q ror was not accompanied by the
issuance of summons in error. the
attorneys for the defendants met
this attack by producing the ath-
davit of Mr.. Edgar M. Braddock,oi
New Lexington, who stated that
he saw the summons in error III
the hands of the deputy, sheriff OF
Perry county. That matter was
then dropped and Mr.. Heating
took up the argument that the
receiver should be continued for
the reason that the entire valuation
of the property involved was about
$4 100000, upon which $l6,OOO,OOO
in bonds had been issued. The in
come, he said, was also running far
behind the current expenses and
the only way in which the interests
of the creditors could be protected
was by having the property man
aged by the court.
THE OTHER SIDE.
Very few remarks were made by
the attorneys representing the
heavy stockholders. Mr.. Maxwell
sail it was suit of judgment
creditor of the railway company tn
the amount of $4,000, and without
notice to the company the 800 miles
of railroad and property valued at
$4,000, COO was taken from the con-
troll of its owners, All this vas
done to satisfy simple claim,
which had been amply secured by
a supersedeas bond. The plaintiff
has certainly no further reason for
wanting the receivership continu-
ed, and it does not seem right that
the company should be deprived OF
its property and the court burden
ed with its management. He held
| that there was no outstanding
claims which had matured, upon
which payment had been refused.
He said that the claim of Samuel
Flickinger was not due and would
not be for fifty years, and that in
terest on the bonds was being paid
regularly. He ridiculed the idea
of the receiver going to Lancaster
and mixing in the fray, and want
ing his report to be accepted as
evidence in the case. He said il
was very plain that the only thing
the opposition wanted was to get
control of the property and II
matterrd not to them how that erc
was secured.
Attorney Maxwell then stateo
that he wished TO call the attention
of the court "to another case where
uninterested parties tried to steal
a railroad.n The road i'm question
was the Cincinnati, Hamilton and
Dayton, and the recelvership,w (which
he ontended was similar in i'm,
portant features TO the case now
before the court. He then address
ed the court in effect as follows: "It
is very simple case. This entire
railroad property is taken from the
control of its Lawful owners for the
mere reason that certain party
bolds judgment claim against the
company for $4,000, which has been
offered payment and is secured by
bond. There being no other matur-

ed claims, IL is an injustice to keep
the property from its possessors."
JUDBE sLoUGH's DECISION.
Judge Slough said it appeared to
him to be very simple Question.
He was we'll satisfied that the claim
of the plaintiff was secured, having
supersedeas bond for the money,
and accordingly she certainly had
no further interest to want the re-
ceivership continued. With that
she drops out of consideration. The
question remaining then is "Shall
the receivership be continued with
out the consent of any of the cred
itors, and at the instance of nobody,
and the court take in hand the
management of the property"
The Judge gave it as his opinion
that it would be monstrosity to
continue the receivership, and for
that reason he discontinued the
same. However the court stated
that he believed that Judge Wright
and the counsel for the plaintiff
acted in good faith and that no
censure need rest upon them. He
believed that they were misled to
represented Mr.. Snider. He said
Judge Wright had the power to APP
point the receiver without notice
to the company upon the showing
made before him by the plaintiff
that the company was insolvent,
and in exercising that right he was
subject to no criticism. He held
thai the client, Mrs. Hesse, had as
much right to ask for receiver on
her claim Of $4,000 as though it had
been S5,000,000.

II Judge Slough had allowed the
report Of Receiver Poston to bt
filed as evidence the case would
have been somewhat more exciting
in its nature. The report contain
ed dspme'sensational charges, among
which was II statement that the
road was running over $l50,000 pei
year and that the road has an in
debtodness of 10000 per mile. The
equipment he says, is also in very
bad shape, and it would take $32,
00G TO place the locomotives in
proper condition. He spoke OF the
bridges being supported by sticks
aud made number of other state
ments in voluminous report. The
court, however, ruled that the re
port be not accepted as evidence
for the reason that the receiver
was not party to :he case. 1t il
hardly necessary to state that tn,
officers OF the company deny the
statements made in the report.

