lima Road.
CHARLESTON, s. c., Aug. "A copy of
the proposed agreement under which the
South Carolina railway is to be- reorgan-
lied was received here to-day, and will be
submitted at once to its creditors. Briefly
stated, the agreement is as follows: A com
mittee is appointed, consisting of f. =.
Olcott, w. W. Phelps, w. p. Graves. A.
Dutenhoffer and H. P. Talmage, represent
all parties. All the old securities are to be
deposited with the Central Trust Company
OF New York, each depOsitor to pay in cash
TO the Central Trust Company 10 per cent.
or the par value of the securities deposited
by him. The floating debt is to be paid Oh.
purchased by the committee. On the com
pletion of the reorganization, the first
mortgage bondholders are to receive
3 per cent. bonds at par or cash, with ac-
crued interest, as they may prefer The
second mortgage bondholders are to receive
for their bonds at par new aocumulative
preferred stock bearing 5 per cent. divi-
dends. The income bondhOlders and COM
mon stockholders are to receive new COM
mon stock to the amount of 90 per cent of
their present holdings In use of failure
TO effect the organization on this basis, the
committee is authorized to take steps to sell
the road under foreclosure of either the
first or second mortgage bonds. The total
issue of the new preferred stock is
limited to S2,000,OOO, with power
to the committee to increase it to
S2,5OO, 900, and the holders are entitled
to elect majority of the directors for five
years after the Reorganization. The agre5-
ment was only received here to-day. Most
of the securities are held north, but there
are good many first mortgage bonds held
here. 1t is thought that there will be no
trouble in getting all the southern creditors
