Kahn ASSIGNS.
A Good Merchant In Difficulties.
When the announcement was made
on the street yesterday that A.
Kahn’s house one of the leading re-
tail dry goods houses of this city was
in difficulties a surprised and regret-
ful feeling was very generally mani-
fested. This house had a well estab-
lished reputation and was considered
one of tne heavy and substantial
houses of the city and the filing of
articles of assignment with the coun-
ty clerk was a surprise to the street.
The assignment recites no particu-
lars but places assets and liabili-
ties and states that the assignor is
indebted in various sums that he is
unable to pay. Assets are given at
$25000 liabilities at $35000 and I.
Efron is named as assignee. His
bond was fixed by Judge King at
$20000. Immediate causes of failure
are not stated and neither Mr. Kahn
nor Mr. Efron are ready to give par-
ticulars. A full schedule of liabili-
ties and assets will be filed as soon
as practicable. This failure has call-
ed forth the sympathy of the commu-
nity in which Mr. Kahn has been do-
ing business for the past ten years.
The Light sincerely hopes that Mr.
Kahn may so manage his affairs as to
continue business In this city.

Lansing Mich. August 7.—ln
1884 Geo. Barnhart a well-known
and well-to-do citizen of Branch
county was accused of criminal as-
sault and was convicted and owing
to popular clamor was sentenced to
prison for life. His property was dis-
sipated his wife died and his family
have been scattered over the coun-
try. Barnhart has suffered his impris-
onment uncomplainingly and re-
cently a movement was set
on foot looking to his par-
don. The more thoroughly the
matter has appeared the more ap-
parent it became that the man was
unjustly convicted. Nearly every-
body in the county has signed a pe-
tition for his release. The boara of
pardons made exhaustive research
and are convinced he is being un-
righteously punished. Yesterday
Gov. Luce extended an unconditional
pardon to Barnhart who goes out
into the cold world again without
money family or property.

MARGARET KENDAL
THE GREAT ENGLISH ACTRESS.
While cultivated people iu England
are bidding Mrs. Kendal good-bye
Americans appreciative of great his-
trionic ability are anticipating the
treat in store for them when the ac-
tress who is described as “the most
conscientious artist on the English
stage” will be seen on this side the
Atlantic. Impersonations by Mrs.
Kendal exemplify art that is intelli-
gent delicats ami sympathetic fin-
ished and natural. The actress in
private life is a fascinating and de-
lightful lady. She was born on
March 15 1848 at Great Grimsby
England the youngest of twenty-two
children born to the same father aud
mother. Thomas W. Robertson au-
thor of “Caste” was the eldest of the
blood to who she belonged. The fam-
ily had been on the stage for seven
generations before the advent of the
Robertson family of twenty-two chil-
dren. Margaret’s father was a law-
yer but he married a mate who dearly
loved the theatre and who placed
her darling little Madge on the boards
in the year 1852 before she* was five
years old. The first appearance of the
young actress in London was in 1865
when she played Ophelia aud Des-
demona but without particular suc-
cess. In 1868 however on her second
visit to the great town she made a
hit as Blanch Dumont in the “Hero
of Romance” She married iu 1869
Will Hunter Grimston whose stage
name was Kenda). The couple are
prosperous and lead in the produc-
tion of what is called the “modern
drawing room drama.”
LIQUOR MEN ELATED.
A Kansas Decision In Their Favor.
Special Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat.)
Leavenworth Kan. August 3.—
For some time past it has been the
custom of the marshal in this city to
refuse to accept anything but a cash
bopd from parties when arrested for
violating the prohibition law. This
was found to be a good method of
raising revenue for the maintenance
of the police from those engaged iu
the illegal liquor traffic and greatly
aided the enforcement of the law as
the 1 jointests”generally forfeited their
cash bond of $lOO and left the city for
fear of imprisonment. The action
of the marshal in refusing a good and
sufficient boud was bitterly complain-
ed of by the liquor mm aud they re-
solved to test its legality. Last night
John Davis was arrested by the po-
lice on the charge of selling liquor
and brought before the marshal
where he refused to put up a cash
bond of $lOO but offered a bond of
$5OO with approved security which
was refused and he was committed
to jail. This morning his attorney
began proceedings against the chief
of police under a writ of habeas cor-
pus to get him out of prison alleging
that a good and sufficient bond had
been tendered for his release. The
case was heard by Judge Crozier of
the district court sitting in chambers
at the city marshal’s office. After
hearing the case he ordered the im-
mediate release of Davis and said he
took the responsibility as Judge
of the district court to ap-
prove the bond offered by him.
During the hearing of the case it was
mentioned that there was an agree-
ment between the Police Judge and
Marshal to accept nothing but a cash
bond. He asked what the result
would be if he should agree with the
County Commissioners to accept noth-
ing but cash bonds from people who
are arrested. He answered immedi-
ately his own question by saying that
he would be promptly impeached
and that it would be right. The de-
cision of the Judge iu holding that
furnishing of a good bond would have
to be accepted in the future has
(greatly elated the liquor men who
lave been making a hopeless and
losing fight here lately.
