Marble Company in the Hands of Re-
ceivers-Mr. T. Scott Ofutt, attorney for
Major Winfield 8. McComas, on Saturday last
filed bill Of complaint in the Circuit Court.
here against the Green Marble Company OF
Baltimore county. The bill alleges that the
company was incorporated something over a
year ago, with capital stock of $3.50 600; that
It owns one tract and leases another tract OF
land near White Hall, on the Northern Cen
trail Railroad, upon which are located valuable
marble quarries and that q large sum OF
money was spent in developing the prop
erty installing machinery, &C., but that in
order to make the property paying invest
mentit would be necessary to have aswitch con-
Meeting the quarries with the Northern Central
Railroad installed.
to provide for operating the tquarries would
necessitate an expenditure of $40 900 or 2,OOO
that after the land was secured and the plant
installed, it was found that there was no money
left over TO run the quarrleg or TO make neces-
sary improvements, and that because of the
failure Of the stockholders to pay up the
amounts dre on account of their stock, there
was no money in the treasury to meet running
expenses, and the quarries were forced to lie
idle, ON account of which the plant has deteri-
GRATED in value and the machinery is falling
into disrepair. 1t is further alleged that GER
tain creditors of the company threatened to
enforce their claims against it, and that owing
to the lack of funds the company is in no po-
sition to pay; that its assets, If properly dis
posed of, are abundantly sufficient to pay Oh
ali its Indebtedness, but If put on the market
under forced sale would result in loss.
Judge Burke signed an order appointing
Messrs. T. Scott O1futt and Winfield 8. Nc
Comas, receivers.
