An Agreement lleuihed llclnren the Commit
tee ItppreMmtlug DWerciit Interests
Directors' Finn uf IlcnrKUtiluitleu
Adopted Willi Modlllcnllens.
A Joint meeting of the. Wholen anil Dartel
commltleo of the Bending railroad company
was held In Philadelphia en Thursday nt
which It Is understood nn ngreement was
reached for an amicable adjustment el' the
nHairBef that corporation. This agreement,
H is understood, was a Blight modification or
the directors' plan of reorganization. The
Uartel committee, agrced net te insist upon
the iKiyment in full of the general niorlgage
Interest or or the malntenauce of the sinking
fund. It was demanded, however, that the
interest en the scrip, which, according te
the present plan, is payable when the scrip
is redeemed, shall be paid Heml-aunually. It
was explained that n proviso of this nature
would mnke the scrip inore readily ne
gotiable. Te this preposition the Widen
commlttce made an objection. It was also
stipulated that the $9111,000 or etd general
mertgage scrip, which matures in July, shall
be taken up wlieti ilue, or as seen thorcarter
us posslble, and this was also agreed te.
Anether condition was that unless the plan
received such goneral assent that It could be
enforced within a specified time the assent of
the Bartel representatives should be void.
As the prescnt plan coulemplatos ioreclosuio
in case the requisite assent is net socured, no
objoctien was made.
The matter of the lleating debt was also
considered. As is well known, about $9,000,
000 of the $1S,JOO,000 or $19,000,000 lleating
debt has been extcuded by the holders for a
period or thrce years. It Is propesod te raise
n collateral trust lean of $10,000,000 te pro pre pro
vlde for the remainder. This money the
junior bondholders and stockholders are
pected te provide There aie nearly $21,000,
000 of junior mertgage and dobenturo bends
and the capital stock is about $.5 1.000,000. Each
bend and sharoheldor is te be asked te take
20 per ceiil. of the par valuoef bis holdings in
this new lean. Thus the holder orevory $1,000
bend would be expected te pay $200, and ro re ro
eclve therefer bends or the company secured
by collateral. In case the company failed te
pay the interest the creditor could sole en
the collateral. Theso juniersecurlty holders
and stockholders who are unable or unwill
ing te subscribe te the trust lean will be re
quested te deliver up a portion of their hold
ings, ir nnv of the lam is paid oll'ne jurl of
the collateral can be withdrawn, but will go
te appreclate the security of the remaining
loanheldcrs. Heme powerful friends or the
company will also be called upon te take part
of the lean. It is bclleved thai, if the urraugo urrauge urraugo
Hieiit can be consummated the market price
or the junior securities would advance con
siderably, se that the holders would receive
back their subscription in the increased value
ei' their bends.
Theso were the main points discussed, and
en nil an amicable agreement was reached.
The Wholen coinniitteengrccd te recommend
te the beard or managers te alter the plan of
reorganization in accordance with the views
or the Bartel representatives. Apaporspoel Apaperspoel Apaporspeel

Metlly, Wright, Comegys and Twombly for
their approval, and will tlien be submitted te
the beard of managers. That body w ill held
a special meeting en Monday te take the pro
posed amendments into consideration.
The members of the committees were very
retlcent in talking about the co-ife-cnce,
pleading that they were I -emul toscerosy.
Mr. Wnnaiuaker said : "The two committees
liave ceme te an understanding, and the

Dr. Jeshua Potts, Henry Fisher and Caleb
Tewnscnd, were taken from the county
prison this morning le the Pennsylvania
railroad station by Deputy Sh6rifV Hunter,
-whero tliey wero handed ever te SherilV
Toiulinsen, who was thore te rocelvo them,
te take them le their future homes in Phila
delphia, en the Harrlsburg express train. It
was net generally Known that these prisoners
were te be taken te Philadelphia te-day, and
the number et persons te see them depart
was net large. Handculls were net put en
the doctor In the walk from the prison te tlie
station, but Fisher ami Tewnscnd were
haudculfed together.
The doctor, in a conversation with an In In
ti:i,i,ieknci:ii reporter, said he fcltsure that
he never would get back te Lancaster alive :
that he was new past 711 years, and 11 ve years'
imprisonment, soparate and solitary con cen
llnemeut, would surely kill him. The ovi evi
dence en which he was convicted, he said,
was very slight, but jmpular opinion did tlie
work, and Judge Livingston thought it was
incumlienteuhim le pass a heavy sentence
ler the crimes committed liy ethers In the
saine business.
Fisher, who was convicted of robbing the
Jewelry stere erM. J. Weldonlieller. said lie
had two vcarsef imprisonment ahead of lilm,
but that he did net mind, as it would seen
slip around, and he would come back te
Lancaster. "The next time," continued he,
"you can bet I won't be feel enough te bury
a "whole jewelry stere In n wheat Held, and
then get caught digging it up."
Caleb Townsend, who gives his age at 15,
and who pleaded guilty te robbing the money
dmw er at Tshudy's eyster naloen, was com
mitted le the Heuse of Hefuge until he ar
i Ives at thuagoef 21 years. He was uncon
cerned about his tutiire ; seemed te be do de
lighted at the prospect era car rhle te Phila
delphia, and said he presumed he would
have te learn a trade at the Heuse or Kefuge,
and lie didn't cire at what trade he was put.
Deputy Clerk or tlie (JuartorSesslons Kany
accompanied the shenll te Philadelphia. On
the same train weie a large numliorer promi

that that dread dlsease is beyend human help
or knowledge, se far asanyprescntdtsecryerics

judge recalls a very dramatic scene, which
occurred at a dinner at which he was proseut
during the early days of the epidemic. The
guests were seated about a brilliantly lighted
beard. The social spirit among the guests
was high. A toast was alHiut te be drank.
The gnosis, tee, turned te pledge each

waiting upon llie table fall dead. Instantly
