To Form a New Company.

A meeting of the Richmond Terminal
security holders was held in New York
yesterday to receive the report of the
committee appointed last week. Ger
eral Thomas, representing the commit
tee, presented q plan, of which the fo!
lowing are the principal points:
The Richmond Terminal Company is
to be wound up, and be succeeded by a
new company with S43, COO, 900 preferred
stock and S70000,000 common stock (;
the present six per cent. bonds to be
given ITO i'll new preferred stock, the
present five per cent. bonds and pre-
ferrcd stock to be given par in new pre-
ferred stock, and the common stock to
receive pariu new common, and to sub
scribe for SS,000,000 collateral trust
two-year six per cent. notes at 92!.
These notes arc to be secured by the
same securities that are now pledged
to receive the floating debt, and to be
exchanged for ITO per cent. in new
preferred stock if the plan is successful.
1t is not proposed to pay off the float
ing debt with the proceeds Of this as
sessment of about ten per cent, but to
buy the claims now held by the bank
ers, and, if necessary, foreclose these
claims and take possession for the stock
holders Of the component parts of the
system. If the full amount should not
be subscribed by the stockholders, the
preferred stock will then have the right
to make the subscription for the bal
ancc, and take the securities that would
have gone to the nou-paying common
stock, and the common stock not sub
scribing will have no right to the COM
mon stock of the new company. The
committee intends to submit to the re-
cent decisions of the courts in regard TO
the control of the Georgia Central Com
pany. and will issue certificates of ali
quot parts in the holding of these stocks
to each stakeholder, making him the
actual owner Of his proportionatc share,
similar to the scheme carried out by the
Chicago Gas Trust.
Alter the plan was presented at the
meeting the matter was thoroughly dis
cussed by those present, General
Thomas and w. P. Clyde both making
lengthy statements in explanation of
the merits of the plan. Although no
formal action was taken, it was gen
orally agreed that the plan presented
was the only feasible one under which
the company could be reorganized.

the meeting voted that ~ consultation

MR.. CLEVELAND carried Virginia in
1883 by fifteen hundred majority. No
matter how small a figure the Farmers
Alliance may cut in the State at next
falls election, few well-informed people
doubt that it can poll much larger
vote than that number. Its president
declined a delegates place 10 the Chi
cago convention for the avowcd reason
that his organization is so opposed to
Mr.. Cleveland that he could not vote
for him if nominated The fact that
Mr.. Cleveland only last year spoke o:
the ex-Confederatcs rs having laid ''rc-
bellious hands upon the flag" and his
deferred and lukcwarm opposition to
the Force bill, cannot possibly have
made him more popular in Virginia
now than he was four years ago, when
he had all the federal Office holders in
the State in his favor.
