the schedule The Tribune has been challenged
TO submit its copy of the schedule to inspection.
This challenge it does not accept; and the cir

FRANCIS LIEBER, LID, an eminent German
scholar, who has resided in this country many
years, died at his residence in New York,
Wednesday. DIR. Lieber was born at Berlin in
March, 1900, and came to this country in 1927.
He resided first in Boston, and, while there,
edited the Encyclopedia Americana, which was
published at Philadelphia between 1929 and
1888. He did some other literary work, and
changed his residence to Philadelphia. In 1885
he became professor of history and political
economy, in the College of South Carolina. He
held this position until 1858, when a rage Of
pro-slaveTy passion broke out against him, and
he was compelled TO leave the state. He went
to New York, where he has remained ever
since, occupied with the duties of similar pro-
fessorship in Columbia College. He has pub
lshed many works on topics connected with his
special studies, and won the respect and friend
ship of such men as President Woolsey, Chan
cellor Kent, and Others like them. He leaves
wife and one son. DR.. Lieber was firm oppo-
nent of slavery. His principles and sympathies
necessarily made him a republican, and an ear
nest supporter of Grant and Wilson. In Prussia
he was a liberal, and was once arrested on this
account. Before coming to this country, he
studied at the university of Jena, and resided
for some time in Italy, in the family of Niebuhr,
the historian, then Prussian ambassador.
Some of those interested in the securities Of
the Vermont Central Railroad, do not under
stand clearly the actual position of these srcuri-
ties The principal liabilities of this road are
as follows: / Equipment 8 per cent bonds is
sued, s, OOO,O 600; 2. Vermont and Canada s per
cent stock, So 900, 900; 8. Vermont and Canada
guaranteed per cent bonds, 100000; 4. the
so-called first mortgage per cent bonds, Ss,-
900 GOO; s. the so-called second mortgage per
cent bonds, 81 500 600. The road has some other
liabilities, besides its very large floating debt,
such as the Missisquoi bonds, and the Stanstead,
Sheflord & Chambly bonds. We can not state
their position accurately but they appear to pre-
cede the "irst mortgage" bonds. The securities
which take precedence of all others, are the
equipment bonds. Consequently, these are
the safest and best. Next come the
Vermont and Canada liabilities. Therefore
the "nrst mortgage bonds are preceded by
other securities amounting to not less than
S7,OOOOOO including the bonds whose position
we have not indicated. Alter them come the

their candidate for governor would not endorse
