LIEUTENANT GORRINGR TAKES A HOPEFUL VIEW
OF ITS CONDITION.
A dispatch from Philadelphia published in
yesterdays TRIBUNE announced the appointment Of e1
Lieutenant GOrringe receiver Of the American Ship
building Company by Judge Mitchell, OF Philadelphia,
on the application OF the Bank Of New-York Last even
ing a TRIBUNE reporter saw Mr.. g. L. NJ. Barlow, the
counsel Of the company, who said "Mr GOrringe was
appointed receiver at the suggestion Of the paintf
in the suit, who thought that it would be for
the best interests Of the creditors OF the company
that the work the vessels which It Is building should
proceed under Mr. Gorrnges supervisor The companys
capital is $500 900. This found insufficient When
An attempt was made increase the capital the company
found itself to Its credit by stories which
were soat in this city which Mr. Gorrtnge says are
wholly unfounded So the vessels which are on
stocks completed the company viii be able to pay
all its debts and tho capital will be increased to
100000 or ssOO.OOO."
Mr.. Gorringe, who was found at his rooms at
late hour. said: "This suit in Philadelphia is
effort protect the creditors and patrons OF the com
pany. 1t would be suicidal for the stockhoders or
creditors to stop the OF the company ann lts

in his suit do not wish to question his motives In

taking OF contracts for other vessels the court Will
decide that later So far can the assets OF
the company abundant to pay every dollar Of ts In
debtedness II only given me and there Will not,
in my opinion be the slightest difficulty In raising All the
capital we may need after completed the vessels
in OF construction. The company at present
engaged in qudatng its indebtedness and viii continue
practicable though OF course there will be some
added expense because OF the restrictions under which
will be compelled TO work We look upon THIS move

To me EditOr OF The Trtoune
SIR: Allow me to protest against the express
sion you used in editorial in your Issue OF the eth when
you spoke of the Corning outrage resulting from the use
OF a wheel OF fortune church fair" That expression
is calculated convey the reader that 1t was
some Protestant church which was engaged in gambling
It is we-knOwn fact that Protestant Christians are Op
posed to gambling in every form and no gambling is al
lowed al their fairs while at the fairs OF Roman Catholic
churches it very common occurrence. The wheel OF
fortune was in at the fair OF Romsh church at
Corning and you should have stated it, and not cast
suspicion on churches by the manner IN which
you expressed yourself.
Ihave noticed that is getting to be quite common
practice among the newspapers when anything OF
pleasant nature Is to be published against church. that
II IL should happen be ROmish that fact Is Invariably
suppressed while should happen To be Presbyterian
or Methodist church, that fact IS made tho more CON
spcuous. Is that just Should church guilty OF @
wrong protected by suppressng It's name At the ex-
pense Of casting suspicion on innocent churchesi
Another practice OF the press II defsuter or rascal
happened 20 be member OF Protestant church, II Is
SO published and gOated whereas he happened to
be a member OF the Roman Catholic Church or member
OF no church ALL then that fact Is carefully suppressed
Is il possible that newspaper Is afraid OF losing some
votes by telling the truth at all tmesi Please excuse my
apparent harsh structures. A TRIBUNE READER
