IN A RECEIVERS HANDS
PASSES THE WHEELING BRIDGE AND TER
MINAL COMPANY.
President Brewster Appointed by the United States
COurt-Ths Company in Bad Way
financially - 0hsr News
From the Courts.

Some interest was caused In business
circles in this city, yesterday, when it
was rumored that the Wheeling Bridge
and Terminal Company had passed into
the hands Of a receiver, through an or
der of the United States Dftrict Court.
The rumor proved to be founded on
fact. 1t has been known for some time
that the company has not been making
any money, and has been pressed by its
creditors. This condition Of affairs has
given rise to o number OF interesting
rumors, connecting other roads with
deals by which the property os the Ter
minal Company will change hands. A
renewal Of these rumors may now be
expected.
When the United States Court opened
yesterday morning, one of the first mat
ters brouz zht up, was the complaint OF
the Washington Trust Company, OF New
York, through it's President, David NJ.
Morrison, who made affidavit that he
represented 1875 of the total issue of
1000 Of the bonds secured by the first
mortgage. He asked that Mr.. Brewster
be appointed by the Court as receiver
for the concern, as he has for some
time, in addition to being President Of
the Company, acted as its general man
ager, and is, therefore, more familiar
with the property than anybody else
who might be named by the Court.
The order of the Court gives the re-
ceiver the usual power in such proceed
ings. The property described In the
mortgage or deed OF trust, consists OF
the railroad and bridge Of said COM
pany, and the approaches, rights OF
wav, stock, ETC., etc. The receiver is
required to, within ten days, file a bond
| in the sum OF $40, 600, with two suretles,
| for the faithful discharge OF his duties.
He is also authorized to hold, manage
| and operate the said railroad and
! bridge, and to receive all the rents,
profits and incomes therefrom. The
receiver is ordered, as soon as he can do
so without injury to the property In his
hands, TO pay all the outstanding In
deotedness of the company, and is di-
rected TO deposit all money received by
him, either in the National or abe Peo-
pie Bank Of this city.
The reason assigned for placing the
affairs of the company In the hands OF
receiver, is because OF its failure to
pay the interest on the S2,000, 600 Of
bonds mentioned above. The first fall
ure occurred on June 1st, 1892, and for
each period OF six months since that
time. The bonds were issued Decem-
Der end, 1889, and are held principally
by the Washington company. Mr..
Brewster is In the city at present. He
will at once assume control Of the rail-
road, bridge, and other property Of the
Terminal Company, In the interest OF
the complaiDants, and the business Of
the road will continue as If nothing had
happened.

Colonel Fellows, the Tammany ora

Silently the Republicans watched the

Tucker bill. The Committee on Presl-

Congress also presented a resolution
asking the Committee on Rules to MAKE
a special order for the consideration OF
the bill. Then with a sigh Of relief the
House adjourned.

WEIGH, w. VA, September 20.-An
eloping couple from the head of Ground
Hog Creek, an obscure neghborhood In
this county, created considerable COM
ment at the depot here yesterday
morning. They were typical noun
taineers. decidedly ignorant OF the
world at large and its ways, but their
love was deep and they were deter
mined to be made man and wife in spite
OF parental objection and all other OBJ
stacles. They had travelled all OF the

lass OF eighteen named Carrie Coats.
being mounted upon small but diGni-
fed steer, while the prospective groom,
Sandy Johnson, about twenty-five years
of age, walked alongside OF his sweet
heart and the steer.
The couple were greatly disappointed
when informed that they could not get
license TO be married on account OF the
girl not being Of age; In fact, so cruel
and severe was the blow which tnls In
| formation inflicted that they sought
the privacy OF the ladies reception
room at the depot, where they en-
braced and each shed tears coplously
! for an hour or more.
Some one finally advised them to go
| to Bristol, Tenn, where the cere mony
could be performed without trouble,
and they accordingly took the afternoon
train for that point very much elated
over tee sudden turn OF affairs, and as
happy and loving as lovers could well
be. 1t being the first time they had
ever been on train they got on the
platform next to the engine and tried to
enter the mail car. but brakeman saw
them and steered them to seats In the
| first class car.
The little steer was provided for un-
til their return, and as "all the world
loves lover" score or more voices
applaudep them as the train pulled out
and they took with them many good
wishes and the hope that their matri-
monial sea will henceforth be calm and
blissful,

REMARKABLE POWERS.
Successful Tests Made by Prof Sundeen,
the Mind Reader.


Prof. Bror Sundeen, the Swedish
mind reader, who is at the Musee The
ater this week, called at the REGISTER
Office, in company with his business
manager, yesterday afternoon, and gave
some exhibitions Of his marvellous pow
ers. He performed some simple but re-
markabe tests, such as telling the
name or number ia the mind of the
subject, very successfully. The most
remarkable test, however, was finding
an article which was by re-
porter. A pin was taken to
the REGISTER press room, a
and placed under pile OF paper. The
Professor was then bindfolded, the re-
porter placed his fingers about his wrist,
and he led the way, directly to where
the article was concealed, aRd picked it
up.
Prof. Sundeen afterwards performed
the same feat, when the pin was taken
to a Market street business house. He
was so exhausted after each test that
could not speak. and his heart beat like
a trip-hammer. He will give an exhi-
bItion at FIVE O'clock this afternoon, at
the theatre, for number of newspaper
men.
