NOT A FAILURE.
The President Of the Howe Scale Cons
pany Makes n Denial

Ex.Gov. Page, president of the Howe
Scale company, said to Tribune reporter:
"Therc is absolutely no truth whatever in
the statement that receiver has been APP.
pointed for the Howe Scale company. The
company has disputed claim in this city
for 500. The corporation being non-resi-
dent, your laws require that receiver shall
be appointeu who shall act as custodian of
any moneys collected from the sale of the
company's property in this State, if any
there should be, as there is not. In
the summer of 1888, the treasurer of
the Rutland railroad company, of which
| was the president, became a de-
faulter in the sum of nearly $780, 900 A
fight among the stockholders of the railroad
company followed, new board was elected
and | retired from the presidency. My own
credit was attacked by enemies, and this
fact together with the general distress in
business, compelled me to go to friends for
all in the interest of the Howe Scale C1mpa-
ny. A loan was effected, tor which ample
security was given, and everything is now
going on in regular, legitimate way. Every
Just claim against the company is paid as 1t
natures, but this claim of 500 is not legiti
mate and we ARE simply defending our
rights. The story that receiver has been
appointed for the conduct of the general af.
fairs of the company is untrue, and is put
forth with malicious intent"

GRAND ISLE COUNTY,

The clse of the State VS.. the Snydcrs,
father aud son, came up for trial here Tues
day. The prisoners, very respectable look
ing men, were exposed to the gaze of the
curious ID the Town hall, several hours,
while the lawyers, pro and con set
tied the case in their rooms at the hotel.
Brown and Stafford appeared on the part OF
the State, and Ladd and Adams on the part
of the defendants. II was sort of public
holiday. Great disappointment was the
result when it appeared that the LAWYERS
had agreed upon terms of settlement The
elder Snyder was released and the younger
rcmanded to the jail, not having the means
to meet hisliabiities just then. 1t is sup
posed that the father has returned to West
ern New York to get funds to pay up tho
costs, and bail bis son. The display of re
volvers on the part of the younger Snyder
was the most serious feature of the case
although it Is doubtful whether anything
more was intended than to inspire terror il
the palpitatlng breasts of those concerned il
the attempt at arrest.
