minutes, knocked Frank HEARD down

blow seemed almost fatal, and the police
rushed on the platform and stopped the

assured that the pugilists would only
"spar for points," consented to grant a
license for the men to meet each other.

scared by what he received, but he re-
sponded with good left-handed blow

rhiIad, lphIa Times, yesterday.
Tho regular meeting of the directors Of
tho Chesapeake & Delaware Canal Com
pany was held yesterday md plan was
agreed upon to provide M nearly as posi-
bic for the shortage in the company's
funds, occasioned by the overissue of
bonds of ex-TreAsurer j. A. L. Wilson,
who absconded about three months ago.
Experts are at work endeayoring TO aseer-
tain the amount Wilson and Lesley, who
both plundered the company, got away
with, but they are unable to report for
the present President Dillingham; sub
mitted the following statement to the
loanholdors, which he says explains the
situation exactly:
"On the 30th of last June the company
was prepared TO pay the interest on and
extend thepayment OF, the principal Of the
then supposed outstanding loan (SI $685.
75O) for terlp of 80 years At 5pef cent per
annuin, but were prevented by the receipt
of letter from the secretary aud treas
urer, j. A. L. Wilson, contrasting that he
and Henry v. Lesley, the former secre.
tary and treasurer, had fraudulently used
large sums belonging TO this company
and over.issued and disposed of more
than 5000, 900 Of its loan
"We are advised by counsel that the
company is liable 10 all innocent holders
for this over issue, and also that such
holders are entitled to the security of the
mortgage.
"We therefore propose to pay tho inter
est due July LIST, 1886, on October LIST,
and TO ask the present holders of the
loan TO surrender their old certificates
and take in exchange Ms soon MS they can
| be prepared, new certificates in even sums
\ Of $500 and 81 900 respectively, negoti-
| able by transfers upon their backs, and
| registered nj some reliable trust COMPANY;
and scrip certificates for tho odd amounts.
| convertible into bonds in sums Of S5OU
or = 900, said loan to run for II term OF
~ years, drawing interest AZ per cent
per annum from July, LIST 1886 but Tic
scrip certificates not previously converted
TO be redeemable, ut the option OF the
company, i'll five years from date.''
The earnings OF the company under this
plan, after paying current expenses, nra
TO be used i'll the reduction of this new
loan until the company's indebtedness
does not exceed the amount it would have
been had there been no overissue. II is
also proposed and agreed that, failing in
such effort TO reduce the indebtedness in
this manner, the surplus earning shall be
invested in good securities and held fol

This is President Gillingham's summary
of tho compnny's situation; Five per cent
