THAT RAILROAD. The late election for a
Board Of Directors of the Emmitsburg Rail
road having demonstrated the possibilities
Of fun, racket and business hithcr dormant
and unexpected in that energetic and aspir.
ing corporation, it has been determined
upon, evidently, to get all of the aforesaid
f i, and out Of it that is in it,
At a meeting of the bondholders Of that
road III Emmitsburg on the nth inst, the
following resolution was drafted and will be
submitted to each and every bondholler -
Whereas the Bonded Indebtedness Of the
Emmitsburg r. II. Co., with the accrued in.
terc,t thereon is such rs this Company will
not be able TO liquidatc and whereas the
greater part Of the Bonds were placed al 80
cents on the dollar. now therefore We pro-
pose that the whole Of said Bonded debt
principal and interest be scaled down to
| onchalf or 80 per cent. of its face value, and
that new Bonds shall he issued in lieu of and
in exchange therefor
Now "One Of en-" writes to Tile Chronicle
and speaks Of the meeting of "bloated" bond
holders and says "wc have so long been hug
gng the drlutivc phantom of hope and liv-
ing on air that no wonder We are bloatcd.'
The writer hints at things which are calcu-
lated to curdlr the blood and up.end the
hair: "Forcclo .urc would be suicidal and q
Rcccivcrship W; rsr than death----to all but
the Receiver" 1t recalls aircaetlcs, aged

casm in the fol owing smooth, insinuating
sentence? ~ and when the Commit.

This is not a compromise, not reputation
but is paying you 100 cents and interest ON

We await with interest, further develop
ments, anticipating important results. 1t is

all its own, over which to practice corpora
