What the Police Found by Prospecting
in a Sewer.
Chief Rodgers and couple of officers
went fishing in a sewer in an alley be-
tween Seventh and Eighth, 2 and q
streets, to see if they could hook up a
woman named Carter, who was said to
have been missing for some time.
Some one had stated that the last seen
Of the woman she was engaged in a
wordy wrangle with James \. Scott, the
man whois charged with having swindled
Mr.. and Mrs. 5. Lomas, and the suspi-
cion was advanced that perhaps he had

ENGINEER GRIFFEYS DEATH.
An Inquest at Davisvi1Ie and a Pc
cuIfar Verdict.

An inquest was held at Davisville Sat
urday afternoon in the case of Engineer
Griffey, who was killed at that place
several weeks ago by jumping from
his engine just as collision took place
between his engine and another belong
ing to a freight train.
Evidence was adduced to the effect that
the conductor of the freight train went
down the track quite distance and sig
nailed Griffey to stop. The latter, how
ever, did not heed the signal, and the re-
suit was the fatal collision.
The Coroner's jury, despite this evil
dence, rendered verdict to the effect
that the collision was due to negligence
on the part OF those running the freight
train.

Failure of the Mccullough Iron
Company.

Company.
The announcement in the Balti
more papers on Tuesday morning OF
the failure of The Mccullough Iron
Co., was painful and startling reva-
lation to the majority of the people
OF this county who had learned to
consider this company as its most
important manufacturing industry.
From a detailed account of the
failure, or alleged insolvency of the
concern by the plaintiff published in
the american we make the following
extract.
The Fidelity Insurance, Trust and
Safe Deposit Company, trustee under
the will of Delaplaine Mcdaniel, by
S. Teackie Wallis, Henry C.Kennard
and Stephenson A. Williams, at
torneys, filed a bill in the United
States Circuit Court yesterday
against the Mccullough Iron Com
pany, asking for an injunction to re-
strain the further prosecution by it's
officers or agents OF the business of
the company. or in any manner dis
posing of it's property, and for a
receiver to wind up its affairs. The
plaintiff, which as executor represents
,002 shares of stock of the McCul.
Tough Iron Company, alleges it's in
solvency. The company was incor.
porated in Maryland on February 10
1855, and subsequently charter was
also obtained in Delaware under the
same name. and the two companies
united. The capital stock amounted
to $3.50, 1000, and the principal place
of business is in North East, Cecil
county. Md, with principal Office
in Philadelphia. 1t is alleged that
prior to the death of Delaplaine Nc
Daniel the business of the company
was prosperous, and that on January
|, 1885, the books showed surplus
of assets over all liabilities of $208,.
1873 SO; but that since his death it has
not been prosperous; that sheet steel
has taken place to a large extent Of
sheet iron, and that there is now no
demand for the sheet iron manufac-
tured by the company, except at a
price below the cost of manufacture,
and complainant AYERS that between
January l, 1885, and January |, 1892,
the apparent surplus of the company
has been reduced to $l26, 1855, and
that since January ! 1892. other
osses to the surplus have occurred,
rendering the company insolvent
The mills OF the company are as
follows: "Minquas" Wilmington,
pel.,l North East" .Charbon I"
"Charbon Farm" (all three at Mort
East, "West Amwell," Elkton.' and
"Octoraro," Rowlandville. These
mills, on the company's books. are
valued at $45s. 162 g; the trge value
it Is claimed. is $l7a,5OO The stock
on hand, by the hooks, is placed at
$l3l, 146.la; true value as claimed is
Sl04,9l690. The court, Judge Bond,
passed an order requiring the iefen.
dant to show cause, on or before
April 4th, 1892, why the receiver &c.,
should not be appointed. An iDjunc
ton was granted, in SO far as any
alteration of the book, Sc, was con-
cerned.
