THE SECOND MORTGAGE BOND HOLDERS HOLD A
MEETING IN PHILADELPHIA.
The second mortgage bondholders Of the Will
mington and Reading Railroad Company met at
Assembly Buildings in Philadelphia, yesterday.
Mr.. John Shouse, of Eaaton, presided, and Mr..
Hugh De Haven acted as secretary. G F. Baer,
ESQ.,, made detailed statement. He said that
the affairs of the road have been growing worse
On the 1st of November, 1872. the total funded
debt of the road was So, 440, 9l0.43. In 1873 it
was increased from that amount to 80 800 600.
In 1874 it was increased to 1906, 09773. They
have created first mortgage OIL their branch
road Of half g million. They have given to
their directors a judgment bond Of $79,276 H..
Take the interest not paid on the second mort
gage and interest past due on the the first mort
gage, and you will find that since default WAS
made on the second mortgage in 1874 the in
debtedness OF the road has been increased about
$700,000.
John G. Bullitt, Esq, then read document,
promising that the second mortgage bondhold-
ers believed it to be to their interest to procure
a sale Of the road, it's property and franchises,
as speedily as possible. and proceedings have
already been taken to accomplish this end 1t
then proc, eds to bind those Of the bondholders
who may sign it in an agreement authorizing
Henry Bushong. Hugh De Haven. George NJ.
Troutman, Charles 3. Snyder, and D. H. Reech-
er, to buy the road advertised to be
sold on the 22nd. (that portion in Pennsylvania
and also to institute other proceedins OF foreclo-
sure, and sale, and to buy the road in behalf of
the signers to the agre ement. they agreeing to
deposit with trust company their bonds, sub
ject to the order of the committee named. to be
used in payment of the purchase Of the road, if
made. The bondholders also agree to pay n
per cent on their bonds into the hands OF the
Messrs Bushong, to meet expenses. Should
the purchase be made q new corporation is con-
tempIated The committee were also ''request-
cd and directed to inquire into the past man.
agement Of the company"
A number OF the largest holders Of the second
mortgage came forward and signed the agree-
ment.
The Philada- Ledger says When it is re-
membered that the first mortgage bonds are
now selling in the market at about so per cent
Of their face, and the second at 10, there would
seem to be little profit to result from foreclos-
ure Of the second mortgage bonds"

request. to protect him in Council OF Minis

index 10 tho Pro,nonotary,s Records

AN EXTENSIVE UNDERrARiNd-wHATT THE COST Is
LIKELY TO DE.
At the session of the Legislature, held in 1873, a
bill passed authorizing the re-indexing of the
rrotlonotary's records at New Castle on the
Campbell system. The Prothonotary, II.
Cooper E-q, was authorized to transcribe the
index, and W. $. McCaulley. Samuel M. Har-
iingtun. and Henry t. Dupont, Esqs., were nam
ed III the bill to supervise the work, the Levy
Court being required to give them reasonable
cumpensation.
Of the labor, for which the Levy Court has al
lowed him the sum of $1,000. which is not con-
t.ered an unreasonable compensation for the
amount OF work performed. The Commission
crs named met recently at New Castle to make
arrangements for performing their portion of
the duties, by an examination of the record, and
upon calculation, found that il each of
them would examine one entry every
minute 1t would take about III days to examine
tho whole record. THIS calculation was made
npon the supposition that all would be correct,
but where there were such vast NUMBER there
would doubtless be some upon which a consulta-
nln would have to be held which would prolong
the time to probably 200 days. The Commission
er then considered the question of pay, and
estimated their services at SIS per day of 6
hours which i'll 200 days would have amounted
to 5000 each, and including the umount paid to
the lrnthnnotary would make the cost of index
mg 1000. Their proposition was laid before
the Levy Court, aud owing to t le cost being
more than had bean contemplated by the Legis-
latnre, the subject was, on motion OF Mr.. Febi-
ger, laid over for future consideration, in which
condition II still remains.
The index, however, has been transcribed,
and will be used by the Prothonotary and the
lawyers instead of the old one, but whether
they would stand a test i'll court, until having
been examined by the Commissioner in accord
anee with the law IL question not decided.

