The Plate Ola— Matter.
On Friday la»t the following entry
waa made in the Appearance Docket in
the Prothonotary s office
"The Safe Deposit and Trust Co f
Pittaburg. trustee vs the Standard Plate
<i!a-- Co.
••Sci. fi sur mortgage. recorded in
Mortgage Book '■>. pages 430 to i
writ issued, returnable to second Mon
day of February
• Jan. 8, 1888. C Walker, accepts ser
vice for defendant, etc
This means that our Plate Gits* Co ,
owes money that is due. and that its
creditors propose taking judgement
and selling the plant.
The coat of the plant as it stands to
day, was about one million dollars, and
there is said to be a first mortgage of
f520,000 upon it due in 1 '■* and a bal
ance of t247.<#>> of a second mortgage
now due.
F. J. Klingler of Butler now holds
and controls about one third of the
second mortgage bond- and it 's he
who is talcing action in th< matter for
the Safe Def<osit Co.
On Monday he filed a Bill .n Equity
against the company and asked that a
receiver oe appointed, and th*- court
fixed Sat unlay of next week, the rid. as
the time for hearing the case.
Whether or not Mr Klingler is acting
in the interest of the Pittsbnrg Plate
Glaso Co.. or Trust remain- to lie -een.
He published a card. Monday, denying
that he i-. and thi- wa.- answered by
by Mr Brvmer. the manager of the
Works here Tuesday, as follows
Mr Fred J. Klingler proclaims an
ownership of stock and bonds of the
Standard Plate <iia — Company for 11
years past. Now *n IH»S9 H J. Kling
ler & Co owned -'. me stock, which
they sold in that year Mr. Klingler
was then a member of that firm, and
we positively assert that from that time
until April, IW7. Mr F J Klingler
did not own one dollar s worth of stwk
nor a single bond of this company, nor
did it come to oar knowledge that he
claimed any bonds until October,
For some nnacconntable reason h<- has
commiserated this company and has
even gone so far as to write derogatory
letters, statements, etc. concerning its
credit Now we regr» t that we must
draw the sword, and beg herewith to
state that in l-IrJ the company was in
the hands of a recti ver for one year,
when he was discharge!, leaving a
second mortgage bonded indebtedr:'-*-
of and a floating debt of
r, 76 x
Sin ce that time the conn try has liwn
through the most tryi financial 'le
press ion. but nevertheless the plant taut
be-en kept running. excepting a hor*
ahnt-down in WX>, and -ince then has
reduced the second mortgage to *£2l.
600 and the floating debt ha- been en
tirely wijied out We paid hundreds of
thousands of dollars for wages mate
rial, interest, etc., and never defaulted
one day on our first or second mortgage
interest. Though this statement
cornea from ourselves, we further assert
that the plant is in every resjiect in bet
ter condition that at any time in the
period of its exi*tenreM»otwithstanding
Mr Klingler's assertion to the contrary
We challenge any contradiction to this
assertion
Not until Mr. Klingler got some of
the tecond mortgage leirids through
false assertions, written statement-:
which we have in onr possession, did
we experience trouble from any source.
The only amount dne is tyt.Mt for
which he did ask payment from one of
the officers on Monday, .January •!,
who said that provision would no doubt
be made when the Directors met in reg
nlar session on the third Thursday in
January, 1 *'.»* but to onr great surprise
and chagrin we were served with a no
tice from the sheriff on Saturday morn
ing, not only for the O.'iOO dollars dne
but. he entered'proceedings to dose the
works and have them sold We were
again more surprised Monday to learn
that he persisted in applying to the
Conrt for a Receiver, which application
was graciously declined until the com
|»any can have a hearing in dne time.
We particularly desire to state here
with that if »i»y one bus any claims for
material delivered or work done, they
may present the same and we will pay
it on presentation at thisofti-e in But
l«»r Only excepting the Bonded Indebt
edness.

over and tried to open the door, but.
there .was something against it By
exerting Ins strength he o|iened the door
and found thai Hamim-rlv had fallen
against it presumably in an effort to get
out before he was burned to death A
hot coal had fallen from the stove and
set. fire to the floor under the arm chair
in which Hammerly had la-en .itling
and the flames spread to th<* chair
which was badly chaired and tin- cush
ion and ls-d clothing which were on it,
were partly burned when Mr Orbinsoti
arrived and extinguished the flumes
When the lire started it. is thought, that
the sick man attempted to get out of
the house, but became exhausted and
sank down at the d'tor and would have
la*en cremated if Mr Orbison had not
arrived just in time to nav- him The
flames had not reached the man, and
