At the meeting to which the above satisfac-
torn report wasmade, the Trustees submitted
the following additional statement in rela-
ton TO the Coal Company Stocks not In
cluded in the assets rated TO pay 724 cents
the dollar ANY one familiar with these
stocks knows that they all came from one source,
and were palmed off ON Mr.. Boughter BY designing
men who knew in their hearts that Mr.. b. was not
worth 1.-THE of what he paid in solid cash for
them, and against whom proceedings may yet be
commenced to make them disgorge money for
which they had conspired together to make Charles
Rouehton steal from the poor widows, orphans,
nurses, seamstresses and servants. The following
is the list and and amounts OF some of the stocks

Although stranger to him, it is due to Col.
Reah Frazer to say, that he has been victimized by
Mr.. Bouahter. The Colonel has acted hOnorably
and robly in the whole matter.
Alta meeting Of the stockholders and depOsitors
OF Saturday, the Hon. Thaddeus Stevens, attorney
for the Trustees, offered the following resolution,
which was unanimously adopted:
Isored That the In ion should be enabled
elect seven with the Trustees and aid in the sssc
ton aud to assist Ia the manag smeut Of the To-
tuon aud that tie trustees be now asked 10 a NJ 70 s
Col. Frazer held about $4,000 of the stock.
He made strong appeal to the depostors to give
tie Directors an opportunity of retrieving their
character and credit, and generously offered to give
$4,000 toward paying the small depostors in full.
his speech was highly effective. The prospects
are now very fair that the institution will soon re-
sumo business-by the stockholders re-tlling their
stock and adding seven Directors to the present
number, to be chosen by the depOsitors, who shall
Jointly choose a Treasurer.
Think of Charles Boughter purchasing ABOUT
100000 Of stocks from such men as Ddr'd Lon
genecker, Judge Hltsnsten John +. Long, and John
r. Schroeder Poor Charley is not the only person
who has suffered by the issue OF certificates OF Coal
Companys tocks OF tie nominal par value Of some
S2O,CGO,000 from the shernOkin Region. You have
no knowledge to what extent this part ofthe coun
try has been deluged by this moonshine stock
Every man who is known to have had little
money laid by has been prayed with or bHttOnhoteO
into taking a few hundred dollars worth OF stock
being assured by these yultures that they would
insure the stock to yield $50 in a year or two.
She mokin Coal Stock vendors for obtaining money
under false pretenses. Some Of the bestlawyeri
in Pennsylvania have been retained by the victims