Hynen,s harvest.

rHREE CHURCH WEDDINGS IN TWENTY FIVE HOURS
OTHER PRIVATE NUPrIALs.
Society circles in Wilmington have rarely ever
been 30 much exercised es within the past twen-
ty-five hours ending at noon to-day. Three
church weddings have occurred within that time,
and this is something unusual for this city.
None Of these weddings, however, were what
is called brilliant in Dress although this import
ant adjunct was not neglected. The brides were
all very neatly and tastefuy attired in travel
ling suits, and the grooms in the customary suits
of black.
The first couple to be wadded was Morris D,
Lamborn and Miss Emma M KAY, both of Will
mington. The ceremony was performed by
Rev. ]. q. Merritt, at st. Paul's M. L. Church,
yesterday at II o'clock.
At II. 90, this morning, Mr.. B. Frank Moore,
of Atlanta, Ga, and Miss Mary E. Countiss, of
this city. Rev. ]. E. Smith performed the cere-
mony at Grace church.
The last of the ceremonies was performed at
Hanover church by Rev. L. Marks, Mr.. A. ].
Rumford and Miss Ella MCDANIEL being the con-
tracing parties
In addition to the above there have been sew
eral private weddings, and others still are to
take place, Altogether Hymen has not had such
harvest in Wilmington for many years. if ever
before.

Nellie Grant,

Nellie Grant was hardly a pretty girl, except
with the lovellness Of fresh YOUTH but her side
face she had a retrousse nose and round chin
is charmingy piquant. Her chief beauty is her
arms and neck, which are perfect in contour and
white as alabaster. This beauty of form she in
herts from her mother, who has such pretty
foot that the young officers of her husband u
staff used to compete for the honor Of helping
her in and out Of her carriage just to it. The
only accomplishment Nellie ever boasted of WAS
dancing. and that she did divinely. She was not
literary or artistic, or conversational, and she
never pretended to be; but when Charles Sum-
ner, her fathers enemy, died, she went out to
the greenhouse and gathered with her own
hands flowers for the she sent to his coffin.
So it was for such little acts-for sort of sim
cerity about her that despised to assume what
she did not possess-that people here, even with
out any personal acquaintance, had all Affection
for her, and they regard her with an interest far
removed from idle curiosity Washington Let

The Smyrna Bank.

REsIaNAT1oN OF PRESIDENT sToCRLEy-HKErCH OF
THE INSTITUTION.
Ayres Stoclley. Esq, has resigned the Presi-
dency of tho Bank Of Smyrna, and David J.
Cummins, Esq, has been elected pro tenn. to
the vacancy. Mr.. Stockley has been an officer
of the institution for nearly fifty years. He Was
elected a Director i'll 1928 Cashier in 1895, aud
President il 1865. In all these capacities he
served with honor and won the reputation of
being an able financier.
The Smyrna Times prints the following sketch
OF the institution, which was chartered In 1891,
and went into operation the following year un-
der considerable embarrassment arising from
tue opposition Of the friends of the Commercial
Bank of Delaware, the only Bank In Smyrna
prior to that time. After many years of strug-
gle, the hostility arising from this contest for
public favor WAS calmed down, and the expra-
ton OF the charter of the Commercial Bank ter
minated the career of that institution. The Bank
of Smyrna commenced its business career with
Hon. Isaac Davis as President. and Samuel 81.
Hodsou, Esq, Cashier This organization
was contiured until 1886, when Mr.. Hodson re-
signed his position and was succeeded by A.
Stockly. Mr.. Davis held his position Prssi-
dent until 544 when he resigned and the Hon.
Jacob Stout WAS elected his successor. Mr.
5tout's health declined and he resigned in 18A1.
Jacob Raymond, Esq was then elected President
and continued in discharge of the duties of the
station until his death in 1858. He was succeed
ed by Hon. P. Spruance, but, in consequence of
failing health, Mr. Spruance resigned in 1856,
when Mr.. Stockly was transferred from the sta
ton of Cashier to that OF President, and W. N.
Bell was appointed Cashier.
The stockholders have never failed to secure
a semi animal dividend from 1922 to 1874; gen.
orally of uniform rate for certain periods OF
time. Commencing with three per cent, they
rose to four, TO five to six, and occasionally to
ten per cent for the Six months, settling about
1860, to Six per cent semi-annually, at which
ratio the dividends were regularly continued
every year, until May. 1874, always enjoying a
reputation second to none.
