CLAIMS AGAINST TIE p. e. o. RAIL-
RoAD.-Belden e. Ide, rs attorneys for
Asa z. Potter of Boston, have been pur-
chasing the lien claims upon which a de-
cree was obtained of the supreme court
against the p. ~ o. railroad company,
paying therefor seventy-five cents on the
dollar, the purchaser assuming all expen-
ses Of litigation. The holders of about
one-half of the entire amount of these
clalms-exclusive of that of the Messrs.
Fairbanks-had accepted this Offer. The
total amount of these claims, exclusive of
the Fairbanks interest, is some over sixty
thousand dollars. At the time these
claims were allowed, and the court issued
decree to have the same paid out of the
net earnings of the road, or have all the
property sold to satisfy the same, it was
supposed the claimants would receive their
pay in full, But in view of the fact that a
sale of the personal property of the road
has been decided upon by the new corpor-
alton, and that such sale will not probably
produce enough to pay Il very large per
centage upon the claims, and that the
creditors must rely upon net earnings for
the balance of their pay, and that such net
earnings are uncertain and doubtful, the
claimants prefer to take the offer of a
smaller sum and have no more trouble or
doubt about the matter. 1t is supposed
that Mr.. Potter is purchasing these claims
in the interest of the new corporation
the St. Johnsbury and Lake Champlain
railroad company-and that this action
will facilitate the closing up of the old
corporation and the inauguration of the
new.
