New YORK, June Soc. p. Hunt
ington said this morning that the
Central Pacific interest due July 1, is
about 100000, and the company has
In bank about three times that amount.
In regard to the cotton suit emphat.
ically deny the story that there has
been any unwarranted disturbance of
Central Pacific sinking funds: the only
Southern Pacific bonds belonging to the
sinking fund sent to NewYork are those
accumulated to meet the state aid loan
OF 81 100000 which natures July 1.
These bonds were sent here to be used
TO pay for the state aid bonds rs con-
templated by the mortgage, The ALL, :
cations by Mrs. Cotton In her suit are
mere spite-work, intended to injure
the credit OF the parties she IL en-.
deavoring to blaclSmail. She attacks
all interests OF the parties with whom
she Is litiyating, hoping thereby to
obtain something from them that is
not her due. My counsel telegraphs
that no application was made for
receiver of any of the railroad
companies, except for a comparatively
small amount of bonds and stock that
she claims an interest in, and that are
subject to her litigation. The refusal
of Judge Temple TO entertain zach n
motion in chambers may be tgsken ms
an indication that he will MT allow
the machinery of his court to be used
for such a dishonorable purpose.

ance some days since cused much
uneasiness to his friends, has turned up
safe and well. He decided to leave on

quent uneasiness. Verify the Ameri.

The series of showers of the past

angle, the upper portion Of which
formed prominent ridge alittle with

ideality. The eyeballs completely
filled their sockets. The aperture OF
the lids was not large, nor the eye un-

slightly aquiline, the mouth Of rnoder-
ate dimensions, making no great dis
