PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 6.-The holders of Pennsylya-
mia Railroad stock in this city have been for some
time rendered uneasy by all sorts OF flying rumors
concerning the stability of that mammoth corpora
tion To-day statement that Col. Scott had deter
mined upon a resignation from the Vice-Prcsidency
Of tho Company gained much credence For sec
ond time this is emphatically denied by Col. Scott
himself The embarrassment Of COL Scott az one Of
the indorsers of the California and Texas COnstruc-
ton Companys notes ID also made the basis Of many
rumors, none of which could be traced this after
noon. The notes indor5cd by Presidents Thomson
and Houston have not been protested. meeting OF
tho Board Of Directors Of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company will be held tomorrow, when the anxiously
agitated question of dividends will probably be set
tied. The most persistent effort, this afternoon
failed TO induce any Of the officials to commit them
selves to even the expression of surmise on the
subject. The well grounded impression is that the
arrangement to be determined upon will give cash
payments on small amounts of stock aud scrip
large amounts.
