Stockholders Meeting.

The stockholders annual meeting of the
Conowingo Bridge Company was held at the
company's Office on Monday. The following
directors We're elected for the ensuing year:
c. e. Caldwell, r. B. Mccoy, James s. Patter.
son, S. j. Caldwell and j. F. Marshall. Al
the directors meeting, which immediately
followed, c. c. Caldwell was elected presi.
dent and j. +. Marshall, secretary.
The company is considering the advsability
of erecting a steel span Of $50 feet on the
Cecil side to give better outlet for the water
when The Susquehanna river is very high.
The bridge was constructed in 1S47 and is the
only bridge over the Susquehanna river be-
tween Columbia, Pa, and Havre de Grace.
1t is now in excellent repair. The rates of
toll are very low and the convenience to the
travelling public can hardly be estimated,
sffording the residents Of Hartford county an
an outlet to the Pennsylvania railroad at Con
owingo station. 1t is one of the best managed
corporations in the State.

1t seems that Mayor Hayes is not the only
chief dignitsry of public corporation to have
troubles with the City council. Mayor Pussy,
of Havre de Grace, started out on Monday
evening and hardly had the new members of
the council taken their seats before war was de-
clared. The fight is the outcome of an old
feud that has existed in Havre de Grace for
years. Politics does not enter into the ques-
ton as Messrs. VannemaII, the retiring Mayor
an the new official, C. c. Pussy, are both Re-
publicane. 1t is an unfortunate state OF afTairs
as these actions growing from petty malice
tends to bring into disrespcct any public gov
eminent.
What brought about the hitch was that as
soon as Mayor Pusey and the members OF the
Council-Messrs. McVey, Hopkins, Pritchett,
| Osmond, Crawford and Vosbury-had taken
| their places a motion was offered by MIR. Vos-
| bury that the Council go into executive session
| for the purpose of organization of the Council.
| The motion was seconded by MIR. Osmond and
objected to by Mr.. Pritchett, who claimed
there WAS no necessity for 1t and that a large
number of citizens were present to witness the
proceedings. Mr.. McVey stated that in serv'
ing In several Councils the organization wac
always perfected without this procedure and
he objected. The motion was put. Messrs
| Vosbury, Osmond and Crawford voting In the
affirmative, and Messrs. McVey, Hopkins and
tritchett in the negative. The Mayor, claim
| ing the right to cast the deciding vote, voted
in the negative and declared the motion lost
Displeased with this, Messrs. Vosbury, Os
mond and Crawford left the Council room
and the Council was apparently without 1
quorum.
These three Councilmen are regarded as TIT
minority members, as they were candidates oil
the Vanneman ticket, while the citizens tickle
elected their candidate for Mayor and tire
Counclmen.
1t is evident they had purpose In carrying
the motion, and their subsequent action
not generally regarded with favor.
For several years there has been stroni
opposition to Mr.. Vanneman and those asso
ciated with him in the management OF tn
city's affairs, and the success of the oppos
tion in electing their Mayor and three Of tn
. City Council at the last election has not tend
ed to bring the two factions closer together

At meeting Of the creditors Of Isaac Rob
inson, held recently in Baltimore, resolu
tion was adopted stating that it was the SENSE
of the meeting that he go into voluntary
bankruptcy. The papers were Immediately
drawn up and the estate Is now In the United
States Court.
The adoption of this resolution followed
the report of the committee appointed tc
examine the assets Of MIR. Robinson. Accord
ing to this report the unsecured creditors have
about GO cents on the dollar in sight for theil
claims, but the expenses of administration
will cut this figure down somewhat. The re.
port shows the following:
Valuation of 1856 ,9l(
Secured debts. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 304, PSI
Availabie to pay Unsecured debts. 80. 2S6 ,65t
Amount of unsecured debts 4g4 ,U9t
The committee stated that IL was impossi
bic to verify the debts or to gauge the possible
liabilities arising from guarantees which are
usually given In sales OF canned goods or for
Endorsement OH discounted notes. 1t also re.
ported that 1t was unable to suggest feast
be plan for the reorganization of the business
owing to the numerous attachments, large
number of small creditors and their scattered
location.
1t Was thought that Il corporation might be
formed to take over the assets and t. us secure
n price around actual values for them, but
this would involve putting in fresh money,
and after discussion OF this proposition the
committee decided that it could not make any
recommendation, but would leave The whole
situation TO the creditors meeting. After
discussing the report Of the committee the
decision was reached to ask for bankruptcy
proceedings. The committees report scaled
the estimate made by Mr.. Robinson of SIP, Isl
as the value of his assets to $3.50 910. His
total liabilities, both secured and unsecured
are S79S,353.
The committee, with the interests 1t repre-
sents,is as follows: William II. Grafllin, chair
man, fertilizers; j. W. Hook, the banks; e.
w. Baker, canned goods packers; w. ID.
Daugherty;, caumakers; Louis Becker, box
makers; Ii. T. Cannon, Delaware fruit
growers; Charles Wilson, hardware manufac-
turcrs.
Mr.. Graillin acted as chairman of the credi
tors meeting.

1t seems like our good neighbor STREET. will
not get things straight. His latest sin Of
omission, or rather commission. is to call our
fellow countian Colonel Vandiver when 1t
should have been General Vandiver. We can
forgive our esteemed contemporary for some
Of his ordinary breaks, but when he goes to
work and reduces in rank one OF our most
prominent citi sens-well we just can't refrain
from speaking our mind. Perhaps, however,
our good neighbor is something like the re-
frain Of that popular coon song and "Ali
soldiers look alike to him" That recalls a
good story of young man who was ser
geant major, at the outbreak of the recent I'M
pleasantpess with Spain. Fortune favored
him however and he WAS made the Adjutant
OF the regiment with the rank OF First Lieu
tenant. AS soon as he could, he arrayed him
self in his newly made uniform, the product
of one of the best tailors in Baltimore, aud,
taking prominent St and on a street corner
in that city, watched the passing crowd as
they looked over his recently acquired fiuery.
After while little newstoy came up to him
| and said "Say Mister where's the band going
| to play this afternoon" The youth had taken
/ him for drum major. Perhaps our errirg
brother does not know the difference between
| Colonel and General but it is time he wa:
| finding out.
