Hon. W. L. Putnam, Portland, Me-.
Dear Sir,-You are counsel for the trustees of
the Portland & Ogdensburg second mortgage
bondholders. This being the case YOU are more
familiar with the business of the foreclosure of
the second mortgage bonds than any other person
can possibly be.
Now, If consistent with your obligations to the
trustees (and / can see no mpropriety in my ask
ing you certain queStiOnS) as the trustees do not
own the road but are acting for the whole owner
Ship and the city being the largest owner of these
bonds. and it being my duty as Mayor to ascertain
and place before the city council all the informa-
ti0n possible regarding the foreclosure of these
bonds, and the reorganization of the Portland &
Ogdensburg Railroad Company and also to sug-
for the future its ownership in this unfor-
tunate road as well as to place its property in the
road in as unquest0nable a position as possible
under the circumstances, / would thank you if
you will give me in writing such methods of reor-
ganiZing the Portland & Ogdensburg Railroad
Co.. outside of the method of foreclosure and stock
issue, as are provided as may suggest themselves
to you.
1t has seemed to my mind that a mutual agree
ment OF all the different interestS-second mort
gage bonds, floating debts, etc., etc,-might re-
organize the railroad company under the old char
ter, scaling down these bonds to what they are
worth, estimating such worth by the earning ca
pacty of the road and by doing do justice to all
and render the city ownership less liable to loss in
the future.
But only suggest, and seeking information will
thank you to give me at the earliest day possible
your views of this important matter.
Most respectfully yours,

Father, Mother, and Three Sisters Dead.

Father, Mother, and Three Sisters Dead.
Mr.. David Claypool, formerly Sergeant
alarms ofthe New Jersey Senate, and now
Notary Public at Cedarville, Cumberland
Co., N. j., makes the following startling
statement: My father, mother, and three
sisters all died With consumption, and my
lungswere so weak Iraised blood. Nobody
thought I could live. My work (ship-
smithing was very straining on me with my
weak constitution, and was rapidly going
to the grave While in this condition /
commenced using Mishler's Herb Bitters,
and it saved my life. Because it was SO
difficult to get it in this little place, and
had improved SO much, / stopped taking it
for time, and the result is that l have
commenced going rapidly down hill again.
Somehow, Mishler's Herb Bitters gives
appetite and strengthens and builds me up
as nothing else does, and must have
dozen bottles at once Use this commu-
nication as you please, and If any one wants
to be convinced Of its trQth, let them write
me and 1 will make affidavit to it, for
owe my life to Mishler's Herb Bitters.''
The secret Of the almost invariable reliei'
and cure of consumption, dysentery, diar-
rhea, dyspepsia, indigestion, kidney and
liver complaints, when Mishler's Herb
Bitters is used, is that it contains simple,
harmless, and yet powerful ingredients,
that act on the blood, kidneys, and liver,
and through them strengthens and invigor-
ates the whole system. Purely vegetable
in its composition; prepared by regular
physician; a standard medicinal prepare
zion; endorsed by physicians and drug
gists. These aref four strong points in favor
of Mishler's Herb Bitters. Mishler's Herb
Bitters is sold by all druggists. Price Sl.OO
