(OOD FOR THE ROADS.
Fewer Railroads in Receivers' Hands
than Since 1887.
Not for years has the number and magni
ide of the 'omnl~*ies for which receivers
were appointed been so small in 'the samo
length of timec as in the three months from
July 1 to October 1, says the 1lailway Age.
Only four roads.with 687 miles of lines and
representing 823.438.000 of bonds and stock.
were turned over- to ree-eivers in that period.
and of these the most important, the St.
Joseph and Grand Island. with 445 miles and
13.235.000 of eapitaliz.ation, might properly
he charged to the account of 1892 when the~
Union raeiie, by which it was controlled.
went into insoh:eney. If this road is -taken
out of the list on the grounad of duplicatios,.
the receivership record for the'la-t thre"
months will come (down to four roads with
ony 242 miles of line and 810.103,000 of
bonds and debt-a~ remarkably smralI totchl.
The receivership record for tbe entii-e yea r
will be chiefly notable for its -sma&llness. It
is thus far only about half ais large as that
for the Tirst nine maonths of 1894. wher thirtv
-t wo roads, with G.254 miles. and 8361,656.000
of eapital had been turned over to r.eeivers.
Compared with the black -year. 1893, whr n
sevntv-foIur companies. representing 29,30
miles.~and 81.781.000 of eapital, confessed
insolvehey. the showing for tife present yea r.
and espe'einlly for the last three months mo
der consideration, is indeed -cheering. .t
does not seem likely .that the list .will be
greatlyincreased in the av arter now passing,
and..the prospect is good t-hat the receiver
ships of 1895 will prove to represent a small
er :umber of roads than in any year smD.g
186. when the list included only nine com
panie. operating 1.047 miles and involving
$90,18.00 ofsecurities.
A man with a painful expression of
countenance sat on a dry goods box:
"Are yon ill?" some on'e asked. "No."
"Have you lost anything?" "Ne ver
:aa auy thing to lose." "~Wha's the
natter then?" "I'm sitting on a
w." :'Why don't you--geu up?"
"Well, that was my first im-piile., mu
