ELKToN, Mn. Feb. ia bill was filed
in the circuit court here to-day by Bernard
Carter of Baltimore, representing Henry
Whitley of Philadelphia, asking for re-
ceivers to take charge of the Mccullough
Iron Co.'S property in Cecil county. Judge
Wickes signed the decree and appointed as
receivers the Girard Life Insurance An
nuty and Trust Co.. and Henry Whitley
of Philadelphia. Each were required to
give bonds In the sum of $3.50, 900, which
they did.
MIR. Whitley stated to-day that he did
not think that the company's affairs
would be long in the hands of receivers
and that the creditors and stockholders
would not lose any money; also, that the
work OF rebuilding the burned portion of
their North East mill, which has been
under way for some time, would be COIN
pleted and the works operated, and, also
that the appointment of receivers did not
mean that the company was actually in
solvent. He admitted that the affairs from
various reasons are badly tangled up, and
this was deemed the best way to straighten
them out.

Manage tho Affairs of the Concern
The Girard Trust and Annuity Co., of
Philadelphia, and Henry Whiteley also OF
Philadelphia, wereiast week appointed by
Judge Wales receivers for the Mccullough
Iron Co., which has works in this city, and
at RowlandsvilIe aud Northeast, Md. .
The action was taken at the instance OF
Benjamin Nields, attorney for Henry
Whiteley, a member of the firm, who
made application to the United States cir
cult court that the receivers be appointed.
The receivers Immediately after their ap-
pointment each filed bond amounting TO
100000.
The mills will continue to be operated,
unless the receivers decide otherwise.
A representative of the company was
seen by GAZETTE reporter OH Thursday
morning and said that the company was
not insolvent, but that the action was
taken as the hest means of raveling out a
tangled up affair. 1t appears that for some
time the directors of the company, Messrs.
Mcdaniel and Harvey, have been unable
to agree concerning the management or
the business of the concern and that the
present step was made necessary.
The company has an office in Philadel-
phia, but the main works are in this city
and at Northeast and Rowlandsville The
product of the company is sheet iron of
every description.

The storm Sunday was the cause OF a
deplorable accident which resulted in the
death OF two persons and the serious
freezing OF n child.
The victims are Mrs. Ferdinand Near
ing and her five year old girl and the
story OF their death is substantially as
follows:
When the storm arose, the fierce wind
blew down the chimney, causing the
house to fill with gas and, instead OF re-

attempted to go to her relatives, the
Blochs, who live in the Northeast part
OF the city, taking the four children with
her.
This happened in the forenoon and al
though the distance was short, she be-
came lost and for four terrible hours they
were exposed to the fury of the blast.
Finally, when the mother could go no
further, the Oldest boy left her and went
to Blocks and procured help.
But it vas too late!
The mother was enceiute and unable to
endure the exposure which was enough
to appall the strongest, and, although
everything was done that could be, the
mother was dead when found and the
little girl soon followed.
Two OF the children escaped practically
unscathed but the little two year old boy
is quite severely frozen although not
dangerously.
The case is particularly sad from the
