THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
A Big Railroad Deal.
The Boston & Maine VIII Probably
Lease the Concord g. Montreal.

The Boston & Maine VIII Probably
Lease the Concord g. Montreal.
The directors of the Concord & Montreal
railroad company have voted to submit a
proposition for lease of their system to
the Boston d Maine company. The offer
provides that the lease shall run for term
of 81 years; that the Boston & Maine road
shall pay all the operating expenses and
fixed charges that the Concord & Mon
treal road shall issue $1,000 shares of new
stock and distribute the same pro rata
among the stockholders, and that the Bos-
ton d Maine people shall pay guarantee
annual rental equivalent to 7 per cent on
the aggregate capital stock.
The Concord q Montreal road controls
and operates 415 miles of road, and is now
capitalized at $5,0s3, 800, which would be
increased to nearly S7,200,000 by the pro-
posed new issue of stock. The 10000
shares are to be put out to take up the
floating debt and provide for certain needed
improvements. The recent decision of the
court in the Manchester & Lawrence Con-
cord & Montreal litigation, by which the
latter is forced to pay over a large sum to
the former, has really complicated the re-
lations between the Boston & Maine and
Concord e. Montreal people, and had a
very important bearing on the lease ques-
ton and in bringing it to a settlement.

that he finds also that inquiries concerning
losses have been answered with evasive
and misleading replies, and that full infor-

Gin addition to their other responsibility
the active officers of the company are cul-

which they have failed to pay and some of
which they have suffered to be alienated
by foreclosure. Their mismanagement

a Financial Bubble.
The Colorado Securities Company Has
Debts of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Gone.


Debts of S4OO,OOO---Presiden Gone.
Henry j. Aldrich, president and general
manager of the Colorado Securities COM
pany, one of the largest in the West, has
disappeared. Over 300 ranch titles are
clouded by the acts of Aldrich, who di-
verified funds RENTED by eastern investors
to make good the shortage in maturing OBJ
legations by the depreciation in real es-
tate. He guaranteed principal and inter
est on loans, and then began the down
ward course, which eliminated in the APP
pointment of a receiver three months ago.
Even then there was no intimation of
double dealing, and the disclosures only
came to the surface when the receiver eX-
amined the books.
The heaviest loss falls upon widows and
orphans in the East, whose earnings and
savings were intrusted to the company for
investment at a high rate of interest. One
of the most distressing cases is that of a
widow of Bloomington, III. She gave her
whole fortune to the securities company,
and she is now compelled to depend for
support on the county authorities.
The debts will aggregate from $500, 900
to 100000 and every title issued by the
company has to be examined before its
validity can be established
