The papers in the case were filed in the omce ot the clerk of the court yesterday afternoon by At torney T. C. Guthrie, and are re turnable at the term of the Superior Court convening July 3. The Ryder - Cramer Wagon Works was organized with a capi tal stock of $20,000, being incor porated under the laws of Delaware and has been in operation nearly four years. In April, 1903, there was some change; the concern be came the Ryder-Cramer Wagon Works and the capital stock was increased to $40,000, all paid in. The petition filed yesterday al leges that the concern has steadily lost money since it began opera tion, this loss amounting to 20 to 25 per cent, on the sale of every wagon. The total liabilities are stated at $21,000,. or more than half the amount of the capital stock. Of the capital stock 200 shares, one half, is held by Mr. Cramer.

The property to be disposed of, if the receivership is granted, is composed of the factory site, build ings, and other improveni.ents,ma chinery, tools, wagons on hand and material. The value of the total assets is not given. Charlotte Observer TWO INJURED BY BURSTING OF TANK. Charlotte, N. C, June, 8. By the explosion of a soda water tank at the Brannon Carbonating plant in rear of No. 10 North Church street today at noon.

The negro fell on the rear platform, where he was standing, in an unconscious cendition from an ugly wound in the chest. As soon as possible physicians were on the scene. Drs. Moore and Nalle arrived first, and made an examination of Lyle's wounds It was found that the chest wound was a dangerous one, and that the right arm had been terribly lacerat ed by the fragments of the tank. Lyles was taken immediately tq the Good Samaritan Hospital, where his wounds were attended to. At first it was thought that the right arm would have to be amputated. -This, however, was not deemed advisable. The negro boy, Jake Leach, who was assisting in recnargmg mc ank, was blinded by the discharge of the gas arid water. This how- M. At- - ever, was only temporary, as me boy regained his sight an hour after the accident. In speaking of the accident Mr. J. D.

Con gressman Mann of Illinois has written Cougressman Hepburn of Iowa and Speaker Cannon of the House of Representatives with a view of having the house commit tee on interstate commerce meet some time before the convening of congress, in order to draft a new railway rate regulation bill. His idea is to draft a bill upon which the Republicans of .the House and Senate can unite, make a party measure and pull through. It will not follow the Esch-Town- send bill, for Mr. Mann thinks that would fix railway rates so thev could not be changed. Mr. Mann says, however, that congress can give the interstate commerce com mission power to name a reasonable rate to take the place of a chal lenged rate, and when that is sanc tioned by the courts it will become anxed rate.
