The St. Louis Railway.

cable dispatch from Frankfort-o the Main
states that on the 9th the purchasing bondholGers
of the Rockford railroad held special meeting at
which the entire executive committee resigned
The bondholders unanimously re elected the mem
bers with the single exception OF Mr.. Hausmelster
he gentleman who could not act harmoniouslv
with his confreres and who sent his brother to Rock
Island in furtherance of some unknown design.
This action is the strongest possible Endorsement
OF the committee and their agent, Mr. IL. Osterberg,
and will set at rest all reports OF abstraction of
the policy pursued in retaining and building up
the property and taking steps To render II more
full and renumerative. Mr.. Osterbers will return to
Rock Island early in August.-Unt0h
Mr.. Hausmeister is one Of the
owners OF the German-Austrian bank
from which the money was borrowed to
complete the payment for the purchase OF
the road. aud all the security he has is a
mortage given by fictitious corporation
which is no security at all And it
is TINS that the Osterberg shysters
propose to swindle the honest men
of means among themselves We hope
they have left Mr.. Hausmeister off the
committee, for that will hasten the day
when some 90 per cent. Of the bondholdcrs
will join in pressing the Hooper Robinson
suits and putting an end to the Osterberg
swiudle. That day is not likely to be de-
layed much beyond six months. for the
road is not paying expenses and can not
be made to pay expenses, under the present
wasteful and incompetent management,
and it is quite probable that within six
months the road will have to be sold again
to settle Indebtedness and wind up aud
kick out the Osterberg shysters, swindlers
aud vampires.
p. S.-Since the above was in tyre
news has been received that Osterberg
has been dismissed by the committee aud
another manager appointed in his place.
This is almost too good TO be true-but we
think il is true. The cablegram will be
found in another article in this paper.
The Mr. Hausmeister whom the Union
says was here for some unknown design
is still III this city, stopping with MIR.

did not know the object of his visit before
