I'm A RECEIVER HANDS
Financial Troubles of the New
York and New England Road,
EX-SENATOR THOMAS @, PIATT
Chosen by tho Court ns Temporary Re-
coiver Of the Company-President Nc
Leod Intimates That the Receiver viii
Not Continue in Control.


Not Continue in Control.
New YORK. Dec. 2s-The New Eng
land railroad after very troublesome
( career, has passed into the hands of a re
oeiver The application was made to
I Judge Wallace in the United States court
/ nt Albany The court appointed ex-Sen-
Z ator Thomas c.. Platt as temporary re
I Geiyer. MIR Platt is one Of the directors
/ of the company
The appointment caused virtually no
/ surprise, as it was well known that defin-
| tie steps looking to such a result had just
| been taken. 1t is said that conference
was had at the Fifth Avenue hotel Tues
day night, and that at q late hour the
determination was reached to ask for
receiver. The conferees. it is claimed
were Thomas G. Platt and F, n. Prince,
directors of the New England company;
A. b. Boardman and Frank II. Platt, Of
the law firm of Tracey, Platt & Board
man, and some capitalists interested in
the securities of the company.
Thomas G. Platt, when questioned about
| tins report, referred the inquirer to the of
iicers of the New England company forall
information Mr. Platt admitted, how
ever that there was some truth in the
story referred TO.
One of the capitalists who attended the
conference at the Fifth Avenue hotel was
more frank than Mr.. Platt He said that
as matter of fact the alleged conference
was really little meeting of the commit
tee appointed some time ago to raise the
money required by the company to pay
the interest due on Jan. l. The sum of
200, 900 was required for that purpose,
ana the committee had been unable to
secure IL. Ihe responses to the appliCa-
Clon ol the committee had been very slow,
Under the circumstances, therefore, it
was necessary that an application should
be made for a receiver for the road. IL
did not follow, however, that the applica-
ZION would be lnlmlcal to the interests
represented by Mr.. Mcleod, although it
was not believed that Mr.. Mcleod now
held any more stock than was necessary
to qualify him as director and president
OF the company.
A meeting of the stockholders of the
New England company was held yester-
day afternoon to vote on the question of
ratiiylng the lease to the New England
Railroad company of the New York,
New England and Northern railroad,
President Mcleod was present and made
statement, explaining what had been
done since his connection with the road
as its president. The voting on the ques
tion OF the lease will be continued this
afternoon, when it is expected that suf-
tcient votes will be received to ratify.
1t was while the voting was going on
that the announcement was made that
Mr.. Platt had been appointed receiver.
Mr. Mcleod took the appointment of
receiver good humoredly, apparently,
When told that representative of the
petitioners for receiver had said that no
allegations had been made against his
management but that the appointment

cause. This is chargable to the rail

been a cent mile. This would have
over taxed the capacity of the roads;

PUBLISHED THURSDAYS.
Official Paper Of County and VILLAGE
The Reciprocity Convention.

\ convention is now being held in
st. Paul, which for permanent benefit
to the country far outweighs the noisy
Hill Celebration or even the Worlds
Fair. 1t is composed of representa-
tive business men of the u. S. and
Canada, and is designed to create o
more perfect commercial union
between the two countries for their
mutual good.
We don't know what this present
convention may be able to effect; but
it is the beginning of the end; and
the end will be the union of both
countries under one flag, as they
ought to be. This work will require
time. Barriers must be burned away;
old prejudices must be uprooted;
narrow isms and schisms must be re-
moved. The aristocracy will die
hard. The idea of royalty is inter
woven in the Canadian life, and it
will take time to remove it. The
French Catholics of Lower Canada
may object because their church
would lose the State support, which
any church would grow better with
out. The Orangemen will kick be-
cause they would have to change the
Union Jack for the Stars and Stripes.
But the greater United States of the
future win come, and will sail on
without becoming a nursing mother
to either one or 'tother.

The Comptroller of the Currency
read the riot act, SO to speak, to one
E. A. Mears, who was president of
two North Dakota national banks
which failed May 20, and which has
been conducted on the Zimri Dwig-
gins plan. Mr.. Mears came to
Washington this week to inform the
Comptroller that his banks would
resume business in few days. But
they won't, The Comptroller says
they shall not, and in the control of
National banks he is supreme. The
reason for this decision of the Comp
troller was shat the banks in CUES
ton has been used to give financial
standing and credit to concerns
when did not deserve it. Mr.. Mears
thought he bettered his case by say
ing that there We're lots of National
banks on worse basis than his, but
he didn't. The Comptroller told him
that the argument was no good; that
all such banks would have to go as
fast as they could be got at, and that
such methods would not be sanction
ed by the department. AS if that
were not enough to take all the
starch out of Mr.. Mears, the Comp
troller added that Mears would not
be allowed to resume any national
banking operations and that no nat
ional bank would be chartered with
which he was known to be associated.
Mr.. Mears may again become a
banker, but not national banker.
