C. Pessane. Rev. Dr. John. H. Boyd, Major Charles Kellar and others. President Livingstone acted as toast- master. RECEIVERSHIP FOR GILCHRIST TRANSPORTATION CO. Judge R. W.

The annual meeting of the officials and engineers of the Pittsburg Steam- ship Co. and Pickands, Mather & Co., was held at the Hollenaen on Feb. 2; 3, and 4. Atbout 160 engineers were present.
