The Receivers Report.
in the report of the receivers fled
this afternoon in the federal court of
the property of c. J. Devlfn and his
cess of assets is shown over the direct
liabilities
Contingent liabilities appear, the
validity of which must still. however.
be determined Should they all be up
held, then the liabilities will overtop
the assets by $674.639.17.
Devlin's personal case presents as
sets OF more than a million of dol
lars in excess of his liabilities.
But one of his companies is hope
lessly insolvent and that is the Mount
Carmel Coal company. Its assets are
$4Ol, 4l4-7S against liabilities of ST.
256, 6,S2O.32.
The report shows that there are stiH
II, 1886 acres of coal land unworked It
also shows that there are 1000 acres
of coal land in Illinois which can be
worked within the present radius of
haulage. Some question exists as to
their incumbrance. If free they viii
increase the assets over a half million
dollars.
The report is made upon the best
information obtainable by the receiv-
ers. An appraisement will be COM
menced in a few days to check up
these estimates. An operating report
be filed in the federal court within a
week.
In view of the interviewer relations
Ct Mr., Devlin and his companies and
the consequent dOvetailing of the ac-
counts we suggest as perhaps the sim
plest way of arriving, with some de-
gree of accuracy, at the amount of
liabilities collectively owing to outside
parties and the total amount of as
sets to offset such indebtedness would
be to take the sum of the various prop
erty accounts and those due from out
side parties together with Mr.. Devlin'
holdings in outside companies, includ-
ing the Marquette and Roanoke
groups, as total assets, and that the
sum of bills payable, mortgages and
accounts paya Bile to outside parties
plus bonds owned by outside parties be
taken as total direct liabilities. To
such apparent direct liabilities should
be added certain contingent liabilities
" hlch these properties may or may
not have to pay.
