clerks and schoolmasters. Asked what

NO RECEIVER
FOR ATLANTIC
RUBBER SHOE CO.

Vice Chancellor Howell OF Newark. ~.
j., In the chancery chambers at Newark
yesterday denied the application OF JOIN
r. Hegeman. president OF the Metropoli-
tan Insurance company of New York, for
the appointment OF a receiver for the At
lantic Rubber Shoe company OF Cranston.
The vice chancellor pointed out that the
result OF granting the application would
be Ito unseat the present directors for
the reasons stated in the bill and to ap-
point an Indifferent person receiver TO
wind up the companys affairs"
Mr.. Hegeman's application for a re-
ceivership was based on his opposition to
the resolution Of dissolution voted for by
two-thirds OF the stockholders not long
ago. He is the owner of $50 shares OF pre-
ferred stock and 2250 of common stock,
and he claims that the company is finan-
cially able TO continue the business In
stead OF dissolving as intended by the
two-thirds vote OF its stockholders.
The Atlantic Rubber Shoe company was
Incorporated under the laws OF New Jer-
sey and was organized Dec. 10. 1901, with
$40, 100000 capital stock to exploit the pa
tents Of Henry J. Doughty OF this city on
on rubber shoes, I'm other words, to man
ufacture rubber shoes in mold, a pro-
cess which has been sought with indiffer-
ent success by various manufacturers.
The Atlantic company remained In busi-
ness from May TO December. 1904, when
its board OF directors decided that the
process was failure, and voted 10 sell
the Cranstson plant, which is near the
point where Elmwood avenue crosses the
Pawtuxet river, for $4,000 in cash. It's
taxed value was $177,000.
Not long ago the plant was brought by
William III. Perry OF this city, who has
since taken out its inner furnishings, etc.
The machinery was sold, some OF II to
the Alice min in Woonsocket and other
parts TO Bristol mills connected with the
rubber interests in which Col. s. p. Colt
is factor. The plant has been shut down
since December, 1904. The money received
from the sale OF the establishment is still
in the bank and against 1t is chargeable
about s12,0 900 in liabilities.

Fatally Wounded.
Four negro convicts who recently
escaped from the Durham coal mines,
at Pittsburg, Ga. entered the home
of ]. E. benson, in Chattooga county,
Thursday afternoon, securing clothing
and provisions and $50 in money They
threw Off their convict garb and put
on some of the stolen clothes. A posse
formed and chased them.
They were oyertaken In a patch of
woods, and the posse began firing
upon them. One convict was killed
and two others wounded, perhaps ia
tally. The fourth convict escaped. The
sheriff of Chattooga county reached
the scene after the shooting.
This accounts for all of the nine
negroes who escaped from the Dur
ham mine. Five were captured near
the mines. and only one is still at
liberty. None of the three white es-
capes has been heard of since the
twelve got away. The escape was ef-
fected by one of the negroes, preach
er named Sam Johnson, gaining pos
session of key that unlocked a gate
to an abandoned wing of the mines.
The conyicts then found a weak place,
in the top of the shaft, through which
they dug in a short time.
