A Touching Letter*
We translate from VEco d’JioH* the letter sub
joined, written to his wile, immediately before his
death, by Colonel Stauisl to Beabi, a Florentine in
the Polish National Army. He was taken prisoner
by the Russians, in one of the many engagements,
and shot. His wife, or widow, rather, is an Ita
lian:
“Mr Poos GiutißTTA: When you reo9ive this
letter your unhappy Lao will have ceased to live,
for he will have been shot by the Russians. I bless
you, together with my beloved oblldren. Death in
spires me with no fear; I weep only that I die in *
foreign land, far from those I love, and unable to
embrace them for the last tune. You are now a
widow; but I would COUnatl lou wot to marry

the Judge.
“Nine years, 3 * responded the man.
“And not a citizen yet? 33 replied the Judge.
“ No, sir, not yet 33
“Take your certificate— leave ihe country as soon

The fellow did not hesitate leaving the court room,
but whether he will leave the country before a cer

THE POLICE.
[Before Mr. Alderman White.!
Larceny.
John McDonnell wm arraigned on Sunday morn,
ing* before the police magistrate or the Fifth ward
on the charge of the larceny of a watch chain, ana
attempted larceny of a watch, the property of John
Mullover. It teems that, on Saturday evening, iVXr.
M. and a number of hla fellow-men held a meeting
in a public house at the northeast corner of Water
and walnut streets, to oonoert measures relative to
a standard rate ot wages. McDonnell entered the
tavern, and became very familiar with the men,
feeling their watch chains, and asking the time.
Presently Jilr. fiT- felt a sort of jerk at his watch,
and the nest moment the defendant started out of
the dooi. He was speedily arrested, and a part of
the chain waa found to have been taken, the watch
remaining stfely in the pocket of tne owner. The
defendant said he came from Newark, N. J», four
days bifcie the traßinction, and was in search of
employment. He was committed in default ol $l,OOO.
Emitting a Minor.
Joseph \otkfig was arraigned at the Central sta
tion yca!fiday, on the charge of enlisting* minor
jiamed Dougherty, "Owing to the noise,
crowd, sod want of proper accommodations, we are
only able to give the pith of the affair. It seems, as
near as we could undeistsnd theevwenca, the minor
was an apprentice to the defendant. The lad wanted
to go to the war, and said if defendant would agree
to St, he would give him $375 The defendant did
agree, the lad was regularly enlisted and instead of
paying tbe amount promised, rent $175 <we under
stood) to defendant. In the meantime, the mother
of the young soldier got wind ofthe affair, and this
revolted bringing defendant, if not to the bar of
iutUee, at least to the bar of the Central Station,
preparatory to being sent to the other.
Tbe counsel for defence went into quite a labored
aigument, or rather an elaborate repression of pu
opinion that defendant h»d done nothin? wrong.
The msgi.trate did not agree -Mb ttwL*®™® 4 *•*
Uimnn. end therefore ordered the derend.nt to enter
ball In the »um of anno to .ntwer ot court,
A. the .übieot of eolutio* minor, moy daily some
before the mogi«tr*c? of thli city, It moy utit be Im
proper to .tote the ruling of the eourt In each eoiei.
The Judge, of court, hove decided time and ngoln,
on writs of habeas corpus, that a minor cannot be
enlisted into the service of the country without pa*
rental consent. In every tuoh Initamrihuinors have
been discharged, with the proviso, however, that
restitution be made of all property or money ob
tained by them by enlisting.
[BefbreMr. Alderman T>outherty.]
Selling Liquor without a LlOsttie.
Robert Fox, the proprietor or Fox 1 * Cssiao, was
arraigned on Saturday evening on the charge or sell
ing liquor without a license. The evidence as to
the selling of liquor was positive. The aooated was
held to bail in the sum of $l,OOO to answer at oourt.
It is said that proceedings have been instituted
against defendant for using a drop-curtain and shift
ing scenes in his establishment, witnnut having
taken out a license. The fioe for the violation of
this law is $5OO. The suit is neoeissrily a civil one.
tßeftro Mr. Alderman Battler*!
Another Arrest.

