ANOTHER sTCpgNpors RAILROAD Jon E1-
POSED Chicago, November 26.-In the case
OF the Gilman, Clinton aud Springfield rail-
road, which was yesterday placed in the
hands OF Il receiver, ii appears from evidence
that the actual cost OF constructing and
euuipping the road was about 81 900, 000,
while the Morgan Improvement Company
received for rendering this service about
100000. The Morgan Improvement Com.
pany WIS incorporated in Pennsylvania in
Muy, 1870. for The sole purpose Of construct.
ing this road. Il had capital OF 10000,
divided into ten shares Of $4,000 each.
Fourteen days alter its incorporation it ca
tered into the contract with the Gilman.
Clinton and Springfield Railroad Company.
The directors and the president OF the
road, who have been principally concerned
in letting the. contract to the improvement
company, are shown to have been let into it,
enormous profits for 4 merely nominal con.
sideratlou. 1t is also charged against the
railroad officials that they made ruuous
contract for the road with the Ba relay Coal
Company, Of which they owned Il three
quarter interest; that they made an unilw-
full lease Of the road to the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, and that in other re-
spects they were guilty of breach of trust.
