PORTLAND & OGpENsBuRG-At the Springfield
meeting of the bondhoders of the Vermont divis-
ion of the Portland & Ogdensburg railroad bonds
to the amount of Sl,5O0000 were represented
The Vermont division of the Portland L. Ogdens-
burg railroad owes its construction largely to the
sale of 81, 100000 of first mortgage bonds but in
order to complete and equip it, preference bonds
tn the amount of 100000 were issued consent
having first been obtained of first mortgage bond
holders, to the amount OF over 81 100000 Since
then legal questions, involving the validity of the
preference bonds, have arisen, and several suits
On this and other disputed points are pending.
1t was voted to appoint committee to inquire
into the aft irs of the Vermont division of the
Portland & Ogdensburg railroad. the relative
rights of the different bondholders and the con-
lition of the suits now pending, this committee to
report at future meeting of the bondholders or
otherwise, at an early day; also to report any
scheme which they may deem practicable for re-
,rganizatiOn in the interests of all parties con-
'erned The committee consists of Lewis Fitz-

FINANCIAL Understandable has been
considerable dstrust of late by many ofthe stock
holders of the Brandon National Bank, of the
connection of Mr.. J. II. Batcheder of Lincoln,
large dealer in lumber and capboards, as well as
proprietor of an extensive store in Burlington,
At the recent annual meeting of the bank, three
additional directors were elected, and the affair
investigated. 1t was discovered that Batchelder
has paper in the bank to the amount of about
sixty Thousand dollars, some of which the sure
ties claim is forged or raised from the original
amount for which they signed Batchelder, who
is member of the present legislature from
Lincoln, was arrested and his extensive property
attached 1t is thought that Batchelder worked
in connivance with the cashier of the bank, Mr.
D. c. Bascom who has resigned. The bank it is
thought will lose heavily, but as it has surplus
of about seventy thousand dollars, will not be
crippled The bank in Middlebury, which was
reported by some of the papers to be heavily in
volved, will lose less than five hundred dollars.
