honor. The catafaulque occupied a
position directly under the dome of
'the State house- People passed
through the corridor from the east

The setting for the catafaulque was
strikingly beautiful. Stately palms,
luxuriant ferns tastefully placed about

Receiver for Carolina
Ice Machine Company?
May be Reorganized
The creditors of the Carolina Ice
Machine Company, of this city, filed a
petition for a receiver for the corpor
ation, this morning before Judge Ben
jamin P. Long.
In the answer to the allegations of
the complaintantSi it was admitted
that the company is insolvent and a
joint petition for a receiver was pray
ed by the attorneys for the ice ma
chine company and the complaint
ants. Judge Long stated that he would
appoint a receiver this afternoon or
tomorrow morning if the creditors
did not agree upon the person to be
named. The name of Mr. W. S. O'B.
Robinron was suggested while Judge
Dong was being petitioned, but no ap

The Carolina Ice Machine Com
pany, with home offices in Charlotte,
waa organized about two and a half
years ago with an authorized capital
stock of $200,000. Of this amount
over $100,000 had been subscribed
and paid in in stock. The manage
ment did an enormous business after
irutting solicitors throughout the
State and surroundings sections. The
orders which were received In sur
priisng -quantities were filled immedi
ately, but the machines were not per
fested and were not satisfactory, tn
stead of testing the machines before
they were shipped, the orders were
filled as soon aa the machinery parts
were completed. Trouble naturally
arose and many thousands of dollars
were spent in trying to place the sold
machines In good condition. Pay
ments on the purchased articles were
not made as they were not operating
satisfactorily and for months the com
pany has been in a bad way.
Mr. J. J. Vann. through Messrs. E.
R. Preston and Neil Graham, attorn
eys, institute stilt several weeks ago
for $4,000 for which sum he claimed
the company was indebted to him.
The company instituted a counter suit
against Mr. Vann for $2,500 alleging
that they were not only not due him

they should either go free or to the

Mary Gaston tomorrow morning, pr
maybe this afternoon if .the Jail dock

he alleged that the company was in

Maxwell & Keerans, one of the best
known law firms in the city, are said
tp represent at least 75 per cent of
the creditors of the ice machine com
pany. The financial status of the
company is bad. but there are many
stockholders who still believe la. the
ultimate success of. the patents and
many of them wlllbe found willing to
again subscribe stock in the now de
funct company, when a new organiza
tion has been formed.
One of the directors of the Caro
lina Ice Machine Company this morn
ing stated to a Chronicle reporter that
it is his firm belief that the patents
of the company are very valuable and
that a good business proposition will
arise from- the ashes of the stricken
concern.
"If the present stockholders wish to
Join hand and form a company to buy
in the stock, putting up a little more
money, I believe the patents of the
Carolina Ice Machine Company will
make good, and that all will lbe re
paid. I do not believe that the old
company could have ever gotten on
its feet aga'n the odds were too gre -However,
there are possibilities and
good ones and I for one am again
willing to put money into a - new or
ganizat'on of the Carolina Ice Ma
chine Company." said a large stock
holder this morning.
The announcement that a receiver
hap-been applied for by the directors
will not come as a great surprise to
the community at large. The stock
holders have realized for many months
that business affairs have been in a
most unsatisfactory way. The report
has been circulated neveral times, that
the Carolina Ice Machine Company
had gone to the wall and on the part
of the directors there hag been noth
ing but frankness in the statements
given to those inquiring into me con
ditions of things.

mother, next door to the defendant,

Fltcher was at her house until 11:30
o'clock the night of the robbery, and
that he went home and to all appear
ances retired.
Fletcher was discovered next day
irt close proximity to a box of the
grape Juice. He explained this flirt
ing with the stolen goods, by declar
ing that he had been presented with
the Juice by another, man, who llve$

seems, none of the colored folk were
now a-ble to locate, further : than to
say that he lived in Tennessee.
The judge declared that the pris
oner was guilty of a grave crime, when

Instituted Against Mr. Barrett by
Proprietor A., X. v Perkins, of the

Mr. J. O. Barrett was dismissed this
morning by Recorder D B. Smith,

cheat and- defraud the said. Central
Hotel of Charlotte. N C
Before all evidence was in before
'Squire Hilton, he. announced that he
would send the case to the Superior
Court as he. had no jurisdiction In
the matter. Several days ago Judge
B F. Long, stated that-the' case should
go before the recorder of the city, who
had Jurisdiction.
This morning, there was an array
of lawyers and witnesses before Re
corder Smith. When all evidence
was in the court announced that it
would dismiss" the defendant, that he I
believed that a'civlX action was in or
der against Mr. Barrett, but as thera
is no State law whereby a man can
be imprisoned for debt, that he ren
dered a verdict of not guilty.
It is probable that Mr. Perkins will
Institute a civil case.
