Atchison during the past few months by

and 1t is quite possible that steps will
be taken to have different receivers sub

The following special from Kansas city,
received this morning, shows the deplor-
able condition of the nance of the con-
Germ:
The papers in the Atchison receiver
ship have been filed by Clerk Sharret.
OF the United States Court at Kansas City.
The bill of the Union Trust Company
wds sworn to before a New York notary
on Thursday. Dec. p.
The bill states that the Company has
been dangerously near insolvency for a
year, and that for some months a re-
ownership has been known to be a
question Of a brief period.
The Company was so hard pressed for
money that on Aug. 8 the President Dor
rowed 100000 at Z per cent. from the
Union Trust Company to meet the i'm
mediate wants of the Company. The
Company has since been continually en-
barrassed for money. The Company has
neither repaid the loan to the Union
Trust Company nor the interest thereon.
The hill makes the entire floating debt
of the Company $500 900.
