Explicit statements We're made yes
terday that tho directors OF the Con-
solidated Lake Superior company had
failed In their efforts to raise s5050,0O0
IN cash TO pay off the Speyer loan. All
that now remains to be done Is the
transferring of the assets OF that prop
erty to the syndicate which Speyer &
Go. formed. The stockholders Of the
Consolidated Lake Superior company
stand to lose eyerything--the control
OF the company, In which they sunk
$50, 100000 In cash, as well as all inter-
est In the property,
The spectacle Of q company capitalize
ed at more than 500, 900 of stock be-
ing unable to raise s. $50, 900 to pay of
debt for which they had pledged
practically all their assets was stated
in Wall street yesterday to mark the
lowest point yet reached In the present
stock and financial depression.
At meeting OF the directors of the
Consolidated Lake Superior to be held
tomorrow Ia this city, the situation will
In all probability be canvassed for the
last time. There are some directors
OF the company who are hoping against
an almost forlorn hope that some ex-
pedient may be adopted which will save
them their company. At this meeting
the information will be conveyed to the
directors that the last effort 10 interest
certain financial institutions In their
company has failed and that the assls-
lance which was expected from that
quarter Will not be extended
II is already known that n hitch has
developed in the plans OF the two trust
companies which were expected to come
TO the aid OF the Consolidated Lake Su-
perior company and that the plan to
form syndicate, with the Equitable
Trust company and the Morton Trust
company as managers has been made
impossible by the withdrawal OF lmpor-
tant persons. All sorts of concessions
were made by the leading interests in
the Consolidated company to get these
financial interests to supply money to
put the company on It's feet. At ons
time II was thought that the money
would he supplied, but on Thursday last
limitations were given that there had
been Withdrawals from the syndicate
and that II was now impossible to COM
ply with the wishes of the unfortunate
company.

Monday" said one director yesterday
FOR 1t seems almost incredible that we
shall have TO lose the millions we have
sunk In that enterprise. We have spent
SSO,0OO,OO OF cash In the various plants
and our concessions in forest lands
would form a kingdom. All we owe is
something over s., 600, 900, for which the
company's note has been given, and one
would think that with our resources
there would be many who would WILL
ingly come to our assistance"
The fact OF the matter Is that Wall
street has run riot with pessimlstlc
sentiment. When directors of large
corporations consider the price at
which Steel common is selling 1t throws
n cold chill into their plans of further
commitments. Look at the results OF
the syndicate which formed the Unit
ed States Realty and Construction
company. That was concern which
had some Of the hest houses in the
street interested and yet II turned out
TO be a dismal failure, with some OF
the persons Interested sustaining
heavy losses, No wonder therefore,
that the Consolidated Lake Superior
company finds Itself In n gloomy posi-
ton.
II was learned yesterday that Chas.
II. Tweed OF the firm of Speyer g. Co.,
who has charge OF the Consolidated
loan, WIN In all probability take meas
ures TO convert the assets which the
firm holds as security into cash as soon
as possible In order to pay off the loan
which was entered into nearly 10
months ago. Mr. Tweed went TO Boston
last night, where, It is said, he VIII

from Virginia writer;
Among the Scotch Irish--and the re-

The closing down of the various

which marked the failure of the efforts
to raise cash. The company had run

Ing to the terms of the Speyer loan no
lien could be placed upon the proper

there was no recourse left but to close

IN ENGLISH PRO
NUNCIATI0N,

Prof. Thomas r. Lounsburys article
In Harpers Magazine for september,
describes some interesting points on the
much mooted subject of English pro-
nounclation. "All efforts to have the
accent fall on the first syllable OF in
quiry opponent museum--and these
efforts have been frequent and long
continued, says Prof Lounsbury, have
80 far invariably resulted in disaster.
No authority of repute recognizes In

recommendations always beget a feeling
of pity or pain In the hearts OF those
who deem themselves orthoepically
pure. Furthermore, In every stream OF
tendency there are occasional eddles. SO

Asked how II came about that the
company found itself In position
where II had TO borrow money, the Her
aids informanat said. Last NoVen,-
Der we planned to complete certain ex-
pensiye additions TO our works at the
Canadian 500 and also TO extend the
railway TO the ore lands. We formed
syndicate to underwrite the stock, and
about S,5OO,00O was pledged. The new
stock was TO be undei,written at par.
All arrangements for tho payment of
the money were made, when a change
for the worse took place In the stock
market. Among the underwriters wer,
several Canadians, and when the fall
ure OF the great Toronto Stock l,x-
change firm OF Ames & Co., occurred
our friends were hurt. The Phiadel-
phia contingent had been also hurt, ana
this necessitated a Encouragement OF
the whole plan,
The money was needed TO make Ger.
tain plants productive, and we decided
as q temporary etpedient to borrow
the funds from bankers TO tide us over
until we could properly finance the
debt. Speyer & Co. financed the pro.
ject, and we thought but little of the
event. In the stock market however,
matters became worse, and instead OF
the atmosphere clearing the situation
became gloomier. We had RAISED
S5,O5O,OO0, and the notes for which we
had pledged all our assets except the
power canal became due on July /.

WORTH INVESTIGATING.

The reports of short line from
some point ON the Illinois Central rail
road near Mayfield to some point near
Gilbertsville, which would take Padu-
cab off the main line of the road, are
persistent enough to justify some sort
of an Investigation on part of the
Commercial club and the citizens Of
Paduceh.
IL is not known what the intention
of the Illinois Central may be in re-
gard to this matter, and because local
officials have not been notified of any
such contemplated move, have heard
nothing official about it, or do not
believe it, is no reason there may not
be something in it. Such line has
long been logical consequence OF the
necessity Of some time shortening the
main line in order to compete with
other big roads for business, and
whether or not there is anything ln
the present rumor, it is likely the rail
road officials at headquarters would
readily inform the proper authorities
Of Paducah what the roads intentions
are.
This is a matter of paramount inn
portance to Psducah, and if anything
possible could be done to prevent such
change 1t ought to be done in time.
II the report should prove erroneous
the public mind will be relieved and
no one will be the worse for the in
vestigation. 1t it proves true we can
then seek some means of preserving
our present important position in con-
nection with the road, and if there is
nothing possible to do We shall at
least have the satisfaction of knowing
that we did our best.
