Post Haste.

Before railroads the traveller (who could
afford it, desired to get from place to
place more quickly than by the ordinary
means travelled by post with relays Of
horses and rapid changes at frequent in

the speed, and thus the expression, post

tory has there been greater advance in
the means of communication and trans
portatien than during the last fifty years
OF the nineteenth century. To realize
this fully one might compare the old

POTTERY CRACK
Vice Chancellor Emery
Grants an Order Against
the Trenton Trust.
rspecial 10 .The jersey city News."l


TRENTON, July "a, 1902. Vice
Chancellor Emery yesterday signed an
order directing the Trenton Potteries
Company to show cause at the Chancery
Chambers, in Newark, on Tuesday next,
why the company should not be restrain
cd from exchanging the certificates of
preferred stock, and issuing funding GER
tifcates for arrees ofa cumulative diyid-
ends.
The suit is brought by William r.
Wilcox, Robert G. Wood, J. G. Have
meye rand Philip Kearny, partners,
trading as Wod, Havemeyer & Kearny.
and doing business in New York City.
The bill of complaint sets forth that
Wilco xowns 104 shares of the preferred
stock of the Trenton Potteries company
and the partners own 800 shares of the
stock.
The bill of complaint states that the
Trenton Poteries company is doing a
very profitable business, and could pay
a part fthe forty-four per cent. accumu-
lated arrears in dividends.
1t is alleged that the amended charter
filed on July 1 is illegal, inasmuch as
there is nothing in the original charter
to make an amendment possible.
ILLEGALITY CLAIMED.
It is further charged that the action
on July was illegal. inasmuch as the
preferred stockholders who did not as
sent to the change are left out entirely,
and certain funds are to be set aside,
which will deprive all stockholders of
rights to which they are entitled.
The S3,000,000 capital of the Trenton
Potteries Company is divided into 1900
shares of common and 12,500 shares of
preferred stock.
The preferred stock is entitled to
dividend of eight per cent. per annum,
and it is cumulative.
For several years past the dividends
have gone unpaid in whole or part, until
they now amount to forty-four per cent.
of teh total issue Of preferred stock
or a grand total of about $3.50, 900.
In the amendment Of July / it was
proposed to take up this arrearage by
issuing cefIlncuteS lllfOuSH tHe trust
Company of the Republic for the whole
amount.
These certificates are to bear four per
cent. interest and the preferred stock
holder who accepts the certificates
valves the dividends upon his regular
stock unless there shall be sufficient
funds to meet both with.
THE NONE YREQUIRED.
It would require $4,000 to meet the
interest on the certificates each year, and
in addition to this the sum Of 1000 per
year is to be set aside for the redemption
of the certificates.
The bill of the complaint charges that
the setting aside of this SAT, ,0C0 per year
would prove a great detrimcnt to the
other stockholders of the company.
Upon the eight per cent. basis it would
and will require $140,000 yearly to salts
~ the claims OF the preferred stoexhold-
ers, but those who accept the trust COM
pany's certificates waive the cumulative
part.
Apparently this would 'entitle them to
