"a traction engine passed through Tow
sOntOwn few days ago and the men who had
it in charge appeared entirely oblivious of the
rights of others, as they did not send man
ahead of it. as the law requires, and did not
appear to care how badly horses were frighten-
ed. They should have been arrested and fined
and thus taught q lesson that they would not
soon forget The law makes it obligatory upon
them to send man three hundred yards ahead
to notify people of the approach of the engine.
Recognizing the Maryland Central R.
R. Company.-The plan of reorganization of
the Maryland Central Railroad, which is now
in the hands of receivers, agrees that the $780,
600 first mortgage bonds and S175, 600 past due
interest shall be exchanged at par for new mort
gage bonds dated November 1, 1888, at per
cent. interest for ten and 5 per cent. for twenty
years. The new mortgage is to be for $3.50, 900,
of which $4,000 will go to payroll loans and
1900 will be kept in the treasury. The second
mortgage bonds, which were principally in the
hands of first mortgage holders, will be eX-
changed for new stock of the recognized COM
pany, which will have mortgage debt of $780,,
600 as above shown, and capital stock of $780,
600, that being the amount of the second mort
gage and its overdue interest.
1t is said that the above plan meets with the
general approval of the bondholders, nearly all
of whom have deposited their bonds with the
Mercantile Trust and Deposit Company. The
next step will be the application to the court
for foreclosure and sale of the property under
the first mortgage. About four months will be
the time necessary to consummate this sale,
after which the company will be reorganiZed on
the basis that has been published, namely the
first mortgage bonds to bear interest at four per
cent. for ten years and five per cent. for twenty
years. and the second mortgage bonds to go
into new stock. The old capital stock will be
wiped out by the foreclosure sale.
e
A Tilt Between Senator Lindsay and
Mr.. Gwinn.-Gov. Jackson was at Barnum's
Hotel ON Wednesday and was called upon by
that he has not yet signed. The american says:
Senator Lindsay, of Baltimore county, called
on the Governor and urged him to sign a bill
for the opening of a road in Baltimore county.
Mr.. Lindsay said the object of the bill was
chiefly to require the county authorities to give
the work of surveying the road to the regular
ly elected county surveyor instead of to private
surveyors. Mr.. Gwinn was present, and adj
vised the Governor not to sign the bill That
made Mr.. Lindsay very angry, and he said
some very sharp things to Mr.. Gwinn, who be-
came somewhat indignant; but Mr.. Lindsay
was still positive in urging the Governor to
sign the bill, and calledin question Mr.. Gwinn's
apparently disinterested advice. The bill is
said to be connected with the opening of Athol
avenue, in the northwest suburbs, and near the
estate of Reverdy Johnson and Charles J. Ba-
ker. Mr.. Lindsay claims that it is a proper
bill, and that the people of his county wanted
it signed, and strongly resented Mr.. Gwinn's
interference"
