RAILROAD DEEERs INTEREST.
Circular to Holders OF Southern Indiana
First Mortgage Bonds.

Circular to Holders Of Southern Indiana
First Mortgage Bonds.
A circular has been sent to the holders
Of the first mortgage bonds Of the South
ern Indiana Railway announcing that the
interest payment on the bonds due yes
terday has been deferred. The general
depression of railway business IL given
"a the reason.
However. the circular goes on to say
that the earnings Of the road for the first
six months OF the fiscal year were such
AZ to Justify the expectation that it would
be b TO meet the interest and other hIed
charges due at this time out OF the earnings
of the succeeding six months. Accord
ingly the surplus earnings OF the first ak
months were spent on betterments and
other corporate purposes.
It il expected. the circular Says. that
arrangements will be made at an early
date FOR the payment Of the interest In
question. II such an arrangement cannot
be made the directors are confident that
already available, will be sufficient ven
under present conditions to Jay the interest.
From the text Of the circular it Ii inferred
that no action for foreclosure under the
mortgage and the resulting receivership
for tho road can be brought until after
ninety days from the date Of the default.
The Southern Indiana IL an independent
line, with O trackage of about 200 miles.
II was organized In 1897 and has an out
standing capital stock Of Sl1 ,000. 900 The

faulted amount to $1,S2s. 900. John r.

able increase In the number Of che birds I'm
spite Of heavy Losses through recent storms.
The islands are nineteen In number and
were given by the Federal and State gov
ernments to the Audubon Society as a bird
reservation. At the time Of the gift the
sea birds on the Gulf coast were nearly
extinct.
The census shows that % 900 more birds
have been added to the population Of tho
islands this summer. They are mainly
laughing gulls. Next In number are the
Louisiana herons, the royal oabots and
Forster's terms and black swimmers. Some
Of the varieties are nearly extinct. There
are only twenty-five snowy herons left.
Twenty-Five black crowned night herons
and thirty-ive Caspian terns, all onoe
abundant on the Gulf coast, but killed OF
for their plumage. A number Of eges have
been destroyed and young birds killed by
recent storms and there are still some
depredations by millinery pot hunters.
A warden may have to be stationed at the
islands to keep OF these pests. Several
species OF the most beautiful sea. birds Of
the Gulf coast nave been exterminated In
the last ten years for their ~aigrettes, the
birds being killed for a single feather. The
Audubon Society hopes to save those va.
rieties that still exist.
