In consequence Of the failure of the Great Western
Railroad Company of Illinois TO make proper running
arrangements with the Lake Erie and Wabash Road,
by which course much business wa. diverted from the
line and by the inability Of that Company to its
indebtedness to the Wabash Company for collections
on freight traffic the latter Company were unable
to-day to pay the interest falling due its second
mortgage bonds. The matter, however, is in course
of arrangement, with good prospects of success and it
hoped that in few days the coupons will be paid

men, and will do everything possibloto place the Com
