Baltimore, July 1.-The receivership
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
terminated at IL o'clock last night and
the property was turned over to the
stockholders without celebration or
formal ceremony. John X. Cowen
and Oscar G. Murray were appointed
receivers of the company on February
29th, 1896, by the United States court
for the District of Maryland. Being
familiar with the needs of the property
the receivers decided that the only
wise course to pursue was to practi-
cally rebuild and re-eQuip the railroad
The physical condition was bad, its
equipment antiquated and inadequate
to handle business and its insufficiency
was such as to seriously injure the
revenues. The receivers plans were
discussed by the security holders and
as large majority agreed to the pro-
vision Of enough funds to place the
road in condition to handle its traf-
fc, they obtained permission Of the
court to issue certificates for the pur-
chase, by means of equipment trusts
and receivers certificates, of new cars
and locomotives and to improve the
physical condition of the property.
The plan also provided for the payment
in full of all receivers indebtedness,
the entire floating debt Of the COM
pany, represented by promissory notes
and negotiable obligations and Of all
car trust obligations, enabling the COM
pany to begin the fiscal year OF 1899
1900 with all its obligations paid. For
the reason that reorganization was
possible without a foreclosure. the orig
inal charter Of the company remains in
force, and the next annual meeting of
the stockholders will be the 78d. The
new stock Of the company IL held BY in
terests which cannot fail to be Of great
help to the property and much new
capital has been invested In the ~
curities, and there is a sufacisncy Of
money for still further Improvements,
which are in progress, with a view to
still further reducing the cost Of trans
portation.

A RESPITE.

II was a tragic episode, but had seen so
much tragedy crowded into my life for the
past few days that this quick and probably
painless passing Of human soul made in my
state but little impression. | looked for the
doctor, but saw the doors OF the forccastle
fast closed, and afterward found that the
force of the water had slammed them on
him, knocking him from the ladder to the
deck below. A pity it was that there and
then it had not been he instead Of my
plucky enemy who had first planted foot to
come aft. Better for my subsequent happi-
ness would il have been if, instead Of the
sailor, that red.faced drunkard had ehoked
in the element he so despised.

The greatest agony of either sprang from
seasickness and its attendingmiserios. There
was not one Of us who thought Of food
which was probably fortunate, as our stock
brought on board was brine.soaked and ru-
ined. Even my toughened self and the
tougher sailors lost heart and stomach in
the deadening nausea that gradually seized
us and kept its hold. The doctor, impris
oned forward by the seas. and too cowardly
to show his head after his one attempt TO
come aft, might have been in another world
for all we heard or saw OF him. The last
drop Of stimulant had gone, and with il had
gone the last Of even fictitious spirits. An
unsuitable apathy cutched our company
and, save that one lurch OF the vessel was
Of greater violence than another, nothing
marked the events of hours. Fear had
passed; anxiety was dead; day and night
were meaningless terms. Wewere only wait
