MONON RAILROAD SALE
1T WILL BE At PUBLIC AUCTION To-
MORROW MORNING.
The Upset Price on the System Fixed
at $3,OOO.OOO-HearinE on the Beat
tyviIIe Bonds To-Day.

Unless an order Of the court shall be
made setting aside its former order the
Monon Railroad and all it's equipment will
be offered for sale at auction tomorrow
morning at IL o'clock. The decree ordering
this sale was entered several weeks ago
upon the confessed Judgment of the rail-
road company in the three cases for fore
closure against ii, which were consolidated
under the title of the Farmers Loan and
Trust Company and others against the
Louisville. New Albany & Chicago Railway
Company. The three suits were brought by
the holders of bonds for the foreclosure or
the mortgages securing the bonds, the
claim being made that the interest on the
bonds had been defaulted and that the de-
fendant company was wholly insolvent.
One set OF bonds on which the mortgage Is
being foreclosed was issued to the Farm
ers Loan and Trust Company and John II.
Barker. trustees, under date of Jan. l. 1856.
Another was TO the Central Trust Company
and John II. Stotsenburg, trustees, dated
May l. 1890. The last bonds were issued TO
the Central Trust Company and James
Murdoch trustees under date of Sept. l,
1894. The bonds aggregate $4,000, oO0
The sale will be made at the L.. n. A. q
G. roundhouse, near the belt road. w. A.
Van Buren is special master In chancery,
and will make the sale. Under the decree
of the court the upset price is fixed at
81, 600 900. This includes everything, includ-
ing all the rights and franchises, the rights
of way buildings and improvements, equip
ment and some stock in other railroads. All
but the equipment will be offered for sale
first separately. The upset price on this is
s., 500, 900, and on the equipment S5OO,OOO. Bid
ders are required to deposit with the special
master upon making the bid certified
check for $50 0o0 to show good faith.
To-day Judge Woods, of the United States
Court will listen to the presentation OF the
case Of the holders of the BeattyVille bonds.
An intervening petition was filed a week
ago by st. John Boyle. of Louisville, rep
resentiDg the holders of these bonds. The
Louisville Trust Company owns the ma
jority of them. These petitioners claim thar
the bonds should be paid in full in prefer
ence TO the bonds Of the m lin system. They
hold that the suits filed by the holders of
the other bonds and the obtainlng of the
decree for the sale of the road is "a coll
lusive deal by those bondhoders to gobble
up the road by freezing out the petitioners
and other small creditors. They claim that
the interest on the bonds held by the per-
sons who brought the consolidated suit was
not defaulted, as claimed, and that there
was really no grounds for the suits or the
order Of sale. 1t is asked that the decree
ordering the sale be set aside.

PARK BONDS IN DEMAND
THIRTY-NINE LETTERS RECEIVED
FROM PROSPECTIVE BIDDERS.
Controllers Right to Accent ANY Part
Of an Bid-Bad Water supply
Due TO Mud.

The coming sale OF park bonds promises
we'll for the city. Since the Council author
lied the issuing of 600 of bonds for this
purpose Controller Johnson has received
thirty-nine letters from prospective bidders,
making inquiries concerning the bonds.
These letters come from all the money CEN
ters of the country, many being from New
York and Chicago. They all inquire to
the ordinance authorizing the issue. the
authority of the Council to pass the ordi-
nance and other things touching the legal
ity of the bonds.
All of this information is now prepared
in the shape of circular letter which will
contain a copy of the ordinance and other
laws needed by the attorneys of the pros
pective bidders. The copy for this circular
is now in the hands of the printer and IL
will be out in day or two, when it will
be mailed TO all who have inquired and to
many others who may be induced TO bid
1t is expected that the competition for the
bonds will be very close. For long time
the bonds of this city have held high
place in the markets of the country. This is
shown by the fact that the Iasr bonds were
sold at a good premium and bore only 4
per cent. interest, while at the same time
bonds of some other corporations which
were not looked upon with any particular
suspicion, went begging in the market.
Those new bonds will bear per cent. in
terest and it is expected that there will be
good premium offered.
The bidders will be required to submit a
bid for the amount they desire TO take, but
the controller will have a right TO accept
any part OF any bid offered. This will give
him an opportunity TO accept any bids at
a good premium that may be offered by
small investors, who will pay more than
the regular purchasers of such issues. He
can then accept the best bid from those
Offering to take large amounts for the re-
naming portion OF the issue, or he can re-
ject all bids. Bids will be received March
81 and will be opened at noon.

Christian Endenvor Business.

Western roads have reached an agreement
regarding the handling OF Christian En-
deavor business to San Francisco next July.
No Generalization in rates in consequence
of it is now feared The rate agreed to for
the occasion is too low to make it worth
while to fight for the business. 1t is but
Sol for the round trip. or considerably less
than one-way rate. The roads have
agreed that they will pay no commissions
on this business grant no free transporta-
ton or do anything else with the view of
diverting business from one road to an
other. The whole control OF routing the
business has been turned over to the chair
