The new proceedings taken against the Wabash
Railroad Company revive tie interest in its late
Organization. The actual condition of the new com
pany, in regard to the liabilities of the old Toledo
Wabash and Western Company, has not been fully
understood not because of the practice of any decep
Sion. of any secrecy, but simply because peo
pie do not take the trouble to inform themselves
The reorganization after the foreclosure sale Of the
road has never been completed, because the holders
Of over 100000 of the ten different issues of
bonds have refused to fund past due coupons These
coupons are cash demand upon the resources OF
tho company liable to be enforced at the option Of
the holders. II we are not mistaken. the action
which has been commenced in Illinois, and which
has eDjoined the company from making any pay
ments except for purposes of operating the road
and for interest on the first mortgage bonds, and
which asks for the appointment of a receiver, is
upon claim Of this nature The holders of tho
100000 equipment bonds have declined to arrange
