RAILROAD FORECLOSURES.

RAILROAD FORECLOSUhES.e
PROJECTED DISRUPTION OF THE TOLEDO, WABASH
AND WESTERN RAILROAD coNs0fIDATroN-PRo-
CEEDINGs IN THE CASE OF A KANSAS RAILWAY.
The failure of the Toledo. Wabash and western
Railroad Company to pay the coupons which ma
tured on Feb threatens 20 result in serious com
plications, and perhaps in the dismemberment OF
that combination of railroads. The Toledo, Wabash
and Western Railroad Company is formed by
The consolidation of the Toledo aud Wabash. the
Great Western, tho Quincy and Toledo, the Illinois
and Southern and the Decatur and East st. Louis
Railroads There numerous special interests In
volved and the proposed funding Of coupons OF the
consolidated company for the next two years does
not meet with the approval of the holders OF the
divisional mortgages Some OF them are mnrfnur-
ing against the funding arrangement, while others
actually have taken measures to institute proceed
ings. Among the latter are the bondholders Of the
Great Western and the Illinois and Southern Iowa
Divisions. A meeting of these bondhOlders will be
held on Saturday at No 16 Wall-st. to arrange
course which shall be to the general advantage
At the office OF G. G. Haven d. Co.. where the
bondhOlders are to meet, il was stated that II the
bondholders concurred it was the intention 10 APP
ply for receiver, and then, If necessary, 10 lore
close the two divisional mortgages noted. Inc
object Of this proceeding is to prevent the Toledo,
earnings of the two division lines referred to for the
purposes of the general road. The bondholders OF
these lines are determined that the earnings of their
divisions shall go to pay the interest on their bonds
after the operating aud other proper expenses snail
have been paid. The number Of bonds necessary to
begin foreclosure proceedings ore 100000. Haven
g. Co. say that they represent $4,000 The Great
Western Railroad mortgages aggregate S2,49o,OOO,
and the Illinois and Southern Iowa Railroad mort
cages S3O0OOO The proceedings Will probably be
opposed by the Toledo, Wabash and Western Rail
road Company
Austin Corbn & Co., bankers on Broadway, say
that foreclosure proceedings have already been
begun at the snit of bondholder in the case OF the
LeavenwOrth, Lawrence and Galveston Railroad.
The road extends from Lawrence, Kansas, to tho
State line. distance of 1H miles. The funded debt
is 0OO0 bearing interest at the rate of ten per
cent. The Company defauted some time ago, and
the bondhoders have determined to fOreclose and
reorganize the road. The argument on the appica-
ton for the appointment of receiver Will come OIL
before Judge Dillon on the 10Th inst. at Davenport,
Iowa. Mr.. Corbin says that at the time of the con-
structon of the road $5,O0OO00 in stock was given
away to favored few 1t is the intention OF the
bondhoders to enforce payment on this stock If pos
sble aud thus make the recipients of it aware OF the
facts.
