ASKING FOR A RECEIVER
Application Regarding Chester & VII.
minSton Electric Railway Co.
A RULE TO SHOW CAUSE ISSUED
Request Made In the Court of
Chancery Saturday.

A petition to Chancellor Nicholson
for the appointment OF a receiver for
the Chester u Wilmington Electric
Railway Co., was filed Saturday by
William S. Hilles, attorney.
Tho petitioner was William r. Cars
well, who alleged that he had obtained
Judgment for 1884. ~ against the com.
pany but the amount was still due
with interest from October I'd, 1896.
Outside OF the franchise the petition
alleges that the company is not poe-
sessed OF real or personal property,
except that there was owing to il
large amount of money for subscrip.
lions to the capital stock; that the pc.
titioner has demanded of the president
OF the company to call in sufficient OF
the subscriptions TO pay his debt, but
the demand had not been complied
with
He prays that the company be de.
creed by the court to be insolvent; that
one or moro persons as receiver or re.
ceivers be appointed to administer the
estate, effects, business and affairs
of the company and especially to call
in or recover unpaid subscriptions
sufficient to pay petitioner and the ex-
penses OF the recelversbip.
This petition was read to Chancellor
Nicholson this afternoon and he issued
rule to the company to show cause
why receiver should not be appointed.
The ru 10 was made returnable Tuesday,
December 9Th.

act of the Legislature passed May Sd,

gave the company the usual powers to
build the road which was TO run from
the State line at or near Claymont, to
Shellpot crsek. Tbs building of the
road was to commence within six
months after the passage of the act and
to be completed, equipped and operated
within two years therefrom. An ex-
tension of time was granted by the
Legislature OF 1895, which by an act
passed April 9th, 1895, ammended tae

The essential difference between Paine's
celery compound and the bewilderiDg
number of sarsaparillas and neryines that
its success has brought into existence is
that Paine's celery compound furnishes
just the appropriate nutriment to the
exhausted nerves and securely builds up
the system against disease, while the un-
scientific remedies confuse and add to the
arrangement of the organs.
Paine's celery mpound not only re-
lieves but effectively and permanently

Sufferings of Two Hunters

Death.
Tramps for Ten Days Over the
Mountains Without Tasting
Food.

PORTLAND. Or, Nov. q. A. o.
Mechlingof Sank was taken to the hos
pital in Sedro, Snohomish County, on
Tuesday. He was nearly exhausted and
both of his feet were badly frostbitten.
He told story of horrible suffering, hav-
ing been forced to witness the death of
companion from freezing on the noun
tain side while he was powerless to allevi-
ate the dying mans distress. Mechling
for ten days iaceI similar fate, having
during that time not tasted mouthful of
food. He finally reached the camp of
friendly Indians, where he was cared for.
Mechling and George A. Pierce had
established camp and provisioned it for
the winter. seven miles northwest of
Glazier Peak, where they expected to spend
the season hunting and trapping. They
came out at election time and voted, and
the next day Pierce started back, while
Mechiing carried the ballots of Sauk
Precinct to Mount Vernon. Mechling
strapped on his pack on Novem Der and
started to overtake Pierce. coming up with
him on the afternoon of Novem ber 10 well
up TO the top OF the mountain. 1t had
been showing hard for several hours and
Mechling estimated the fall al bout ten
feet. When Mechling reached Pierce he
found him exhausted and frostbitten. His
companion refused to go another step.
Persuasion was useless. He worked with
Pierce until IL O'Clock, VIXEN he left him
dead in the snow.
MechliDg started on toward camp, which
was only one and half miles distant,
reaching it the next morning at o. clock.
To his surprise and encouragement he
found that the camp had been burned
during their absence.
The difficulties now to be encountered
would have struck terror to any man with
less nerve and endurance than Mechling
He could not retrace his Steps on account
of the deep snow. He had left his pack,
his camp was burned and consequently he
had neither blankets nor food.
Undaunted he started out on another
divide, and after ten days travel without
food or blankets reached Siwash camp
twenty-slx miles up the Suattle River on
November 81. The Indians helped him 10
Sauk on Novem Der %, and he was brought
down the Skagit in canoe to the hospital
on November %. The surgeons are una BILE
to state what will be the result of Mech
Hng's exposure.
year ago Mechling, in q fight with a
bear, was severely torn. and lay in Provi.
dence Hospital in Seattle for some time.
