A Reminder of the Boom.

n Vi INC Boom.
A special dispatch from Winches-
ter 10 the Baltimore Sun says: The
Board of Directors of the Equity I'm
provement Company, of this city,
have called for meeting of the
company, to be held here on August
tn next, to consider the feasibility
of dissolving the organization. The
company was organized in 1890, dur
ing the "boOm" times i'm Virginia.
but was not success. The capital
stock was 81 100000, all of which
was taken, payable in installments.
The object of the company was to
erect various manufactm ing indus.
tries here, but when these failed to
materialize as rapidly AS WAS expect
ed the stockholders refused to paw
their installments. The capital
stock was then reduced to 100000.
BY the payment of 30 per cent. of
their original subscriptions stock
holders were given certificates for the
full amount of their subscriptions.
Ia this way about $4,000 was rails
ed. This amount WAS used princi
pally to erect the Hotel Winchester.
situated Oh the western limit of the
town. The grounds and hotel cost
$4,000, upon which there is now a
$4,000 mortgage, held Jointly by
Judge John Handlrv'S estate, Hon.
Holmes Conrad and Mr. James b..
Russell. 1t is to pay this mortgage
off that the question of liquidation
will be considered. Judge Handlev's
estate owns four tifths of the capital
stock. The hotel, which is the larg.
est and one of the prettiest in the
valley, together with the grounds,
will Oe offered for sale. Only the
amount of the mortgage is expected
to be realized, SO that the stockhold-
ers, many OF whom are in Baltimore,
will receive nothing.
