| ban Water Company. which supplied the city OF
| Mount Vernon. was begun yesterday before Judge

part of the ownership of the plant, yet IL does, in
fact represent one-ifeenth of the total legal issue
of stock of that corporation, the shares being of
q par value of 500 each. He says only $50 shares
were legally issued, and that 1850 shares were
illegally sold or disposed OF. Coffin Stanton pur-
| chased about $1,000 shares at the rate of $50 a
| share. and changed the name Of the company TO
! the New-York Suburban Water Company Drake
now says that he still owns the ten shares Of the
original stock and that the property II represents
| has apparently disappeared. Several witnesses
were examined to-day. and the case was adjourned
| until March 6.
