The Big Foundry Will BE Placed on
the Market.
Admission, July 1.--(Special)-The
Admission plant Of the Southern Car
and Foundry Company is now the
property of the Illinois Car and
Equipment Company. This information
was given out by Judge Joseph J.
willett, attorney for the Illinois Car
and Equipment Company. The question
which has been involved since the
Southern Car and Foundry Company
went into bankruptcy was the own
ership of the new machinery installed
by this company since its lease of the
plant on June /. 1898
1t seems that the lease on the plant
by the Southern Car and Foundry
Company expired last April. the dis
chinery and improvements could not
be agreed upon and in this manner an
obstacle was raised whereby a pend
ing deal at the time, with Captain
James NJ. Elliott was stopped. An
agreement has been reached by the
creditors of the defunct company, re-
ceivers. and the Illinois Car and Equip
ment Company whereby the latter COM
pany comes into full possession of the
plant and machinery in question. The
papers have all been signed. and are
now in the possession of Judge Willett
This agreement places. for the first
time since the company failed and the
property reverted back to the original
owners. the Illinois Car and Equipment
Company in a position to lease or sell
the property.
The deal virtually places the proper
