Why Mr.. Sackville West should seek to

setting a trap for him was not a very
creditable peri Torrance, but that has no
tendency to lessen the stupidity and dis

man who had clear idea of the obliga-

would have undertaken to instruct its
citizens how they should vote. much less
would he offer as reason for the kind of

We have bought s633,000 Maine
Central Consol. rs, due 1912, and
offers the holders of Leeds and Far
mington 6's, the opportunity to ex-
change the same for the former on
the following favorable terms.
On or before Nov. 18th, 1895, we
will deliver Maine Central Consol. As
at par, and prepay the interest due

mum for the unexpired time, receiv-
ing in exchange an equal number of
Leeds and Pennington bonds, allow
ing par and 6 per cent accrued in
terest to date of exchange.
The above is equivalent to selling
the Leeds Il Pennington bonds on a
3 7-S per cent interest basis, and OBJ
tanning the long consolidated As at
par, by using the premium obtained
ON the former in purchasing the AS.
We beg to call attention to the
fact that these 4 per cent bonds are
now practically a first mortgage on
the road, as there will be only ST.
$4,000 outstanding when the
Leeds & Pennington are converted
out Of a total of $9,00O,000, to take
the place of prior lien bonds; in five
years this balance will have been re.
tired and the consolidated mortgage
become a first lien.
The saving in the interest charges
in the next few years is approx
mately $4,000; this is in addition to
amount saved in 1894 of $4,000,
making a total of nearly 100000 or
per cent on the stock; increasing
the present net earnings to over
100000 Or 10 per cent. Oh the capt.
tai; 6 per cent. is now paid, the bal
ance going to surplus und improve
ments.
We recommend the proposed ex-
change at this time, the holders
thereby obtaining long, choice Sc
curity at a moderate cost.
The 4's not exchanged, as above,
will be offered to the public at an
advanced price.
