Following interesting statements.
AT the time the decree I'm this cause
was entered II was contemplated that
sufficient money would be raised by
the stockholders to pay the debts OF
the corporation and Justify the dis
charge of the receiver. The receiver
has been notified however, that II will
be impossible to do this
owing TO the fact that there was
this possibility and owing also to the
nature OF the business. which can be
sold much more profitably as a going
concern than otherwise, II was abso-
lutely necessary for the receiver ia
keep the business OF the corporation
alive and buy new stock in order Ia
accomplish final settlement OF the
unfinished business and the winding NJ
OF the corr ator IN the manner nosl
advantageous to creditors.
"As the money from the stockholders
is not forthcoming, the receiver now
believes that the business OF the cor

narrow escape from being killed by
vicious COW. The animal charged and

him through with its horns. but Calvert

challenged her masters assailant 10
battle. which was accepted, and fu-
rious contest ensued. This gave the

IA, 1893. The office then lapsed, but
Gen. Winfield Scott was breyetted q
Northumberland from March 90,
1S47, for his eminent service in the
Mexican war. An attempt was made to
reward him by reyiving the office of
Lie'Itenant-General for him, and it
should have been done, but Gen Scott
was Wing, and the Democrats were
ficrcely opposed to giving him such an
honor, and his friends had to content

that time his commission as Major
General, L. S. a, was junior to those of
Hdlleck and Wool, and his commits
sion as Major-General OF Volunteers
was junior to those of Dix,
Banks, Butler, Hunter. Morgan

June /, 1888, when he was promoted to
full General, and died Aug. 3, 1883.
The act provided that the rank should
end with the life of Gen. Sheridan. The
rank was revived in 1895 for Gen. Scho-
field. Upon his retirement it was again
revived by the Act of June 6, 1900, for
Gen. Miles. and he held it until he re-
