Messner Has a Poor Excuse,
The creditors of G. Messner met on
Wednesday afternoon, Deo. 30th, in the
largest place in the village of Formosa,
the school house. Three hundred people
were present, from all parts of the oonn-
try, some having walked, others having
driven many miles, to look after their
hard•earned dollars. There were menet
helpless old men and women among them.
Mr. Messner, who Is himself an old,
feeble -looking man, has nut an impres.
sive appearance for such an extensive
business man. He addressed the exoited
crowd in German, and spoke for half an
hour. He then made his explanation in
English.
The money be had received from his
creditors, he said, had been used for
general purposes in hie business. The
money realized from the business and the
deposits had not been kept separate.
Some money had been in his hands from
ten to fifteen years, the papers being oc-
casionally renewed, and the interest paid.
Mr. Messner said that some suspected
him of putting money away for future
use, but he had not put a cent aside for
himself.
WHERE TOE MONEY WONT.
When his brother retired from the
business in 1880, it was worth $80,000.
The present shortage was great, but he
bad recently suffered terrible losses. In
the brewery alone $20,000 had been lost ;
he had not made this known, as he hoped
to pull through. He bad lost $10,000
through his brother in Manitoba, and
had paid the letter's debts in Toronto
and Winnipeg. He had sustained au -
other loss in the Merritton cotton mills,
but, in answer to a creditor, he aoknow•
ledged that it was only 9500. Believing
that his present property would not pay
his creditors, he had insured his life for
$65,000. He had enough money to pay
interest 00 deposits. Much of his money
had gone in unwise speculations, and the
support of poor institutions. If the
creditors gave him two year's extension
of time, they would be paid, if not, they
would get nothing.
When questioned, Mr. Messner admit.
ted that the insurance policies were pledg-
ed to the Canada Life for premiums and
for borrowed money, Furthermore, he
did not know bow mach be had borrow.
ed. He had used depositor's money to
carry on his own business.
INSPECTORS °E ESTATE APPOINTED.
Alex. Shaw, Q. C., of Walkerton, who
represented the Merchant's Bank and
other creditors, criticized Mr. Messner
very strongly, for the statements he had
just made, especially in trying to lead
the creditors to believe that he had lost
heavily in the Merritton mills, when his
loss was trifling. 14Ir. elessuer, he said,
was incapable of managing bis affairs,
and that it would be sheer noosenoe to
leave him in charge of the business, Be.
cause of the dilapidated condition of the
business, Mr: blesener, to continue it,
would have to obtain further advances
from else banks to carry ib no. Further
security given Wonid rob the creditors of
everything. Mr, Shaw suggested that
inspeotore be appointed and that the
books bo examined.
Matters. Phillip Weishardt, Neter
Kubry and J. W. Fischer were appointed
imspectors.
Mr. Messner will be examined under
oath before the oonnty judge.
The meeting wee adjourned until
January 3.4th. In the meantime the
assignee, E. G. Kuntz, and the inspect.
ore will tboronghly examine the estate.'

The ineuranoe polioiss are for 005,000,
but it is impossible to place a value upon
Aleut.
The liabilities are :—Notes, 02,700 ;
accounts due wbolesale houses, 92,800 ;
cash deposited, estimated 965,000 ; a
total of 970,000. Shen the Bank of
Commerce has it claim for $12,500, and
the Meroltentte Batik for about $1400 ;
but these banks neem to bo seeared. On
aaoount of the mortgages on the property,
however, the aeeete oannot be considered
as being worth anything like their face
values. Some of the insurance polioiee
are so drawn as to pay dividends every
five years, and Mr. Messner has already
received some of these. One of the
oreditors pointed out that these polioses
might have a ossh valve, as Mr. Messner
was an old man.
