Stockholders of the Minnesota
Threshing and Manufacturing
Company Surprised and Pain-
ed at Receiving liisits from
Deputy Sheriffs

BRIDGEPOR'I‘, August 2.-—The
stockholders In the Minnesota Thresh-
lag and Manufacturing Company, or-
ganized under the laws of the State
of Minnesota, and having offices at
S’tillwater Minn" are just at present
being made the recipients of a flue fat
and handsome lemon, and of these
stockholders there are about sixty In
the County of Fairfleld, who will be

. compelled to "ante" handsomely on
proprtlon to the amount of stock held
by them. .

In the year 1884 the Minnesota
Threshing and Manufacturing Com-
pany was organized with a capital of
$7, 000 .000 to engage in the manufacture
of steam engines threshing machines,
farm implements of all kinds and var-
ious kinds of machinery. Large quan-
tities of the stack were sold throughout
New England, and in Bridgeport Nor-
walk and other places in Falrfleld
County a. farge number of people sub-
scribed to the stock and. paid their
good money for it. The stock was
listed at $50 par.

The company, however, did not flour
Ish 'asttt wasexpected to. and in 1901

 

a judgment against it for $2,389 was _

secured. After that,
came insolvent and
hands of a receiver.

Under the laws of Minnesota the
stockholders in the company are liable
for Its debts to the amount, of steel:
which they hold, having a par value of
$50 per share.

Under that law, an assessment has
been levied on the stockholders. The
first assessment levied is for 36 per
cent of the value of the shares or $18
per share.

Papers have on prepared and are
being served throughout the country
upon stockholders wherever found.

The stockholders who have not been
receiving dividends from their stock
had in many cases forgotten that they
owned it and the arrival of the deputy
sheriffs of Sheriff Hawley' s corps with
the papers which they are serving.
comes as a rude awakening It is es-
pecially painful to them to have to
meet this assessmelt as for a number
of years they had considered that their
original investment was a. "lemon," but

the concern he-
went Into the

how large a lemon they did not know it

iiniil the stock assessment was made.

It is too late for them to get out
of It, as they cannot transfer their
stock and even If they destroy it, the
hooks of the company will show that
they are owners of It.

Most of the stock of the concern
floated in Fairfleld County was put in
circulation by I). N .MoI-gnu, formerly
the treasurer of the United States, who

lived In Bridgeport.

loaned at various times and in various
sums previous to February 8. 1906, up-

money was obtained upon false repre-

The Stamford Trust Company is
made co-defendant because it Is in the
possession of a_ trust fund of $50000.

late A. J. Dell, fatehr of the defendant,
who directed In his will that his wife

STOCK OF GOLD IN .
THE UNITED STATES

Estimate Made for the Pur-
pose of Correcting Old Er-
rors

l

l

 

 

 

The retiring director of the mint,
George E. Robeits has been conduct-
ing an inquiry for the purpose of ver-
living the treasury estimates of the
stock of gold In the United States or
of tracing errors therein. For a. num-
l her of years the treasury estimates of

the stock of gold In the United States
have been questioned by competent
.students, Who have believed them to
be high. The aniouuts reported to be
In the treasury and III national banks
are. not. disputed, but the large. resi-
due assumed to be In other banks and
in circulation is considered a doubt-
ful quantity. The. possible sources of
error are three: Errors in custom
house, returns of coin Imports and
exports, errors in estimating the III—
diisirlal consumption, and the unre-
corded movement of coin in and out
of the country In the immediate pos-
session of travelers. .

Mistakes of Customs ~Officials.

Mr. Roberts says: "There being no
duty upon gold bullion or coin It fol-
lows that customs officials are not as
particular to verify the accuracy of
declarations as they would otherwise
be. if a. shipment of gold bullion or
foreign coin should he accidentally en-
tered at a custom house as United
States coin it would be taken tip in
the statistics as an addition to the
stock, biit the same shipment would
probably go directly to ome office of
the mint service and, after coinage
be added to the stock again, thus of.
feeling a duplication. Clerks were
set. at work to trace the entries at the
New York custom house and compare
them with the entries of foreign coin
and bullion iii the United States assay
office In New York city. The msult
was the discovery of such duplications
to an aggregate of $23,404,710, and It
is thought there Is warrant for raising
.Ihie by estimate to $30,000,000.

"The custom house figures for the
movement of United States gold coin
between Iiiis country and Canada
show iii the period under review it bul-
,Iinieo against this country of $15,115,-
1280. while the stock of United States
gold coin in the Dominion treasury and
In the chartered banks increased III the
some period from about $0,000,000 to
$43.914Ji'ri. it Is safe to estimate the.
loss to Canada in excess of the custom
house records at $25,000,000.

"It has been assumed that coin car-
ried out of the country by travelers
was usually brought back in the some
manner, but the probabilities are that
some of It Is melted down abroad and
finally lost to our circulation. Inquiries
covering this phase of the subject have
been addressed to all our consular of-
ficials In foreign countries and replies
received. The reports indicate that
less coin is carried away In recent
years than formerly, but first an in-
Iowanco should be nitrite. These loss-
es since 1878 are estimated at $20,000,-
000.

 

General Summing Up.
“Summing up the deductions of 035.
000. 000 prior to 1880, $30. 000, 000 In cunt
toms entries, 820, 000, 000 for the Cuna-
Itlnn movement, S25 000 000 for Indus-
trial consumption and $20, 000 .000 for
tho unrecorded exports. a total of
$135,000,000 is reached. This sum tak-
en from amount in other banks and In
circulation on June 30. 1000, would
leave that estimate at 0225303384.
bringing the calculation down to June
1. 1,907 .and making the deductions
gives II ioi'iil stock of gold coin and
bullion in the mints of 31.484.845.280.
of which 81.100.458.330 is held by the

treasury and national banks.

“in no other onimtry cf the world
can so large a percentage of the es-
timntcd stock of standard money be
definitely located.”

Coroner Doien Calls Upon the
Railroad Officials to Explain
Accident

Coroner Doton heard more evidence
yesterday afternoon in the case of

Lewis J. Peterson, the. railroad fire-
man, who was killed In a collision near
Danbury, Monday night From what
he has heard the coroner thinks the
signal operator made a mistake in giv-
Ing the passenger from an open signal
when there was a freight engine on
the track. There was a head on coi-
lision and Peterson was killed.

Henry P. Dessiireau of .Watcrbury,
fireman on th freight engine, was
filed before the coroner yesterday at-
fireman on the freight engine, was
backing down some freight‘cars when
the engine became uncoupled. He was
ordered, back to flag the passenger
train and took a red lantern.

After working in the glare- of the
firebox he was blinded by the outer
darkness for a minute and he stumbl-
ed, putting out the lantern. He did
not notice the lantern was out until
Tie waved it at the approaching train
and found the engineer paid no atten
tion.

Dessureau declared the block signal
was set for the passenger. train to go
ahead. He didn't know how It came
to be that way. Coroner Doten, has
written to Suptcrlniendent Pollack of
the Berkshire division asking him to
explain how the signal happened to be
set that way.
