THE 5o4 SETTLEMENT.
IT'S AOCEPTAN CE By THE BOND
HOLDERS NOT PROBABLE

HOLDERS NOT PROBABLE.
New York American Exchange, April /.
In conversation with an American
Exchange reporter yesterday. Mr..
Eugene Kelly, chairman Of the COM
mittee of the Tennessee boudholders,
said he did not think that the bond
holders would accept the proposition
of the Tennessee Legislature for the
settlement of the debt at 5Oper cent.
of the principle and per cent. in
terest per annum- The State of
Tennessee was abundantly able to
pay the entire amount of her debt /;
she was better able to pay than Vir-
ginia is the debt was smaller than
the later's Indebtedness, and taxa
ton was very light. The bondhoId-
ers had offered to accept either 60
cents on the dollar with per cent
interest, or the principle at 4 per
cent, but the Legislature proposed
to cut down the debt so per cent,
and also reduce the rate of interest.
The bondholders were satisfied that
they could sue the State, under a
special provision made when the
bonds were issued, and they also be-
lieve that the bonds were a lien on
the railroads of Tennessee. Under
these circumstances, Mr.. Kelly said,
they ware likely to be firm in their
position, and reject the settlement
now offered. No provision had
been made by the Legislature for
the future security of the State debt,
and the bondhoiders could not trust
to the credit of the State. Louisi.
ana had scaled her debt some time
ago, and now a further reduction
was being agitated. The Tennessee
bondholders wished the coupons on
the new bonds made receivable for
taxes; if the Legislature had made
that part of the new adjustment
bill and had increased the tax assess
ments there would have been some
security for the bondholders in the
future. Mr.. Kelly thought it was
probable that no meeting of the
bondholders would be called until
the Tennessee Legislature had CON-
municated with the bondholders'
committee. Ifno proposition of ad.
jastment was accepted under the
present Tennessee Legislature,
there probably would rot be any
settlement for two more years,
when the next Legislature would
assemble.
Mr.. Peter Geddes, a member of
the bondholders' committee, said
emphatically that the so per cent.
proposition Of the Tennessee Legis- I
lature would not be accepted by the
Oondholders. The committee had |
sent a communication to the Ten
lessee Senate last week while the
lew bill was pending, protesting
against the assumption that the
oondholders would accept any set
lement at less than &C cents on the
Iollar.

Last Christmas, after the first freeze,
and our readers will remember it was a
hard one, while Mr.. G. G Williams was
riding by the mill in the neighborhood
of Col. John Pryde's, his attention was
directed to large smooth fiat-reck on
the roadside upon which he espied, in a
half-squatied position, large fat rab-
bit He rode up close to the rock but
as the rabbit did not scare or attempt to
get away he was somewhat surprised
and dismounted to ascertain the cause.
He found it frozen tight and fast except

position. He released It after some ex-
ertion by twisting it around several
times and peeling the skin from of its
feet. The only way Mr.. w. can ac-
count for its freezing to the rock, is,
that the rabbit had been dabbling in
spring close by and hoped on the rock
while the water was dripping from its
feet and froze to it before it could &c.
Of 1t is superfuous TO add that Mr..
Williams had rabbit pie for his dinner

FREEZING OUT YELLOW FEVER.

FREEzLNG OUT YELLOW. FEVER
A Washington special to the Cincin-
natl Commercial says: The first bill re-
ported from committee and placed on
the calendar, and the only bill now pend
ing in the Senate for action, was repor-
ted by Senator Harris to-day, with
favorable recommendation from the
Committee on Epidemic Diseases. It
provides for an appropriation of So 90,
900, to experiment with the Gamgee
patent refrigerator ship, which it is
claimed, will cause sufficient artificial
cold to freeze out yellow fever or any
other contagious disease of quarantine
Experts all agree that cold destroys the
germ of disease, which it is now feared
may again afflict the South during the
coming season. 1t is believed that arti-
fetal cold can be SO rapidly produced
that three-thousand-ton ship may be
thoroughly disinfected within SIX hours.

last week huge specimen of porcine

monster coming upon him, calmly pick

your children off the street unless in the
hands of some one to look after them.
