Reports having become current that
coupons OF the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad falling due November let will
not bn paid, reporter visited the pre-
sident, who informed him it was true
that the treasury was not as full as they
would like to have it, but it was owing
to no fault OF the directors, as these gem
tiemen had already paid in more money
than they had promised, and, at this
time, it was difficult to obtain great
deal. He (the president) hoped the
payment Of coupons would be satisfac-
torily arranged. A proposition to the
bondholders and other creditors, to the
effect that the floating debt and several
OF the future coupons should be funded
into an income bond, is now under con-
sideration.
