Among the shipments noted are one
of IL cars of cattle, loaded at Wells,
New, by w. Z. Gutherie a day or two
since for Omaha to feed. Another ship

Attorney Hurd Gives His View.
Upon the Receivership.

Upon the Receiyership.
Topeka, Nov. Ga. A. Hurd Of the
Santa Fe legal department has this to
say about the receivership:
The commencement Of the suit is not
a surprise to us, although the fact that
a receiver was appointed by Judge
Myers without notice to any party in
interest is a surprise. Although this
suit is brought ostenSibly in the name
of the state of Kansas, under what is
known as the alien land law, passed in
1891, it is really for the purpose of fore
ing the payment of a private claim A
man named Mabie has a claim of
$4,000 or $4,000 for injuries received in
the state of Illinois against the old
A. T. & S. F. Railway company, and
has been seeking 20 compel the present
A I. & S. T. Railway company to paw
the claim, and the matter has been
pending before q special master in the
federal court for a long time.
Mr.. Henry Keller is the attorney for
the plaintiff in the case and we were
informed several weeks ago by reliable
parties who had been approached by
Mr.. Keller and a banker in Valley
Falls, and another banker in Oskaloosa,
whereby they proposed to make appli-
cation 20 have receiver appointed for

WHY IT WAS DONE.
Judge Keller this morning gave out
this statement as reason for applying
for receiver:
q THE condition of the new company
company at the time it was closed out
On June 80, 1895, the outstanding cap
ital stock and mortgage bonds of the
old company amounted to 1914 ,677, 729.4S
On June go 1896, the outstanding cap
ital stock and mortgage bonds of the
new company amounted to 1898, us, 800
The property and assets of the old
and new companies are practically the
same. The income of the old company
for the year ending June. 1895, was
$43S, 379.77 less than a years interest on
its bonded Indebtedness. The result of
the first years operation of the new
company will not be known to the pub
lie until it files its annual report in
1897, but there is no good reason to be-
lieve that its net earnings will be suf-
ficient to pay any dividend on the cap
ital stock, nor even the full amount of
annual interest on its bonded indebted
ness The entire property was sold in
December, 1898, for $50, O00,0 By the
foreclosure proceedings against the old
company, and by what is called the re-
organization, the maniDulators Of t.>e
affairs of the old company froze out all
parties not in the new deal, took the
property at $4,000 600 and proceeded to
stock and bond it for 1898, us, 500. In
other words, it took the property which
had already been watered into bank
ruptcy and proceeded to water it $54,-
040,S70 more"

Nothing to Fear.

NEW YORK, Nov. ct is learned at
the office of the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe Railway company that the
matter relating to d receivership for
the property of the company in Kansas
is merely the carrying out of an agree
ment between the old and the new
companies to clear up old legal COM
plicationS.
Victor Morawitz, general counsel for
the Atchison, says of the receivership
in Kansas: Il am informed that it is
not proposed to disturb the operation
of the property by the present COM
pany, and l am satisfied that there is
nothing in the proceeding which the
stock holders or bond holders need fear
in the least
KEELER'S REASONS.
Judge Keller, this morning, gave out
this statement as his reason for apply
ing for a receiver:
THE condition of the new company
is worse than the condition of the old
company at the time it was closed out
On June 80, 1895, the outstanding CAPT.
tai stock and mortgage bonds of the
old company amounted to 1914 SIT, 719 4S.
On June 80, 1896, the outstanding stock
and mortgage bonds of the new COM
pany amounted to 1898, us. 500. The
property and assets of the old and new
companies are practically the same.
The income of the old company for the
year ending June. 1895, was $4SS, 379. IL
less than years interest on it's bonded
Indebtedness.
1.-THE result of the first years opera
ton of the new company will not be
known to the public until it files it's
annual report in 1897, but there is no
good reason to believe that it's net
earnings Will be sufficient to pay any
dividend on capital stock, nor eyen the
full amount of annual interest on its
bonded Indebtedness. The entire prop
erty was sold in December, 1893, for.
6O.000,000 By the foreclosure proceed
ings against the old company. and by
what is called the reorganization the

company froze out all parties not in the

WIGHT CASE HEARING.

Convicted Officials Case Argued Be-
fore the Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-The case of
C. S. Wight, general freight agent of
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, was ar
gued in the supreme court today.
Wight was convicted by a jury of I'M
lawful discrimination between shippers
in violation of the interstate commerce
act. He granted a special secret re-
bate of 31z cents per hundredweight to
one Bruening on beer shipments from
Cincinnati to Pittsburg. 1t was dis
covered through discharged en-
ployee. Meanwhile the Panhandle rail-
road, unable TO find out where the
trouble was, had cut schedule rates.
Its freight agent was indicted, pleaded
guilty and was fined. Wight's excuse
on trial was that Bruening had a sid
ing on the Panhandle road and that the
Baltimore & Ohio could not get his
business without giving him a rebate
which was under the guise of an al
lowance for carriage. The case was
argued by Hugh L. Bond of Baltimore
for Wight and Edward B. Whitney,
assistant attorney general for the
United States.
All the justices except Justice Field
were present. This is the first Grim
inal conviction of a railroad officer for
an unjust discrimination and the re-
suit will be watched by all the ship
pers and railroad men in the country.
