200 Per Cent Dividend.
one Of the interesting clauses in the
bill demonstrates that the company was
mot a limited partnership and then tells
how the capital OF the company was
provided. It says:
The agreement OF 1892 provided that
capital to the extent of s9O,Ooo.oOO should
be paid in cash on or before the 3oth
dny of June, 1882, but made no provls-
ION for the remainder OF the capital,
viz: S5,oOo,OOO. said amount Of In
creased capital was never paid into the
association in cash, either on or before
the sOth day Of June, 1892. or later. Said
increase was made in the manner fol-
lowing: on the SOth day OF June, 1882
the firm of Carnegie, PhIpps & Com
pany, limited. declared a dividend Of 200
per cent ON It's capital stock OF 5000, 900.

the said members being the subscribers

checks thus given to said members were
endorsed over by them ~ payment of
their several subscriptions to Carnegie

OF the several subscriptions to the Car
