PHILADELPHIA, July 30.-A bill in equity was
filed in the clerks office of the U. s. circuit

Philadelphia and Reading company, setting
forth that in the conduct of the bnsiness of the
railroad and coal and iron companies various
sums OF money have become due from large
number OF persons for freight and tolls for coal
sold. etc, the payment of whidl has been re-
fused. An order is asked for authorizing the
institution of legal proceedings .or the recovery
of the money due Judge Butler received the
form of decree presented and held the matter
under advisement In the exhibits attached to
the petition it is shown that the receivers have
paid SAC, ,6S0.22 assessed by the state as tax
against the company upon the gross receipts
from January /. 1880. to May a. 1880,
but that they have not paid two other
sums of $12, $500 and 81 1882, respec-
lively, having been advised by counsel that
neither the company nor the receivers are
chargeable Herewith. The court is asked that
inasmuch as claims have been fled in several
counties of the state, and are alleged to be liens
upon the property of the company, and as the
said sums if DUE would bear interest at the rate
date of settlement, the court shall direct the re-
ceivers how to act in the premises.
