FLEITZ'S LETTER
CAUSED SENSATION
Was Written in Connection, -with the
Anglo-American Building nnd
Loan Association Muddle.
The application made by J. A. Car
penter, esq., of this city, and other
Pennsylvania stockholders of the An-glo-Ameilcan
Huildlng and Loan as
sociation, to have a temporary lecelv
er appointed for that corporation, has
dex-eloped into a most Intricate and
rather sensational case.
The application for the appointment
ot the lecelver was originally made
on Dec. 1 before Judge Lacombe, of
the I'nlted States Circuit court. He
took the matter under advlbement nni
while- It was under consideration, the
oflicers of the association hurried the
mutter before the New York state
courts', and succeeded in having two
referees, James M. Dickey and E. D.
Dickinson, appointed.
The Pennsylvania stockholdeis xvero
not pleased with this proceeding, be
cause they believed that the men ap
pointed w-ere too closely connected,
politically and otherwise, with the di
rectors of the company.
They went bofote Judge Lacombe
again last Fiidav, asking that he an
nul the decree of the state court pro
viding for 'the appointment of the re:
forces, and appoint a receiver, under
the Federal laws. At this hearing, a
loiter .xvas read from Deputy Attor
ney General Fred AV. Fleltz, of this
city, which caused quite a sensation.
In this letter, Mr. Fleitz contended
that the Pennsyh'anla stockholders
had serious doubts, about being able
to secure justice in the? New York
state courts on account of the stand
ing and influence of the officers of the
company. Mr. Fleitz's letter brought
forth an indignant protest from AVII
llam U. Hornblower, attorney for the
company, xvho said that his letter re
flected upon the courts of New York
and xvas "highly Improper."
JudgV fjaccmbp handed down an
oninlon on Satuiday denying the ap
plication for the appointment of a
temporary receiver, expressing the be
lief that "the pioperty will undoubted
ly be piopeiiy safeguarded during the
time xvhlch may elapse before the final
hearing."
t'pwards of $1,Qi)0,0u0 ol the com
pany's assets are hi this Mate and up
wards of $200,000 Is either Invested or
owing to stockholdeis in Northeast
ern Pennsyh'anla.
Mr. Fleitz and his partner. J. W.
Carpenter, were the poisons to move
against the association, as soon as
they learned the nature of its busi
ness methods.

Western railroad, excepting the
Scranton Coal company, have been

uic each represents in the deal are:
Johnson Coal Co., Dickson City ,100,000
Mt. Pleasant Coal Co., Scranton WJj.OOO

sixth Interest which the AV. T. Smith

THE EXCEPTIONS.
The Pine Hrook and Capouse col
lieries of th Scranton Coal company,
and the Pancoast colliery, at Throop,
xxlll continue to be operated Inde
pendently, at least for a time. These
collieries xvere purchased by the Dixon
.xi Eddy Hi in, xvho are, practically, the
coal agents of the Ontario and AVest
ern; and their coal is iarsured for the
Ontario and AVestern. The Pancoast
.olllcry tit present ships over the
Delaware, Lackawanna and AVestern,
under a contract xvhlch has five years
yet to run. AVhen this contract ex
pires Its output will likely be diverted
to the Ontario and Western.
The purpose of the consolidation xvas
to take up the small six per cent,
mortgaged with xvhlch the different
! companies aie burdened and by xvlp
ing them out and issuing a new five
per cent, mortgage, decrease the in
j iciest charges.
I The Martin Trust company, of New
1 York. Is financing the deal. It ad
x'ances three and one-half million dol
lars and takes a first mortgage on all
the properties for that amount. The

money paid over to Frank E. Piatt,
president and treasurer of the Elk
Hill Iron company, In Nexv York last
Saturday. The papers xvere offered
1 for recording yesterday to Recorder of
I Deeds Fred AV. AA'arnke.
I The sum of $7,850 Is icpresented in
I the internal revenue stamps aliixed to
' the various papers. The deeds trans-
ferlng the several properties to tho
hlk Hill company pay $1 a thousand
on the put chase price in revenue. The
Johnson Coal company deed, alonj,
took $2,100 xvorth of stamps. The
moitgage bore $1,730 xvorth of stamps,
or fifty rents for each thousand dol
lars' worth of tho three and one-half
millions.
The mortgage Is printed in pam
phlet form and covers 127 pages. In it
is contained a description of every
piece of property held by all the
merged companies.
All the papers bear dute of Dec. 1,
Kiiin. V. E. Piatt and J. E. Burr, of
this city, and John B. Kerr, of New
York, icpresented the Elk Hill com
pany in the deal. Tho trust company
xvas represented by Hornblower,
Byrne, Miller S- Potter, of New York.
The Elk Hill Coal and Iron company

of tho coal world. It will -have eleven
collieiles with an output ot about 2,
OiU.ooo tons yearly. This and die
Scranton Coal company, together with
the several Individual collieries xvhlch
send their coal over the Ontario and
AVestern, xvill give this road a coal
tonnage of more than 2,500,000 tons)
yearly.

lieries. The Green Ridge Coal com
pany's slope, on North Washington
avcrue, and theermyn & Co. initios
at Old Foigi;, are among those, xvhlch,
It is said, the Ontario and Western
people are negotiating for and likely
