The Rolling Stock Case

aken Out of Court-A Now Treasurer i'm
 F-Iace of Hurd.
 The Housatonic rolling stock case at adjourned until yesterday, has been withdrawn from court. The commit tee appointed to investigate the accounts has frished it's work. D. D. Morgan, who sold a large.amount of the stock and who brought a suit with others for an accounting of the stock, made 8 report yesterday.
 The board of trustees met yesterday morn ing and elected H. c. Cogswell treasurer in place of John Hurd. who resigned.
 Governor Ingersoll. of this city, was one of the prominent counsel for the sharehold- CTS. The report says in conclusion: We think we have obtained our object, as here with presented, and have therefore discon- tinued the suit. The property and affairs ot the company are managed by board Of trustees. We have caused two gentlemen whom we believe to be competent and reLla- ble to be elected new trustees. We have caused an arrangement to be made for the removal of the office of the asso- citation from the building and place of business of MT. John Hurd, so that the same shall be entirely disconnected from his private concerns. We have caused prop CT action to be taken to prevent the issuing of any additional shares of stock. We have caused action to be taken giving to the snare holders the right to elect new trustees 10 nli any vacancies in the board. We have caused the resignation of MT. John Hurd from the treasureaship of this association, ana that office to be filled by the appointment of 8 gentleman acceptable to us. From the examination of the DOCKS of this association made by the ex- pert before referred to, we ind that there are now about 96O share holders in this association. That there are now outstanding 27, 400 shares of stock. That the company had on the 27th day of May, 1884, l, GA box freight cars, and in un- collected earnings reported and cash, about S39, ,OOO. That the outstanding indebtedness of the association amounts to but a triiing sum- Other details were reported which are unimpoftant in this connection. So far we have thought best to go by the present suit, which necessarily directly affects the property of this asso- citation. We believe the new trustees will make more thorough and complete ex- animation, not only of all books of accounts, vouchers and rights of action, but also of the nature and actual condition of the prop erty of this association and of it's capacity of earning dividends, and make proper reports to the shareholders. We expect as an addi- tionaI result of this suit to have like ex- animation and charge in the management and organization of the other companies that have been attained in the Housatenic com DAnV.
