RafauItoE on Interest

Continuing, the plaintiff AYERS that:
''During the fiscal year ending the 30th
of November, 1892, the net earn
lngs of the railroad company
applicable to the interests upon
the third preference mortgage bonds
was sufficient to pay thereon the sum of
5 pertcentum per annum. Prior to the
18th of January, 1898. the railroad COM
pany furnished the trustee with state
ment which showed that the amount of
net earnings applicable 10 the interest
on the bonds secured by the mortgage
was sufficient to pay percentum per
annum upon all the third preference
bonds. The railroad company, prior to
the first day of February, 1898, gave
public notice that the rate OF interest
payable on all of the third preference
mortgage bonds was per-centum, and
that the same would be paid on the 1St
day of February, 1893.
the complainant is the holder of
$4,000 third preference income mort
gage bonds, interest upon which to the
amount of 81 $50 became payable on the
1st day of February, 1898. Demand was
made in writing by the complainant
upon the railroad company prior to the
filing of the present bill, 10 pay him the
said amount. This demand was refused
by the said railroad company and it
las failed up to the present time to pay
him any portion of the amount which
became due and payable Oh the first day
of February, 1898. upon said bonds. In
terest upon other bonds of said issue,
held by O,her owners, remains unpaid
by the said railroad company. This
complainant, however, is without the
requisite knowledge or information to
state the extent of the default in pay
ment of said other interests.
The complainant reciteS that he has
demanded of the Pennsylvania Compa-
ny for Insurance on Lives and Grant
Annuities that it toreclose the mortgage
covered by these bonds, which it de-
clned to do. and therefore he asks for
receiver. The court granted the order.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 20.-President

Homing Pigeons to Add to the In
teresting Features ofthe In
auguraI Parade.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-A gossiping
correspondent writes as follows in re-
gard to the temporary quarters selected
for the preSident-elect at the Arlington:
The particular rooms which already go
glibly as the cleveland rooms" are
on the second floor, and include
parlor, dining room and three
bed rooms for the especial use
of Mr.. CleveIands family; also
a parlor and three bedrooms for Col.
Lamont and parlor and three bedrooms
for Don Dickinson. Entering hall,
there is an exquisite Venetian lamp,
burning softly, in lieu of sunshine,
which is shut out. TO the right opens
Mrs. Cleveland's spacious parlor. Here
five windows afford a flood of light, sub
dued by draperies of delicately wrought
lace and lustrous silk. Lead
ing from the drawing room is
Mrs. Cleveland's bedroom. In the
adjoining bed room a small white and
gold bedstead is assigned to Baby Ruth.
Beyond this is Miss Cleveland's room.
Opening to the left from the hall is the
dining room, which is furnished In oak,
with glittering arsay of china and cut
glass. 1t is interesting to know that
Mrs. Cleveland will use a knife, fork
and spoon which were once the property
of Empress Eugenle, and that the preSl->
dent-elect will drink his coffee from a
cup that one time belonged to Napoleon
BOnaparte.
Col. Lamont.s parlor communicates
with the dining room, with Mr.. Dickin-
sons directly opposite. The entire
suite is so placed that it can be wholly
separated from the remainder of the
hotel. This will be done, by means of
screen placed across the corridor, at
the opening of which Mr.. Cleveland's
butler, Sinclair. will be stationed.
Mr.. Cleveland will be accom-
panied by four servants in addi-
ion to Baby Ruth's nurse. Two servants
of the hotel, a butler and waiter. will

chef and two assistants will be entirely
at his service. The presidential board
bill will be S475 per day, not including
the charge for the extra service which
he has.
Ono of the most interesting features
of the inaugural parade will be pro-
vided by the portion of the district
national guard engineer CORPS, which
has charge of the homing pigeons that
are being used for military purposes.
1t is proposed to accumulate here
large number of fine birds whose home
lofts aIe in Baltimore, Philadelphia.
New York, Richmond and other cities.
These birds are to be carried in the

Another reason given for the great
slump in Reading is that Speyer u Co.

was felt that there would be no going
back over the ground trodden since Mr..
McLeod's election, and that not only
the interests of the Reading COM
pany alone would be looked after, but
the interests of the coal trade in general.

that the appointment of receivers for

Following the detail of the movements
on the 'change after the noon call, it
may be said that tendency to rally in
the stock market was quite pronounced
for some time, and few stocks made
marked gains. the induStrialS being
specially prominent. most of them going

ported actual appointment of receivers,
however, restored confidence i'll a

all of whom rejoice at his election. But
it was in the capitol that the news of his
election created the greatest excitement.
The Democrats i'll the senate, Senators
Mills and Villas, in particular, felt par
ticularly jubilant over the result, be-
cause it makes the organization of the
senate by the Democrats absolutely GER
tam regardless of the Populist senators.
and besides adds to the Democratic
side man of high character and abil-
ity. The uneXpectedness of the cleo
ton added to the qualification of the
Democratic leaders. On the Repub-
lican side, however, there was at first
disposition to doubt the report, but
when this was dissipated deep gloom
settled over the senatorial steering COM
mittee in particular.
Congressman Johnson, of North Da-
kOta. received the news without any
manifestation of surprise. indeed, he
stated several days ago that either MI.
Roach or Judge Wallin would be elect
ed before the adjournment of the legiS-
lature. While regretting that Demo-
crat was elected, ne paid the new sena-
tor the highest compliments, saying:
IL know Mr.. Roach very we'll. He
was about the first man | met when L
came to the state. He is an honest,
able man, who will be a credit to North
Dakota and the Democratic party in the
senate, and while | regret that DEM
ocrat has been elected, l am pleased that
so good a man has been chosen. He
has been twice tine candidate of his
party for governor. He will represent
the state with dignity and fairness at all
times. He is a farmer, and not man of
wealth, although one of the best and most
widely READ men of the state. "When L
first knew him he was the superintend-
ent of big farm at LarimOre. He has
since secured half section of land for
himself and is now farming it,"
While Congressman johnson did not
say SO, it is plain that he regards the
election of Mr.. Roach as death blow to
the old gang which cheated him out of a
seat in the senate. and has so long had its
own way in North Dakota, politically.
But Senator Hansbrough, not to be
outdone by his enemy Johnson, also
rejoiceS over the election of Mr. Roach,
that is considering that it could not be
Republican. He said:
personally | am deeply gratified
over the selection of Mr.. Roach. He
will be credit to his state and to the
Democratic party. | feel deeply humil-
lated. however, at condition of things

The new senator was formerly resi-
dent of Washington, having been born
here, and is we'll known among the
older residents. He was educated at
Georgetown college, and commenced
business as cashier of the Citizens Ma
tional bank. He married daughter of
the late DR.. Liebermann, who bore him
four children before her death. Two of
