GREENRUT REMOVED.
Whisky Trust President Scored by Judge
Grosscup for Accepting Receiycrship.

Chicago, Feb. An the United States
circuit court. this morning, Judge Gross
cup removed Joseph Greenhut from the
receivership of the Whiskey Trust and APP
pointed John G. McNulta and John j.
Mitchell to act with Mr.. Lawrence. In de
livering his opinion, Judge Grosscup,
said: 1.-THE admissions in this case dis
close that Mr.. Greenhut at the time of
appointment was under agreement upon
the New York stock exchange to deliver
upon demand 10, 900 shares of stock Of
the company and that he was not the
possessor of any. in such a situation he
could have but one personal interest, as
every appreciation of the stock amounted
to large cut into his personal fortune.
AS receiver his duty would be to con-
serve the property and enhance its value
as private individual his interest was to
depreciatc its value. Under such circum-
stances his acceptance of the receivership
was simply an imposition upon the court.
l am determined SO far as possible to have
a searching inquiry into the affairs of this
company.
Bonds for the receivers were fixed at
$780, 600.

THE CRATHIE'S STORY.
Captain Thinks He Did Everything
Possible Under Circumstances.
Was Badly Damaged-Thousht Elbe Stood BY
to Render Assistance.

London, Feb. 4-Mr Mofftt, owner of
the steamer Crathie, has returned TO his
home in Aberdeen from Rotterdam, where
he has been making inquiries in regard to
the collision of his ship with the Elbe.
Mr.. Moffatt says that the charge that the
Crathie steamed away Immediately after
the collision is untrue
The Crathie was so seriously damaged
that it was feared that she would sink.
Her captain thought the other steamer
was standing by to give the Crathje assis-
lance, should she require it. The whole
of the forecastle of the Crathie was torn
away and was hanging alongside, threaten
ing to knock "a hole in the side of the
vessel. A large hole was actually made
in the bows.
AS soon as the captain got the wreck
age cleared away, he steamed back to the
spot where the collision occurred and re-
manned there until daylight The last he
saw of the other ship she was burning red
lights, and he thought she had gone in
the direction of London.
The captain, Mr.. Moffatt says, is con
WINGED that he did everything possible
under the circumstances The captain
and crew, of the Crathie are detained at
Rotterdam pending the official inquiry.

city of Biddeford, praying for the abolish
ment of the Office of constable In the city
of Biddeford.
Mr. Prescott said that since he had
called the attention of the Senate the other
day to the remonstrances put in against
this matter, he had examined them and
found them to he even more of misrcpre-
sentation than he had then thought them
to be. They purported 20 represent 5000
people of the city of Biddeford but in
reality they only represented 400 voters
of that city. This was matter of fact,
and not of guess work, as nc had had the
petitions compared with the books of the
city assessors. He presented here TO thu
Senate petitions representing over 60t
voters of Biddeford and representing oven
three and half millions worth of The
taxable property of that city. He said that
the petitions on this matter were quite as
remarkable for what they did represent as
the remonstranccs against it were for what
they did not represent.
