In our advertising columns to-day the Madison and
Indiana polls Railroad Company give notice that their
past due Coupons viii be paid at the Office of Messrs
Wipslow Lanier & Co. We learn that the affairs of
this Company have within the past year become much
improved by the payment of the claim of the State Of
Indiana and the removal of it, lien under late ACT Of
the Legislature, and also by the payment OF large
amount of floating debt contracted in building branch
roads and new track around inclined plane &C., and
that il III be shortly entirely liquidated. The aggre-
gate debt Of the Company has been very largely re-
duced. Mr. Frederick II. Smith of Newark, NJ D.,
formerly Of the New-Jersey Central Company ana
who stands very high for prudence and economy az
well az other qualities suitable to the station, has been
elected President Of this Company. Under his man
agement il is believed that the remaining untunded
liabilities of the Company will speedily be paid, the
interest coupons be hereafter promptly met and hnay
the shareholder are more to receive their divi
dends This Company was the pioneer railroad OF the
West for many years il paid large dividends, ana
now that its affairs have been well adjusted it l. be-
leved il may and will become again productive to it,
