! INDIANAPOLIS, June 1.-THE United
] -. IL I'll
der in the Indianapolis, Cincinnati and
Lafayette railroad case: Broadwell and
others, as trustees for the stockholders
of the Indianapolis, Cincinnati and La
fayette railroad company, a corporation
in bankruptcy, having brought up all the
known claims against the company,
except the claims OF Charles Dwight and
the Whitewater Valley railroad eOmpa- |
ny, applied to the district court Of the |
United States at indianapolis, by petit |
ton, to have the proceedings in bank |
ruptcy terminated-ChaTles Dwight |
having proved his claim before the reg
lister before the petition was filed. But /
the bankrupt corporation still determin- |
ing to contest the same, the petitioners |
rendered to the district court, in United |
States bonds, sum sufficient to |
cover this claim if it should |
be ultimately established. Pending the |
petition, the Whitewater Valley rail-
road company offered in proof to the
register, claim it held against the |
bankrupt, by reason of having paid, as
endorsed, part of certain aceeptances of
the bankrupt by the Globe bank of Bos-
ton, and by reason of being liable for
the residue, and also certain other
claims growing out Of contingent liabil-
tiles for the bankrupt. The district
court directed that the proceedings in
bankruptcy should be suspended and
terminated without making any provi-
sion for securing these claims of the
Whitewater Valley railroad company.
To reverse this order of the district
court, Charles Dwight and the White
water Valley railroad company present
ed petition for a review before the Uni
ted States circuit court at Indianapolis,
which to-day reversed the Judgment of
the district court but directed
that the proceedings in bankruptcy
should be terminated upon the connpa-
ny's continuing the deposit of United
States bonds in favor of Chas. Dwight,
and depositing with the clerk of the dis
trict court fifty thousand dollars of the
mortgage bonds of the Indianapolis,
Cincinnati and Lafayette railroad COM
pany, of the issue Of 1859, to secure any
demands of the Whitewater Valley
company, and upon its giving other sat
isfactOry security in the sum of eight
thousand dollars for the repayment of
the sum paid by the Whitewater Valley 1
to the Globe bank, if the same
should be ultimately established as a
rated claim against the Indianapolis,
Cincinnati and Lafayette railroad.
