Third st VBNNRtt'S THRBB DAYS. The Smooth Mean Katcr Has the City and the New England Water Company Bondholders In a "Box." In Fact, Venner Heats the Chinese "Boxcrn." The mortgaging of tho New England Water Works plnnt on Monday to Mr. Lyman, for Urn confessing of judgment to the United States Water Company on Tuesday for $25,010.20, was followed on Wednesday by confessing judgment to and the appointment of receiver In tho person of Truman A. Taylor, of this City, for many superintendent of the water plant here, What does nil this maneuvering on the part of smooth Mr. Vennor mean? A well known man in this oily, who has had considerable experience, today gave it us his opinion that the Imperlurable bean eater had both the bondholders of the New England Company and the city in a fact lie out-boxed the Chinese "Boxers" by his three days' maneuvering in tho court.

When Henry Watson owned the plant he Issued a lot of bonds, which became a flrstllenon the plant.iThlrly- five thousand dollars of these bonds hnve never been paid and they have a prior claim to all other creditors. In order to prevent the owners of these bonds from foreclosing on the plant and selling, Mr. Venner gave a mortgage to Lymai) on Monday. On Tuesday he confessed judgment to the United States Wutor Works Company for on the third day. uf- ter confessing judgment for the above amount, an execution was issued and no property was found, and Mr.

Tay- was appointed receiver. In due time the plant will be sold by order of the court, just as the gas plant was sold one year tigo, for a the bondholders will gel one of Venner's unc'tious smiles, just as the bondholders of the gas plant col a broad grin for their sixty-thousand dollars in bands, and the company will be reorganized. Venner will have a $200,000, plant ind the bondholders will have their bonds, which will be worth half a cent a pound as old paper. But where does the city conic into Venner's box? Well, just wait. Mr.

Venner's contract will be out by the time these events take place. Thu pumping station is owned by the Boston AVater and Light Company, which never had a contract with the citv. The New England Company is defunct; its erly is sold. All dealings will necessarily be with Boston Company. The old pumping station has been leased to the new electric service company for 25 years, at a nominal rental of $1 per year.

The city cannot take possession of that property and therefore it has no place to make connection with the pipes that formerly belonged to the New England Company. It is out in the cold, says the gentleman and there is therefore nothing left for it to do but make contract with Venner, or build a new plant, and gelwater where it can during the time of building. If the above statement is anywhere near correct, we are of the opinion that Altonians will have more cause than ever to sing blank, all ye who cau, Ulank, blank, that Uoslon mau. Even though he is now giving us water "clear water, sparkling and bright, as the liquid light." It is fortunate that Mr. Venner's courl period did not last more than three days, as no one can foretell what might have happened to Alton and the New England Water Works Company.

Their fate, as it is, is almost as uncertain as was Richard Hardy's at the close of his seven-day period.

Pans. IN A RECEIVER'S HANDS. Now England Water Works Company's Affairs In a Worse Tangle Than Eve.r -Hupt. Taylor Is Receiver. Truman A.

Taylor, superintendent of the Alton works, was appointed receiver for tho property of the New Fngland Water Works Co. yesterday by i.Tudge Hartzell of the Circuit Court. The receivership was made on petition of the United Water Works Co. in whose favor the New England Water Works Company confessed judgment Monday to the amount of It Is said by the attorney for the plaintiff and for the defendant company, Levl Davis, that the application for a receiver was made to protect the interests of the United Water Works Co. in the face of lions to a very great held by other persons.

The proposed action of the bondholders, who have declared their intention of seizing the property because of defaulted interest, caused the summary action of the other creditor, the United Water Works Co. Anson W. Lyman, who was given a mortgage on the property of the New England Co. for last Friday, was made a defendant with the remain- lug creditors. The doings of Mr.

Venner the past week have mystified every one If the mortgages and suits are genuine and there is no attempt to evade payment of just claims, also if the whole is not a scheme to embarrass the city in its efforts to secure possession of the water works plant, some one has lost a large amount of money. There is no satisfactory explanation of the recent moves in court. it was said today that the first deed of trust to secure the S31.000 loin held by C. A. Caldwall trustee, gives the creditors the right to sell tho property, while the subsequent loans made by tho New England Water Works Company are made under a law that requires the foreclosure made in a chancery court.

There was danger that the holders of the first deed of trust might take the property and the other creditors could redeem it. -By taking the case into the courts and having a receiver appointed the pri ority of the various claims will be.ad- judged and the courts will fix the order in which the creditors shall realize on their security. Mr. T. A.

Taylor today filed his bond in the sum of $10,000 and qualified as receiver of the property of the New England Water Works Co. Go to M. Moritz for your spring suits. Spring goods now ready for inspection. Anheuser-Busch Brewing Company Transactions.
