The Road Granted Twenty Days in
which to Pay Its Default.
Jacksonville, Fla, Dec 27.-In the case
of the Pennsylvania Company for the In
surance of Lives and Granting Of Annui-
ties vs.. the Jacksonville, Tampa and Key
West railroad. a final decree of foreclosure
was announced by Judge Locke of the
United States court, this morning, de-
claring the bonds sued upon Ito the ex-
tent of S1,S76,5OO and 12,SSS.27 accrued in
teresD to be due, and ordering the sale
of the road by Special Masters Charles S.
Adams and Dennis Eagan, If within twen-
ty days the amounts due shall not be paid.
The amount sued for was Sl.7S4, 600 and in
terest. but the amount allowed was ST.,
376 800 with SSH, 1882 interest, bonds to
the extent of $S74,OOO being disallowed, 1t
having been found that the notes for
which these bonds had been deposited as
collateral had been substituted for notes
of the Florida Construction Company,
without any evidence being submitted ex-
planning such use, or showing that the
substitution was for a legal indebted
ness.
The disallowed Indebtedness was for
certificates for other than operating ex-
penses issued by Mason Young of the
American Construction Company, as re-
ceiVer. OF the disallowance, the Chat
ham National Bank and Salem National
Bank of New York and local banks and
other persons are holders. Reviewing
Mr.. Youngs receivership, Judge Locke
said: Although Mr.. Young was connect
ed with the American Construction Com
pany, yet il was not considered that his
actions in the operation of the road
should be judged by any other rule than
that which would have been applied to
disinterested person"
The court also said that the principles
of a reasonable discretion heretofore an
nounced, apply only to the expenditure
and disbursements for opeating expenses,
materials. supplies and services render
ed. When receiver, in the absence of
direct order, enters upon a financial
transaction outside of the operating eX-
penses. he is firmly bound, under the
principles of law, as any man in any or
binary business transaction, and when he
pays to one party that which by right
belongs to another he cannot escape the
personal responsibility attending such
transaction. An appeal will probably be
taken by the holders of the disaHowed
claims.
The first mortgage bonds of the road
amount to something over $1,000 900
held in trusteeship by the Mercantile
Trust Company of New York. 1t is
thought here that they will buy the road
in the event of sale. There is consid-
cradle speculation as to the identity of
these holders and the Southern railway,
Mr.. Plant and Mr.. F'lagler are rumored
as prospective bidders.