the recent outrage upon Casper M. Berry, at the
Railroad Hotel, Germantown, was arraigned at the
Central Station yesterday afternoon Mr. Berry
testified to the facta of the attack, and stated that
be wished to be distinctly understood that be iden
tified most positively the defendants, Samuel Jef
fries and Sam. Smith, as beiog foremost iu the out
rage. Mr. Berry has not yet'fully recovered from
the effects of the attack that was mads upon him.
The defendant was required to enter hall in the sum
of $l,OOO. This amount was entered ny a man who

IMPORTANT TO STOCK AND LOANHOLDER3 OP
THE LEHIGH COAL ANo NAViGATiON CO
Ashton and others vs. The Lehigh Coat and Navigation
__ Company.
The pltintiffs are composed of stock and loanholdera*
and the question before the court w»b (he right of the
defendants to convert $1,800,G00 of scrip into the stock
oi the company tix year* before the maturity of the mort
gage loan. The effect of such a conversion was alleged
to be*lst, the increase of the capital stock of the com
pany $1 SOO.COO; 2d, to tbke from the sinking fund pro
vided by the terms of ihewaoitgage, for the payment of
the bonds, the yearly sum of Hi- B,las, st. a<-yrge F.
Campbell and John G Kuos, for the plaintiffs, eonieuded"
I t. That the act of 24th of Starch. 1863,}does not autho
rize the use of the bonds to be secured by tne mortgage
in pursuance of the powers it contains* to be applied to
the purpose proposed.
2d. That the proposed arrangement would he a viola
tion of the expre s contract made by the company with
the holders of the bonds as set forth in the mortgage
0f1&42_. ”
3d. That even if such an arraugeihent were lawful. Ifc
is not shotsn that adequate provision is made for the die*
charge of the bonds when due
4th. That the proposed conversion would greatly im*
pair the value of the stock, and prejudice the rights of
theexistinK stockholders, and cannot, therefore, legally
he made Without the assent of all the stockholdeis.
It was farther argued that by the terms of the mort
gage the company stipulates with its creditors, that it
will make no dividend of profits to its stocknolders,
Whilst any loan secured thereby shall after demand re
main unpaid, and that the profits shall, in the first place,
be exclusively applied, after the completion and repairs
Of the Works, to the interest and then to the principal of
such, loans and other debts which shall be from time to
time due and unpaid. That after this is don*, or pro
vision made therefor, six per cent, may annually be
divided amongst the shareholders Ali excess Ilf any)
to be put into a sinking fund to be held for the benefit of
bondholders, so far as their security may require, and
afterwards for the benefit of the stockholders oi the said
company.
This is the mortgage contract. Gan ihe security be
changed, modified, or lessened by the action or the mort
gager, without the as&ent of all of th.B beneficial mort
gage? That the addition or $l,BOO 000 to the capital
stock of the company* and the annual payment of s?x
per cent, dividend thereon, would lessen the amount
which otherwise would be applied to the sinking fond,
annually f 108.C00. cannot be denied.
In answer to the position taken by the Company and
by the counsel fer the scrip holders that the Company
had abundant means to provide for the security 01 such
IoEU-holdeis as objected to the conversion, it was ar
gued that when it was considered that the singing or
contingent fund had actually been daring the year JS62
decreased by the sum of $310,000, whilst toe floating
debt of the company was increased In the same time by
the sum of $372.572.45; that the whole contingent fund
at the close 01 the year 1882, twenty years after the crea
tion ol the mortgage, was but $667 490.00, Walle the
floating debt .was $725,180 81; that the cost of
rettoiing the canal to its condition before the
flood of June, 1562. would be $900,000 01 ti» substi
tute a railway from $600,000 to $660.000, sure-y no one
could safely predict, that the distribution of the profile
amongst the eh*re>-old*rs instead of applying them to
the sinking fond, would not Interfere with the prompt
payment of the mortgage debt when due It was utterly
unsafe to take the business of 1863 as a test for tuiure pro
fits. for it w*s well understood that the coal carrying
improvement companies have, within the last year, done
sn amount of business. and received profits are illy bs»
vend what can reasonably be expected for the future
But withont regard to what has been actually accent
pliabtd in the pastor what is hoped for in the future, the
bondholder has an undoubted right to claim the se
curity contracted for, without change, alteration, or
sub- motion. To say that the company may increase
the stock, because it has lessened its debt, was to render
inoperative that clause in the mortgage which de
clares that the profits shall- from time to time, be ap
plied to the payment of the debt as the sam~ shall be
come due and payable.
As regards the scrlph old era. it was contended that the
contract between the company and the scripholder was,
tk&c the company will pay its folded debt when dae. or
if it was not then demanded it will make adequate pro
vision for its payment and will thex re ieeoi its scrip
by the Issue ot new shares of stock t<j an equal amount.
£ji K. Price and G. Mallory, on behalf of the tcrip
htldexs argued that the act of March 4,1893. authorize d
a new loan and mortgage ' for the general purposes of
the business” of the company. This incuded the right
of the company to take up the existing mortgage loan,
and thereby release the company from the peculiar re
strictions of the mortgaged 1842 The company would
then have the funds raised by the proposal mortgage of
*3, fOO,OOO, and besides these ether sheets amounting to
fl 779,551 29. . B
This mortgage of 1842 is not so inflexible in Us terms
as to aefr all equitable arrangements for the relief
of the company snd stock and scrip bold erg The
process of inventing profits, and of impounding and
compounding them, is not one of inexorable r-qubi
tion by the loanholders. but only “ so fvr as their eecu
rity may require. ” And so far as their atcurUy mar
require, it n. the desire of the eciiphoJdera that the
managers and the court shall take care of them. For
this, the stockholders’ third resolution amply prorides,
namely, that the managers shall app >i»fc trustees, **to
whom a sufficient amount of good money securities of
the company shall be assigned, amply to secure all the
holders of certificates, secured by tne mortgage of 184 i.
remaining unpaid or unsatisfied as aforesaid, when their
securities shall become payable.” It is only after ail
this that tbe fourth resolution asks that tha scrip oe
made stock certificates, and not then until the Supreme
Court shall sanction such convertion- Will that court
er join the defendants from doing what they prop se to
do. but v» ith the sanction of this court 7
Bui what will be the ability of the company to pay
this mortiage debt in 1870 ?
It is f-hown at p. 4 of company’s answer, in

