REFUSED A REoErvERsH1p.
The Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus
to Be Put Into Other Hands.

The Chattanooga, Rome and Colum bus
to Be Put Into Other Hands.
1t is not often the receivership Of a
corporation, especially where valuable
piece Of property is involved, is refused,
but such has been the case with the
Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus rail-
road, of which Messrs. n. NJ. Conner and
Robert j. Lowry were receivers, and will
be until their successors can be appointed
by the court.
Some days ago the bondholders of the
Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus railroad
filed a bill and instituted foreclosure pro-
eeedlngs on that separate property which
has been heretofore operated as part of
the Savannah Western railroad. The bill
was filed in the United States circuit
court in Atlanta, and when the matter
came up for hearing as to temporary ac-
ton the bondholders failed TO ask for a
separate receiver for the property The
court thereupon rendered the receiver
ship to Capt Lowry and Mr.. Conner, the
present receivers of the Savannah aud
Western.
After considering the matter, both Mr..
Conner and Capt. Lowry have refused to
accept tins receivership, and their an
swers are now on file in the circuit court
in Atlanta. Mr.. Conner was asked yes
terday why he and Capt Lowry had de-
clined TO act, but would only say they
thought it best for the security holders Of
the Central, the Savannah and Western
and the Chattanooga, Rome and Colum-
bus that there should be a separate re-
ceiver for that part OF the property.
The bondholders are probably going on
to foreclose their mortgage, and it is ex-
pected that they will at all early date
make some recommendation to the court
OF some person to act as receiver for that
property. There is said to have been
some friction between parties concerned,
caused by some arbitrary action of the
bondholders, which was the cause Of the
refusal to act on the part of Receivers
Conner and Lowry 1t is not known just
whom the bondholders will suggest to
the court to act.
