A Hitch in the Negotiations for the Valley
Railroad Mortgage.


The Baltimore ''Sun" Of yesterday has
the following paragraph with reference to
the Valley R. r. mortgage:
The committee appointed by the stock
holders to secure the necessary means to
finish the Valley railroad to Salem finding
that the total amount required could not
be obtained in New Y Ork on satisfactory
terms, concluded to negotiate serial
mortgage, and by this means secure at the
outset the sum required to complete the
road to Lexington. More than half of the
amount necessary to construct the extern
sion betW cen StauntOn and Lexington,
thirty-fOur miles, HIS already been expend-
ed, and that part of the work had so TAR
progressed at the time when the Suspen-
sion was ordered that the chief engineer
| estimates that, in addition to the assets on
hand, the sum of 5000 900 or $4,000 will
be sufficient to complete this portion and
thus, finish the line to Lexington. The
committee have been in negotiation with
several prominent banking houses in Baltl-
more. and had every reason to be conf
dent that this amount could be secured
promptly and on favorable terms.
The unexpected delay in recognizing the
Washington City and Virginia Midland
| Road has made the mOneyed interest Of
| this city little chary of furthur invest
ments in Virginia. The Virginia Midland
case, now. however, is before the Court Of
Appeals at Wythville, having been further
argued yesterday and continued until to-
day, and, it is thought, at an early day
will be set for trial, in which event the
friends of that road II 81 confident the re
organization scheme will be completed
and this valuable property again placed il
the hands of its owners. If the Virgins

good deal of INTEREST manifested in th'

much inquiry as to the cause Of delay il
reletting the work. These, however, ar
understood to be the facts in the case.
