There seems now to be reasonable pros.
pect of An amicLble settlement between the
second mortgage bondholders and the West
ern Maryland Railroad Company. The Com.
pany, 1t is stated, has made proposition to
the bondholders to fund the accrued interest
on the second preferred bonds, the company
then to begin payment of interest on the whole
amount of the mortgage aud funded interest
The mortgage was 100000. The interest
upon this amount to January, 1873, was S202,
300, making $500, 905. The annual interest
upon the whole amount would be Sis, ia. 80.
1t is believed that the road would, in its i'm.
proved condition, be able to meet its interest
obligations promptly, and the plan, il is said,
Is likely to meet with approval by the bond
holders. 1t would certainly appear to be the
easiest and most fe asible way for all parties
out of the difficulty. The Company and the
second preferred mortgage bondholders mad e
a compromise Thursday that will prevent the
sale fthe road.
