Southern Pine Forests in Danger.

1t is reported that the pine forests
of Raleigh, Webster and neighboring
counties of Virginia are in danger OF
total destruction through the ravages
of a small insect which has appeared
of late years, and is multiplying
rapidly, and extending the sphere oil
its destructive work. Professor O. u.
Hopkins. of the West Virginia Agri-
cultural Experiment Station, thinks
that he has discovered q remedy for
the pest. He spent some time last
summer in the Black Forest of Ger
many, and found there q small and
prolific insect, which feeds on the in
furious ones, and is not harmful to
tl.aber. He has imported several
thousand of them, and is now engaged
in distributing them in the sections
where the ravages of the pest are worst;
1t is to be hoped that his remedy wili
be successful. The destruction OF its
pineries would mean an incalculable
loss to the South. New Orleans Plea

JERSEY CITY, June II, 1894.
Editor of Jersey City Mems:
I notice an article in your issue today
under head ''The Iron Hall Squabble," which
does me an injustice all the way through.
DIR. Lampson and Arthur Barber ought
both be ashamed of themselves. Neither of
them lave ever said a word to me about
books, meeting or anything else, and for
them to go and say what they have about
me without any reason for it, l say they
should be ashamed of themselves. l don't
think gentlemen would do such things. l
am interested in the collection of equities
from the old funds as any one or two of
them and | see no cause for being alarmed
at losing my share if matters are settled up
as promptly as they are likely to be. Threats
don't disturb me one bit. Locking me up or
going before the Chancellor would not
change my course of duty in the matter. l
believe I've neglected nothing. A meeting
was decided ON by the full committee for
June 10, '94, at Masonic Hall, at which | have
every reason to believe all matters can be
settled satisfactorily and all the talk is
uncalIed for. Ihope you will give this as
much space as it requires and oblige,

The receivers of the we'll known New

picked a hornets nest when they came into
Chancery Chambers yesterday with a pc

proposition from a committee of stock
holders to reorganize the company by pur-
chasing the assets of the receivers for
$500, 600.
Ex-Governor Bedle, counsel for the pc
titioners, in making the application said that
the reorganiZing committee promise II the
permission be granted first to take care OF all
the outstanding leases of the firm; secondly,
that the committee will pay and assume the
debts of the receivership. and thirdly. that
the committee will pay to the receiver IN
cash 5000, 600 for the pro rata dividends.
The banking firm of Ernst and Company
of New York opposed the motion. Counsel
for the bank said that his clients OWN S23,-
500 preferred stock and 1854 common
stock in the Thuber- Wyland Company cap
ital of s., 5000, 900, and having such a stake in
the ompan counsel said that Messrs. Ernst
do not believe that the proposition to pur-
chase the assets from the receivers will pro-
tect the stockholders.
Other stockholders and creditors having
objected the Chancellor said that he would
wait until Judge Andrews in New York de-
cided on a similar motion by the auxiliary
receiver and then he would confer with the
Judge as to the New Jersey decision.
