Eap|cs Mere Railroad
In Receivers Hands.
SUMMARY OF PROCEEDINGS
HELD In WILLIAMSPORT.

Before Judge Ormerod Monday
afternoon appeared Messrs. Candor
and Munson, representing the West
Philadelphia Title and Trust COM
pany and asking that receiver be
appointed for the Eagles Mere Rail
road company. The Railroad had
been ordered sold by the attorney
general in order to pay back taxes
but it is believed that the execution
of the writs will be stayed if speedy
action toward making settlement
is made. Attorneys for the plain
tiffs asked for a receiver in order
that certain sums of money can be
collected from the Williamsport
and North Branch Railroad COM
pany, which it is claimed owes the
Eagles Mere company for rentals,
etc. Judge Ormerod after hearing
the statements of counsel made an
order appointing III. Loussat Geye-
lin, receiver of the road.
The officials of the Williamsport
and North Barnch Railroad Com
pany state that the w. & n. B.
is not in default for rental, claim
ing that the money had been paid
when due and used for other in
debtedness by the Eagles Mere
Railroad Company.
The bond of III. Laussat Geyelin
receiver, was filed Wednesday.
The receiver will at once begin
action against the Williamsport
and North Branch | abroad COM
pany to recover back rentals for
the road, under the lease which ex-
lists. When this is done a stay will
be asked for in the matter of the
executions issued by the state for
taxes. The receiver does not take
possession of the road which is
held by the North Branch line un-
der the lease.

There is one thing we cannot
figure out. On Tuesday last, the
day set for Bro. Grounding to
make his first appearance and at
the same time to decide the OPEN
ing day for spring hats and spring
weather, Laporte was enveloped
in a heavy fog so dense that not a
sign Ola shadow could be cast by
an elephant. At the same time in
the same county not very far dis
tant the sun peeped through the
clouds fiercely enough to make Mr..
Woodchuck beat a hasty retreat to
his winter home. Now according
to popular augury the immediate
country is booked for winter long
after the Laportians are parading
in Summer neckties and ice cream.
If this is played on us by old Sol
as token of his appreciation for
our endeavor to make Laporte an
ideal summer resort we thank his
royal shineship. Anyhow it looks
as though good things come to
those who advertise.

not very much of it is being harvest
