This movement has been taken in antici

The bill In equity asking for the ap-

creditors and stockholders of the Rich
mond II Danville railroad company
and the West Point Terminal rail
way and warehouse company, who choose
TO become parties to the suit and con

seventy six thousand one hundred dol

taken in the interest Of the security
holders and for the purpose of prevent
ing such assaults as are now being made
In the form of judicial proceed
ure in the State of Georgia upon the
property of the Danville & Terminal
companies. The time of hearing this
application has been fixed by judge Bond
for August 16, thereby giving two
months for such negotiations as NAV be
necessary for re-organization of the
property, perhaps by Messrs. Drexel.
Morgan u Co. SO far as is known
here, neither member of the firm of
Drexel, Morgan & Co., had any knowl
edge Of these proceedings.
No doubt the appointment Of Messrs.
r. W. Huldekoper and Reuben Foster
as receivers of the Danville road will
give temporary shock to the holders of
securities in the Danville system. and in
deed, throughout the South. There can
be little doubt, however, that the ulti-
mate result will be very beneficial to
them. MIR. Oakman returned to New
1ork tonight. accompanied by Mr.
HWdekoper. He says that the general
offices of the Danvile railroad will be
removed to Washington as rapidly as
possible, and the accounting department
will be moved probably next Monday.
This will be good news to many of the
ofhcers and clerks The trip made by
Messrs. Crawford and Hudekoper with
general manager Green from Richmond
to Atlanta was the quickest on record
between those points, the $50 miles be-
ing made IN little over twelve hours.
