Receiver Named For Henry
Sprotil & Go.
HAD BORROWED BIG SIMS.
Plaintiffs Allege That Bankers Cannot
Meet Demand Upon Them For Ad
ditional Margins or Pay as They
Mature Their Indebtedness.
Pittsburgh, Juno 0. The South Side
Trust company wns appointed rocoivet
of the brokerage linn of Henry Sprout
& Co., one of I ho wealthiest local linns,
following the Ming of a Mil In equity
against Henry Kprnul and N. It. Iivans,
doing business ns Henry Sproul & Co.,
In which .lohn tl. HarlKiur and William
J. Bauer are the plalntllTs.
Attorney Warren Y. Seymour of the
firm of Seymour, Patterson & Slebe
netk presented the bill for the plaln
tllTs. and Attorney Paul Kllllam, rep
resenting the defendants, tiled an an
swer admitting the averments made in
the bill and concurring In the appoint
ment of the receiver to take charge of
the assets of the linn. Judge James
It Maefnrlane made the order.
in their petition the plaintiffs state
that they are creditors of the defi lul
nnts In the sum of S'J.SOO and that the
defendants as brokers have borrowed
large sums of money on stocks, the
value of which Is subject to tluctua
tlon, and the lenders can dispose of
the collateral If the defendants do not
advance cash ns called for as addl
tlonal margins
Can't Meet Their Demands.
The bill alleges that the defendants
cannot meet the demands upon them
for additional margins or pay as they
mature their several indebtedness. The
petition recites that unless a receiver
were appointed at once the assets
would be dissipated and sacrificed and
certain creditors may or will secure
preference for their claims.
The petition asked that a receiver be
npHinted and that an Injunction be is
sued restraining the creditors from
demanding their claims or proceeding
to collect them and enjoining the de
fendants from selling or disiosing of
the assets. The order of court grants
the prayer of the bill. The answer of
the defendants simply admits that the
avermonts of the bill are practically
true.

Jersey City, N. J., June tl. Six boys
horribly burned nbout the face aud

powder were brought to the City hospi
tal In Jersey City by Harry Lehman,

witnessed the explosion and. cunklng
up a touring car that was standing In

At the hospital It was said thnt tho In
juries of the boys are so serious that
they may not recover.

mile from the Iludnon County park
playground the boys fouml the can of
gunpowder. In the purty wero Edward

thur Muusey, twelve years.
They carried the explosive to a spot

July celebration."
According to spectators, there was a
blinding Hash, bat no loud report, when
the powder exploded, indicating that
the top of tho can had been pried off.
The force of the explosion was sutfl-
clent to hurl three of the boys Into the
wndlng pool, several feet away. Two
others were thrown, screaming with
pain, to the ground. The boy who set
off the powder had his clothes almost
completely burned off him and wns un
conscious. All of them were scared by
