1t is understood that the question whether
the present railroad company can be COM
PEELED to pay back these subscriptions In ac-
cordance with the above contract is about to
be tested in the Courts, unless the abandoned
portion of the road is restored and maintained
Mr.. Pritchard few years since purchased a
controlling interest in the city railways. and
subsequently bought mortgage against it for
somewhat upwards of $40, 900. He afterwards,
as it is stated, placed this mortgage in the
hands of the Capital Saving Bank of this
! city, to secure overdrafts to the amount of
some seven or eight thousand dollars. This
mortgage has been recently foreclosed by the
Capital Savings Bank, for the al
legged purpose of obtaining the amount due
the bank mot to exceed $4,000, in
Guiding costs of foreclosure and sale), and the
railroad with all appurtenances and property
belonging to the company sold by the Sheriff
and purchased by j. L. circuit, for the
| amount due upon the face of the mortgage
amounting to some fortyhve or forty eight
thousand dollars. Its now stated that Mr..
| circuit has since transferred his title thus
obtained to the road to r. S. Carey,
of the Capital Savings Bank. The fact of
this last transfer has led the stockholders
who were frozen out by the foreclosure of the
mortgage to suspicion that the whole transac-
! ton of foreclosure and sale was really legal
cover in favor Of Mr.. Prichard, and they are
already taking steps to set aside the entire
proceedings. ~ tf -G
