A Zjsrgely-Attended Meeting of the
Bondholders Discusses Plans
for a reorganization.
The meeting of the Cape Fear A-Yadkin
Valley Railway bondhold
li.rs yesterday brought together
of the largest gatherings of
re.ilroad security-holders ever held
in Baltimore. Nearly one hundred
psrsons alteoded the meeting,
which wax held at the Maryland
Life Insurance Building. A large
number of out-of-town bondholders
were present. Mr. Alfred P. Thorn,
ot Norfolk, Va., presided.
Interest in the meeting was
heightened by the appearance of
representatives of the New York
committee of holders of bonds of
■ A division of the road and the
development of propositions rela-tive
to the future of the property
from both the Southern Railway
and the Seaboard Air Line system.
The result of the meeting was
that a majority of the "A" bonds
voted against the plan of reorgani-zation
as announced by the bond-holders'
reorganization committee,
ami known as the Baltimore plan.
Holders of a majority of the total
issue of bonds on the three di-visions
of the property, however,
approved the plan.
I'niler the original agreement
the acceptance of the plan was to
be determined by each division for
its) If. The vote was as follows:
For Baltimore plan—$394,000 of
A bonds, 1497,000 of "B" bonds
and $028,000 of "C" bonds; total,
$1,510,000.
For New York Flan—$595,000
•A" bonds-, $30,000 "B" bonds,
15,000 "C" bonds; total, $040,000
The respective divisions, with
issue of bonds thereon, are as
follows:
•A. Smith Carolina State line
. 1 Payetteville to Creeneboro, N.
„ I 16 miles, $1,600,000
■IV Greenelioru to M<>unl Airy,
the Southern Railway Company.
Should "B" division to secured for
the Southern Railway $450,000 of
additional bonds would be issued,
the rental being proportionately
increased to pay the interest there-on.
If "C" division bs also ob
tained, $400,000 more of bonds
would be issued under a like ar
rangement.
The Baltimore plan provides for
the issuance of $500,000 of 4} per
cent, preference bonds, $3,400,000
of new general mortgage bonds
bearing interest for four years at
3 per cent, and at 4 per cent, there-after,
$1,700,000 first preferred
stock, $000,000 of second preferred
stock and $900,000 of common
stock.
These securities are to be dis-tributed
as follows: For each

Gen John GUI, receiver of the
Cape Fear road, said that the prop-rty
could easily earn the fixed
charges of Ihe Baltimore plan and
in a few 'ears could pay • divi-dend
on preferred stock.
Mr. W. II Ulackford submitted
i proposition from President R. C
Hoffman, of the Seaboard Air Line,
to operate the road as part of that
system, guaranteeing the interest
m all bonds to be issued under the
Baltimore plan and to give any net
earnings in excess of expenses and
tixed charges as a dividend on the
preferred stock.
The proposition permits the

to elect its own board of di-rectors

Mr. John <\ Maben, representing
the New York committee, and Mr.
harles Steele, counsel for that
committee, presented its position.
This developed the offer of the
Southern Railway. It was claimed
by this committee that the "A" di-vision
is of greater value than
either the "B' or "C" division.
The plan of the New Y'ork com
mittee was based on this division
An idler was made to purchase "B"

No plan was presented by the
New York crnnnittee for the reor-ganization

I'erot, John A Tompkins, Frank
T. Redwood, Basil B. Gordon and
J. Wm. Middendorf compose the
Baltimore committee.
The .'Reorganization Committee
of the First Mortgage Bondholders
later published the following state-ment
:
'■The result of the meeting of the
Bondholders on December 23d de-veloped
the fact that the proposi-tion
of the New York Committee,
even if it could be carried ou',
which is doubtful, does not give so
much to the holders of "A" bonds
as does the plan proposed by the
Baltimore Committee and involves
practically a sacrifice of the B anil
C bonds, which is not warranted
by the situation.
"Nothing was decided at the
meeting except that the New York
Committee, which had purchased a
small majority of the A bonds,
would not concur in the plan of the
Baltimore Committee, but this ac
tion on their part had long been
foreseen and provided against.
"The pl»*n of the Baltimore Com
mittee has been acec^U;d ly more
than a majority of the total out-standing
bonds of the Company.
ami many bondholders (including
some A bondholder*) who were in
doubt as to their position before
the meeting have already signed
the new arrangement.
"Bondholders who have not sign-ed
the new agreement are urged to
call st the ifflee of the Secretary.
Mr. Fraik T. Redwood. 20S Kast
German street, (or any member of
the Committee,) and sign at once.
The Committee have no doubt as
to the final result, and in this
opiuion they are sustained by their
counsel, Messrs. Cowen, Cross A-Bind.
If bondholders will come for
ward at once and sign the agree-ment,
the Committee leel sure that
they can preserve the property and
restore its value. This Committee
has been acting in the interest of
all the bondholders for the purpose
of reorganizing the road, and not
for the purpose of speculating in
the bonds. B and C bondholders
are advised not to sell their bonds
at the prices which have been of-fered
by the New York Committee,
as thev will be made much more
valuable under the Baltimore plan.
There can be no reasonable doubt
but that this road can easily earn
the fixed charges under the plan

anil Ira Weaver, were shooting
near the magazine and it is sup
posed fired into it. The former,
aged eighteen, was blown to pieces,
his younger brother being perhaps
fatally injured. Chimneys, win-dows
and dishes in the vicinity
were blown down and broken. The
windows in the court house, Liv-ingston
College and Catholic church
were also shattered. The shock
