Sixth street, Pittsburgh.
The Philadelphia Ledger says:
"There is report on the street that
the Oil Creek & Allegheny River
Railway may be sold under foreclo-
sure of its second mortgage, which Is for
S1,100,000. The first mortgage is
| $780, 900, in all $3,6S0,000. The
alleged reason for this is determine
tion not to pay, under any cireum-
stances, certain litiga;ed claims Of old
standing against the company, on one
of which judgment was recently given
against the company in lower court.
This particular suit, we understand, is
to be carried further. There are,
however, severafotber claims of large
amounts of similar character, but so
unjust are they esteemed by some OF
the parties of largest interest in the
company that the threat has found
circulation that the company will de
fault in the interest of the second
mortgage bonds and permit the road
to go to sale under foreclosure rather
than pay them" &
