Second Meeting TO-DAy-The Business
Done-The Voting for Trustee.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 16, 1874.
Many OF the creditors of Jay Cooke r. Co., dis.
gusted with the boisterous incidents which
characterized their meeting yesterday afternoon,
were not present at the meeting to-day, and
hence the crowd was not by many hundreds so
large. In order to prevent the repetition Of those
dsgracefu proceedings this morning the United
States Marshal was on hand, who, with his depu.
ties, insisted upon and preserved perfect order.
There was but little business OF an Interesting
order transacted during the frst hour OF the meet
ing nor was any excite ment whatever evfnced
until the proposal OF the following resolutaon ~

moved that the expenses OF the committee should
not exceed 100000. Some one Immediately in
situated that were so large an expenditure al
lowed there would be nothing at all left Tor the
creditors themselves. motion was then made
to drop altogether the question of compensation,
which motion, after a little debate was carried By
O majority OF lao votes. N'
The voting upon the various motions and
propositions set forth In to-day's HERALD
was then resumed, and continued until
five O'Clock this afternoon. Up to the
closing OF the polls at that hour it was pretty
evident that the proposition for q committee OF
creditors and the appointment OF one trustee was
likely to be carried, and that this one trustee was
likely to be the present receiver, Mr.. Edward M.
Lewis, President OF the Farmers and Mechanics
Bank, Of this city, as advised In the resolution
above.
Seven hundred creditors voted In the above elec-
ton to-day, but Mr.. Mason states that it will be
impossible to give the result tonight. The issue
will be rendered TO the Bankruptcy Court
tomorrow. The creditors will hold another
meeting on Monday afternoon to hear what the
Court decides upon in the matter. Mr.. Lewis was
the only candidate named for trustee and Is,
therefore. DOUBTLESS elected. The largest approved
claim was that OF the First National Bank OF
Washington, D. G., amounting 70 $500, 600
