SOO Co. ASSETS SOLD BY PUB
LIC AUCTION.
SPEYER Sc COMPANY THE ONLY BID,
r. ERs.
.New York, .Dec. 15.—The assets
of the Consonsolidated Lake Super-
ior Company, held by Speyer & Co.
for a loan of :$5,000,000, were bought
in. at public auction by Speyer
& Company to -day for $1.500,000,_
Theirs was the only bid. The sale
was hell in spite of several protests
by representatives of other credi-
tors.
The sale took place in the pres-
ence of a large crowd, which in-
cluded former President Clergue,
of the Consolidated Lake Superior
Company, and Director Hay of the
Imperial Bank of Canada. Objec-
tions to the sale were submitted by
a lawyer representing Francis C.
Davison, of this city, owner of 100
shares of Lake Superior common
and 50 shares of preferred, on the
ground that the Speyer loan had
been contracted without the know-
ledge or consent of the stockhold-
ers. and was therefore illegal ; also
by the Stanley Electric Company.
of Pittsfield, Mass., which recently
filed a Mechanics' lien for $60.000,
for machinery ; another by the leg-
al representative of Receiver J. G.
Caruth, of Philadelphia, and still
another by Foley Bros., Potter &
Whalen, of Philadelphia, who claim
to have a lien on the Algoma and
Hudson Bay Company, one of the
Lake Superior's constituent com-
panies.
Just before the auctioneer asked
for bids, he was served with a no-
tice that suit had been begun in the
State Supreme Court, to set aside
the sale.
Mr. Speyer declined to say what
disposition the syndicate intend-
ed making of the collateral now
owned outright, but a meeting of
the members will probably be held
later in the day and some statement
will follow. Messrs. Speyer and
Tweed were asked what interest
if any, the United States Steel Cor-
poration /night have from now on
in the property. They answered
that to the best of their knowledge
the Steel Corporation would have
no interest whatever.
REORGANIZATION STILL POSSIBLE.
Toronto, Dec. 15th.—The result
of the sale of assets of the Consoli-
dated Lake Superior Co., to Speyer
& Co. to -day, was not unexpected
by those in touch with the com-
pany's affairs here. They have
known all along that there was
scarcely a possibility of anyone
bidding. on the securities when auc-
tioned by Speyer & Company, but
Speyer & Company themselves.—
James
hemselves—James Conmee was asked what ef-
fect the sale would have on the sit-
uation. " It will have no effect at
all," he said. " They have been in
possession for two or three months
now. This may strengthen their
legal position somewhat, or they
may think that it strengthens it
somewhat, but it won't." From
Mr. Conmee's remarks,' it must be
concluded that the whole question
of the legality of the Speyer mort-
gage has yet to be tllreshed out.
Other gentlemen prominently
identified with the company ex-
pressed themselves similarly, and
agreed if it had any effect at all it
will be to still further complicate
matters.
"How will it affect the the plan
of re -organization ?
" That will go ahead," said one
of the legal light, " Here's where
the trouble may come in. Now
that the formal sale has been made
it may be harder to obtain the re-
lease of the property when the $8.-
000.000 is raised. But I think (and
others think with me) that a sale
made without the :unction of the
Canadian Courts, in the face. in-
deed, of the order made yesterday
by the Canadian Courts, can. have
no effect.

The following of interest to our
readers was taken from the report
of the Huron County Council pro-
ceedings of last session :—
TER HOUSE OE REFUGE ENLARGEMENT
The report of the building com-
inittee in reference to the enlarge-
ment of the House of Refuge was
the subject of a lengthy discussion
in committee of the whole. Finally
it was decided to report recommend
ing that the report be amended by
adding to the last clause that the
committee ask for tenders, and
have the same ready to be placed
before the council at the next ses-
sion in January.
In council it was moved by Mr.
Spaokman and seconded by Mr.
Lamont, that no action be taken far
the erection or addition to the
House_ of Refuge at the present
time.
This motion was lost on division,
by 7 to 8, and committee's report
sustained and adopted.
THE ANATOMY AOT.
Moved by Mr. Miller ancll second-
ed by Mr. Loohart, that this coun-
cil memorialize: the Legislature to
amend the clause in the Ontario
Anatom"v Act,wherein, after death
the bodies of all inmates of the
Houses of Refuse in this Province
and unclaimed by friends after a oer
tain time be handed over to the
School of Anatomy, as this has a
very depressing effect with the in-
mates of such institutions.—Car-
ried.
