APPOINTED RECEIVER

The Court of Chancery yesterday ap
pointed Charles NJ. Meyers. of Newark.
as receiver of the Telegraph. Telephone
and Cable Company of America. This
company was Incorporated with capitAl
stock of $30,00o,e00 about six wears ago.
when it was presumed that it would be
a rival of the Bell Telephone Company
in this section AT that time it was stat
ed that the Astor interests were largely
engaged IN the enterprise, says the New
ark sAgiyeftisefy' alaas & ila -
For time there was evidence that the
company had such objects in view, for
there were negotiations of more or less
formal nature with various local COM
panies in this State. For several years,
however. nothing has been heard of the
company or its plans hereabouts. The
liabilities Of the concern are placed at
$925,562, and. the assets, it is stated, are
in excess of this amount. The New York
Office is in the American Surety building.
at 100 Broadway.

might decline to register their appearance

before committees and the counsel TO en-

contains no provision for the disbarment
