MOVEMENT AGAINST MCLEOD.

An Effort VIII be Made to Have
Him Removed From the Re-
ceivorship.
New York, March 9.-Reliable
information here is that an effort
is to be made to have A. A. Mcleod
removed as one of the receivers of
the Philadelphia and Reading rail-
road. One of the charges against
him is that instead of buying control
of the Boston and Main and the New
York and New England railroads for
the personal account of himself and
associates, the stock acquired was
paid for out of the funds or with
the securities of the Reading COM
pany.
The report of the Reading receiv-
ers is awaited with interest to find
out whether the $4,000 shares of
Boston and Maine and the 10000
shares of New England, which were
purchased, are still retained or were
thrown overheard in the collapse of
the Reading affairs.