that are the security for thou debts. Their works and
-properly eost $7,454,365.63 (Company s Answer, 4), and
are worth alUheir cost and more; for though a portion
ol the woiks have been swept sway by the floods the
essential parts have been renewed and r paired out of
< revenue, and. bearing ay sari? increasing tonnage, have
; become on that account more valuable, while the coal
j fends have largely enhanced in v“.lue-
Itwas snbmtued that the rcripholders are pro ra f a
owners with tbe fctcckholdeis as to all the property and
profits ofthe cotporation, only excluded from receiving
their share of profits in cash becaase at oresont im
pounded by mortgage contract as security for creditors,
yet equally with ttockholaer* entitled to share the
• profits-but having to wait (he actual receipt of them

we** to be the import of the scrip resolution letting
aciipnolders Hsto a. participation of the profits of the
company. It beccmeß an article of assvciatloß between
the two classes or owners; and as partnership accounts
must be taken and adjus ed according to the articles of
their association, so must be the accounts of t> ese asso
ciated owners under their charter. <-*ollyar, 166. >
On bthaif of the company, William tf. Meredith argued
that the stockholders -have no right to ask »he court to
enjoin the managers against setting apart funds to secure
the Joanholaers, or determining that adequate provision
has already been made for them, nor against converting
the scrip into stock, for none of these eniogswete al
leged to be in violation of the charter; they concern
jn*-Tely . the bntlnees and ftfftirs of the compiny.” of
that the “ Board of Manners”
shall have the direction.
2 As loanholAers the complainants have no right to
ask an opinion of the court on the legality of the prv
pcsedl use of the bonds, if they think that the proposed
nse of them is illegal, or for any other reason d -i not de
sire to have them, they have only to Ceclioe receiving
them. nobody has ever heard of a bill filed by a credi
tor to restrain his debtor from offering to pay him in
bad money, or to give him a bad security in exchange for
a good one for a debt not yet payable. BTo- can the
loanholders object to the setting aside of aay fuuds for
their ultimate payment, or t> tne mere conversion of
tie scrip into stock; for the first cannot ini are them
and in the second they have no direct interest. In the
consequence of such conversion, to wit, the payment
cnt.of the profit, of the company of an anmul dividend
Of fix per sent, to tu«. holders of such, ttock, tn« In an -