BICYCLES TO kLONDIKE.


They Are to BE the Carriers ON a
Freight Line.
From the New York Herald.
One of the most novel of the many
schemes to obtain share of the wealth Of
the klondfke region has been developed by
a syndicate of four wealthy New York
business men, who are planning to estab-
lish trading posts and stores in the mining
camps and also to purchase all promising
claims on the market. They will trans
port their men and supplies to the geld
fields on a bicycle specially designed for
the purpose.
The members of the syndicate prefer
that their names shall not be made public
They have no stock to sell, and will fur
nish all the money required themselves.
Iteir attorney is Henry F. Granger of No.
45 Broadway.
AS Mr.. Granger outlined the plan to me
yesterday the enterprise will lie under
taken on an extensive scale. He will meet
mining expert in Seattle and will dis
patch him at once to the gold fields, well
supplied nth money to buy up all the
promising claims in the market. The at
tcrney will also talk with returning min
ers and gather all Information obtainable.
If it is possible to buy or charter freight
steamers on the Pacific coast at anything
like their true value he will invest in two
or three. If the transportation companies
have got control of all available vessels,
however, boz is will be bought here on his
return and dispatched at once around the
Horn.
They will be laden with a general cargo
of dry goods, clothing, provisions, tools,
whisky and tobacco, and, in fact, every
thing that a miner needs, and their desti-
ne ton will be Juneau. Then the klol-
dixie bicycle comes into play. 1t Will be
used to transport the supplies over the
100 riles between Juneau and the gold

Jnpan's Vehicle for Passengers De-
signed by an American.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch
It Is not generally known that the in
ventor Of the famous national vehicle of
Japan, the jinrikisha, is an American, and
resides in Philadelphia. He is Rev. Jona-
than Goble. Goble accompanied Commo-
dore Perry in his expedition TO Japan in
1853, when that country was opening up to
the commerce Of the world. Returning to
the United States, accompanied by the first
Japanese convert to Christianity, Sentaro
Mr.. Goble entered Colgate University, at
Hamilton, New York.
After finishing a four years course he
was. in 1859, ordained Baptist minister
and sent to Japan as a missionary by the
American Baptist Free Missionary Society.
Mr.. Goble, who served as Interpreter to the
American consulate and adviser to the Jap
anese government, was also commissioned
as United States marshal, in order to hold
control of the United States consulate vt
Yokohama, at a time when an unfaithful
consul was trying to abscond with papers
and funds belonging to the government
In 1868 Rev. Mr.. Goble was asked by Prince
Ito to draw plan for vehicle to be used
In the imperial parks at Yokohama, and
made a drawing of little jinrikisha, or
man-poWer cart, now so popular all through
the east. He derived the idea from the
London bath chair, simply substituting a
coolie for the little front wheel.
For many years past Japan has exported
many thousand of these vehicles to other
Eastern countries. In Toxic alone there are
not fewer than 10000 now in use. The
government levied tax of 50 cents each
per annum on these little carts, the sum
received from this source forming no incon-
siderable item of the national revenue
Mr.. Goble never received a penny for his
invention as the japanese government does
not issue patents or copyrights to foreign
ers However. one of his servants became
a wealthy manufacturer of jinrikishas and
used his profits in the promotion of Bible
distribution and other missionary work.

Most Nertherly Theater.

From the Atlanta Constitution
The farthest north theater in the world
Is undoubtedly that at Circle City. Alaska.
Circle City is s9S miles north OF Juneau,
which is the best known Alaska town. The
isolation Of the region may be judged from
the fact that it cost Casey Moran, the
manager, 81 postage to send the letter con-
tanning picture and the facts about his
company to Juneau on its journey to the
Clipper office. The Circle City theater is a
variety house, with seven men and six wo-
men In Its company Of actors. The price of
admission is $3.50, which does not indicate
so much the exalted character Of the enter
tafnment as the high schedule of prices for
everything which prevails at Circle City,
The audiences are drawn for the most part
from the neighboring fields.
