect
that there was about seventy thous
and dollars' indeb'odness in round
numbers. Tin's included forty thous
and dollars' worth of machinery, but
recently received but not yet in op
eration, but which gave no caune for
concern, becauf-e tho crodit of the
mid was perfectly good with tho peo.
p!e from whom it had been purchas
ed. In addition to this there was
duo somo twenty three thousand dol
lars for warehouse cotton thut had
boon spun and sdld and the proceeds
diverted to jVermauent improve
ments, the big store buildings, cot
tages, etc. This money, under the
tertiyi of tho contract with the ware
bouse people, belonged to tli^m. aodj
it* diversion had been unauthorized.
Then again. there was ? note of sev.
cn thousand dollars, f a I 1 i
dne during tho present month, sVnd,
although the books of tho company
showed .assets to the Amount of
#250,000? there was no money , on
hand with which to meet pressing
needs V

the director* and he showed them
