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. SLABTOWN Special to THE HERALD, Miss Lydia and Mr. John A. Deoher were the guest, of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Willert on Sunday. Slabtown school was closed on Monday on account of the storm and bacl condition of the roads. 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.
