Direct liabilities are small, but indirect are said to be over half a million. NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-Among the nominal assets of Fouse, Hershberger & Co., mercantile agents, are $15,738 claims against branch agencies, which was offset by claims against assignors for failure to carry out their contracts. Fouse & Hershberger are still in Ludlow street jail, and there are seven orders of arrest out for Haring, the other partner, who has left the State. The assets here are small. Some of the local creditors contemplate taking proceedings to discover what assets are available in other cities, which are not covered by the assignment under the State law here. MANCHSETER. N.

Liabilities about $120.000; assets $80,000. NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-Kate Claxton, the well known actress, has gone into voluntary bankruptcy under her real name of Kate E. Lyon, and a warrant for her adjudication has been issued. The proceedings are taken in order to release herself from liabilities on a deficiency on mortgages held by her on behalf of her husband, Dave Lyon, and in which she never had any real interest, and from liability on notes made by her husband and endorsed by her. Her husband was discharged from his liability by going through bankruptcy last year. Liabilities are nominally $65,000, but of this amount she is directly responsible for only $6,100, the balance being joint liability with her husband. Assets are estimated at about $8,500, consisting of cash, ladie's wardrobe and theatrical paraphermalia. An injunction has been granted against the sehriff and Messrs. Drossy and Robinson, restraining them from taking any further proceedings towards collecting their judgments and claims and enjoining supplementary suits in the State courts.
