amined whose testimony showed great
looseness and irregularity in receiving

clusion OF the testimony of the last witt

argued thar sufficient evidence
had been produced to show irregularlty

CHIcAao, AFril 30. The Railway Age
to-day published list of 20 railroads
that have been placed in the hands of

1885, Tho total Of the capital stock and

the hsnds OF receivers at 81, euIbracing
LOS Jules, %l7 000, 600, capital and debt,
The firaL quarter of this year shows
more Than half as many roads, GOre
than 81 per cent. of mileage, and about
40per cent oftotal capital stock involved
by rsceiverships OF the entire preceding
year. Should the ratio for the remain

indicate greater aggregate railway IN
