stock or anything else for his land.
Organization Of the Company.
The Wyoming Manufacturing COM
pany was organized on July s, 1873, un-
der an act of the legislature passed
March 81, 1873. providing for the IN
corporation of iron and steel manufac-
turing companies. only two compa-
nles were incorporated under this act,
as II was soon repealed. one or these
companies was the Wyoming Manufac-
turing company. the incorporators OF
which were John Handley, j. II. Camp
bell and William Schull,of this city.
and Joseph ]. Read. of Danville.
The company. 1t appears, never did
any business herea bouts. and Mr.. Schuli
saws that SO far as he knows, only S'5O
was paid into the treasury, SI5 by MIN
and $75 by j. IL. Campbell. After the
deeds for the Blakely land were turned
over to the Wyoming Manufacturing
company they remained in the posses
sion of John Handley, its president, for
number of years. They were then
recorded, and some time later Mr..
Handley entered up notes given to him
by his Wyoming Manufacturing COM
pany. and they became first liens on the
Blakely coal land
n htl hAAn sold
Sept u last to satisfy these notes, but
Attorney Hamilton, on the morning OF
the sale, secured a stay on the ground
that his client. Mr.. Schulz Is and has
been since its organization. director
and an officer Of the wyoming Manu-
featuring company, and is acquainted
with all its authorized acts. That at
no meeting was any person or persons
authorized to give the note upon which
the execution was issued or any note
in favor of John Handley or Of any
other person nor to agree to any revival
of any note. This was only one of Il
number Of reasons advanced why the
execution should be stayed.
Argument win he Heard Today.
In staying the sale the court granted
rule to show cause why issue should
not be granted to determine the validity
OF the three judgments held by the ex-
ecutors Of Judge Handley against the
Wyoming Manufacturing company, and
on which executions against the Blake
ly land were issued. This rule will come
up in court today for argument.
II was also Sc: forth In the reasons
why the sale shouId De stayed that

to Mr.. Schulz. This bill has been hled
