BAY STATE GAS COMPANY.
The Boston Globe Says impending Danger
Was Warded Off by Quick
Jumping.

Few people realize how near the Bay
State Gus Company was TO receivership
last week, when the announcement was
made that one was TO be applied for, says
the Boston Globe. The only thing that
stayed IL off was the fact that President
Bartlett was abroad. Had he been on this
side Of the water there is little doubt thai
a receiver would have been applied for and
probably appointed, not by the United
States courts, but By tho State courts.
'As 1t was" said an authority, iii took
lot Of quick jumping to ward OF the
impending danger. 1t Is just possible that
one may be asked for later on, but up
to data 10 plans with that end in view
have been formulated to my knowled &c.

black cloth, accordion plated, worr
