Hon. ID. NJ. Sabin, and ID. ii. Hyde, of
Boston, are in the city, the latter being
the legal advisor of the ThreSher COM
pany, under whose direction the papers
necessary to the transfer TO that COM
pany of all the property and effects of
the late Northwestern Manufacturing II
Car company are being prepared. Mr..
Hyde informed the GLOBES representa-
tive that it was only a matter of mere
clerical work now, which, as soon as
completed, would De all that was neceS-
Sary for the actual transfer. This will
take place to-day, when +. s. Brown,
the court receiver, will surrender the
stewardship he has held for over three
himself as well pleased That the eX-
tended litigation, which has so
long held this great manufac
turing concern in check, was at
an end and that those who had faith in
ii and were willing to put their means
into it would now be allowed to do so
without restriction. The thresher com
pany would begin an active campaign
at once and the works would be oper-
ated for what they were worth. MI.

many which were really against him.
