Committee In Cha ge of Property Z
Evereft-NInnrn Syndicate

Committee In Cha ge of Property of
Everett-lIoOre Syndicate.
Cleveland. Jan. IA committee OF
Cleveland bankers has taken charge
of the various properties controlled By
the Everett-Moore Electric railway
syndicate.
A statement issued by the commit
tee says that on account VI right
money situation in different quarters
where they were financing some OF
their enterprises, and although in their
opinion they owned several million
dollars worth of property over and
above liabilities, they would oe unable
without temporary assistance to meet
their obligations. Many of these obii-
cations arose from the. fact that the
syndicate was engaged IN the con-
struction OF a number of enterprises
which were not fully completed, re-
curing large amounts of money to pay
for labor and materials in construc-
ton. The syndicate w-s also recently
disappointed in being u-abie to COM
plete the negotiations Ior raising a
large sum OF money on certain bonds
and stocks which would have fur
nished ready funds. ard which nego-
tiations 1t had reason to believe,
until 10 days ago, would result favor
ably. So far as the personal affairs
of the members of the syndicate are
concerned their equities are largely in
excess of liabilities. and 1t is claimed
all the personal creditors can be paid
without doubt from assets, and several
hundred thousand dollars put into
rnnlafinp tho nrnnarffoc
In Cleveland upwards of 80 banks
are creditors and these banks hold
the choicest of the securities and the
most equities.
Messrs. Everett & 4doore stated that
they were perfectly willing to turn all
of their matters and properties over
to a committee that should be appoint
ed to handle them in connection with
themselves to preserve the most equi-
ties, with the belief that when their
properties were developed and credit
ors paid there would be a substantial
amount to return to them.
The personnel of the committee is as
follows: r. r. Newcomb, chairman;
Myron T. Herrick, J. J. sullivan, Cal
vary Morris, Kaufman Fays, E. G. Til
lotson secretary, and w. C. Mather
Following are the most valuable
properties of the syndicate: CIeve-
land Electric Railway company; De-
troit United Railroad company; Cleve-
land, gainesville & Eastern Railroad
company; Detroit &c Toledo Shore
Line Railroad company; Lake Shore
Electric Railway company and North
ern Ohio Traction company. All
these properties were found. hardly
without exception. in good condition,
perfectly solvent and in nowise en-
barrassed. Among the telephone prop
critics are the United States Long Dis
lance Telephone company, the Cuya.

Now that the John K. Speed and
CITY of Pittsburg have struck their
streamers for the last time, the old
talk Of re.invigorating the Cincinnati,
louisville and Memphis line by adj
ding q boat or two from the up-river
fiotilla has been revived, and from .
gentleman in position to know, 1t is
certain that the scheme will material
ize this time. 1t is said the Virginia.
Queen City, Avalon and Sunshine will
form the line, and that there will be
boat each week, all taking passengers
and freight for points south Of Mem
phis, subject 10 transfer at that city.
The only boat left Of the Cincinnati,
Louisville and New Orleans flotilla
is the New South, and she is too old
and infirm to be depended upon as a
New Orleans packet. therefore the
Ohio river is practically without one
good boat to perpetuate the commerce
with that city which the people Of
this valley have enjoyed ever since
steamboats, have been known.
At the headwaters of the coal dis
tricts there are total Of $4,000, 900
bushels of coal atloat and ready to be
sent to the various markets. OF this
10000, 900 are in the Pittsburg pools
and 10, 900, 900 in Kanawha river ter
ritory. The dipper boats at work get
ting out sunken coal down the lower
Ohio are having remarkable success
in their work, and it is believed that
the actual losses on all that has been
sunk within the past year will not be
over 20 per cent.
The steamer Bette owen will prob
ably be off the marine ways tomorrow.
There has been some little trouble ex-
perieDced in securing timber with
which the repairs are made, but the
work has been pushed and the boat is
now about ready to come off the
docks. Since she has been laid up the
Cowling has been doing her Brookport
trade and this morning brought over
two wagon loads of corn.
The new boat built at Golconda by
Captain Frank Lyons out of the hull
of the Golconda will pass down to
day en- route to Greenville, Miss, to
enter the trade there. She is built on
the style of the Cow ling and is an
excellent boat. Soon after the Col
conds accident the people blamed the
small hull for the disaster, but the de-
feet laid in the cabin.
The U. s. snag boat E. A. Woodruff
passed down to Cairo yesterday after
noon. She will come back to Padu-
cab this afternoon and probably do
little work about here. This is her
first trip here since the Golconds dis.
aster.

a tow Of ties and went down to Joppa
to unload the same.

small fraction of the good that

is not a matter of a day-but
the cure is almost vital to the

The full benefit of all the

EEGLAND'S SNOWY GUARDS.

Brig. Gen. Joseph Wheeler. L. 5. A,
retired, who attended the coronation
of King Edward on August 9, has
written a brief account OF the military
display on that occasion, says the
Army and Navy Journal" The Horse
Guards. whom he prcnounces the most
splendid looking cavalry in the world,
made ne sbowiest appearance, but Gen
eral Wheeler adds that both men and
horses are too heavy for endurance
and are not such rs he would select
for actual service in the field. The de-
iachment of troops from India seemed
capable of efficient service, their horses
being particularly fine, while the Aus
traIians looked more like the American
cavalry than the others and impressed
the observer accordingly. General
Wheeler was particularly Interested in
the field artillery. Their pieces were
taken apart and carried by men afoot,
the gun itself being carried on a litter.
These batteries can scale hills and get
into action with great celebrity. General
Wheeler found less variety in the Eng
lish troops than he expected. the same
ness in the cavalry scouts having been
particularly noticeable in view of the
varieties available. The military for
nation OF the parade. General Wheeler
adds. was the work cf a master hand,
