Railroad.

Judge Henry Keller, on whose application a re.
ceiver was appointed Thursday for the Santa Fe
road, says: 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 standing capital stock and mortgage bonds Of
the old company amounted to S344, SO 729. On
June ~, 1896, the outstanding capital stock and
mortgage bonds Of the new company amounted
70 eo9o, '4o,5OO The property and assets of the
old and new companies are practicable the same.
The result OF the first years operations of the
new organization will not be known to the public
until l. files its report in 1897 but there is reason
70 believe there will be no dividends paid BY
the foreclosure proceedings and the re6rganiza-
