MRS. ELYNN,s PROPERTIES.
ReCeivcrshlp Question Probably to he Sub
mitted To-Day.

Mr.. Wyndham r. Meredith. Staples &
Munford. +. W. Christian, Esq, and Mr..
Putzell, Of New York. have been diligently
engaged preparing their answers 10 the
bills brought against the two city RAILWAYS
bv Hon. John s. Wise on behalf of the
Sprague Electric Company and others.
The work is prOdigious one and the
learned counsel have been at II day and
night since they loft Judge Fitzhugh's
residence day before yesterday.
They expect 20 be ready 10 sub
nit their papers 10 Judge Fitzhugh
at the Chancery-Court room at 10
o'clock A. NJ. to-day. The issue will
then be joined. and the chancellor
will in good time be able 20 determine
whether he will put the two street rail-
way properties into the hands OF receivers
or not but the two cases are by no means
similar. and a decision that Will apply TO
the City railway will not necessarily apply
to the Electric Line.

tinues her stay at the Exchange here. Her
presence here ls necessary SO that she may
advise with her counsel, and also that she
may sign any papers 20 which II is neces-
sary that her name should be attached as

WHAT THE FATHHR-IN-LAw SAYS.
The New York World Of yesterday sup
plemented It's Richmond special concern
ing this street-car litigation with the fol-
lowing local paragraph:
Theodore Moss the father-in-law and
intimate personal friend of the late Morris
y. Flynn. said yesterday t. q WOrd re-
porter that the claims now being pushed
against Flynn's estate would never have
seen the light If Flvnn had lived. These
r,,ar, ruara 1rp1ar olfyuaf1nug tO hlm SAID
Mr.. Moss, and. knowing how he was
crowded with business, presume upon ms
supposed lack of time TO systematic his
affairs. If the true story Of these attacks
on his memory was made public IT would
reveal the most startling ingratitudc OF
men who owe all they are 10 his j llberality.
In one instance liberty itself - due TO his
forbearance, q crime being hidden IN one
business transaction. The Richmond
street-ralway property am told, promises
20 bc very valuable"
Mr.. Moss is worth about two million dol
lars and is president of the New York
Board Of Electrical Control.
