POOR SHOWING
Made al Meeting Of Creditors
Of an English Exploring Co.

London, July S0-Today at the first
meeting OF the creditors of the Standard
Exploration Company. one of the mining
concerns known as the Whitaker
Wright Group" and at subsequent
meeting OF the shareholders, the official
receiver made such astounding revela-
tions that he drew from the excited
shareholders demands for the lynching
OF the persons implicated.
The receiver said that the estimated as
sets were farcical. The fourteen mines
valued at e767.OOo, earned nothing. The
company started with a cash capital OF
e5O0,O0 but the directors took little inter-
est I'm the company mines and devoted
<tSemselves 20 stock exchange specula-
ton. "And that's where your money ~s
gone" said the receivers: "E22S,0O0 was
lost, In differences. in Lake Erie specula-
tions and $255 900 was lost I'm differences,
I'm Caledonian Copper. The profits from
speculations are eSs.OOo and the losses are
E536, 600"
After a few more such statements
which. a shareholder said would stag
ger humanity" another shareholder ask
e. the receiver 10 prevent the directors
from making away with their property.

Wooed in a Graveyard.

A oourtship which recently terminal ted

addresses 10 the maiden while wander

the ardor OF the couple atoned for the
morbid nature OF the surroundings. II Is

who afterward became his wife. while
attending course of spiritualistic se-
ances IN that city. Both parties were
somewhat skeptical on the subject OF
"spooks,' but the darkness in which the
room was invariably plunged afforded
many excellent opportunities for the
clasping OF hands and even for occasion-
al osculation. Eventually they were made
ono al the hymenc7l altar. probably the
first couple iu the whole history of court

amid such extraordinary surroundings
Touched with infinite pathos as well as
with surprising wcirdness was the court

who had been summoned to nurse the
