road company that return portions Of

apolis and st. Paul are on the Chicago
market affecting the tariff rates, and
the belief is expressed that Chicago
brokers already have enough OF these

that three days hence-to-wit, on the

so elect. The chairman is, however,
informed by that company that it has
no desire to retire from the agreement
to maintain rates, if it shall in the
meantime be ascertalned that the vol

The Cincinnati, Washington u

of receivers.
CINCINNATI, Dec. 31.-Application
was made this morning before Judge
Peck, of the superior court, for the ap-
pOintment of receiver for the Cincin-
natl, Washington q Baltimore railroad.
The Judge appointed Col Orland Smith.
who has been president of the road. and
Henry e. Yergasen. vice president OF
the Merchants National bank of this
city, as joint receivers. Each gave
bond in the sum of $4,000. The petition
was filed by the Farmers Loan d Trust
company, of New York, which is
trustee of the mortgaged creditors OF
the Chicago. Washington u Baltimore.
1t asserts that the road has failed to
pay interest and that it is insolvent,
and there is no other way IN
which equitable relief can. be obtained.
The Indebtedness upon which to-days
suit is brought is the first issue OF bonds
to the amount of S7,00O000. On this is
an accrued interest amounting to $780,
900. The Baltimore 81 Ohio railroad
was represented in to-day'S action, and
acQuiesced i'm the proceeding. 1t has a
claim for the payment of $3.50, 600 of in
terest. A judgment was entered some
time ago against the company for 81, 50O.-
600 in favor of the Chesapeake 81 Ohio
Railroad company for supplies and cur
rent expenses. The affidavit of the Secre-
tary and auditor of the road attached TO
the petition sets forth that the bonded IN
debtednesS of the road is $14, ZOE. 600, Sc
cured by the mortgages, on which the
total fixed charges amount to S7OO,135.
Unpaid coupons due amount to S710.S
with interest from the time they fell
due. The net earnings of the road
since its organization have fallen short
of meeting the fixed charges in the
sum of 81, 1882. 900. Its indebtedness in
interest warrants during the proceed
ings for reorganization prior to 1883 is
$500, 800, making its present indebted
ness nearly S1.900.000, and tomorrow
this will be increased by coupons fall
ing due to the amount of 1913, 500. The
company has also issued S7,50O,000 in
come bonds in addition to the indebted
ness before mentioned. The two receiv-
ers were put in possession OF the road
and authorized to proceed with its man
agement. 1t is expected that these pro-
ceedingS Will result Ill bringing about
an equitable REIMBURSEMENT of the bonded
indebtedness of the company and the
fixed charges so that the company will
be placed on a solvent footing. 1t is
understood that some REIMBURSEMENT OF
the Indebtedness has been contemplated
for some time, and that committee
