for some time. Alsrge proportion Of the
liabilities, moro than 81 ,000, 900, are for In.
dorssments upon notes Of the Pittsburgh,

For most Of these there was no other se-
curity than Garrison's Endorsement, and
the remainder was secured by the pledge
Eof frat mortgage bonds Of the road at an
amount not exceeding ssventy-fve cents
on the dollar OF their par value. The bonds
were worth nearly their par value. Gar

It should be adjusted. A-l .,isf
1t is proposed that the railroad company
shall make such disposition oil Its road that
a revenue sufficient for the payment OF all
fixed charges and running expenses may
be obtained, which can only be done with
the assent and cooperation Of parties now
holding bonds and stock as collateral, and
Of individuals who have indorsed its paper.
The company offers to pay Immediately
$3.50. 900 for Its paper endorsed by Garrison,
and in order to do this It is necessary to 70.

stock; and the assignee, in order to get the
advan.sfe OF this settlement, will be re-!
quired to advance Sl50000, sof which
q, 900 must be paid before August l, and
the. remainder within sixty or Ainety days.
For, the moneys advanced the railroad

value, both nominal and actual. 9
The proposed settlement will, 1t is Haid,
discharge all the, liabilities Of the railroad
company, to Garrison, and also the liabili.

to meet those payments.
