OF THE
New Jersey Midland Railway Co.

AS have been commissioned to lay before you
plan for recognizing the New Jersey Midland Rail

important points in said plan.
The az - and principal point for your consid-
Grafton is that the purchasing Company guaran-
tees to every Bondhoder all rights and security that
Is row covered by the present mortgages.
SECONO.-It contracts to make one-third "a OF
with Coupons pay able semi-annualy from date
which must make it equal in valCe to the price orig
ina.ly i'd that this one-third will be equivalent
to the price that you are now getting for the whole
THIRD.-The balance, two-thirds "a, is given
in First Mortgage 30-Year Bond, with Coupons
payable at the option of the Company in cash Oh
scrip said scrip undable for the first six years into
to all income to the amount Of the Coupon attached
after paying interest on the First Mortgage Bonds
under this plan, the Company will be able to meet
its obligations promptly. IS s-s&
to pay off all prior liens now standing ahead of the
First Mortgage Bonds, and receive in payment for
such advances, the First Mortgage Income Bonds.
Ire new Company feel justified in doing this, in
the two Corporations into one Company.
FlET H.-Unpaid Coupons are converted into q
First Mortgage Income Bond, and all junior securi-
ties and claims are secured by the purchasing Com
If these points clearly set forth and under
Stood it would seem be for the best interest of ey-
cry bondboder-to place his security in an improved
and marketable shape at once, and by so doing re-
move the Company from its present uncertainties

gagged in fresh and vigorous raid against the
socialist agitators Arrests have been effected
in numerous places, among others at Moscow,

one village alone near Moscow thirty working
men we're seized by the police. Some of the
prisoners attempted a resistance. One named
M. Rogahehief, and believed to be one Of the
principal leaders of the Socialist movement,
defended himself so desperately that he had to

are uuder the impression that they have in the
present instance struck a blow at the very
strong hold of the movement, which will put
an effectual stop to its further spread.
