Richmond and Manchester Railroad
COMPANY Ready to Redeem
the Bonds.

There is very little doubt that within a
very short while the receiver for the Rich
mond and Manchester hallway. will be
discharged and the property turned over
TO the Passenger and Power Company.
This arrangement was agreed to in the
United States Circuit Court yesterday
morning between counsel for the company
and counsel for the receiver.
Al the hearing last Friday, the Rich
nond Passenger and Power Company
stated that they were ready to take up
the outstanding bonds at any moment,
that the money for that purpose was in
the hands of the Merchants Trust Com
pany OF New York. and that they felt
and insisted that, the receiver be dis
charged. AT the request of the receiver
continuance was allowed until yesterday,
in order TO give him an opportunity to in
quire into the condition Of affairs and
10 formulate a reply.
When court assembled yesterday, Mr.
{. V Meredith submitted that the money
claimed TO be held in New York for the
payment Of the bonds be brought to
Richmond and placed TO the order Of the
court and that the sum OF $3,0N0 be put
up 10 corer expenses entailed through the
receivership.

Rumors are current in Paris that the
Chinese embassy has received notification
of the massacre of the French and British
ministers at Pekin. but there is no con-

Shanghai reports that the allied forces
at Tien Tsin are suffering from the lack
of good drinking water. owing to the Pei

Chinese victims of the bombartiment.
