Tho Creditors Meeting.

About three hundred creditors of the
bank of NJ. l.. Stewart & Co. met at the
Armory on Wednesday afternoon, and
talked over their affairs. AS the meet
ing was not formal or legal, no action
of which the U. s.. District Court can
take cognizance resulted but various
knotty points were cleared up.
The meeting was called to see how
depositors felt towards securing an
attorney to represent them in the bank
ruptcy proceedings and it was learned
that comparatively few think a lawyer
necessary at this time. Most of the re-
marks were expressions of confidence in
the Detroit Trust Co. and Mr.. Stewart.
The meeting finally decided to ap-
point James Osburn, Rev. G. H. Hanks,
T. o. Christian, Mayor S. E. Parkill
and E..J. Sheldon as a committee of
FIVE to serve the depositers' interests
without pay.
G. A. Perrigo presided at the meeting
and M. Miner acted as secretary. 1t
transpired that the meeting of creditors
to elect trustee will take place at the
Armory in about two weeks, and that
the examination of Mr.. Stewart will
also, at later date, occur in this city.

to secure an additional appropriation.

Gets a New Franchise.

The Grand Rapids & Ionia Interurban
Railroad, in which John T. Rich and E.
M. Hopkins, of Detroit, are the moving
spirits, has been granted a new fran
chise by the city of Ionia, the old fran
chise having expired on May 10. Mr..
Hopkins explained to the aldermen that
the desire of the company to get all
four systems-the Ionia, Belding, Owos-
so and Pontiac lines-under way at
once, had been the cause of delay, but
inside of go days would surely be ready
to cooperate with the city in putting
down the new pavement and tracks.
The company has completed it's right
of way entirely across Ionia county
The route has been changed to enter
Ionia via the highway. The track will
run through Main street. Michigan
