Concern Thrown Into Receivership By Creditor*? Liabilities Alleged to be $1.250,000?Member of Firm Attribut?'* Failure to Long-Con tlnued Financial Depression. Atlanta, Ga., May 4.?A petition was filed in bankruptcy in the United States circuit court today by attorneys for the Atlantic Compress Company, the Gulf Culf Compress Company, J. C. Evans and C. R. Sims, against the firm of Inman & Co., of Augusta, Ga. It Is claimed that the liabilities of the firm are $1.250,000. The firm say their assets are about the same amount, j The firm of Inman & Co., of Au? gusta, is in no way connected with the firm of Inman, Akers & Inman, At? lanta, Ga., which has branches in Liverpool and Bremen. The firms of Inman, Nelms & Co., of Houston, Tex., and Inman, Swain & Co., of New York, are in no way connected with the firm of Inman & Co., of Augusta, and are in no way affected by the suspen? sion. Thomas W. Barret, Jr., of Augusta, was named as receiver by Referee Adams. The petition alleges that the firm is indebted to the Atlantic Com? press Company in the sum of $4,000; to the Gulf Compress Company, $11, 000, and $5,000 each to J. C. Evans and C. R. Sims. The present embar? rassment of the company, which was a member of the New York cotton ex? change, was attributed by one of Its members to the long continued de? pression In the cotton market and to the loss of one of Its leading mem? bers, Walker P. Inman, by death last November. It is believed that even? tually all creditors will be paid in full. Augusta. Ga., May 4.?The liabili? ties of the concern are scattered over the country, and probably to some extent In Europe. Several Atlanta banks held Its notes for sums of con? sequence, but none In Augusta. Those In authority decline to give details be? cause of the embarrassment It might cause, but they have assured the cor? respondent of the Chronicle that Au? gusta has escaped all except the prob? able loss of the company. The total indebtedness amounts to about $1. f 00,000. It is due chiefly to banks and is represented by notes and other collateral. Of the notes $450,000 bear the endorsement of the late Walker P. Inman. After his death, which occur? red at the beginning of the panic, the holders declined to renew them, and satisfactory securities necesary to con-, tlnulng" their life could not be ob? tained. The estate left by Mr. Inman Is fully sufficient to cover the amount for which it Is liable. It Is stated by the source from which the above was obtained that the assets represent on their face about $1,500.000, of which the greater I part is cotton or futures in cotton, I bought in the main at much higher I prices than those prevailing now. They depend upon the market for realisation, and should the market J Improve a large percentage of their face value might be turneM into mon? ey. However, present indications are foreboding as the officers of the com? pany claim practically no sales of cot? ton can be made at any price. The foreign markets are filled and the American mills have ceased to buy. The f Jture of the assets, a* viewed by those in close touch with the concern Is by no means assuring, and it is seriously doubted If they will meet ?more than a small part of the liabili? ties. CLEVELAND'S CONDITION. His Wife Gives Out a Statement That He Is Rapidly Convalescing?Other Indications. Lakewood, N. J., May 2.?That For? mer President Grover Clevolaa?l Is not so seriously 111 as published re? ports during the past week have de? clared him to be, was the assurance given to a representative of the press today.

It was added that Mr. Cleveland rose f.-tnn his bed last Thur<<la" and has since sat up during each day. For the present, Mr. Cleveland will remain in SSClnslon and deny himself t) all callers. This Intention, it was explained, is in furtherance ol a pre* arranged plan to give the distinguish* Sd gu?st a restful vacation in lieu uf his usual Southern trip.
