The Cleveland, Tuscarawas Valley
and Wheeling r. r. in the
Hands of a Receiver.

In the United States Circuit Court at
Cleveland, Judge Welker presiding, on
Monday, the Union Trust Company of
New York filed bill in equity against
the Cleveland, Tuscarawas Valley &
Wheeling Railroad Company, and pray
ing for the appointment of a Receiver
for the same. The bill, after describing
the property owned by the company,
charges that tue total Indebtedness of the
company, which is secured by mortgages
in all amounts to S4,SS0.000, net includ-
ing interest; and that the floating indebt-
sdness unsecured by lien is not less than
$4,000, not including interest. making II
total Indebtedness due and unpaid of
not less than $5 $4,000, not including
the rolling stock debt, which amounts to
$563,0 more. The bill further claims
that said railroad, including all its rights
and property, will not sell for an amount
equal to the Indebtedness, and that its
net income will not be sufficient to pay
the interest on the Indebtedness which
will hereafter accrue, and the petitioner
alleges that said railway company, in its
present condition, is entirely insolvent
and unable to pay its debts, and there is
danger under its present management
that the moneys arising from the income
of said road may be applied differently
from what it should be in reference to
the different liens.
The bill further alleges that it is nec-
essary that Receiver be appointed, to
protect the interests of all concerned
during foreclosure, and asks that the
road be sold as soon as practicable and
the proceeds distributed in accordance
with the priorities of the liens.
After consideration of the bill of
complaint, Judge Welker appointed Os-
car Townsend, the General Manager OF
the road, as Receiver, and he entered
into bond in the sum Of 100000, with
Selah Chamberlain surety, and immedi
ately issued his orders taking possession
of the road.
n Mr.. Townsend in answer to questions
! from reporter, said that the present
move simply meant that the bondholder:
] were unwilling to wait longer for the
interest on their securities, and stated
that the road had been in default will
its operating cost and interest on tn,
bonded Indebtedness since 1878. Tit
! Wheeling extension, he said, from
Urichsville to the Ohio river at Bridge
r port, opposite Wheeling, was more ex
F: pensIve and less remunerative than ex
pected, and the property has been strug
Cling under a heavy floating debt Will
with accruing interest. He said tina
(: it would not 60 into new hands, but tina
+ the bOndholders who have practical con
troll of the road, would retain it, and tha
r the move had no Significance as affectin
other lines.
