JERNEeAN COLO COMPANY.
Directors and Stockholders Hold Lively
Meeting.


BOSTON, Aug. 5.-There was n live
ly meeting between the directors and
the stockholders of the Electrolytlc Ma
rine Salts company at Young's hotel.
yesterday. For three hours the present
condition of the company was gone
over. and President Ryan and the d.
rectors gave the stockholders what in
formation they could. Clergymen. law
yers, jewelers. and in greater proportion
business men of Boston and other cities
of the commonwealth were included
among those present. 1t was learned
that among other things It was voted
at the meeting 70 liquidate all outstand-
ing liabilities and to employ additional
counsel. 1t seemed TO be the general
impression that a~slvidend OF 80 cents
on a dollar would be about all the
stockholders could expect.
President Ryan stated yesterday that
there will be no further meeting OF the
directors and as yet Il is impossible TO
state when he and other officers win go
to Maine for the purpose OF seeing what
can be done with the plant at North
Lubec.
Later yesterday afternoon Treasurer
Usher said he had but little hope Of get
ting Jernegan back by extraditlon pro-
ceedings, for Lawyer Melville o. Adams
had told him that every point possible
had been made to secure his arrest.
but he did not think Jernegan could be
aXtradited.
